Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Annapolis, MD
We remove the old tub down to the studs, reset the drain, and install a low-threshold, grout-free acrylic walk-in shower.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion for Annapolis Homes
In Annapolis, a tub-to-shower conversion is usually solving two problems at once. The first is the tub itself — in the older Eastport and downtown homes it is often cast iron, chipped and stained, set into a small tiled alcove that has been recaulked a dozen times. The second is the salt air, which works its way into every grout line and loosens tile faster here than it does inland.
We remove the old tub — cast iron comes out in sections so it never has to be dragged through the house — check the framing and the original supply lines, and install a grout-free acrylic base and surround with a low threshold. Because acrylic is non-porous, there is no grout for the Annapolis humidity to get into, so the finished shower wipes clean and stays that way.
In the Parole and Annapolis Roads homes, which are a bit newer, it is a more straightforward swap of a builder tub. In the Hillsmere and Bay Ridge houses near the water we pay extra attention to what is behind the wall before sealing anything up.
Every project starts with a free in-home consultation: exact digital measurements, a 3D preview of the finished shower, and a price locked in for 12 months. Our crews travel to Annapolis from Howard County, and we confirm scheduling when you call.
What We See in Annapolis Bathrooms
Annapolis ranges from 18th- and 19th-century homes downtown to mid-century houses in Eastport and Hillsmere and newer construction around Parole. Waterfront humidity is hard on tile and grout, so mold-resistant surfaces matter here.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Annapolis — FAQs
Will a new acrylic shower stand up to the Annapolis salt air better than my old tile?
Yes. Salt air and humidity get into porous grout and loosen tile over time. A grout-free acrylic surround has no grout lines and is non-porous, so the moisture has nowhere to go and the shower wipes clean.
Can you remove a cast-iron tub from an older Eastport or downtown Annapolis home?
Yes. We break cast-iron tubs down in place and carry them out in sections rather than hauling them through finished rooms, then inspect the framing, subfloor and old supply lines before the new base goes in.
