Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Weldon Spring, Missouri

Weldon Spring homes and this kind of project

Because Weldon Spring is made up of custom homes on an acre or more and the estates of Whitmoor, 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: custom homes from the 1970s onward on large lots, golf community estates and recent luxury construction.

In larger homes this is usually done in guest baths while the primary gets a full rebuild.

What we find inside Weldon Spring homes

Homes from the 1980s and 1990s here were well built but are heavily dated: oak everything, brass, closed formal rooms. Whole-floor renovations that open the plan, replace the staircase balustrade and rework the kitchen are typical.

Primary bathrooms in Weldon Spring are large, and owners want them to feel like a spa: steam showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, custom vanities and natural stone. Steam and stone each have technical requirements we design for from the beginning.

What is included

Our Weldon Spring 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 Weldon Spring, from Persimmon Trace to the Highway 94 and Wolfrum Road area and Whitmoor Country Club.

What we watch for

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

Working on rolling, wooded sites with real slope, as we do in Weldon Spring, we plan access for a plumber and a tile setter before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Weldon Spring

For a tub-to-shower conversion at a Weldon Spring address, the paperwork goes to the City of Weldon Spring or St. Charles County, depending on the parcel. Expect a plumbing inspection for the upsized drain.

Interior work like this normally does not involve gated-community and subdivision architectural review, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.

Schedule and getting to you

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

Weldon Spring is down I-64 to Highway 94, 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 moves the price in Weldon Spring

We price tub-to-shower conversions in Weldon Spring 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.
