Tub-to-shower conversions
The most requested job we do — trade a tub nobody uses for a shower you use every day.
- Drain relocated and floor re-sloped
- Niche, bench and glass panel
- Usually finished in about two weeks
A bathroom is the smallest room in the house and the least forgiving. Waterproofing done to spec, a floor sloped to the drain, tile set straight, and a fan that actually moves air — get those right and the finishes take care of themselves.
Nearly every bathroom we tear out failed the same way: water got behind the tile because the waterproofing was skipped or short-cut. We install a full waterproof membrane system, flood-test pans before tiling, and vent the exhaust fan outside the building rather than into the attic. It is not glamorous. It is why the work lasts.

Zero-threshold showers planned properly, not retrofitted after a fall.
Down to the studs and subfloor when the plumbing is original and the layout no longer works.
Membrane system behind every wet wall, pans flood-tested, tile laid out from a centre line.
Real storage sized to the room, with the plumbing rough-in set to match the vanity you actually chose.
Moisture leaves the room or it ends up in the ceiling. We size the fan and duct it outside.
Short schedules, but the sequence still matters — cure times are not negotiable.
We look at the existing plumbing, the subfloor, and how the room is vented, then talk budget before anyone picks a tile.
Line-item pricing with written allowances for tile, fixtures, glass and vanity, plus what is excluded.
Dated milestones for demolition, rough-in, inspection, waterproofing, tile, and finish — including which days the bathroom is unusable.
Priced and signed before work proceeds. In bathrooms the usual surprise is rotted subfloor or old cast-iron drain; you hear the day we find it.
One project lead by phone or text, plus an end-of-week update on progress and decisions we need from you.
Punch list closed on site, caulk lines checked, fixtures demonstrated, and workmanship warranted in writing.
A tub-to-shower conversion runs about two weeks. A full gut with new plumbing runs three to four. Tile and waterproofing have cure times we do not rush, and that is usually what sets the schedule.
Yes, and it is one of the most requested jobs we do. The drain moves, the floor is re-sloped, and the walls are waterproofed before any tile goes on. If you want a curbless entry we check the floor joists first to confirm the recess is possible.
We build curbless showers, install blocking in the walls for grab bars now or later, widen doorways where framing allows, and set comfort-height fixtures. Planning it during the remodel costs a fraction of retrofitting it afterwards.
Yes. We sequence the work to shorten the days without a working toilet and tell you those exact dates before demolition. We do not open up a single-bath house without a plan for it.
It comes down to whether fixtures move, how much tile is involved, and the condition of what is behind the walls. We walk the room and give you a free written line-item estimate rather than a number over the phone.
Four questions, about thirty seconds. We will call you back to set up a walkthrough and get you a written, line-item estimate — no pressure, no charge.
