Remove the tub you no longer use, gain a safer step-in shower, and modernize your bathroom in one focused project. Fully waterproofed tile and stone options for Toronto, Etobicoke, and Mississauga homeowners.
If you haven't taken a bath in over a year, your tub is taking up space you could be using every day. Here's what changes when it goes.
Stepping over a 16-inch tub wall is a leading cause of bathroom falls. A walk-in shower removes that barrier entirely.
Trade out a dated tub surround for fully tiled walls, frameless glass, and contemporary fixtures. Your bathroom feels new.
A walk-in shower in the same footprint feels twice as open. Glass doors and a continuous tile floor make small bathrooms breathe.
Curbless entries, grab bars, and built-in benches let you stay in your home longer, comfortably and confidently.
From standard curbed showers to fully barrier-free designs, we help you pick the option that fits your bathroom, budget, and how you actually use the space.
A low tiled curb at the entry contains the water. The most reliable and cost-effective option, and the easiest to fit into your existing tub footprint without moving plumbing.
A flush, zero-threshold entry with a linear drain. Ideal for aging in place, wheelchair access, or anyone who wants a fully modern, open shower. Best suited to detached and semi-detached homes.
Floor-to-ceiling porcelain or stone, recessed niches, accent walls, and frameless glass. The premium option for homeowners who want a high-end finish that elevates the whole bathroom.
The leaks, mould, and rotting subfloors you see in 5-year-old shower conversions almost always come from cheap or skipped waterproofing. We don't take that shortcut.
Every tiled conversion we build uses the full Schluter Kerdi system, a bonded waterproof membrane installed directly behind your tile. It creates a completely sealed envelope that protects the framing and subfloor for the life of the shower.
A clear, predictable process so you know what's happening at every stage. No surprises, no scope creep, no chasing for updates.
We measure the space, assess the existing plumbing, and discuss conversion options and finishes on site.
You receive a written quote with a fixed total price and a detailed materials list. Pick your tile, glass, and fixtures.
We protect your floors, demo the old tub and surround, reframe as needed, and build the new waterproofed shower.
Glass enclosure goes in, fixtures get connected, the site gets cleaned, and we walk through every detail together.

Removing a tub is the right move for most homeowners, but not every one. The honest answer depends on how many bathrooms you have, who uses them, and what you plan to do with the home. Here is how we guide the decision during a consultation, based on the situation you are actually in.
If another bathroom still has a tub for resale or the occasional soak, this one is free to become exactly what you want. Go fully modern: a frameless glass walk-in shower, floor-to-ceiling tile, a recessed niche, and a continuous tile floor that makes the room feel larger.
What we would recommend: a standard curbed or fully tiled custom build, finished to the look you want with no resale compromise needed.
Stepping over a tub wall is one of the most common causes of bathroom falls. If you intend to stay in your home for the long term, a walk-in shower removes that risk and adds comfort you feel every single day. Safety and independence matter far more here than a future buyer ever will.
What we would recommend: a curbless barrier-free entry where the home allows it, or a low curbed shower with grab bars and a built-in bench for stability.
A walk-in shower in the same footprint as the old tub feels noticeably more open. Clear glass instead of a bulky tub surround lets the eye travel the full length of the room, and a single continuous tile floor removes the visual break that makes small bathrooms feel cramped.
What we would recommend: a glass-enclosed shower kept within the existing plumbing footprint, which keeps both cost and timeline down.
This is the one situation that deserves a real conversation. Some buyers, especially families with young children, still look for at least one tub in a home. If you plan to stay for years, daily comfort and safety usually outweigh that. If a sale could come sooner, it is worth weighing your options first.
What we would recommend: talk it through at the consultation. A shower-tub combo can keep broad buyer appeal while still modernizing the space.
A modern walk-in shower is highly desirable to today's buyers and generally helps a sale, especially in condos and homes with more than one bathroom. The only caution is removing the home's last remaining tub right before listing, which can narrow your buyer pool depending on the neighbourhood.
What we would recommend: if you still have a tub elsewhere, convert with confidence. If this is the last one, we will help you choose a finish with the widest appeal.
If the tub has quietly become a hard-to-clean shelf you step into for showers, it is taking up space you could use better every day. Converting reclaims that space and removes the awkward step-over without changing how you actually use the room.
What we would recommend: a straightforward conversion within the existing footprint, with the finish level chosen to match your budget.

Bathtub to shower conversion costs in Toronto and the GTA typically range from $8,000 to $18,000+ depending on scope and material choices. We provide fixed pricing with no hidden fees, so your quote is your final price.
Key cost factors include shower pan type (custom tile with Schluter Kerdi vs. pre-formed base), wall finish (ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone), glass enclosure type, and accessibility features like zero-threshold entry, grab bars, or built-in seating.
Most bathtub to shower conversions in Toronto and Etobicoke take 5 to 7 working days from demolition to completion. Custom tile work with Schluter Kerdi waterproofing requires adequate cure time to ensure long-term durability.
Your project is managed by a dedicated crew from start to finish, with no rotating tradespeople and no delays waiting on subcontractors.
In most cases, a well-executed bathtub to shower conversion increases resale value, especially in condos and homes with multiple bathrooms. Modern walk-in showers with frameless glass and quality tile are highly desirable to today's buyers.
Only have one bathroom? It depends on your situation. For homeowners planning to age in place, safety and daily comfort often matter more than future resale. For homeowners who may sell in the near term, we can discuss shower-tub combo options that offer both accessibility and broad buyer appeal.
Schluter Kerdi is a bonded waterproofing membrane system installed directly behind your shower tiles. Unlike traditional methods that rely on a vapour barrier behind cement board, Schluter Kerdi creates a completely waterproof envelope that prevents moisture from reaching the wall structure.
This eliminates the risk of mould growth, wood rot, and structural damage behind your shower walls. We use Schluter Kerdi on every tiled shower and tub surround we install.
Yes. If your new shower is installed in the same footprint as the existing bathtub, the drain and water supply lines typically stay in the same location. This keeps costs lower and the timeline shorter.
Most standard alcove bathtubs leave a space roughly 30 to 42 inches deep and 5 feet wide, which is an ideal footprint for a walk-in shower. During your free consultation, we assess the existing plumbing and advise on the most cost-effective approach.
A curbed shower has a raised threshold (typically 3 to 4 inches) at the entrance that contains water inside the shower area. It is the most common and cost-effective option.
A curbless (barrier-free) shower has a zero-threshold entry flush with the bathroom floor, allowing wheelchair access and easier entry for anyone with mobility concerns. Curbless showers require precise floor grading to direct water toward the drain and are more complex to install.
Important for condo owners: curbless showers are generally not possible in condos because the concrete subfloor cannot be modified to create the required drainage slope. A low-profile curb is typically the best option for condo bathrooms.
We take job site cleanliness seriously. Every project includes heavy-duty plastic barriers sealing off the work area from the rest of your home, floor protection preventing debris from tracking through hallways, HEPA-filtered vacuums capturing dust at the source, and end-of-day cleanup with daily debris removal.
Your project is managed by a dedicated crew who take pride in leaving your home clean at the end of every work day.
Every bathtub to shower conversion we complete is fully customized, with no cookie-cutter packages. Your design options include tile patterns and accent feature walls, shower niche placement and sizing, built-in bench seating or teak folding benches, frameless glass configurations, rainfall and handheld showerhead options, and accessibility features like grab bars and zero-threshold entry.
Yes. You're welcome to supply your own tiles and fixtures. Popular GTA tile suppliers include Olympia Tile, Ciot, and SS Tile and Stone. We provide a detailed materials list with exact quantities so ordering is straightforward, and we coordinate delivery timing to keep your project on schedule.
Every conversion includes a 2-year workmanship warranty on all installation work, covering waterproofing, tile installation, and plumbing connections. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures typically run 5 to 10 years. Our crew is fully WSIB registered with comprehensive liability insurance.
We've been renovating bathrooms in the GTA since 2004 and stand behind every project we complete.
Barrier-free shower conversions are one of our specialties. Using Schluter Kerdi waterproofing systems, we build zero-threshold curbless entries for wheelchair accessibility, grab bars and built-in seating for stability and comfort, and non-slip flooring with handheld shower heads for added safety.
All accessible work is built to professional safety standards. An on-site measurement is required to confirm space allowances and determine the best accessible configuration for your bathroom.
