"From beginning to end, Araceli H., Edwin E., Evan J., and Sylvain (Sly) L. made my tub to shower conversion painless.

I love my new walk-in shower and highly recommend West Shore Home!"
"We called Bath Fitters of Utah after getting quotes from several other places. The price was 40% less than the others, and the materials are excellent. John and Brayden showed up on time notwithstanding a big snow fall, then worked steady all day to remove our old tub, install the new tub and shower, clean up and leave everything perfect. They were great to work with, and we will absolutely recommend them to friends and family. John and Nancy, Millcreek"

"We had them come and give us a quote to put a bath fitter in a compact shower. To be fair, we also asked them to raise the ceiling height to match the rest of the bathroom as the shower had a drop ceiling which I expected to cost a little more. The lady who came was extremely professional, timely, and well organized. I will say I was a tad shocked though when the quote was a little over $7800. We ended up going with a different contractor who redid the shower with tile and redid another bathroom floor for over $1000 less than the bath fitter quote for the shower alone. I would say this company would be a better fit for a more basic job. They did have really nice, stylish design options for this type of shower."
"The job went exceedingly well. Excellent professionalism and courtesy with an array of knowledge. I would recommend this company to anyone who would like to get work done the right way."
"Prime plumbing repaired my dishwasher. It was amazing, if you have ever had a dishwasher clear your house with the awful smellâ  you would call a plumber yesterday. I did and Jayden was right there and fixed the problem. He was honest and professional. Would definitely recommend to others."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
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.
Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.
Curbless walk-in showers are considered the best shower option for older adults because they are easier to step into and have room for a bench inside. Users often have room to roll a walker or wheelchair into the stall. Be sure to install a handheld showerhead so the user can rinse off easily without needing to move their body to the shower stream.
The most cost-effective method of building a shower involves using a prefabricated shower kit, which can be found at most home improvement stores. These kits include preformed shower bases, wall panels, and doors, reducing labor and material costs. You’ll most likely need to hire a local shower installer to make sure it’s installed properly, but it will be less expensive than designing and installing a custom shower.
Bathtub and shower liners come in different colors, so make sure you select one to match the rest of the bathroom. Hire a local bath liner installer for the job since they have the expertise, tools, and materials to install it correctly. Request at least three quotes from various contractors and compare their rates and services.
