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.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion Questions in Ottawa
Answers to common questions Ottawa homeowners ask before converting an existing bathtub into a walk-in shower.
What is included in a tub-to-shower conversion?
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.
Will I lose value if I remove my only bathtub?
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.
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
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.
Can the new shower be curbless or walk-in style?
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.
