Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Wayne, NJ
Modern Walk-In Showers — Custom Tile, Glass, and Built-In Storage in Under a Week.
Replace your unused tub with a custom walk-in shower in 5–7 days. Tile, glass, niches, benches, optional curbless entry — handled directly by Casey, finished cleanly, built to last decades. Serving Wayne and 11 northern NJ towns.
Why So Many Northern NJ Homeowners Convert Their Tub to a Walk-In Shower
Most northern NJ homes have a bathtub nobody actually uses. It collects dust, takes up two-thirds of the bathroom footprint, and makes the room feel smaller than it has to. A tub-to-shower conversion reclaims that space as a real shower — bigger, easier to clean, easier to age into.
We remove the existing tub, address any plumbing relocation, frame and waterproof a new shower pan (or install a curbless linear-drain pan), tile the walls and floor, install a glass enclosure, and set the fixtures. Most conversions finish in 5–7 days of on-site work.
Common upgrades during the conversion: built-in tile niche, fold-down or built-in tile bench, comfort grab bars, curbless entry for full accessibility, and large format wall tile for a modern, low-grout-line finish.

Why So Many Wayne Homeowners Are Converting Their Tubs
A lot of Wayne's housing stock — especially the Pines Lake and Packanack Lake split-levels, the Preakness ranches, and the Wayne Hills colonials — was built with a single primary bath and a builder-spec tub nobody planned to use. Twenty, thirty, fifty years later, that tub is still there.
We convert those tubs to modern walk-in showers in 5–7 days of on-site work. Casey personally handles the tub demolition, any plumbing relocation needed, the new shower pan or curbless linear-drain installation, full waterproofing, tile work, glass install, and fixture setting.

Tub-to-Shower Questions Wayne Homeowners Ask
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
Most conversions are finished in 5–7 days of on-site work, once materials are in. Lead time for tile, glass, and fixtures usually adds 1–2 weeks. Curbless conversions can add a day or two on-site.
Will losing the tub hurt my home's resale value?
Not if you keep at least one tub elsewhere in the house. A master bath with a walk-in shower instead of a tub is a strong selling point. If you only have one bathroom, we'll talk through the resale tradeoff.
Can you do a curbless (zero-threshold) shower?
Yes — curbless walk-ins are one of our most-requested conversions. We slope the subfloor, install a linear drain, and waterproof the entry to keep water in the shower without a curb.
Do you handle the plumbing?
We coordinate a licensed plumber for any rough-in changes. You don't schedule anything — Casey handles it.
Custom tile or acrylic surround?
We don't install acrylic surrounds. Custom tile lasts longer and is what we're known for.
Does a conversion cost less than a full bathroom remodel?
Significantly less — usually a third to a half, since we don't touch the vanity, toilet, or floors outside the tub bay.
