A traditional tub or shower curb doesn't just make bathing harder — it's a tripping hazard every single time you get in or out, wet floor and all. A curbless, walk-in conversion removes that step entirely, using a sloped floor and a linear drain to keep water contained without a raised edge. For homeowners using a walker or wheelchair, it's often the difference between needing help to bathe and being able to do it independently.
What a walk-in & curbless shower conversion project usually includes
- Removing the existing tub or shower pan down to the subfloor
- Reframing and waterproofing the floor with a slight slope toward a drain
- Installing a low-profile or linear drain and new waterproof wall surfaces
- In some cases, widening the doorway or adding a fold-down bench and a hand-held shower head

Frequently asked questions — Walk-In & Curbless Shower Conversion
How long does a shower conversion take?
It depends on the scope, but most curbless shower conversions take a few days to a couple of weeks, since it usually involves removing the old tub or shower down to the subfloor and rebuilding the waterproofing from scratch.
Do I have to change my whole bathroom, or just the shower?
Just the shower or tub area, in most cases. Some homeowners choose to update the vanity or flooring at the same time since the bathroom is already under construction, but it's not required.
Is a curbless shower only for wheelchair users?
No — it's popular with anyone who wants one less thing to trip over, including people with no mobility limitations today who are planning ahead.
