What Tacoma Customers Say
"The old galvanized pipes in our Tacoma house were a mess. They replaced everything with PEX during the tub to shower conversion and now our water pressure is incredible. Two problems fixed with one project."
"Small master bath in our Tacoma condo — they maximized every inch with floating vanity, recessed medicine cabinet, and a corner shower. It feels like a completely different room now."
"After getting quotes from 5 different contractors in Tacoma, these guys were the most detailed in their proposal. They actually measured everything twice and the final price matched the estimate exactly."
"We have a 1970s split-level in Tacoma and the tub to shower conversion presented some real challenges with the existing plumbing. They figured out creative solutions and the result is beautiful."
Tub to Shower Conversion FAQ
Common questions about tub to shower conversion in Tacoma
Can you make it a curbless shower?
Yes — curbless (zero-threshold) showers are one of our specialties. They require a linear drain and careful floor slope work, which adds $500-$1,500 to the project, but the result is beautiful and fully accessible.
Will removing the tub hurt my home value?
In Tacoma, the general rule is to keep at least one bathtub in the home (usually in the main or kids' bathroom). Converting a second or third bathroom tub to a shower almost always increases value. We help you decide which tub to keep.
What happens to the drain when you convert?
We relocate the drain from tub position (center or end) to the shower position you choose. This involves cutting into the subfloor to reroute the drain pipe. It is standard work for our licensed plumbers.
