UES Solutions converts bathtubs to walk-in showers in Tomball, TX in 2–5 days.

Tomball is where longtime residents in Old Town and along the older streets off 2920 live a few miles from brand-new master-planned communities. The bathrooms reflect it — some are 40-year-old tubs with tile that’s been re-grouted three times, and some are five-year-old builder tubs the owners have never once filled. Either way, a walk-in shower is a better use of the space.
UES Solutions serves Tomball and northwest Harris County from our base in Montgomery County. We’re veteran-owned, licensed and insured, and rated 4.9 stars by more than 76 Google reviewers. On a conversion, our crew does everything — demo, plumbing, shower pan and waterproofing, tile or acrylic, glass, trim, and paint — so the job moves in a straight line instead of stalling between trades. Growing families who need a faster morning routine, multigenerational households who need a safer bathroom for a parent, and homeowners getting ready to sell all call us for the same reason: it gets done right, and it gets done in days.

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.
We have young kids. Should we keep a tub somewhere?
If you have a second bathroom with a tub, converting the primary is an easy call. If the tub you want to convert is the only one in the house and your kids are still small, we’ll talk it through — some families keep one tub for a few more years, and some install a walk-in with a handheld head and a removable baby tub and never look back. We’ll give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Can you convert a tub in a small hall bath?
Yes — that’s actually the most common conversion. A standard 60″ x 30″ or 60″ x 32″ tub alcove becomes a 60″ walk-in shower with no change to the room’s footprint. Sliding glass or a curtain keeps the door swing out of the way.
