Walk-In Shower Conversion
Walk-In Shower Conversion
in Conroe, TX
Many Conroe homes still have the original tub or the large garden tub that nobody uses. We take it out and build a tiled walk-in shower in its place: built pan, waterproofed walls, a low curb or curbless entry, niche and glass, usually in five to eight working days.
What a walk-in shower conversion in Conroe includes
Only the tub area changes; the rest of the bathroom stays. That keeps the job short, and it is why the waterproofing has to be right the first time.
Shower drain and valve
The tub drain is changed for a shower drain and the valve is set at shower height. Licensed plumbing work is coordinated under the same contract.
Built pan and membrane
A sloped shower pan and a continuous waterproofing membrane on the pan and walls, then 24 hours with the pan full of water before any tile.
Tile, niche, curb and glass
Wall and floor tile in your layout, a recessed niche, a low curb or curbless entry, and frameless or semi-frameless glass.
Our walk-in shower in Conroe

Popular choices in Conroe bathrooms
The choices we see most in Conroe and around Lake Conroe, and what each one changes.
Replacing the garden tub
In many primary bathrooms the large corner or garden tub becomes a roomy walk-in shower with a bench, and the bathroom gains floor space.
Step-free entry
A curbless or very low curb shower for parents, guests or aging in place, with blocking behind the wall for grab bars.
Handheld plus rain head
A rain shower head with a handheld sprayer on a slide bar, like our Conroe shower: easier for cleaning and for sitting on a bench.
Mosaic floor, large wall tile
Large porcelain on the walls for fewer grout lines, and a small mosaic on the floor for grip.

Questions homeowners ask
How long does a walk-in shower conversion take in Conroe?
Five to eight working days for a typical bathroom, including the 24-hour flood test. We confirm the dates in writing before demolition.
Can you replace a garden tub with a walk-in shower?
Yes. In many primary bathrooms the garden tub area becomes a larger walk-in shower with a bench and glass. We check the drain location and the floor at the estimate.
Do you build curbless showers in Conroe?
Yes, when the floor allows it. A curbless shower needs the floor recessed or the slope built into the pan, often with a linear drain; we confirm it on site.

Yes. We visit, measure and give you a written proposal with a fixed price.
Do you also work around Lake Conroe and in Willis?
