Walk-In Shower Conversion

Walk-in shower conversion that replaces a tub or small stall with an open, tiled shower with a glass panel, bench and niche designed around your bathroom.

Many bathrooms have a tub that no one uses and a shower that feels cramped. Converting that space to a walk-in shower opens the room and makes daily life easier. People in Nashville ask for walk-in showers for resale appeal, for comfort and for the long term, and tile makes them look finished. We plan the new footprint, the drain location, the glass and the tile together, so the shower feels like it was always meant to be there.

Converting means opening the walls and floor, so we look at plumbing, framing and floor structure early. Moving a drain is possible but affects the floor, and we explain what is simple and what is not. We then design the shower: size, bench, niche, shower heads and glass. Large wall tiles with few grout lines make the space feel bigger, and a mosaic or smaller tile on the floor follows the slope. We give you a written scope that includes demolition, waterproofing, tile and finishing details. Measure the alcove if you can, and take a photo of where the drain and valve sit now. Those two facts tell us how much can stay and how much has to move. If you plan a glass enclosure, ask the glass company for their requirements early, since wall tile thickness and layout affect their measurements.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.

  3. 03

    Review the estimate

    You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    We prepare the surfaces

    Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.

  5. 05

    We set the tile

    Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.

  6. 06

    Grout, seal and walk through

    We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.

Questions

Walk-In Showers FAQ

How big should a walk-in shower be?

Many are around three by five feet or larger, but it depends on your room and plumbing.

Can I keep the existing drain location?

Often yes, which keeps costs and complexity down. We check the floor first.

Do I need a glass door?

Not always. Open designs and half walls work when the room layout allows.

Will tile work in a small bathroom?

Yes. Light colors and continuous tile can make small rooms feel larger.

How long does a conversion take?

Often one to two weeks including waterproofing and cure times, depending on repairs.
