Ellisville homes and this kind of project
A tub-to-shower conversion in Ellisville means working in ranches and two-stories from the 1960s through the 1980s, so on our first visit we look at drain access from below, the condition of the valve and whether a window sits in the tub wall.
The housing stock here: 1960s to 1980s ranches and two-stories with some newer construction.
Cast iron tubs from this period are heavy to remove and often have a window above them.
What we find inside Ellisville homes
Closed floor plans and original bathrooms are usual. Removing a kitchen wall typically calls for an engineered beam.
The pink, blue and green tile bathrooms of Ellisville's mid-century homes were set in mortar over wire lath, and they come out by the bucket. Underneath are cast iron and galvanized lines at the end of their service life. We replace piping, add a fan where none existed and rebuild.
What is included
Our Ellisville conversions include tub and surround removal, drain upsizing to two inches, a new shower valve, framing corrections, blocking, backer and membrane, base, wall finish, glass and accessories, plus drywall and paint repair at the edges.
We take on tub-to-shower conversion work across Ellisville, from neighborhoods near Clarkson and Manchester roads to the Bluebird Park area.
What we watch for
On slab-level baths in Ellisville, the drain is in concrete. Upsizing it means chipping a small section of slab, which we price up front.
Site logistics matter: Ellisville has shaded, established lots, so we agree with you where a plumber and a tile setter will park, store material and carry out debris.
Permits and approvals in Ellisville
The City of Ellisville is where we file for a tub-to-shower conversion in Ellisville, and the job will see a plumbing inspection for the upsized drain.
Interior work like this normally does not involve older subdivision trustees, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on one to two weeks of site work for a tub-to-shower conversion in Ellisville, once permits and materials are in hand.
Ellisville sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 to Clarkson Road and south, under forty minutes. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.
What our tub-to-shower conversions looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Ellisville; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Ellisville
We price tub-to-shower conversions in Ellisville 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.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main tub-to-shower conversions page. More about the area is on our Ellisville page.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Ellisville: common questions

One to two weeks, plus glass lead time. For Ellisville we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Who will be working in my Ellisville home during a tub-to-shower conversion?
A plumber and a tile setter, scheduled and supervised by one Henry Hill project lead who is your single point of contact. Licensed trades are used wherever the City of Ellisville requires them.
