Find your fit
Surface · Subway tile 3×6Your reason. Your tier.
Tub-to-walk-in conversions happen for very different reasons. The right tier depends on your situation, not only your budget.
Illustrative- Primary bath · Daily usability
The empty nester
The big tub nobody uses takes up half the bathroom and is a step-over every morning. A walk-in sized to your alcove gives you more floor space and no tub rim to climb.
- Listing · Buyer appeal
The pre-sale renovator

What goes in your walls
Layer · Waterproofing membraneThe materials. Every one.
Our material specifications are published so you know what goes into your home before you sign anything.
- Tier 01
Acrylic wall surrounds
Factory-made acrylic panels (MAAX NexTile, Sterling Accord) fitted to standard alcoves. No grout lines; a weekly wipe is the only upkeep.
- Tiers 02–04
Composite stone panels
Large-format composite panels (such as MAAX Utile) with a stone texture, waterproof edge to edge, with matching niche framing.
- Tiers 03–04
Tempered safety glass
Enclosures use tempered safety glass (ANSI Z97.1) in frameless or semi-frameless configurations, with brushed nickel, matte black or chrome hardware.
- All tiers
Waterproof membrane
A waterproofing membrane on substrate seams and floor transitions before panels go up — a second barrier behind a waterproof wall system.
- All tiers
Pressure-balance valves
Every conversion gets a new pressure-balance valve; Walk-In Sanctuary gets a thermostatic valve.
- All tiers
Cement board substrate
Cement board, not moisture-resistant drywall: it does not rot or grow mold if moisture reaches it.

Common questions
Finish · Calacatta-look marbleAsked. Answered.
The same answers our team gives at the free visit.
Tub to Walk-In tiers start at from $7,499 for Acrylic Entry, from $7,800 for Composite Stone, from $9,800 for Stone + Tile (hand-set porcelain tile walls, ANSI A118.10 waterproofing) and from $12,500 for Walk-In Sanctuary (glass enclosure included). Tub demolition and haul-away is included in every tier. Prices are confirmed and locked in writing after a free in-home visit.
Acrylic Entry: 2–3 days · Composite Stone: 2–3 days · Stone + Tile: 5–9 days · Walk-In Sanctuary: 4–6 days. Tile tiers take longer because tile, grout and waterproofing need cure time. Your timeline is confirmed in writing before work begins.
Yes. Tub demolition and full haul-away is included in every tier — Acrylic Entry through Walk-In Sanctuary.
Most conversions do not require drain relocation. If relocation is needed, it is identified at the free in-home visit and priced in writing before any work begins.
If we find rot, mold or moisture-damaged substrate during demolition, work stops, it is photographed, and a written change order with exact pricing is issued before anything continues.
Glass is included in the Walk-In Sanctuary tier. For Acrylic Entry, Composite Stone and Stone + Tile, a glass enclosure is an add-on quoted after the free measurement.
Yes. Walk-In Sanctuary is designed for accessibility — zero-threshold entry, linear drain, grab bars on blocking and a fold-down seat. Grab bars can also be added to any tier as a written upgrade.
Showerly serves 12 towns in the Triangle: Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale and Clayton. Free in-home visits are available throughout this service area at no charge.
