Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Lakewood

If the bathtub in your guest bath never gets used, a tub-to-shower conversion turns that wasted space into a shower you actually reach for. Excel-west removes the old tub, reworks the drain from a tub trap to a shower P-trap, waterproofs the walls, and finishes with tile or an acrylic surround and a glass enclosure. Most conversions in the 90715 area run between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on the finish.

Why Convert

A shower is easier to step into, easier to clean, and a better fit for how most households actually use a second bathroom. Swapping the tub also lets us replace an old single-handle valve with an anti-scald pressure-balancing valve limited to 120 degrees, a safety upgrade that older Lakewood homes near Downey Ave often need.

Our Process

We pull the tub and surround, then rework the drain and supply lines. Cement backer board and a bonded waterproofing membrane go in next, followed by tile or acrylic, the new valve and trim, and the glass. We check the waterproofing before any tile is set so the finished shower stays watertight.
