Trade the tub you step over for a walk-in shower

Shower remodeling starts with what bothers you about the shower you have now. For many homeowners, it is a standard bathtub with an edge you have to step over. We take that tub out and build a walk-in shower in its place, a job called a tub-to-shower conversion. We also build new tile showers and set grab bars where they help.

Mulberry Creek Construction handles every trade a shower job needs, including the plumbing and the tile. You deal with one point of contact, and one contractor is responsible for the whole job. If the vanity and floor are due too, a full bathroom remodel covers the rest of the room. If a long soak still matters, a walk-in tub has a door you step through.

What We Handle

  • Tub-to-shower conversions that replace a tub you step over
  • Walk-in showers with a low curb, or no curb where the floor allows
  • Tile shower walls and floors
  • Grab bars and shower rails set into blocking
  • New shower valves and fixtures
  • Drain and supply line changes for the new layout
  • One point of contact for every trade on the job
  • A free estimate in writing before work starts

What changes behind the wall in a tub-to-shower conversion?

A tub-to-shower conversion starts when the old tub comes out and the walls and floor around it open up. A tub drains at one end, and a new shower may need its drain somewhere else. On a concrete slab, moving it means cutting the slab. Over a crawl space, the new line runs under the floor.

With the wall open, it is a good time to replace the old valve. Oklahoma's residential code calls for a shower valve that balances pressure or holds a set temperature. The valve also needs a limit that keeps it from going above 120 degrees.

The walls get a backer board made for wet areas, and the code lists which boards qualify. Plain drywall is not one of them. The code also wants a surface that does not soak up water at least 6 feet up the walls. While the wall is open, blocking can go in between the studs for grab bars.

Walk-in shower installation and grab bars

A walk-in shower swaps the tub wall for a low curb or no curb at all. The floor still slopes to the drain, a quarter inch to a half inch per foot under the state's code. So a curbless shower floor dips below the bathroom floor, and your framing or slab decides if that works.

We set grab bars and shower rails into blocking, since a bar is only as strong as what holds it. Where each bar goes depends on who uses the shower and how they get in and out. For a roll-in shower with no seat, the ADA standards for businesses put grab bars on three walls. At home, those rules make a good guide.

A CDC study looked at bathroom injuries to people 15 and older in U.S. emergency rooms in 2008. Most were falls, and more than a third happened during a bath or shower or while getting out of one. The authors pointed to grab bars and non-slip strips to cut those falls. Wider doorways and other aging in place changes are part of our accessibility remodeling.

FAQ

Shower Remodeling Questions, Answered

Common questions about shower remodeling around Woodward and the Oklahoma City metro. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (580) 216-9022

How much does a shower remodel cost?
The price depends on what your shower needs. Moving the drain or cutting a slab for a curbless floor adds work. The tile and fixtures you pick matter too, and so does any water damage behind the old tub. Call or text (580) 216-9022, and we will look at the room and put a free estimate in writing.
Can you turn my bathtub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. That is a tub-to-shower conversion, and the new shower often fits right where the tub was. Oklahoma's residential code sets the smallest shower at 900 square inches inside. We measure your space and talk through the layout on our visit.
Can you build a curbless shower in my bathroom?
That comes down to the floor, since a curbless shower floor sits lower than the floor around it. Over a crawl space, that can mean dropping the subfloor. On a slab, it means cutting concrete. Where the floor will not allow it, a low curb keeps the step small.
Should a new shower have a hand-held shower head?
It helps anyone who sits to bathe or needs help rinsing off. The ADA standards call for one in accessible showers at hotels and care facilities. The hose there has to be at least 59 inches long. The state's code also calls for backflow protection on a hand-held shower, so dirty water stays out of the pipes.
Should I keep one bathtub in the house?
That choice comes down to who lives there now and who may later. Small children are easier to bathe in a tub. If a soak still matters to you, a walk-in tub keeps one with a door to step through.
Do I need a permit to remodel a shower?
It depends on your city and the work. Oklahoma adopted the 2024 International Residential Code as the statewide minimum for homes. Plumbing changes, such as a moved drain or a new valve, can call for a plumbing permit. Your city's building permit office answers that for your address.
