The Most Requested Bathroom Upgrade in Chandler

The tub-to-shower conversion is the single most common bathroom project we complete across Chandler. And it makes sense.

Most Chandler homeowners — especially in neighborhoods like Ocotillo, Dobson Ranch, and Chandler Heights — have a master bathroom with a large garden tub they stopped using years ago. It sits there, taking up a third of the room, while they squeeze into a separate tub-shower combo that was never designed to be a primary shower.

Converting that tub space into a spacious, custom walk-in shower solves multiple problems at once. You gain square footage. You gain a shower that actually fits your routine. And you gain a bathroom that looks and feels significantly more modern.

It is one of the highest-return upgrades you can make to a Chandler home.

Our Services

What Our Tub-to-Shower Conversion Chandler Includes

A tub-to-shower conversion is more than just swapping out fixtures. Done right, it is a complete transformation that touches every element of the space.

Full Bath tub Removal

We handle complete removal of your existing bathtub, surround, and all associated plumbing. No partial demo, no cut corners. The space is cleared properly before any new work begins.

Subfloor Inspection and Repair

Once the tub is out, we inspect the subfloor for water damage, rot, or structural issues — problems that are invisible until removal but common in older Chandler homes. Any issues are addressed before new installation begins.

Drain Relocation and Plumbing Upgrades

Converting a tub footprint to a walk-in shower requires repositioning the drain and upgrading the rough-in plumbing. Our in-house crew manages all plumbing work — you do not need a separate plumber.

Professional-Grade Waterproofing

Every surface of your new shower — floor, walls, curb, niches, and all penetration points — is waterproofed using Laticrete Hydro Ban before any tile is installed. We flood-test every shower pan to verify integrity. Chandler's expansive clay soil shifts with seasonal moisture. That movement puts real pressure on shower waterproofing. We do not cut corners here.

Custom Tile Installation

Your new shower is tiled exactly to your specifications. Popular choices for Chandler tub-to-shower conversions include: Large-format porcelain for a clean, modern look Natural stone — travertine, marble, or slate Classic subway tile in standard or designer profiles Wood-look tile for warmth without moisture risk Mosaic accent tile for custom detail work All tile is installed using the Raimondi leveling system for zero-lippage results.

Premium Fixture Installation

Choose your showerhead configuration — rainfall, handheld, dual, or multi-function body spray — from Kohler, Moen, or Delta. All plumbing connections and fixture installation are handled by our crew.

Frameless Glass Enclosure

We finish your conversion with a custom-cut, tempered glass enclosure in your choice of configuration — frameless panels, sliding doors, or hinged entry — with hardware in matte black, brushed nickel, or polished chrome.

Why Chandler Homeowners Convert Their Tub to a Shower

Still on the fence? Here is why it makes sense for most Chandler homeowners.

You will actually use it. Studies consistently show that over 70% of homeowners prefer showers over baths for daily use. A custom walk-in shower built around your routine gets used. A garden tub collects dust.

You gain real space. A standard bathtub takes up 14 to 18 square feet of floor space. Converting that footprint to an open walk-in shower makes the entire bathroom feel larger — even before you change anything else.

It adds measurable home value. Bathroom upgrades consistently rank among the highest-ROI home improvement projects. A custom tile walk-in shower is a feature buyers actively look for in Chandler’s competitive real estate market.

It is easier to keep clean. Flat tile surfaces with sealed grout are significantly easier to maintain than textured tub surrounds and hard-to-reach corners. A well-waterproofed shower with quality tile stays cleaner, longer.

Can any bathtub be converted to a walk-in shower?

In most cases, yes. We assess your existing plumbing, subfloor condition, and available space during the free consultation to determine the best approach for your specific bathroom.

Will I lose resale value by removing the bathtub?
