"I highly recommend Bay State Bath. The installers did a fabulous job efficient ,respectful. When done they cleaned up the area and you would never know they had been here.
If you’re thinking of installing a walk-in shower, do it now, you won’t regret it. I should’ve done it years ago."
"Had a wonderful experience. They took out my tub and installed a wonderful shower with safety bars, rainwater shower head and glass sliding shower doors. I look forward to my shower every day. Just love it. And everyone I worked with was great and very helpful. My shower turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend this company."
"Jeff and crew remodeled my master bath tub/shower. Jeff was professional and a pleasure to work with. His crew and subs were excellent and the project progressed well and met my expectations. I would use Jeff again without hesitation. I recommend him highly."
"Our existing bathroom was a half bathroom with sink vanity, toilet, washer and dryer. We needed to eliminate laundry equipment and add shower and closet in the space that was designated for a washer and dryer, and add outside venting. We also wanted to tile the whole bathroom up to the ceiling. The job was performed excellent and we are very happy with the choices we made. Bill Perry and his crew were working in our house before renovating basement and building rooms there, so we knew that they were the best company for us. They were great giving us advice to improve on things that we wanted done, so they look and work better with a given space. We are very happy again. Thank you Perry Brothers!"
"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
Use mortar underneath the shower base. The mortar holds the shower pan in place and creates a level surface when spread properly. If your flooring is not level, you would need to use shims to create a level surface before moving forward with the mortar and base installation.
Note that installing a shower pan on an uneven surface can eventually lead to cracks and leaks.
There are many benefits of converting a tub to a walk-in shower, including:
Increasing home value (if there’s another tub in the house)

Easing showering for those who benefit from more accessibility
Saving money on water bills
The P-trap is an essential part of the shower drain and is installed directly below it. It mainly functions as a barrier, preventing sewer gases and their odors from seeping into your bathroom. It also helps catch clogs so they don’t end up deeper in your home’s plumbing, where they’re more difficult to remove.
A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.
Depending on complexity, Installation can take one to three days to ensure all plumbing and tile work is completed correctly.
