Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Clackamas County

Why homeowners convert

• Reclaim space and function from a tub nobody uses
• Easier, safer entry: a big draw for aging in place
• A clean, modern walk-in look that makes the bathroom feel larger
• Fewer grout lines and corners to clean than a tub-and-surround

What's involved

We remove the old tub, reframe the opening, and rebuild the wet area with a properly sloped pan and a bonded waterproofing membrane before any tile or surround goes up. New valve, drain connection, glass, and either tile or a low-maintenance surround finish the job. The waterproofing is the part you never see and the part that matters most.

If the drain stays in roughly the same spot, a conversion often avoids major plumbing changes; moving or adding plumbing triggers a county permit, which we handle.

Timeline and cost

Many conversions finish in about 2–4 days when the drain location doesn't move. Cost depends mainly on whether you choose custom tile or a prefab surround, and on the glass, a frameless enclosure costs more than a simple panel.
