Most North Dallas homes have a tub in the primary bath nobody uses. Converting it to a roomy walk-in shower is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make — adds resale value, opens the room visually, and removes a slip hazard.
What's involved
- Remove the existing tub, tile, valve, drain, and surround
- Re-frame the wall and inspect for rot or hidden leaks
- New shower drain (linear or center) plumbed to the existing waste line
- Pre-sloped pan + Schluter Kerdi or equivalent waterproof membrane
- New shower valve (single or dual handle) at the height you want
- Tile walls floor-to-ceiling with niche and optional bench
- Frameless glass enclosure (or low-profile sliding panel)
- New shower head, hand-held, and trim
- Final caulk, grout seal, walk-through
Timeline
A tub-to-shower conversion typically takes 7–10 working days from demo to glass — much faster than a full bath remodel because we're not moving the toilet, vanity, or layout.
Why it's worth it
- Aging-in-place: easier and safer to enter than stepping over a tub wall
- Saves square footage when paired with a smaller footprint
- Modern look adds resale appeal
- Lower water bill than a tub fill
