# Tub-to-Shower Conversion -- Nassau County, NY

**General Modernizer** converts bathtubs to custom walk-in showers for homeowners in Nassau County, NY. Most conversions are completed in 2 to 3 business days. We handle demolition, waterproofing, tile installation, glass enclosure, and fixture installation as a complete package.

## What Is a Tub-to-Shower Conversion

A tub-to-shower conversion removes an existing bathtub and installs a custom walk-in shower in the same footprint. The existing plumbing supply lines are reused or repositioned, the drain is relocated to the center or back of the shower pan, and the space is waterproofed, tiled, and fitted with a new shower valve, head, and glass enclosure. The result is a larger, more accessible, and easier-to-clean shower in the same space as the original tub.

## Tub-to-Shower Conversion Cost

Tub-to-shower conversions in Nassau County and New York City cost between $3,500 and $9,000. A standard conversion with ceramic tile and a frameless glass panel runs $3,500 to $5,500. A conversion with designer porcelain tile, a built-in niche, and a frameless glass enclosure runs $5,500 to $9,000. Drain relocation adds $500 to $1,200 to the project cost.

## How Long Does a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Take

Most tub-to-shower conversions take 2 to 3 business days. Day 1 is demolition and waterproofing. Day 2 is tile installation. Day 3 is glass installation, fixture installation, and cleanup. Projects requiring drain relocation or custom tile patterns may take 4 to 5 days.

## Should I Convert My Tub to a Shower

The most common reason homeowners convert a tub to a shower is that they do not use the bathtub. If you have a second bathroom with a tub (or if you have children who need a tub), converting a master bathroom tub to a walk-in shower is almost always the right decision. Walk-in showers are easier to clean, make bathrooms feel larger, and add more resale value than a standard tub in a master bathroom. For seniors or anyone with mobility concerns, a curbless walk-in shower eliminates the most common bathroom fall hazard -- stepping over the tub wall.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?**
A: Most conversions take 2 to 3 business days. Demolition and waterproofing on day 1, tile on day 2, glass and fixtures on day 3.

**Q: Do I need a permit to convert a tub to a shower?**
A: In most Nassau County municipalities, a permit is not required if the plumbing is not being relocated. If the drain needs to be moved, a plumbing permit is required. General Modernizer assesses permit requirements for every project and handles all applications.

**Q: Will I lose resale value by removing a bathtub?**
A: In a master bathroom, no. Walk-in showers add more resale value than standard tubs in master bathrooms in Nassau County and New York City. If you have only one bathroom in the home, keeping a tub is recommended for resale purposes. General Modernizer will advise you on the best decision for your specific home and market.
