Tub-to-Shower Conversions for Tempe Homes
North Tempe's 1950s to 1970s ranch homes often have one small hall bathroom with an original tub over a cast iron drain. Converting it to a shower in Maple-Ash, Broadmor or Tempe Royal Palms usually means opening the floor. We inspect the old drain while it is exposed and replace what is failing.

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 Tempe: Questions
It can be, especially in a home with a second bathroom that keeps a tub. The conversion opens the floor around the old drain, so it is the right time to check the cast iron underneath. We will explain the layout options and what the drain work involves before you decide.
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 Tempe.
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.
