Tub-to-Shower Conversion Services

Replace your old tub with a modern walk-in shower

A tub-to-shower conversion replaces an underused bathtub with a more usable walk-in shower. The change opens up the bathroom, improves daily comfort, and updates the look without a full renovation.

We plan the demolition, plumbing changes, waterproofing, drain location, tile, and glass so the finished walk-in shower looks clean and works correctly in your existing bathroom.

Open walk-in entry

Wider, easier entry where the tub used to sit, with optional curbless or low-profile thresholds.

Plumbing rebuilt

Drain relocation, valve replacement, and supply line updates done before any tile or finishing.

Waterproofed properly

Membranes, slope, and sealing details installed before tile so water stays where it should.

Clean tile and glass

Tile patterns, niches, benches, glass panels, and fixtures planned for a finished, modern look.

More space more comfort and a cleaner look

What goes into a tub-to-shower conversion

Demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tile and glass in one planned project

Converting a tub to a walk-in shower changes more than the tub itself. The drain, valves, supply lines, framing, waterproofing, tile, and glass all need to be planned and updated so the new shower works long term.

01
Plan the conversion

We review the existing tub, drain, plumbing, and bathroom layout, then plan the new shower size, entry, fixtures, glass, and tile.

02
Demo and rough-in

The tub is removed, the drain is relocated, and plumbing is updated. Walls and floor are prepared and waterproofed.

03
Tile, glass, and finish

Tile, fixtures, glass, trim, and finishing details are completed with attention to alignment, drainage, and a clean finished look.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion Questions in Ottawa

Answers to common questions Ottawa homeowners ask before converting an existing bathtub into a walk-in shower.

A conversion typically includes removing the existing tub, surround, and fixtures, updating plumbing and the drain location, waterproofing, installing the new shower (tile or surround), glass or enclosure, fixtures, and final finishing.

If your home has only one tub, that may matter for resale to families with young children. We can review your bathrooms together and discuss whether converting is the right call for your home.

Timing depends on demolition, plumbing changes, waterproofing, tile complexity, glass lead times, and finishing. A standard tub-to-shower conversion is usually faster than a full bathroom renovation.

Yes, in many cases. The structure under the floor, drain location, slope, and waterproofing all need to be reviewed first to confirm what is possible in your existing layout.
