Many Hendersonville homes still have the original tub-and-shower combination. If you rarely take baths, converting the tub to a walk-in shower can make daily routines easier and safer.
Our conversion process
- Remove the tub and surround
- Inspect and repair the subfloor and framing
- Update the drain and valve
- Install a new base or tile floor with waterproofing
- Finish walls in tile or panels
- Add glass, fixtures and safety features
Why homeowners convert
- No more stepping over a high tub wall
- A larger, more comfortable shower
- Easier cleaning
- A cleaner, more modern look
Thinking about resale
If you have another tub in the house, converting one is usually an easy choice. We're happy to talk through it during your estimate.
Common finds in older Hendersonville homes
When we remove an original tub in an older Hendersonville home, we sometimes find worn subfloor around the drain, old galvanized plumbing or framing that has been weakened by years of small leaks. These issues are much easier to fix during a conversion than later. We'll show you anything we find and explain the repair before moving forward, so there are no surprises.
Safety built in
A conversion is a great time to add grab bars, a bench and a handheld shower, all features that make showering easier for every age.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions: common questions
What if there's damage under my old tub?
It's fairly common. We repair any damage before installing your new shower.
Can you add a seat and grab bars?
Yes. Both are easy to add during a conversion.
Will my new shower match my existing bathroom?
We'll help you choose tile and fixtures that work with the rest of your bathroom, or coordinate a few updates so everything looks cohesive.
