Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Cottleville, Missouri

Cottleville homes and this kind of project

Because Cottleville is made up of newer custom and semi-custom homes, the first thing we check for a tub-to-shower conversion here is drain access from below, the condition of the valve and whether a window sits in the tub wall.

The housing stock here: newer custom and semi-custom two-stories and one-and-a-half stories, villa communities, and a handful of older homes in the original village.

In newer homes the conversion is quick because access and piping are straightforward.

What we find inside Cottleville homes

Kitchens are usually already large and open. The work is refinement: cabinetry to the ceiling, a reworked island, a butler's pantry, better lighting. Primary baths often have the space for a large curbless shower and a freestanding tub.

Bathrooms in recent Cottleville construction are functional and bland: fiberglass showers, cultured tops and sheet mirrors. Upgrading to tile, glass and furniture-style vanities is straightforward because the plumbing is new and accessible.

What is included

We keep Cottleville conversions tidy: floor protection from the entry to the bath, a zip wall at the door, and the old tub cut up and carried out rather than dragged through your hallway.

We take on tub-to-shower conversion work across Cottleville, from Old Town Cottleville to the Village at Twin Creeks area and neighborhoods along Highway N and Weiss Road.

What we watch for

On slab-level baths in Cottleville, the drain is in concrete. Upsizing it means chipping a small section of slab, which we price up front.

Cottleville properties tend to be larger lots in recently built subdivisions, and that affects how we stage materials, where a plumber and a tile setter park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Cottleville

In Cottleville, a tub-to-shower conversion is reviewed by the City of Cottleville. What follows is a plumbing inspection for the upsized drain.

Interior work like this normally does not involve active architectural committees that expect materials to match the house, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a tub-to-shower conversion in Cottleville generally runs one to two weeks.

Cottleville is down I-64 and across on Highway N, a bit over twenty minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

What moves the price in Cottleville

We price tub-to-shower conversions in Cottleville from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Tile versus panel walls, and how high they run.
• Glass: sliding bypass, hinged frameless, or a fixed panel with open entry.
