Tub-to-Shower Conversions for Scottsdale Homes
In South Scottsdale's mid-century homes, the bathroom tub often sits over original drain pipe that has never been touched. A shower conversion there includes checking that drain and resetting the valve. Further north, in McCormick Ranch and Scottsdale Ranch, conversions tend to be layout upgrades on newer plumbing.

How the Job Works
Step 1: Talk through the shower you want
Curb or curbless, bench, niche, glass. We explain what each choice means for the plumbing and the floor.
Step 2: Remove the tub and inspect
Once the tub is out, we check the drain line, the valve and the framing for old leaks before building anything new.
Step 3: Rework the drain and valve
The drain is enlarged and moved as needed, and a new shower valve is installed and pressure-tested.

Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Scottsdale: Questions
Often, yes, but a curbless shower needs the floor recessed so water drains the right way. On a slab, that means more concrete work around the drain. We look at the space, explain what it takes in your home, and give you a clear scope before anything is committed.
Timing depends on the job, not the city. As a guide, consultation and site visit takes about an hour, and tub removal and demolition takes about a day. Every job is scoped upfront, so you know the timeline before work starts, and we set a visit time that works for you in Scottsdale.
Most conversions take one to two weeks from demolition to finished tile and glass. Moving the drain through the slab, a curbless entry or a custom glass enclosure can add time. You get a clear timeline in the scope before work starts, and you hear immediately if anything changes.
