Tub-to-Shower Conversions

Tub-to-Shower Conversions

Transform underused tubs into spacious, accessible showers.

Many Boston homeowners in Victorian-era properties struggle with deep, rarely used tubs. Our conversions create walk-in showers with proper drainage slopes to prevent water damage in old floor structures.

We install waterproofing systems specifically designed for New England's humidity, preventing mold growth behind walls. Options include built-in seating for aging in place, steam shower systems for luxury, or curbless designs for accessibility in multi-generational homes.
