Replace an outdated tub with a shower that provides more space, easier access, and a modern look. From accessible designs to custom walk-in showers, we create solutions tailored to your needs.
Service Overview
Converting Your Tub Into a Shower
Replacing a traditional bathtub with a modern shower is a practical way to update your bathroom and make better use of space while creating a cleaner, more streamlined look. Many homeowners choose walk-in showers with custom tile, glass enclosures, and updated fixtures that blend naturally with the overall style of the bathroom.
For easier access, tub-to-shower conversions can include low-threshold or barrier-free designs that make stepping in and out safer and more comfortable. Built with durable, low-maintenance materials, these showers are designed to resist moisture, mold, and everyday wear.
tailored to your needs
Chesapeake Tub-To-Shower Design Options
Customize your new shower with features that improve comfort and functionality. A tub-to-shower conversion is a quick, affordable way to refresh your bathroom.
Tailored Design
We help design a new shower that fits within your existing bathtub footprint while improving comfort, access, and daily usability. From layout and wall options to storage and fixture placement, each detail is selected to make the conversion feel intentional and easy to use.
Plumbing Updates
Because the project involves replacing a tub with a shower, plumbing updates may be needed to support the new drain, valve, and fixture placement. Our team coordinates these updates so the converted shower functions properly and reliably.
Custom Tile Work
Custom tile can give your new walk-in shower a more finished, upgraded look. We can install tile for the shower walls, floor, niche, or accent areas to create a durable design that complements the rest of your bathroom.
Integrated Storage Options
Built-in storage solutions help keep shower essentials organized and within easy reach. Popular options include recessed niches, corner shelving, bench seating with storage, and other features designed to maximize functionality without sacrificing style.
Modern Fixtures
A tub-to-shower conversion is a great time to upgrade outdated fixtures with options that better fit your routine. We can install modern showerheads, handheld sprayers, controls, and coordinated finishes that make the new shower more convenient and polished.
Glass Enclosures & Shower Doors
Glass doors or enclosures can make a converted shower feel brighter, more open, and easier to access. Depending on your layout, we can help select a sliding, hinged, or frameless-style option that works well within the existing bathroom space.
Accessibility Features & Non-Slip Surfaces
Tub-to-shower conversions are often chosen to make the bathroom safer and easier to use. We can include low-threshold entry, grab bars, built-in seating, handheld showerheads, and non-slip surfaces to improve comfort and accessibility.

I had a great experience with remodeling my tub into a shower. Started with Home Depot who uses Amercian Contracting Services for remodeling bathrooms. I had a visit from John Wood who came out to look at the scope of work and he was friendly and fair. He wanted to understand what my needs were and gave me a veryl fair price. I was then transferred to my remodel team once I signed all documents and that was Rob Allen and Keifer and they were great to work with and communicated each step to me. I would definitely give them another shot for future remodeling deals.

We had our bathroom remodeled and they took it down to the studs. They were efficient with getting the job done and had the workman organized so that it didn’t take long at all. They were very accommodating, easy to work with and our new bathroom is beautiful. I highly recommend American Contracting services and Grant, our foreman, who we loved working with.

We are pleased with our bathroom remodel. This company was very professional and attentive to our needs and wants. The communication between company and customer was excellent. I want to give a shout-out to John and Richard for answering my calls whenever I had questions and concerns. To Leo(who we didn’t get to say goodbye to before he left), for coordinating the daily work schedule and to Michael, who stepped in without missing a beat and made sure that the job was complete to our liking. Shout-out to Steve (Professional Tile Man), you do amazing work and thank you for those days that you asked to stay late to finish. Shout-out to all the team and thank you for a job well done. Salute!!

My husband and I were anxious for our first major remodel- the primary bathroom. We had heard horror stories about contractors that under performed and did not follow through with what was promised. American Contracting Services dispelled those fears. Brandon, John, and Richard were attent ive, detailed, and strove for excellence. No request was too big and I was blown away with their communication and follow through… not to mention I love my bathroom! They have some of the most talented subs in the business. Rusty the electrician was very helpful. Steven’s tile work is meticulous and that of a seasoned artist. Overall, we would recommend ACS and would welcome an opportunity to work with them in the future.
