"Bath Conversion owner Kevin visited me and listened patiently what I wanted. I wanted to replace the bathtub for the soaked one and add to the shower. Total cost was fair. Once he had a tub, he contacted me then they worked so hard, had almost done in one day. The second day was just finishing and took less than one hour. They cleaned everything. They were very friendly and very professional. I strongly recommend this company to others. Thank you, Kevin."

"I reached out to Johnson & Sons and several other contractors to discuss the possibility of opening up and completely remodeling my kitchen and bathrooms, with the addition of a shower to the former half bath off the master suite. After receiving bids and meeting with each contractor, I went with Johnson & Sons due to the transparency and consideration Vic Johnson showed when discussing the project and its challenges, as well as providing a detailed quote. Because this remodel involved the removal of walls, tiling of the kitchen/bathrooms, potential size constraints, and a re-plumbing of the house, It was very important for me that things be done correctly, to code and with permits. Once demo and construction started, things proceeded at a brisk pace with minimal lag between subcontractors, and inspections. Their tile guy, Tony was great to work with and very helpful with making the appropriate detail selections around the showers. We did have a long wait for a cosmetic piece of cabinet siding, which ended up being the final part needed to complete the project. Vic was direct with me about the issue and the delay. Such a minor issue is in my opinion, very small potatoes compared to having quality work done. Ultimately, Johnson & Sons came in slightly under their contract price - a very pleasant and welcome surprise."

We were very satisfied with the process. We were always in the know. We have done renovations In the past with contractors and we were always not pleased with not knowing the schedule. We finally found someone we can trust and will definitely be using him again. Thank you again Ben it was a pleasure meeting you and working with you."

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a shower base depends on how often the shower is used, how it’s used, and how well it’s maintained. Acrylic and fiberglass shower bases last 10 to 15 years, while tile shower bases can last up to 20 years. However, if two people often use the shower at once or if heavy items are regularly dropped in the shower, the shower base’s lifespan might be shorter than average.

The amount of space needed depends on the size of the shower. For the standard 32-by-32-inch walk-in shower, you’ll need about 50 square inches. The International Residential Code requires a minimum of 24 inches of space in front of a walk-in shower’s entrance. That said, the National Kitchen & Bath Association recommends 30 inches of clearance, which is a bit more comfortable for most people. 

Ideally, you’ll have enough room to open your doors and cabinets without interfering with your shower. This may not be possible in a smaller bathroom.

If there are no issues with the plumbing in your house or with the city’s water lines, then it may be possible for you to increase water pressure in your shower by cleaning or replacing your showerhead. For the latter, you should look for high-pressure showerheads with a flow rate as close to the maximum available, which is 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM).

When choosing between fiberglass and acrylic for a shower, your budget and preferences are key factors. Fiberglass is generally more affordable and lightweight, but it may be more prone to scratches, dullness, and cracking over time. Acrylic is more durable, flexible, and scratch-resistant, and it tends to retain its shine longer. While slightly more expensive, acrylic is available in a wider variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and finishes. It is also generally easier to repair if damaged. For shower bases specifically, acrylic is less likely to crack than fiberglass, but as long as either type is installed and supported correctly, it should not chip or crack prematurely.

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.
