"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."
"Blanton may be expensive but they prove their worth by having Expert and Professional Technicians and Customer Service! UPDATE: 03/03/19 *** Install, Replace or Repair a Main Sewer Pipe *** Comment: My 49-year-old house was in dire need of a total replumbing and removal of the very old cast iron pipe that was draining very slow. Blantons plumber, Charlie, made a thorough inspection, came up with an acceptable plan and additional recommendations that needed to be done (which I was not able to see and evaluate), did not include unnecessary work or parts. Of course Blantons is more expensive than most companies but they are worth EVERY dollar spent! THANK YOU!!! UPDATE: 03/15/19 *** Waterproof a Basement or Foundation *** Comment: Shawn and his assistant repaired my encapsulation after a plumbing project was completed. They repaired all cuts to the encapsulation, took time to remove pipes and supports that were no longer needed, and even vacuumed to ensure my crawl space was as clean as it was before the plumbing job. THANK YOU!!"
"Was very dedicated and thoughtful. My mom benefited so much from lowering a partition and replacing the frames in what used to be a sliding door. Excellent service."

"Had both bathrooms remodeled by taking one piece shower and tub out and replacing with tile showers with glass doors. In one of the bathrooms, I also had the vanity and linoleum floor replaced with a new vanity with marble top, and laminate vinyl flooring. Billy did an excellent job on all of it and what I really like is that he only works on your project at one time so he doesn't leave you hanging two or three days while he goes off to work on someone else's job. I would hire him again."
"Kurt built a new deck for my family. He did a beautiful job, he pays attention to detail and even made a few changes I wanted to the gate. He’s courteous and he came when he said he would. I was very happy with his work and highly recommend him. Two thumbs up!!"
"Sherry and her crew were amazing! They listened to what we wanted done each step of the way! They provided amazing insight into design choices and work was done exactly as we desired! I'd hire them in a heartbeat for any and all remodels!"
"Since I had my entire bathroom done, i.e., new ceiling, floor, paint, vanity, toilet and above toilet cabinet and tub/shower converted to walk in shower, Lillian was extremely helpful in eliminating the stress of bringing this all together. The shower is beautiful as is everything else. We will be doing my husband's bathroom next year and plan on using Luxury Bath & Kitchens at that time as well. I highly recommend them."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
If you have an alcove in your bathroom, you don’t necessarily need to install an alcove tub. You can choose a drop-in tub and fit the frame to the alcove. This allows you to get a more custom or spa-like look. Think cultured marble or tiling for the frame versus the simpler look of acrylic or fiberglass with an alcove tub.
Medicare does not typically cover the cost of a walk-in shower. The federal health insurance program considers a walk-in shower to be a home alteration rather than a medical necessity, even though walk-in showers would assist many people who are eligible for Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicaid are more likely to cover the cost of a walk-in shower. It’s not a guarantee, even with a letter from a physician, and if reimbursement is authorized, it usually comes after the individual pays the upfront installation fee.
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.
Most of the time, Medicare will not pay for a roll-in shower because it isn’t considered medically necessary. However, a doctor’s recommendation and other medical evidence may qualify you for reimbursement. If you need a roll-in shower for medical reasons, you will likely need to pay up front for installation and then apply for reimbursement.
Shower arms come in a standard size with ½-inch NPT, but designs vary. The height of the water supply pipe and the showerhead height you want affect the type of shower arm you should choose. For example, a water outlet that’s located close to the ceiling would be suitable for a standard shower arm (small extension with a slight downward angle) or a straight arm model. Outlets situated lower in the shower allow for gooseneck shower arms, which can raise the showerhead's height.
