"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
Labor is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel. If you’re doing a major remodel, structural changes (such as moving walls) and plumbing reconfiguration can be costly. For a standard remodel, the big-ticket items include tiles and new tub or shower fixtures.
The answer is mixed when it comes to whether you can expect your home warranty to cover a shower pan leak. While a home warranty is designed to cover costs for the repair or replacement of appliances and major home systems, most plans don't cover water damage. However, plumbing may be covered. When looking at home warranty versus home insurance, it's helpful to know that most homeowners insurance policies do cover sudden and accidental water damage originating from inside the house.
A shower pan's lifespan can range from 10 to 45 years, depending on the material. As a preventative measure, it's recommended to replace your shower pan every 10 to 15 years to avoid degradation, water leaks, and mold problems. A pan's lifespan can be shortened by incorrect installation, but proper cleaning can help extend it. You should replace your shower pan immediately if you notice clear signs of failure, such as visible cracks, water spilling onto the bathroom floor, moisture stains on adjacent walls or the ceiling below, or any movement, buckling, or warping in the pan when you step on it.
Time to reinvent your morning routine? Start your shower remodeling process by researching shower installers and fitters in your area. These pros can handle everything from sourcing materials to making sure your installation is sealed properly. Once you find the right team:
Determine your budget
Discuss the extent of your remodel with your contractor

Technically, yes, you can put a shower on a Roman tub, but it's not common. The vast majority of Roman tubs are standalone models. Adding a shower would involve installing a ceiling-mounted curtain rod or a custom glass enclosure, as well as redoing the plumbing, making it neither easy nor budget-friendly.
