Why Ottawa homeowners choose us.
Twelve-plus years converting Ottawa tubs to walk-in showers means we know what tends to hide under a 30-year-old cast-iron tub — rotted subfloor, undersized drain, missed waterproofing. We deal with all of it, in writing, at a fixed price. Every conversion goes in with a full waterproof membrane, a licensed plumber on the valve change, and the same Triple Promise on the contract: fixed price, on time, fully warrantied.

What tub to shower conversion ottawa costs in Ottawa.
$5,000–$12,000+
Most Ottawa tub-to-shower conversions land in the $6K–$9K range; curbless walk-ins with frameless glass and a new valve push toward $12K+. The number moves on what we find behind the tub — rotted subfloor or an undersized drain adds cost, and we tell you up front. Once you sign, the price is locked.

Straight answers, no fluff.
- Q.01
How long does a tub to shower conversion in Ottawa take?
Most conversions wrap in 4–6 working days from demo to final walkthrough. A standard alcove conversion with a tiled walk-in runs about a week; simpler acrylic conversions can finish in 3 days. We commit to the timeline in writing before you sign.
- Q.02
Do I need a permit?
When we convert the drain from a tub to a shower, plumbing changes usually require a City of Ottawa permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and clear it before your final walkthrough.
- Q.03
Will losing the tub hurt my resale value?
Only if it's your home's only tub. Most Ottawa buyers want at least one tub in the house — typically the main family bath. Converting an ensuite or a second bathroom is usually a clean win on both daily use and resale.
- Q.04
Can you do a curbless walk-in?
Yes — curbless or low-threshold pans are standard for us. They require dropping or building up the subfloor and a properly sloped membrane pan, and we price them in writing before you sign.
- Q.05
What if you find rot or other damage behind the tub?
We document it with photos, give you a written change-order price before any extra work starts, and you decide. The fixed price you signed for the original scope doesn't move on its own.
