Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Conroe, TX
The Shift from Soaking to Spraying
For decades, home builders in Montgomery County specifically in communities like Imperial Oaks and Harper’s Preserve installed massive "garden tubs" in master bathrooms. While these looked luxurious in model homes, the reality for most homeowners is that they act as giant dust collectors that take up valuable square footage.
At Grand Conroe Remodel, we have seen a massive shift in local demand. Homeowners are trading in unused tubs for spacious, luxury walk-in showers. This process, known as a Tub-to-Shower Conversion, is not just a trend; it is a lifestyle upgrade.
Why Conroe Homeowners Are Making the Switch
Safety and "Aging in Place"
For our clients in established retirement or leisure communities like April Sound, Panorama Village, and Bentwater, safety is the priority.
The Problem:
Traditional bathtubs require stepping over a high wall (often 15+ inches) on slippery surfaces, which is a leading cause of bathroom falls.
Our Solution:
We replace that barrier with a curbless or low-threshold shower. We can install ADA-compliant grab bars, built-in teak or tile bench seating, and handheld shower valves to make bathing safe and comfortable without sacrificing style.
Modern Aesthetics & Real Estate Value
In newer developments like Artavia or Grand Central Park, modern design favors clean lines and open space.
Removing a bulky tub opens up the visual field of the bathroom, making the room feel 30% larger.
We utilize frameless glass enclosures and premium stone tile (Travertine, Marble, or high-end Ceramic) to turn a cramped bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary.
Better Functionality
Most people shower daily but take a bath only a few times a year. Converting the tub allows for:
Dual Shower Heads:
Rainfall showerheads combined with directional sprays.
Custom Niches:
Recessed shelving for shampoos and soaps, eliminating the clutter of bottles on the tub rim.
Steam Shower Integration:
For our high-end clients in Waterfront Communities, we can enclose the space to create a residential steam room.
The Grand Conroe Remodel Process
With 10 years of experience and a team of 25 skilled professionals, we have refined the conversion process to be efficient and minimally invasive.
Assessment & Design
We visit your home (whether you are in Downtown Conroe or The Woodlands) to inspect the existing plumbing footprint. Moving the drain from a tub location to a shower location requires precise sub-floor plumbing work, which is our specialty.
Demolition & Waterproofing
This is where DIY projects often fail. Our crew removes the old fiberglass or cast iron tub and ensures the sub-floor is solid. We then install a state-of-the-art waterproofing system (backing board and membrane) to prevent future mold or rot a critical step in humid East Texas.
The Build
Plumbing: We upgrade valves and move drains.
Tiling: Our craftsmen install the tile design of your choice (Herringbone, Subway, Large Format).
Fixtures: Installation of shower doors, faucets, and safety bars.
