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.
I’m converting for safety reasons. What should I ask for?
Four things make the biggest difference: a low or zero-threshold entry so there’s nothing to step over, a bench so you can sit, a handheld shower head on a slide bar, and grab bars anchored into solid blocking (not just drywall). Non-slip floor tile and a lever-style valve handle round it out. None of it has to look “medical” — we’ll show you options that look like a normal, updated bathroom.
Will a shower conversion work in a manufactured or older lake home?
In most cases, yes. We check the subfloor and framing during the estimate; if anything needs reinforcing under the new pan, we’ll include it in the written quote. We’ve converted tubs in everything from 1970s lake cabins to brand-new builds in The Woodlands Hills.
