Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Forestville, Wake Forest, NC

Reclaim your bathroom with a tub-to-shower conversion in Forestville, Wake Forest, NC, done in as little as one to two days.

Why Wake Forest Homeowners Choose Bailey's for Tub-to-Shower Conversions

That tub in the guest bath probably hasn’t held water in years. It’s awkward to step over, a chore to clean around, and it’s eating space a walk-in shower would put to far better use. Plenty of Wake Forest homeowners tell us the same thing, and converting your tub is one of the most satisfying upgrades we do.

Danielle and Brandon handle every conversion personally, and as trained Schluter professionals we get the part that matters most right: proper waterproofing behind the walls and under the flooring. That hidden layer is what keeps a shower solid for decades instead of failing behind the tile in a few years.

Most conversions come together in one to two days, so you get a modern bathroom without your home turning into a construction zone. We plan the whole thing around your existing layout, your budget, and how you actually want the space to work.

A Safer, More Accessible Bathroom

Safety is one of the biggest reasons homeowners call us about a shower conversion, and it’s a genuinely good one. A high tub wall is one of the most common places for slips and falls at home, especially for seniors or anyone with mobility concerns. A walk-in shower removes that obstacle entirely.

We build accessibility right into the design rather than treating it as an afterthought. Depending on your needs, that can include:

The result is a bathroom that works for your family now and keeps working as your needs change, all without the space feeling clinical or institutional.

I highly recommend Bailey’s Remodeling. From the initial communication to the final install they were professional, prompt and delivered with excellent workmanship. Brandon and Danielle were great to work with on my master bath renovation. They were very respectful of my home keeping things clean and made the impact for the family manageable. They were flexible as I decided to add a couple of items to the renovation. They were fair on the price and delivered a beautiful result. I plan to use them again for other renovations in the future

How Much Does a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Cost in Wake Forest, NC

Pricing depends mostly on the materials you choose and the scope of the work. A straightforward conversion using quality acrylic or a simple tile surround sits at the more affordable end, while a fully custom, floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower with custom niches and premium fixtures runs higher.

Here’s what shapes your number:

Materials and finish: Acrylic wall systems cost less and install quickly. A custom tile walk-in shower costs more and delivers a higher-end, fully personalized look.
Shower features: Custom niches, a built-in bench, upgraded fixtures, and frameless glass all add to the total, and each one adds to how much you enjoy the space.
Plumbing: If we can keep the existing drain location, we keep costs down. Moving the drain or valve adds labor.
Bathroom size and condition: If we uncover water damage or a soft subfloor once the old tub comes out, repairing it properly protects the whole installation.

We keep our pricing transparent from the first estimate, so you’ll know exactly what you’re investing in before any work begins. Send us your bathroom details and we’ll put together a quote for your actual space.

How Your Conversion Comes Together

We keep the project tight and predictable, which is how a full bathroom change fits into a day or two.

Walkthrough and quote

We look at your bathroom, talk through what you want, and hand you a firm price and timeline before anything begins.

Tear out and waterproofing

The old tub comes out, we check the framing, drain, and subfloor, then install the Schluter system across the walls and pan so water stays sealed off from the structure.

Build and final walkthrough

Walls, flooring, glass, and hardware go in around the layout we planned, then we clean up and walk the finished shower with you to make sure every detail is right.

FAQs About Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Forestville, Wake Forest, NC

What exactly is a tub-to-shower conversion?

We remove your existing bathtub and replace it with a walk-in shower in the same footprint. That includes tearing out the old tub, waterproofing the area properly, and installing new walls, flooring, and fixtures. In most cases we work within your current plumbing, which keeps the project efficient and the cost reasonable.

How long does it take?

Most conversions are finished in one to two days, depending on the materials and whether any repairs turn up once the tub is out. A standard acrylic conversion goes fast, while a custom tile walk-in shower takes a little longer. Either way, we’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.

Is it a good option for seniors or anyone with mobility issues?

Absolutely, and it’s one of the most common reasons people call us. A low-threshold walk-in shower removes the high tub wall that causes so many slips, and adding grab bars and built-in seating makes the space genuinely safer. It’s a smart way to help someone stay comfortable and independent at home.

Will it fit my bathroom, and will the space feel bigger?

In almost every case, yes. A walk-in shower usually fits the space your tub already occupies, and opening up that footprint tends to make the whole bathroom feel larger and more modern. We’ll assess your layout and recommend the design that makes the most of the room.

Can I add a tub back later, and does this help resale?

You can convert back down the road if your needs change, though most homeowners never look back. As for resale, a clean, modern walk-in shower is a strong selling point, particularly since many buyers prefer a step-in shower over a tub in a primary bathroom.
