Lynchburg Area's Efficient Tub-to-Shower Conversions
A tub-to-shower conversion is the specific process of removing a bathtub to replace it with a dedicated shower enclosure. We deliver this popular upgrade for homeowners across the Lynchburg area who no longer use their tub and prefer the space and convenience of a modern shower. Key benefits include maximizing usable space, improving safety with a lower threshold, and updating the bathroom's overall look. To learn more, contact us for a free estimate.

How Our Tub-to-Shower Conversion Process Works
Initial Assessment & Design Planning
Our team begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your existing bathroom setup, measuring dimensions and assessing plumbing configurations. We examine the current tub location, surrounding tile work, and structural considerations to develop a detailed conversion plan tailored to your space and preferences.
- • Measure existing tub area and assess available space for shower configuration
- • Evaluate current plumbing layout and determine any necessary relocations
- • Review material options including acrylic systems, tile designs, and fixture choices
- • Create detailed project timeline and coordinate material delivery schedule
Tub Removal & Plumbing Modifications
We carefully disconnect and remove your existing bathtub, surrounding tile, and outdated fixtures using specialized tools to minimize mess. Our plumbers then modify the existing plumbing lines, relocating valves and adjusting drain positions to accommodate the new shower configuration while ensuring optimal water flow and drainage.
- • Disconnect plumbing lines and carefully extract bathtub using proper lifting equipment
- • Remove existing tile and wall surfaces with dust containment measures in place
- • Relocate shower valve to appropriate height and install new drain assembly
- • Upgrade plumbing lines as needed to support new shower system requirements
Shower Installation & Waterproofing
We install the new shower base with proper sloping for drainage, then construct waterproof walls using either acrylic panels or cement board for tile applications. Our team applies multiple layers of waterproof membrane and sealants, ensuring long-term protection against water infiltration and structural damage.
- • Set shower base with precise leveling and connect to drain assembly securely
- • Install cement board or direct-mount acrylic wall systems with proper fastening
- • Apply waterproof membrane and seal all seams using professional-grade materials
- • Install tile work with proper spacing and grout application for custom designs
Fixture Installation & System Testing
We install all shower fixtures including faucets, showerheads, and glass enclosures using precise measurements and professional mounting techniques. Each component is connected to the plumbing system and thoroughly tested for proper operation, water pressure, and leak-free performance before final approval.
- • Mount shower valve, faucet handles, and showerhead at optimal heights and angles
- • Install glass doors or curtain rods with proper alignment and secure mounting
- • Test all water connections for leaks and verify proper drainage flow rates
- • Check water temperature mixing and pressure performance across all settings
Final Completion & Project Walkthrough
We complete the conversion with thorough cleanup of all work areas, removing construction debris and protecting your home's surfaces throughout the process. Our final walkthrough includes demonstrating proper shower operation, reviewing maintenance requirements, and providing warranty documentation for your new installation.
- • Complete comprehensive cleanup of all construction areas and debris removal
- • Conduct detailed walkthrough demonstrating shower controls and operation
- • Provide maintenance instructions and care recommendations for longevity
- • Document warranty coverage and schedule any necessary follow-up services
