"Everyone that we dealt with couldn?t have been nicer. We had a tub to shower conversion which was completed in one day. Matt, the installer, laid a tarp down from the door to our bathroom to protect the floors.
He asked for our input when he was installing the shelves and grab bars. After he finished cleaning everything up he explained how to used the new shower head and what to use to clean the surface. The next day we texted him with a question and he immediately answered.
We couldn?t be happier with the job done and the professionalism of the company."
"I would highly recommend this company. Our new shower is awesome. They were in and out in one day just as they said. We did a tub to shower conversion."
"Don and Carol worked around our schedule and when Covid in our house delayed the completion, they were ready when we got healthier to finish the job. I am very pleased with my new shower, goodbye nasty old tub."
"From Start to finish, it was the best experience. I was worried about about the project because of passed experiences. But House Doctors quickly put my worries to rest. The Sales team was open and honest from start to finish. Eric and his team were on time clean and did a great job with the shower. Highly recommend House Doctors"
"I had Ken and his crew come out in Dec. 2019 to install a new shower and replace two sink faucets in our primary bathroom. They did a great job. We did need a little warranty work done recently and they sent out a service technician who did what we asked courteously and professionally. I love a company that stands behind their work and Prime Baths in Coal City does just that. Will use them again as needed for sure."
"Tony Curry. the owner of Omni, was great to work with. He was at the job site most every day to ensure the project was moving forward correctly and to address any of our concerns. It's a shame Omni only does bathrooms. We would like to use him and his crew for other projects we have planned for our home."
"They came in the time allocated. I had two areas I needed looked at , main shut off waterline which some tightening of fittings that were done. The other was replace a part in the faucet if the tub that mixes cold an warm water. Only the cold worked. He tried to loosen and clean the warm part, it needed to be replaced. They went to the local hartware and purchased it. It now works fine now. One suggestion would be that every time an additional charge was mentioned, I had to ask specifically how much it would add to the total bill. I definitely will hire him again."
"I wanted my bathroom to be simple, practical, and easy to use. The old tub wasn't doing much for me, so replacing it with a walk-in shower was at the top of my list. Century City Baths did a great job. The new shower feels much more spacious, looks clean and modern, and is perfect for a quick shower after the gym or a long day. The crew was professional, kept everything tidy, and the workmanship looks solid."
"Antonio and his crew completed a 2-week remodel of two bathrooms at my house, including new tile floors and walls, a new shower, new vanities and sinks, and a new bath tub. They were very professional and provided good recommendations throughout. My wife and I are both very pleased with the outcome of their work, and were very impressed at their commitment to meeting the intended project dates. We have recommended them to our family members already, and would recommend to anyone else in the western suburbs. Thanks for the help!"
"My husband & I have been researching a tub to shower conversion for almost 2 years. We wanted American made & a family owned business. We talked to a number of companies. The estimates were extreme for the poor quality of materials. We were frustrated not knowing who to trust or being upsold or steered away from our vision of our bathroom. Our hard work paid off when we were connected to Alison Hawks and Eric with Premier Home Pros. Alison is their Sr. Design Consultant and Mktg. Mgr. Eric was meticulous at the prep work & measurements needed for our estimate from Alison. We had someone who listened, got to know us, followed what we wanted, met our timetable & most importantly... understood our budget. Alison & I clicked right away. She showed me samples of everything with suggestions for the style I was going for. They did not waste our time, the process moved along swiftly, professionally, never pressured. I know they will both be there for us during the process with the whole team."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
Yes, plumbers can replace showers. In fact, you should hire a licensed plumber rather than a shower installer if your project involves adding fixtures or moving pipes. However, you don’t necessarily need a plumber for simpler projects, like installing a direct-to-studs shower kit. In that case, you can hire a shower installer, handyperson, or DIY it.
The cost of making a bathroom accessible can be $3,000 to $25,000, but you could spend as much as $50,000 building a brand-new ADA-compliant bathroom. Some bathroom accessibility upgrades to consider include:
Installing grab bars: $100–$500
Lowering cabinets and vanities: $1,200–$2,500
Installing modified doors: $700–$1,500
Installing a modified toilet: $400–$1,000
Installing an accessible sink and faucet: $100–$1,000
Adding a walk-in tub: $1,100–$17,000
Converting a bathtub into a walk-in tub: $350–$1,000
Installing a wheelchair-accessible shower: $2,000–$7,500
Installing a shower ramp: $16–$300
Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
Expect minimal disruption, with all work handled efficiently to ensure a quality end product.
In short, it depends. When it comes to accessibility, a roll-in shower is easier to enter than a walk-in bathtub because it doesn’t have the extra step required to access the bathing area. On the downside, walk-in showers can be less safe for seniors who struggle with standing or balancing. Parents of young children may also prefer walk-in bathtubs for their ease of bathing children who don’t yet know how to clean themselves.
