Troy homes and this kind of project
A tub-to-shower conversion in Troy means working in a historic center ringed by 1990s-and-later subdivisions, 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: a historic center, 1990s to current subdivisions, and rural property surrounding town.
One-piece fiberglass units were set before the walls were framed and have to be cut out in sections.
What we find inside Troy homes
Builder-grade kitchens and baths from the early 2000s are due. Layouts are straightforward and respond well to new cabinetry, tops and flooring.
One-piece fiberglass tubs, cultured marble vanity tops and corner whirlpools define bathrooms in Troy homes of this period. Tile was often set over moisture-resistant drywall, which has since failed. Everything wet gets rebuilt from the studs.
What is included
We keep Troy 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 Troy, from subdivisions along Highway 47 and Highway 61 to historic Main Street.
What we watch for
On slab-level baths in Troy, the drain is in concrete. Upsizing it means chipping a small section of slab, which we price up front.
Troy properties tend to be subdivision lots that often back to open fields, 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 Troy
The City of Troy or Lincoln County is where we file for a tub-to-shower conversion in Troy, and the job will see a plumbing inspection for the upsized drain.
Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from subdivision covenants, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on one to two weeks of site work for a tub-to-shower conversion in Troy, once permits and materials are in hand.
Troy is straight north on Highway 61, a little 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 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 Troy; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Troy
We price tub-to-shower conversions in Troy from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Glass: sliding bypass, hinged frameless, or a fixed panel with open entry.
- Access to the drain from below. An unfinished basement under the bath makes the plumbing faster.
More detail
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 Troy page.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Troy: common questions
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take in Troy?
One to two weeks, plus glass lead time. In Troy, permit review by the City of Troy or Lincoln County and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Who will be working in my Troy 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 Troy or Lincoln County requires them.
What about the window in my tub wall?
Common and solvable. We wrap the opening in waterproof membrane, slope the sill, and use a vinyl or composite window or glass block.
