Spruce Up Your Bathroom Without Starting Over

You don’t always need a full remodel to give your bathroom a fresh, personal update. At Basin, our tub-to-shower and shower-to-tub conversions — plus custom surrounds — deliver transformative change without the cost or downtime of a full renovation.

Whether you want a safer, more accessible shower, a cozy new soaking tub, or simply a fresh surround to brighten the room, we’ll help you make it happen.

We handle every phase of the project from the demo, plumbing, and tile — even the installation of the shower door at the end.

  • Safety & Accessibility
    Walk-in showers, built-in seating, or specialized tubs can make bathing safer and more comfortable.

  • Better Use of Space
    Showers can open up smaller bathrooms; tubs add comfort and relaxation.

  • Tailored Style
    Whether you want a heritage style inset to match your farmhouse home, or a more practical space centered on accessibility and safety, all our design talents and resources are still at your disposal.

  • Easy Maintenance
    Choose surfaces designed to resist mold and heavy scrubbing.

Why Choose a Conversion?

  • Tub-to-Shower Conversion — Replace an old tub with a custom, tailored shower inset.

  • Shower-to-Tub Conversion — Add a soaking, or alcove tub in place of an outdated, or unnecessary shower.

  • Accessibility Features — Seating, slip-resistant floors, grab bars, and more.

FAQ

  • It depends on your jurisdiction, but generally, no. In Northern Colorado for example, you do not need a permit for a new tub or shower conversion if there is no alteration in the underlying plumbing, electrical, or structural components. In any case, we’ll handle the details for you.

  • Absolutely! We can reuse the existing plumbing underneath, as well as the fixtures already present — barring there are no issues.

    While there are no hold backs in using the existing fixtures and rough-in valve, it is important to consider replacement depending on the age of the rough-in valve. It’s better replace while the wall is open, than having to re-open it down the road amidst and emergency.

  • You can expect the same process we give for any of our projects! Protection of your home with floor coverings and plastic barriers, detail oriented and thoughtful work, and in the end, your stamp of approval to ensure the project exceeds your expectations.
