Why convert

Safer now, easier later.

A tub-to-shower conversion is one of the most practical upgrades in an Arizona home.

  • No step-over

    A curbless or low-curb entry removes the tub wall you step over every day.

  • Built-in safety

    Grab bars, a bench, a handheld shower and slip-resistant tile, planned from the start.

  • More room

    A shower in the tub’s footprint usually feels larger and brighter, with glass instead of a curtain.

  • Built to last

    A tiled, waterproofed shower — not a liner over the old tub.

What a conversion includes

More than taking out the tub.

A walk-in shower conversion replaces your bathtub with a properly built shower: the tub comes out, the plumbing and drain are reworked, the floor and walls are waterproofed, and the shower is tiled and finished with glass.

We design the entry, bench, niches and grab-bar blocking together, so the finished shower is safe without looking clinical. Where the slab allows, we build a curbless entry; otherwise a low-profile curb keeps the step to a minimum.

  • Tub removal and drain and valve relocation
  • Waterproofed shower pan and walls
  • Curbless or low-curb entry
  • Built-in bench, niches and grab bars
  • Handheld shower and slip-resistant tile
  • Frameless or semi-frameless glass

Who walk-in shower conversions are for

Most of the conversions we build are for homeowners who want to stay in the home they love for years to come: retirees in Scottsdale, Sun City and across the Valley, families planning for an aging parent, and anyone tired of stepping over a tub they never use. Done well, a walk-in shower is also simply a better shower — larger, brighter and easier to clean.

Built properly, not lined

Quick “bath-fitter” style products slide an acrylic liner over the old tub or wall. We take a different approach: we remove the tub, rebuild the shower floor with a sloped, waterproofed pan, and tile it like any shower in a full remodel. It takes longer than a one-day swap, and it lasts like the rest of your house.

Permits, planning and price

Moving a drain or valve is plumbing work, and we handle the permits it requires. Every conversion starts with an in-home measure and a written price, so you know the cost before you commit. If you are updating the whole room, see bathroom remodeling and our master bathroom remodels. We build walk-in showers across the Phoenix metro — Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and beyond. See the areas we serve, or visit our design showroom in Tempe.

Shower and bath clients

From homeowners who made the switch.

We just finished our Master Bedroom/Bath/Closet remodel with Republic West Remodeling and they did a great job. We first met with Jacque, who was excellent with her design and incorporated the details that we were specific about. And Kathy the interior designer was very helpful and patient as we picked out all our fixtures, marble, tile and chandelier. We cannot say enough good things about our Project Manager Aaron Weisman. He was so professional, courteous, and very accommodating. We always knew what crew was arriving each day, and the work that was to be accomplished that day. There was a week, we were on vacation and felt very comfortable leaving with the lockbox in place. Each night we received an email detailing the work that was done. Overall great experience, and now thoroughly enjoying our bedroom retreat!!!

This is the second time I have used republic west remodeling and I can honestly say that the quality of work they did was excellent again and they kept to their time schedule. The first time they totally remodeled our bathroom,closets and our master bedroom. This time was new flooring throughout the house and remodeled our laundry room. They are very accommodating and go the extra mile to please you. I am not sure if they are the cheapest because I did not shop there pricing.the peace of mind far out ways any savings if any. They also helped with designing and decorating. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I have had two projects completed by this company. A kitchen remodel in 2012 and a master bathroom in 2013. The kitchen went perfect and was exactly like it was pictured and envisioned. The master bathroom is also a great success. We did have a couple of issues with the bathroom. The project manager was not as responsive but the workers made up for his inattention. They were always willing to work with me and allowed me to do a number of items myself. This allowed me to keep the final cost down. I would recommend the company but be prepared to make calls to insure that you are getting what you want. You really need to do this with any remodeling project.
