A tub-to-shower conversion replaces an unused bathtub with a custom-fit walk-in shower in a single install day. In the Pittsburgh area a standard Just Bath conversion starts at $8,100, comes with a lifetime warranty, and is installed by our own crew, never subcontractors.

The most-requested Just Bath service
If you bought your house with a bathtub you never use, you are in good company. The Pittsburgh region is full of homes where the master bathtub became a glorified shelf the day the kids moved out. Just Bath converts that bathtub into a clean, contemporary walk-in shower, and we do it in one install day. Here is how a one-day bathroom remodel actually comes together.
What the conversion includes
- Existing bathtub removed and properly disposed
- New low-threshold acrylic shower base, custom-cut to your footprint
- Acrylic wall surround in your choice of six designer colors
- Two recessed shelves and one grab bar built into the surround
- Premium shower head + control valve (fixed or hand-held)
- Optional add-ons: frameless shower door, folded teak seat, foot rest
The base price covers everything most Pittsburgh-area bathrooms need. Anything you add is broken out clearly on your written quote. No day-of upcharges.
A lower step-in, not just a nicer one
There is a quieter reason these conversions are our most-requested job: stepping over a tub wall gets harder every year. Trading the tub for a low-threshold acrylic base drops the step-in from roughly fifteen inches to a few, and the built-in grab bar (with an optional fold-down seat) makes the daily shower genuinely safer without the room ever looking clinical. It is the most popular first move for homeowners who want to stay in the house they love. If a deep soak and warm-water therapy matter more than a walk-in shower, a walk-in tub may be the better fit.
Designer-led, then installer-led
A Just Bath designer measures your existing bathtub footprint, listens to how you actually shower, and helps you choose between white walls (clean, timeless, brighter bathroom) and color walls (Veincut Gray, White Pearl, and four other designer finishes that read like real stone).
On install day, our own crew handles every step. Tub removal, plumbing reconfiguration, base seating, surround install, fixture install, walk-through. Same team, start to finish.
Two reasons families pick us over the big-box chains
No subcontractors. The crew that installs your shower works for Just Bath. We trained them, we pay them, and we are the ones who pick up the phone if something needs attention later.
The lifetime warranty is real. Written, registered to your address, transferable to a future homeowner. It covers materials for life, and workmanship for a full year. We honor it ourselves, no 1-800 service center.
What actually moves the price
The $8,100 starting point covers a standard one-day conversion. What pushes a project toward the upper end is usually one of a few things: a cracked pan or soft subfloor we have to repair first, new flooring outside the wet area, premium fixtures or a frameless glass door, or a second-floor bathroom with tight access. All of it is broken out on your written quote before any work is booked, never sprung on you on install day.
