Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Towson, 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 Towson Homes
The Rodgers Forge, Stoneleigh and Anneslie rowhomes were built between the 1920s and the 1950s, and their bathrooms have barely changed since: a heavy steel tub set into a plaster-walled alcove, galvanized supply lines that have been narrowing with corrosion for decades, and a single full bathroom serving the whole house. A tub-to-shower conversion here is as much a plumbing project as a remodeling one.
We remove the old tub — in a rowhome that means carrying it down a narrow pre-war staircase, not out a ground-floor door — and open the wall to see what's behind it. In most of these houses we recommend replacing the exposed galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX while the wall is open, because they're at the end of their life and it's the one time it's easy. We check the subfloor at the shared party wall too, where slow leaks tend to hide.
Then a custom-measured grout-free acrylic base and surround with a low threshold, fitted to the existing alcove. No multi-week tile demolition in a one-bathroom house — we plan the work so the room is out of service for the shortest time possible, and we confirm that window at the free measurement.

What We See in Towson Bathrooms

Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Towson — FAQs
Should we replace the old galvanized pipes during the conversion?
In most Rodgers Forge and Stoneleigh homes, yes — the galvanized supply lines are 70+ years old and corroding shut from the inside. Doing it while the wall is already open for the conversion is far cheaper than a separate job later. We'll show you the pipe condition when the tub is out.
How long will our only bathroom be unusable?
We schedule single-bathroom conversions specifically to keep that window short, and an acrylic conversion avoids the weeks a tile remodel takes. Your exact timeline is confirmed at the free measurement.
Can you get a new tub or shower base up our narrow rowhome stairs?
Yes. Our components are measured and cut to fit the space, including tight pre-war staircases and landings. Getting materials in and the old tub out is part of what we plan before installation day.
