Tub-to-shower conversions
A walk-in shower in the old tub space is one of the most practical bathroom upgrades — easier to step into, easier to clean, and roomier without moving a single wall.
A standard alcove tub is about 150 cm long, which is a generous shower once the tub walls are gone. We remove the tub, check the drain location and subfloor, then build a properly sloped shower floor with a waterproof membrane before tiling.
Most conversions add a recessed niche for bottles and a fixed glass panel or door, and many add a bench or a hand shower on a slide bar.
A low curb or curbless entry is safer for anyone with sore knees, small kids or aging parents.
Without the tub, you get full standing room and space for a rain head.
Old tub flanges and caulk lines are a common leak point; a tiled shower with a membrane removes that weak spot.
How it works
How you use the room, what bothers you about it, and what has to stay where it is.
Tile, vanity, valve, glass and lighting chosen and checked against the measurements.
The room opened up, framing corrected, plumbing and venting set for the new layout.
A continuous membrane over every wet surface, then tile set flat and true.
Vanity, toilet, trim, glass, paint and accessories — then a final walkthrough.

Usually less than a full remodel, because the rest of the room often stays. Expect roughly one to two weeks of work on site, plus time for custom glass, which is measured after tiling.
In many homes a good walk-in shower is a selling point, especially in an ensuite. If it is the only tub in the house, consider keeping one elsewhere. We are happy to talk it through.
Yes. Benches are built in during framing and waterproofed with the rest of the shower. Grab bars need solid blocking behind the tile, which we add while the wall is open.
