The Villages are some of the most valuable homes in Houston — custom builds and big remodels on wooded lots, where finish quality and a clean, respectful crew matter as much as the price. Many Villages homes have oversized master baths from the 1980s–90s, and replacing the tub with a custom tiled walk-in shower modernizes the whole room.
Most of us haven’t taken a bath in years, but we still climb over a 15-inch tub wall every morning. A tub-to-shower conversion replaces that old tub with a walk-in shower built to fit the same footprint — no moving walls, no gutting the bathroom, and no three-week remodel.
UES Solutions converts tubs to showers across the Memorial Villages and Spring Branch and nearby areas, including Hunters Creek Village, Bunker Hill Village, Piney Point Village. Because our crew already handles plumbing, tile, drywall, paint, and glass, we do the whole job ourselves — which means a tighter schedule, one point of contact, and a finished bathroom instead of a half-finished one waiting on a subcontractor.
Three ways to convert your tub
Acrylic Walk-In Shower
The fastest, most budget-friendly option. A seamless acrylic base and wall panels go in over new waterproofing, with a glass door or curtain. Easy to clean, no grout.
Custom Tile Shower
Porcelain or ceramic tile on a fully waterproofed pan, with a shampoo niche, bench, and the fixtures you choose. This is the option that changes how the whole bathroom feels.
Accessible / Aging-in-Place Shower
Low-threshold or fully curbless entry, non-slip flooring, a built-in bench, handheld head, and grab bars set into solid blocking. Safe today, and it still looks like a bathroom you’d choose.

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 the Memorial Villages and Spring Branch, 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.
Acrylic or tile — which should I choose?
Acrylic is faster, less expensive, and has no grout to maintain. Tile costs more and takes a couple of extra days, but it’s fully custom and adds more to resale. If you’re converting a hall bath, acrylic is usually the smart money. If it’s your primary bath, most homeowners go tile. We’ll show you both in your estimate.
Can you keep the same drain and plumbing location?
Usually, yes. A tub drain sits at one end; a shower drain is often centered, so we may recommend moving it a few feet for the best slope. If we do, it’s included in the quote and done by our crew — no separate plumber.
