"Our tub/shower conversion to walk in shower went great and we are pleased with the outcome. Our installer, Walter and Oscar, were professional, able to answer any questions and very easy to work with."
"We wanted a tub-to-shower conversion, but found it challenging to nail down a contractor until we called Fox Remodeling. William Fox is a rare bird these days. Pleasant, responsive, punctual, flexible, focused, and fast, he embodies an old-school business ethic that has all but vanished from so much commerce. William skillfully crafted our beautiful new tiled shower within the projected timeframe and at the estimated cost. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for superb service at very fair prices."
"Absolutely phenomenal! Luis and his crew were polite, honest, and professional. My husband and I have never experienced working with a contractor before, so we prayed for God to put the right people in our path, and He answered our prayers tremendously. We were clueless about materials and how much things should cost on average, but Luis guided us step-by-step. He and his crew built a second walk-in closet for our master bedroom. The work looks so professional, it looks as if the closet is a part of the house’s original design, very seamless! Part of our back porch was used for the space, and one of the living room windows had to be removed. We’re still in awe of how it looks like a window was never there! We plan on using BetaPro in the near future, and highly, HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone!!"
We have the experience and we are committed to providing quality workmanship and superior customer service on all our applications. We at Legendary Plumbing LLC strive to maintain our reputation as a high quality, very service oriented company with our main focus being customer satisfaction.
"We had a little issue with getting all the materials together and getting the job completed due to some unexpected occurrences in his personal life, but after addressing these issues the work was done quickly and efficiently. He is very easy to talk to and communicate with. Overall a good experience."
"Their team showed up and did a walk through of what would need to be done to achieve the remodel I wanted. They walked me through the cost of labor and supplies . They showed up on time, ready to work and when the job was complete cleaned up after themselves. It was the most stress free project I’ve ever been apart of. Looking forward to working with them again on another project."
"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
Walk-in showers aren’t necessarily better. It depends on your circumstances. On the one hand, they’re more accessible—especially for people who use a wheelchair. They also take up less space than bathtubs and are ideal for small bathrooms. On the other hand, some families may need a bathtub to bathe young children and pets.
The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you’re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a ½-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.
You can adjust the mixing valve on your shower if it uses a single handle to control both hot and cold water by removing the handle and adjusting the cap on the mixing valve. The cap fits over the valve handle and creates a low and high point for your handle to spin. Remove the cap and turn it to adjust how it mixes hot and cold water, and then replace the cap and reinstall the handle.
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)
Taking up less space and improving bathroom space flow
Making bathrooms look larger
Improving home safety by removing a major trip-and-fall hazard
Easing showering for those who benefit from more accessibility
Saving money on water bills
Common shower pan sizes are 30-by-30 inches and 42-by-32 inches, or you might want a contemporary, clean-lined 60-by-42-inch walk-in. When selecting the size and location of your custom shower, consider the other bathroom fittings, whether the shower door can open easily, and whether you’ll have to alter plumbing.
