A tub-to-shower conversion transforms your existing bathtub area into a walk-in shower. Removing the need to step over a tub wall significantly reduces the risk of dangerous falls, one of the leading causes of injury among seniors in the home.
Blackstone Tub Refinishers provides tub-to-shower conversions as an affordable, professional home safety solution. Our conversions are designed to help seniors remain independent, protected, and confidently living in their own homes.
A tub-to-shower conversion is also a practical choice for anyone who has difficulty stepping in and out of a bathtub, or who simply prefers a walk-in shower and wants to reclaim that bathroom space.
The type of conversion we provide cuts out a portion of the front wall of the existing tub to create a low step-in entry, rather than tearing the whole tub out. It keeps the cost down and the disruption to a minimum.
Every so often a job reminds you that no two are quite the same. One that stays with me was a conversion in a mobile home. As I was cutting down the left side of the tub, about halfway down it got extremely hard to cut through the fiberglass. I pushed through, started down the right side, and hit the exact same thing. Once I removed that section of the tub, I found out why: someone had run an ABS drain pipe from the laundry room straight through the wall of the tub. We called in a plumber to reroute it, then I finished converting that fiberglass tub into a proper step-in shower. A good reminder that not every job is straightforward, and that experience is what gets you through the surprises.

Who Benefits from a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?
This service is most often chosen for safety and accessibility reasons, but it suits a wide range of homeowners and property situations.
A Safer Bathroom, Affordably
Bathroom falls are a serious safety risk, particularly for seniors. Stepping over the front wall of the tub is where most bathing injuries due to falling occur. A tub-to-shower conversion eliminates that step entirely.
Blackstone Tub Refinishers provides this service as an affordable alternative to more expensive accessibility renovations. Our goal is to help people remain safely and comfortably in their own homes.
