Why Phoenix Homeowners Choose Us for Tub to Shower Conversions

Plumbing is the part of a tub conversion that most contractors handle incorrectly. Moving a drain looks straightforward from the outside. But if the slope is off or the connections are not sealed properly, water backs up under the floor. You will not discover the problem until the damage shows up in your subfloor months later.
Here is what makes our team the right choice for this work.

We Coordinate All Plumbing Correctly

We manage the plumbing portion of every conversion and work with licensed plumbers to handle all drain relocation and supply line work according to Arizona code. Every connection is made to Phoenix building standards. We pull permits before any plumbing work begins, which most tub to shower conversions require.

We Specialize in Low Threshold and ADA Builds

Many contractors can put in a basic shower. Fewer know how to build a true curbless shower or a roll-in ADA shower correctly. We have completed both types many times. We know how to slope the floor precisely, recess the drain cleanly, and keep the bathroom floor level at the entry point.

We Are Fully Licensed and Insured

We hold an active Arizona ROC contractor license, number [CLIENT: ROC LICENSE NUMBER]. We carry full general liability and workers compensation coverage. You are protected from the first day of demo through the final cleanup.

Our Written Price Does Not Change

You receive a full written estimate before we start. That is the price we charge. We do not adjust costs once the project is underway. Homeowners in Biltmore, Arcadia, and North Central Phoenix regularly choose us for second projects because the quoted price is always the final price.

We Serve the Entire Valley

We work in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Arcadia, Ahwatukee, Biltmore, Desert Ridge, Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, and Paradise Valley.

Low Threshold Shower Pans in Phoenix AZ

  • Getting in and out of a shower should never feel unsafe. A standard shower curb sits about four inches off the floor. That does not sound like much. But for older homeowners, people with joint pain, or anyone coming home from surgery, that four-inch step is a daily obstacle.
  • A low threshold shower pan brings that step down to one and a half inches or less. Some go all the way to zero. This means stepping into the shower takes much less effort. It also removes the biggest slip point in most bathrooms.
  • We install low threshold shower pans as part of every tub to shower conversion that calls for one. We also add them to existing showers that need to be made safer.

Types of Low Threshold Shower Pans We Install

We work with several floor types depending on your space and your needs.
  • The first option is a low profile shower base. This is a prefabricated pan with a threshold between one and two inches. It installs faster than a custom floor and works well in standard alcove or three-wall shower spaces. Most homeowners in Phoenix who want easier entry choose this option.
  • Next is a curbless shower floor. This floor has no raised lip at all. It is built directly into the bathroom floor and slopes gently toward the drain. This is the best option for wheelchair users and homeowners who want a fully open entry. It takes more construction time because the floor must be recessed and the slope must be built precisely.
  • Also available is a roll-in shower base. This is the ADA-standard option for wheelchair access. The pan is wide, flat, and completely barrier-free from the bathroom floor into the shower. We build these for senior homeowners and for families supporting someone with a mobility challenge.
This means that no matter what your situation is, there is a low threshold option that fits your bathroom and your life.

Why Low Threshold Pans Matter in Phoenix Bathrooms

  • Phoenix homes tend to have larger master bathrooms with real room to work in. This makes a low threshold or curbless build very practical. You do not have to fit it into a tight or awkward space.
  • Also, Phoenix has one of the largest senior populations in the country. Many homeowners in Ahwatukee, Sun City, Peoria, and Glendale want safer bathroom options that do not look like a medical setup. A well-built low threshold shower looks modern and clean. It feels like a design choice, not a compromise.
  • Next, rental property owners in Chandler, Gilbert, and Tempe are choosing low threshold conversions because they work for more tenants. Older renters, families with small children, and tenants with any mobility limitation all prefer a low step or no step at all. That makes the unit easier to rent and hold.
  • We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and families across Greater Phoenix who need a safe shower solution that also looks great.
  • Also see our senior bathroom remodeling services for more accessibility options including grab bars, non-slip tile, and ADA-compliant walk-in showers.

How a Tub to Shower Conversion Works in Phoenix

A tub to shower conversion involves more than swapping one fixture for another. The plumbing changes, the floor structure changes, and the wall surfaces change. Every step has to happen in the right order or problems show up later.

01

Remove the Old Bathtub

We shut off the water and disconnect the plumbing supply lines and drain. Then we remove the tub. Alcove tubs come out in sections. Freestanding tubs lift out whole. We also remove the surrounding tile or wall panel and check the framing behind it for any moisture damage before we move forward.

02

Coordinate the Plumbing and Drain Relocation

This is where many conversions fail. A bathtub drain differs from a shower drain, so we handle drain relocation with licensed plumbers for the new layout. We adjust water lines and valves for the showerhead and handheld spray. All work follows Phoenix codes, with permits secured before starting.

03

Prep the Floor and Walls

Next, we prep the subfloor for the new shower pan. This includes leveling, setting the correct slope toward the drain, and installing a Waterproof Membrane. We also install Cement Backer Board on all shower walls before any tile or surround material goes up. This step is what keeps moisture out of your wall framing for the life of the shower.

04

Set the Shower Pan

After the floor is prepped, we set the shower pan in place. For low threshold and curbless options, this step includes recessing the floor and building the slope into the mortar or concrete bed so the entry point and the bathroom floor meet at the same level.

05

Tile, Glass, and Final Finish

Finally, we install the wall tile, grout every joint, and seal the surface. We hang the shower door or glass panel, install the showerhead, and add any accessories you requested, like a bench seat or built-in niche shelf. We do a full walkthrough with you and clean the space completely before we leave.

Most tub to shower conversions in Phoenix take three to seven days. Jobs with curbless floors or detailed custom tile work take a bit longer.

Tub to Shower Conversion Questions Phoenix Homeowners Ask

How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Phoenix AZ?
Most tub to shower conversions in Phoenix range from $3,000 to $12,000 or more. A basic conversion with a prefabricated shower base costs less. A custom tile build with a curbless floor and glass enclosure costs more. ADA-compliant barrier-free showers typically start around $8,000 because of the extra floor recessing and slope work involved. We give you a written quote after we see your bathroom. See our conversion process section above to understand what that price covers.

Yes. We manage the full plumbing portion of every conversion and coordinate with licensed plumbers for all drain relocation and supply line work according to Arizona code. All work follows Phoenix building code requirements. We pull the required permits before any plumbing work begins. See our conversion process section for exactly how that step works.
A low threshold shower pan has a step of one and a half inches or less. Some have no threshold at all. These are the best option for seniors, homeowners with joint or mobility limitations, and anyone who wants a safer, easier entry into the shower. Many homeowners in Phoenix also choose them simply because they look cleaner and more modern than a standard four-inch curb. See our low threshold shower pans section above for the three types we install.
Most bathtubs can be converted. Alcove tubs are the most straightforward. Freestanding and drop-in tubs take more demo work but can still be converted. The limiting factor is usually the existing drain position and the floor structure underneath. We check both during your free in-home visit before quoting the job.
Yes. Arizona law requires permits for plumbing and structural changes in residential remodels. Drain relocation and supply line changes both qualify as permitted work. We pull the required permits before work starts. We hold an active Arizona ROC license and operate within all Phoenix building codes.
