"Did my entire washroom conversion from bathtub to standing shower. Best guys in the industry. They pay attention to a lot of details and ended with a beautiful renovation. Also a really good price."
"Nestor and his team worked on my ensuite washroom in less than 10 days! Marbled tiles and a pristine glass shower door. They were so professional and very considerate of my home."
"Nestor and his team were great! Creating an accessible shower that met our needs in a small space. Wonderfully communicative and very fair pricing!"
"Nestor and his team are amazing. Our new shower looks great, and the whole process was quick and easy. The entire crew was professional and friendly."
"Nestor gives clear quotes and explanations. His team are always on time, work hard, and leave the house clean. Pleasure to work with."
"He transformed our 1950's bathroom into a spa like bathroom. The crew is now starting on a second bathroom renovation. Very professional, and totally reliable!"
It's not just "rip out the tub." Done right, it's a structured project that touches plumbing, drainage, waterproofing, tile, glass, and finishing. For the shower area alone, with the rest of the bathroom left as-is, we can complete the work in about 5 days.
The tub comes out. The drain location for a tub usually doesn't sit where a shower drain belongs, so a licensed plumber repositions the drain rough-in, often two to three feet over depending on the new layout. The shower mixer valve typically gets relocated higher up the wall, and we add proper shutoffs.
If you have an older home in Mineola or Lakeview, expect to find galvanized supply lines or cast-iron drain stacks behind the wall. We replace any of that we touch with copper or PEX (supply) and ABS (drain), so you don't end up with a leak six months after the reno.
We never tile over drywall. For wet areas we use proper substrates designed for moisture: DenShield, cement board with a Schluter Kerdi membrane installed over it, GoBoard, and in some cases Wedi board. Every seam is sealed with Kerdi-Band waterproofing tape. The shower pan is either a pre-formed Schluter tray or a custom-poured mortar bed with Kerdi waterproofing on top. The result is a continuous, impermeable barrier behind your tile.
Tile and grout aren't waterproof on their own. The membrane is. This is the single most important detail in any tub-to-shower conversion, and it's where corner-cutting contractors quietly skip steps to save a day.
Once waterproofing is tested, tile installation begins. For most Mississauga residential conversions we use 12×24 or larger porcelain on the walls and a smaller mosaic or pebble for the shower floor (better grip, easier slope). We can also use any mosaic tile paired with Mapei Kerapoxy grout for a 100% watertight, long-lasting result. Niches for shampoo and soap get built into the wall framing during demo, then waterproofed and tiled with the rest.
For shower grout we use Mapei Kerapoxy, a stain-resistant epoxy grout. It costs more than cement grout and takes a bit longer to install, but it doesn't absorb water, doesn't stain from soap and shampoo, and never needs sealing. On a wet wall you want grout that performs as long as the tile does.
Glass enclosure goes in last, after tile cures. Frameless glass is the cleanest look. Semi-frameless costs a few hundred less and looks nearly identical. Fixed panel ("fixed-glass walk-in") is the most affordable and works well in tighter spaces.
These three decisions drive 80% of how the finished shower looks and how much it costs. We walk you through each one before any work starts.
A traditional shower has a small tile curb (~4") at the entrance. Curbless means the floor is flat from the bathroom into the shower: easier to clean, more accessible, and visually larger. Curbless requires the subfloor to be lowered or the shower floor to be built up so it slopes to a linear drain, so it's a slightly bigger structural job. Worth it for most homeowners we work with.
A linear drain sits along one wall, lets you slope the floor in one direction, and works perfectly with large-format tile (no four-way slope cuts). A centre drain is more traditional and requires four small slopes meeting in the middle, fine with smaller tile or mosaic. Linear drains cost a bit more but solve a lot of installation problems.
Frameless: the cleanest look, ½" tempered glass, no metal trim. Most expensive. Semi-frameless: same glass, a slim header bar at the top, costs less, looks nearly identical. Fixed-panel: a single sheet of glass with no door, paired with a curbless walk-in shower, minimalist and the most affordable, great for smaller bathrooms.
A meaningful share of our tub-to-shower conversions are driven by mobility. Maybe you've already had a close call stepping over the tub, or you're planning ahead so the home still works for you in 15 or 20 years. The good news: a well-designed walk-in shower can be both modern-looking and quietly accessible.
What we plan for, even when you don't ask: solid 2x6 blocking inside the walls during framing so grab bars can be added later without ripping out tile. Curbless entry. A built-in tile bench at seating height. Hand-held shower head on a slide bar. Lever-handle taps instead of knobs. None of this adds significant cost when it's done at the framing stage.
A common worry: "Will removing my only tub hurt resale value?" In Mississauga's residential market, the answer for most homes is no, as long as another bathroom in the home still has a tub. For a primary ensuite or main bathroom in a two-storey detached, buyers strongly prefer a generous walk-in shower over a builder-grade tub-shower combo.
The exception: a single-bathroom bungalow with no tub anywhere. If you have young children or buyers might, keeping at least one tub in the home is sensible. We'll give you our honest read on whether your specific layout supports a tub-to-shower conversion or whether to keep the tub in this bathroom and move the shower upgrade elsewhere.
Since the floor is already coming up for the conversion, this is the cheapest moment to add electric radiant heat under the tile. About $1,500 to $2,500 added to the project for a typical bathroom. Almost everyone who adds it tells us it was worth it, especially for the cold January mornings in Mississauga.
A retired Mississauga couple wanted to age in place without leaving the home they raised their kids in. We removed an awkward 1980s tub-shower combo, rerouted the drain, built a curbless walk-in with a linear drain, and added blocking for future grab bars. Large-format porcelain, an antique-style vanity, and a frameless fixed-panel glass enclosure finished it off.

A young family used the corner soaker tub maybe twice a year and resented the wasted square footage. We pulled the tub, opened the wall to a stud-out remodel, built a generous walk-in shower with a built-in bench, niche for shampoo, and warm-gold fixtures against Carrara-look porcelain. The kids' bathroom down the hall still has a tub for the little ones.
