Tub to Shower Conversion in Conroe, TX
Tub to shower conversion for Conroe and Lake Conroe, TX — swap the old tub for a walk-in shower, installed in 2–5 days by a crew that lives here.
UES Solutions converts bathtubs to walk-in showers throughout Conroe and Lake Conroe, TX in 2–5 days. Acrylic conversions start at $6,495 and tiled showers at $8,995, including tub removal, new waterproofing, and plumbing. One licensed, veteran-owned crew does the entire job, backed by a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty.
Conroe has a little of everything: 1960s and ’70s ranch homes near downtown and the historic district, 1980s and ’90s neighborhoods off Longmire and League Line, and newer construction pushing north and west toward the lake. The bathrooms range from cast-iron tubs with original tile to builder-grade fiberglass combos — and almost all of them would work better as a walk-in shower.
UES Solutions converts tubs to showers throughout Conroe and the Lake Conroe area. We’re a veteran-owned Montgomery County company, not a franchise, and our crew handles the entire job in-house: demo and haul-off, plumbing, waterproofing, tile or acrylic, glass, and paint. That means you’re not coordinating a plumber, a tile guy, and a glass company — you’re dealing with one crew and one schedule. For lake homes that see weekend guests, or for longtime Conroe residents who want a safer bathroom to stay in their home, we’ll build a shower that fits how you actually live.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
Most conversions are finished in 2–5 days. Acrylic surrounds are the fastest; fully tiled showers take a little longer because the waterproofing and mortar need to cure between steps. We’ll give you a firm schedule in your quote.
How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost?
Our conversions start at $6,495 for an acrylic walk-in shower. Standard tiled showers run $8,995–$10,500, and upgraded custom tile showers with built-in niches, a bench, and grab bars run $11,000–$14,000+. The biggest cost drivers are the surround (acrylic vs. tile), the glass (curtain rod vs. frameless door), and whether the drain or valve needs to move. Your estimate is free, written, and itemized so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Will removing my only tub hurt my home’s value?
Buyers today generally prefer a walk-in shower in the primary bath. If the tub you’re converting is the only one in the house and you have young kids or plan to sell to a family, we’ll talk it through honestly — we’d rather you keep a tub in a hall bath than regret the change.
Do I need a permit?
Swapping a tub for a shower in the same location usually doesn’t require a permit in Montgomery County, but moving plumbing or electrical can. We’ll tell you up front if your project needs one and handle it if it does.
Can you make it accessible for aging in place?
Yes. Low-threshold or curbless entry, a built-in or fold-down bench, a handheld shower head, non-slip floor tile, and grab bars mounted into solid blocking are all standard options. Many of our conversions are for homeowners who want to stay in their home safely for years to come.
Do you do the plumbing yourselves?
Yes. Valve replacement, drain relocation, and supply line work are done by our crew, so there’s no scheduling gap between demo and tile.
Is the work under warranty?
Yes. Every conversion is covered by the UES Solutions 1-Year Workmanship Warranty, in addition to the manufacturer warranties on the acrylic, tile, glass, and fixtures we install. If something we built isn’t right, we come back and fix it.
My Conroe home is older — what if you find damage behind the tub?
It’s common in homes from the ’60s through the ’80s to find soft drywall, rotted studs, or old mortar-bed tile behind the tub surround. We price the visible work up front and give you a clear per-item cost for any repair we find during demo before we do it — no surprise invoice. Fixing it properly is the whole point of the new waterproofing.
We’re only at our lake house on weekends. Can you work while we’re away?
Yes. Many of our Lake Conroe conversions are done during the week while the owners are in Houston. We’ll coordinate access, send photo updates each day, and schedule the final walkthrough for when you’re back.
