"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!"
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
A shower handle that turns all the way around usually means that the set screw holding the handle on has loosened. Find the screw and tighten it with a screwdriver. If that doesn’t work, replace the shower handle, as an internal component in the old one may have broken, causing the normal valve stop to disengage.
If you are in the market for a new showerhead, consider investing in a metal option rather than plastic. Metal showerheads are more durable and long-lasting, and bacteria tend to survive and grow better on plastic. Besides the materials, what works best for you will depend on personal preference. Maybe you would prefer a showerhead with as many settings as possible, or you would like a handheld one.
You can install a shower pan liner over plywood using the steps outlined above. However, before pouring the mortar pre-slope or installing a premanufactured slope product, check the condition of the plywood. The subfloor should be stable, level, and free of rot or other damage. You’ll need to repair damaged sections before pouring the mortar.
Current trends include frameless glass, smart shower systems, and water-efficient fixtures.
If there are no issues with the plumbing in your house or with the city’s water lines, then it may be possible for you to increase water pressure in your shower by cleaning or replacing your showerhead. For the latter, you should look for high-pressure showerheads with a flow rate as close to the maximum available, which is 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM).
