Looking for a tub-to-shower conversion near me? Riverfront Contractors is your go-to bathroom remodeler in Kansas City. Call today for a free estimate! A tub-to-shower conversion removes an unused or hard-to-step-over tub and replaces it with a modern, accessible walk-in shower.
We serve Kansas City first, then Lenexa, Overland Park, Leawood, and Prairie Village. We handle demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, glass, and fixtures so your new shower works and lasts.
Why Convert a Tub to a Shower
If your tub sits unused or stepping over the edge has become a safety concern, a tub-to-shower conversion is a practical upgrade. A walk-in shower with a low or zero-threshold entry is easier and safer to use, especially for aging-in-place. It also opens up the bathroom and gives it a more modern feel.
We remove the tub, update the plumbing, install a waterproof pan or membrane, tile or acrylic walls, a glass enclosure, and new fixtures. We can add grab bars, a built-in bench, and a niche for shampoo and soap.
Our Conversion Process
Every tub-to-shower conversion starts with a free in-home estimate. We measure the space, listen to your ideas, and give you a clear, itemized proposal. We pull permits, follow local building codes, and keep clean job sites throughout. A typical conversion takes 3 to 5 days.
Every conversion is backed by our 1-year workmanship guarantee. See our bathroom remodeling in Kansas City page for the full bathroom process, or our shower remodel page for walk-in tile showers.
