Replace an Outdated Tub with a Shower That Fits Your Life

Many homeowners rarely use their bathtub, especially in a primary bathroom or guest bath where a walk-in shower would be more useful. Converting a tub into a shower can open up the bathroom, improve daily comfort, and make the space feel cleaner and more functional.


SES Renovations approaches every tub-to-shower conversion with thoughtful planning. We look at your existing layout, plumbing, safety needs, storage preferences, and finish options to help you choose a shower design that makes sense for your space.


Whether you are planning ahead for aging in place, want a more low-maintenance shower, or simply prefer the look and convenience of a walk-in shower, our team can help you upgrade your bathroom with confidence.

Designed for Safety, Simplicity & Long-Term Value

A tub to shower conversion should do more than make your bathroom look new. It should make the space easier to use, easier to clean, and better prepared for everyday life.

Easier Access for Daily Use


Stepping over a tall tub wall can be inconvenient and, for some homeowners, unsafe. A shower conversion can create a more accessible bathing area with a lower entry point, a more open layout, and optional comfort features like seating or grab bar placement.


A Cleaner, More Modern Shower Space


Replacing an old tub with a shower can instantly make the bathroom feel more current. With the right shower walls, fixtures, storage, and enclosure, the space can feel brighter, cleaner, and more intentionally designed.


Low-Maintenance Shower Materials


For homeowners who want a shower that is easier to care for, SES Renovations can incorporate the SES Bath Surround System. This option offers a waterproof, mold-resistant, and mildew-resistant shower surface with the look of stone or tile.


Smart Planning for Long-Term Comfort


Your bathroom needs may change over time. Features like shower benches, handheld showerheads, low-threshold entries, and grab bar blocking can help make your shower more comfortable now while supporting long-term usability.

Tub to Shower Conversion vs. Full Bathroom Remodel


Not every bathroom needs a full renovation. In many cases, a focused tub to shower conversion can make a big difference by updating the most-used area of the room.



A tub to shower conversion typically focuses on removing the existing bathtub and replacing it with a functional shower. A full bathroom remodel may include additional updates such as flooring, vanity installation, lighting, ventilation, layout changes, or accessibility improvements.


SES Renovations can help you choose the right project scope based on your goals, budget, and the condition of your bathroom. If your tub area is the main concern, a conversion may be the right place to start. If the entire bathroom feels outdated, we can also discuss a larger bathroom renovation plan.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Does converting a bathtub into a shower lower the resale value of a home?

    No, converting a bathtub into a shower generally increases a home's market appeal, provided there is still at least one standard bathtub remaining elsewhere in the house. Real estate data shows that modern buyers overwhelmingly prefer spacious walk-in showers in primary en suites over traditional shower-tub combos. 


    A professionally executed tub-to-shower conversion typically yields a return on investment (ROI) of 60% to 70% and makes the home highly attractive to buyers focused on modern aesthetics and accessibility.


  • What are the best features to include in a shower conversion for aging in place?

    To maximize safety and accessibility for aging in place, a tub-to-shower conversion should incorporate several specialized features. The most critical additions include:


    • Zero-threshold (curbless) entry to eliminate tripping hazards.
    • ADA-compliant grab bars anchored securely to structural wall blocking.
    • A built-in bench or fold-down teak seat for comfortable bathing.
    • A handheld shower wand mounted on an adjustable slide bar.
    • Slip-resistant textured flooring to prevent falls in wet conditions.
  • Do I need a permit for a tub-to-shower conversion in Minnesota or Wisconsin?

    Yes, most municipalities in Minnesota and Wisconsin require a plumbing permit for a tub-to-shower conversion because the project involves modifying existing drain lines and water supply valves. 


    As a fully licensed General Contractor serving communities like Hudson, Woodbury, Edina, and Stillwater, SES Renovations manages the entire permitting process. We ensure that all structural, waterproofing, and plumbing work is properly inspected and meets all municipal building and safety codes.
