Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Maryland Heights, Missouri

Maryland Heights homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a tub-to-shower conversion in Maryland Heights is spent on drain access from below, the condition of the valve and whether a window sits in the tub wall, which tells us how 1960s and 1970s ranches and split-levels were put together.

The housing stock here: 1960s and 1970s ranches, split-levels and two-stories, plus condominiums and apartments.

Cast iron tubs from this period are heavy to remove and often have a window above them.

What we find inside Maryland Heights homes

Original kitchens and bathrooms are common, and so is limited electrical capacity. Remodels usually include a panel evaluation.

The pink, blue and green tile bathrooms of Maryland Heights'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 Maryland Heights 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 Maryland Heights, from neighborhoods near Dorsett, McKelvey and Fee Fee roads to the Westport area.

What we watch for

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

Site logistics matter: Maryland Heights has modest, mature 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 Maryland Heights

The City of Maryland Heights is where we file for a tub-to-shower conversion in Maryland Heights, and the job will see a plumbing inspection for the upsized drain.

Interior work like this normally does not involve city zoning and, for commercial space, landlord rules, 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 Maryland Heights, once permits and materials are in hand.

Maryland Heights is I-70 east or Highway 364 across the river, about thirty-five 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 Maryland Heights

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

• Access to the drain from below. An unfinished basement under the bath makes the plumbing faster.
• Prefabricated base versus tiled pan.
