Trade the Tub You Never Use for the Shower You Will Love
That shallow builder-grade tub collects dust while you shower standing in it anyway. As a core part of our bathroom remodeling service, we remove the old tub, reconfigure the plumbing, and build a beautiful walk-in shower with new tile, glass, and fixtures — usually in just one to two weeks. Safer, roomier, easier to clean, and a smart resale move. Call (404) 232-3742 for a free estimate, any time.
Walk through almost any Atlanta home built between 1960 and 2010 — the brick ranches of Brookhaven, the split-levels of Sandy Springs, the two-stories of East Cobb — and you will find the same thing: a 60-inch alcove tub that nobody has bathed in for years. It eats five square feet of bathroom, its high wall is a daily hurdle, and its caulked seams are a mold magnet in Georgia humidity. A bathtub to shower conversion reclaims that space for something you will use every single day.
The transformation is dramatic. We demolish and haul away the old tub and surround, reconfigure the drain and water lines for a shower layout, and build a proper shower from the studs out: waterproofed pan and walls, new valve and fixtures, designer tile, and a glass door or open entry. Where a bulky tub once dominated, you get an open, light-filled shower that makes the whole bathroom feel larger.
Safety is the reason many Atlanta families finally make the call. Climbing over a tub wall is the number-one bathroom fall risk for seniors — and with so many multigenerational households in neighborhoods like Dunwoody, Marietta, and Roswell, the concern is real. A low-threshold or curbless shower with a bench, grab bars, and a handheld wand eliminates the hazard while looking like a high-end design choice.
There is a resale angle too. Atlanta buyers overwhelmingly prefer a great shower to a mediocre tub in the hall or secondary bath — and in master suites, real estate agents tell us a luxurious walk-in shower photographs and shows far better than an oversized garden tub. The one exception: if it is your home's only tub and you may sell to young families, we will talk through keeping a tub in a second bathroom.
Most conversions finish in one to two weeks, and because the footprint stays roughly the same, costs stay predictable. You will get the full plan, the exact price, and the schedule in writing before demolition begins — then enjoy a shower that finally fits your life.

Why Atlanta Homeowners Convert Tubs to Showers
The practical payoffs our clients report after ditching the tub.
- Reclaim wasted square footage
A 60-inch tub monopolizes the room. A walk-in shower in the same footprint feels open and gives the whole bathroom breathing room. - Eliminate the biggest fall hazard
No more climbing over a slick tub wall. A low-threshold entry is dramatically safer for seniors, kids, and anyone with knee or hip issues. - Cut cleaning time in half
No tub ring, no acres of caulk, no sliding door tracks. Large-format tile and frameless glass wipe clean in minutes. - Save water every day
Showers use far less water than baths. In a city where water rates keep climbing, the savings add up year after year. - Modernize a dated bathroom fast
Nothing dates a bathroom like a stained fiberglass tub. A conversion is the highest-impact single change you can make. - Boost buyer appeal
In Atlanta's market, a beautiful walk-in shower in place of an unused tub is a feature buyers notice — and pay for.
Our Tub-to-Shower Conversion Process
Tub out, shower in — here is exactly how the one-to-two-week transformation happens.
Assess & Design
We inspect your tub, check drain and supply access, and design the new shower's size, entry, glass, and fixtures around your space and needs.
Selections & Price
Choose tile, glass, and fixtures from samples. You receive an itemized written quote and a firm 1–2 week schedule.
Plumbing Plan
We pull permits for the drain and valve changes, protect your home, and stage materials so demo day moves fast.
Demo to Tile
Tub and surround removed, plumbing reconfigured, shower waterproofed and tiled, fixtures set, glass measured and installed.
Test & Walkthrough
Every valve pressure-tested, pan flood-checked, glass sealed, and a detailed walkthrough with you before final sign-off.
Your Tub-to-Shower Conversion Choices
Sizes, entries, tile, and glass — how we tailor the new shower to your bathroom.
Every tub-to-shower conversion starts from the same 60-inch alcove (or corner, for garden tubs), but what we build inside it is entirely up to you. Atlanta bathrooms vary wildly — a 1970s ranch hall bath versus a 2000s master suite need different solutions — so we design around your space, your mobility needs, and your budget.
Shower size and layout
Most conversions use the tub's existing 60-by-30-inch footprint, which keeps plumbing costs down. Where space allows, we can widen into adjacent dead space — common in master baths with oversized garden tubs — for a truly generous shower. Corner and neo-angle layouts work well in tight powder-adjacent baths.
Entry styles
Low-threshold entries (a 2-to-4-inch curb) suit most homes and contain water reliably. True curbless entries are possible where we can recess the drain — ideal for wheelchair access and aging in place. We will recommend the right approach for your subfloor and slab conditions.
Tile and wall finishes
Large-format porcelain keeps grout lines minimal and cleaning easy; handmade-look subway tile adds charm to older Atlanta homes; accent mosaics and niches add personality. All tile goes over a full waterproofing system — the non-negotiable foundation in Georgia's climate.
Glass and fixtures
Frameless sliding or hinged doors fit the classic alcove; fixed glass panels create an open wet-room feel. Pair with a rainfall head, handheld wand, bench, and designer grab bars. Thermostatic valves are worth the upgrade for precise temperature control.
Bathtub to Shower Conversion Cost in Atlanta
2026 Atlanta pricing for tub-to-shower projects — the fastest major bathroom upgrade.
Tub removed, new shower pan, acrylic or fiberglass wall surround, new valve and fixtures, and a framed glass door. Clean, modern, and fast.
Our most popular: waterproofed custom pan, full designer tile, niche, bench, rainfall + handheld fixtures, and frameless glass.
Curbless entry, linear drain, premium stone tile, body sprays or steam, teak bench, and 1/2" frameless glass — spa meets accessibility.
Cost hinges on tile choice, glass size and style, fixture brands, and whether the drain must move (garden-tub corners often require it). If your home has galvanized or polybutylene supply lines — common in Atlanta homes from the 70s through the 90s — we strongly recommend replacing them while walls are open; we will show you exactly what is back there during the consultation. Permits and inspections for the plumbing changes are included in our quote.
