Tub to Shower Conversion in Virginia Beach Va
Convert your existing bathtub. You can have a walk-in shower in just one day without a full remodel
Our bathtub cut-to-shower conversion is a faster, more affordable way to make an existing bathtub easier to use as a shower without removing and replacing the entire bathtub.
Instead of tearing out the existing tub, we cut out a section of the bathtub wall and create a lower, step-through opening. This allows you to walk into the shower area without having to lift your leg over the full height of the original bathtub.
The conversion can be performed on fiberglass, steel, and cast iron bathtubs, depending on the condition and construction of the tub. Because the existing bathtub remains in place, there is typically far less demolition, mess, and construction than with a complete tub-to-shower remodel.
For homeowners in Virginia Beach and throughout Hampton Roads, a bathtub cut-to-shower conversion can be an excellent option for aging in place, improving accessibility, or simply making an everyday shower easier to enter and exit—often without the time and expense of completely remodeling the bathroom.
How does your Bathtub Cut to Shower process work?
1. Evaluate Your Existing Bathtub
We start by looking at your existing bathtub and determining whether it is a suitable candidate for a tub cut conversion.
We consider the type of bathtub, its condition, the surrounding area, and how you want to use the finished shower.
2. Plan the Shower Opening
We determine the appropriate location and size of the opening based on your needs and the existing tub.
The goal is to create an entry that is easier to use while maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the bathtub.
3. Cut the Bathtub
We carefully cut the designated section of the bathtub.
Depending on whether your bathtub is fiberglass, steel, or cast iron, the cutting and preparation process will be different.
4. Rebuild and Finish the Opening
After the tub section has been removed, we rebuild and finish the opening so it becomes a durable, professional-looking shower entry.
Our goal is for the finished conversion to look intentional and integrated with the existing bathtub—not like a rough piece of the tub was simply cut away.
5. Seal and Finish the Conversion
The finished area is sealed and completed for shower use.
We pay close attention to the transition area so water is properly contained during normal shower use.
