Walk-In Showers in Dallas, TX
Converting an unused tub into a proper walk-in shower is one of the highest-value changes you can make to a bathroom — and one of the easiest to get wrong beneath the tile.
What a conversion actually involves
Removing a tub and tiling the space is not a conversion. Tub and shower drains sit in different places, and the plumbing has to move to suit. A real conversion means:
- Removing the tub and the surround, and opening the wall to the studs.
- Relocating the drain to the new shower's centre, and replacing the tub spout valve with a shower valve — usually thermostatic.
- Building a pan with a proper pre-slope to the drain, before waterproofing.
- Bonding a waterproof membrane over the pan, curb and walls, lapped correctly at every corner and the niche.
- Flood-testing the pan before any tile is laid.
- Tiling, then templating glass to the finished opening.
Curbed or curbless?
Both work. The decision is usually made by your floor construction and your budget.
Curbed is simpler and cheaper. The pan sits above the existing floor with a low tiled curb to contain water. Fine in a guest bathroom and in most retrofits.
Curbless looks better, cleans more easily and is the right choice if accessibility matters now or later. It needs the floor recessed to keep the drain below finished level — easy on a raised floor, a slab-cutting exercise on a concrete slab, which we'll price openly rather than discovering mid-job.

Glass, drains and the details that show
Small decisions with a big effect on how the finished shower feels:
- Frameless glass is templated to the tiled opening after tiling. It's the single most expensive component after tile, and it's what makes the shower look built rather than assembled.
- Linear drains allow a single-direction slope, which suits large-format tile because the tile doesn't have to be cut into a four-way fall. Centre drains are cheaper and need smaller tile or a mosaic pan.
- Niches should sit in a wall away from direct spray, be sized to real bottles, and be waterproofed as carefully as the pan. A sloped niche floor drains instead of pooling.
- Thermostatic valves stop the temperature swinging when water is used elsewhere.
- Tile size drives cost. Large-format needs a genuinely flat substrate; mosaic needs far more labour and grout. Neither is cheap for the same reason.

How we work
One team, five steps, no surprises
Most remodels go wrong in the gaps — between the drawing and the build, between one trade leaving and the next arriving. We run design and construction under one contract so there are no gaps to fall into.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Typically 2 to 3 weeks on site. The waiting is unavoidable — membranes and mortar cure on their own schedule, and glass is fabricated after tiling. Anyone promising a one-day conversion is fitting an acrylic insert over the existing surface, which is a different product with a different lifespan.
They're fast and they're watertight, and for some situations — an accessibility need on a short timeline — they're a reasonable answer. But they're an acrylic liner over what's already there, so they don't fix any underlying rot or failed waterproofing, and they look like what they are. If you want a tiled shower that lasts decades, it's a different job.
If it's the only tub in the house, potentially — buyers with young children look for one. If you have another tub elsewhere, converting the primary bathroom is almost always a net gain. We'll tell you which situation you're in.
