Tub to Shower Conversion Puyallup WA
Remove Old Bathtubs and Build Modern Walk-In Showers in Puyallup, WA
Swap Your Outdated Bathtub
Converting a low-utility, difficult-to-climb bathtub into a spacious walk-in shower is one of the most practical master bathroom improvements you can make.
Our plumbing and installation crew manages the entire removal: dismantling old metal or fiberglass inserts, dry-rot stud remediation, re-piping the layout drains, and scaling mud slopes. We finish the space with custom wall panels and sliding glass panels.
Because shower stalls require larger drains, we expand the waste line from 1.5 inches to 2 inches to ensure rapid drainage.
Benefits of Swapping Your Tub
Maximize floor area and improve household safety with modern shower conversions.
Safer Grab Entries
Stepping over a 15-inch high tub apron is a major fall hazard. A low 3-inch curb makes entry safe and simple.
Optimize Space footprint
The standard layout size of an alcove tub (60" x 30") fits a spacious custom home shower perfectly.
Premium Contemporary Look
Replace old plastic surrounds with contemporary porcelain, glass-niches, and premium hardware options.
Advanced Waste Pipe & Drain Enlargement
Because standard tubs drain more slowly than high-pressure showers, plumbing codes mandate expanding the sewer pipes from 1.5 inches to 2 inches.
We drill the joists programmatically and build a new, clean ABS drain run with proper slope gradients. This prevents backing up and overflowing.
We install heavy-duty pressure-balance brass valves behind the tiles to protect against hot water temperature flashes.
Select Premium Design Materials
We partner with top-tier local Washington tile and fixture distributors to supply a wide array of premium materials.
Acrylic & Polymer Wall Surrounds
Smooth, non-porous sheets that resist hard-water stains and wipe clean instantly with a squeegee.
Designer Mosaic Base Tiles
Glass hexagons, ceramic subway, or natural stones that match your bathroom flooring.
Sliding Glass Panel Doors
Premium bypass sliding doors on rolling hardware brackets that maximize space efficiency.
Permit and Jurisdiction Considerations for Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Puyallup
Our local operations maintain strict alignment with the Washington State Building Code (WAC 51-50) and City of Puyallup permit requirements. You can trust our crew to handle the rules seamlessly.
Drain System Upsizing Code
Federal and state plumbing codes mandate upsizing the old tub drain line to a 2-inch pipe when converting to a standalone shower.
Adequate Venting prep
Correct venting loops are routed out through the roof studs to ensure water flows smoothly without air bubbling or backing up.
