Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Potomac, 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 Potomac Homes
In Potomac, the tub-to-shower conversion is usually a secondary bathroom. The primary suite has its own story — the corner garden tub — but the hall and guest baths in these 1960s-to-90s homes have a standard builder tub-shower combo that no one uses as a tub, with a tiled or fiberglass surround that's dated.
We remove the tub and surround, reset the drain for a shower, check the wall and subfloor, and install a custom-measured grout-free acrylic base and surround with a low threshold. In the older Potomac Village and Palatine homes we also look at the supply lines; in the newer houses it's a clean, predictable swap.
Some Potomac homes near Great Falls are on well water, and hard water is rough on tile and grout — a mineral film that never fully comes off. That same film wipes off a non-porous acrylic surround, which makes acrylic the low-maintenance choice out here.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Potomac — FAQs
We want to keep the garden tub but convert the hall bath — can you do just that?
Yes. The hall or guest bath conversion is a contained project, completely separate from the primary suite. We remove that tub, reset the drain and fit a grout-free acrylic walk-in shower in the same footprint.
We're on well water near Great Falls — does that matter for the shower?
It’s a reason to choose grout-free acrylic. Hard well water leaves a mineral film on porous grout and tile that’s hard to remove; the same film wipes off a non-porous acrylic surround.
Will the new shower fit the same space as the tub?
Yes. The conversion uses the existing alcove and drain location, so a custom-measured acrylic base and surround fit the same footprint without moving plumbing.
