Replace an unused tub with a shower
Bath Renovation converts unused bathtubs into full-size showers for Mesa homeowners — the tub comes out, the shower pan is rebuilt and waterproofed, and the space is finished with tile, glass and new fixtures.

Reviews that name the specific job — a shower remodel, a tub-to-shower conversion — carry more weight than generic praise.
James
Mix the sources — Google, Facebook, Angi, Houzz — so the proof does not all come from one place.

Six to nine real reviews is plenty for the homepage — link the rest to the Google profile.

Reviews that mention the neighbourhood help the site surface for that area across Mesa and the East Valley.

Project Completion
What each job actually involved and how long it took on site — so you know what to expect from yours.
The garden tub came out and a marble-look walk-in shower went in its place, with a built-in bench, a recessed niche, brushed brass fixtures and a clear glass door.
An ageing-in-place conversion: the floor structure was lowered for a fully curbless entry, with blocking added for grab bars and a fold-down seat.
A small guest bathroom gained usable space when the tub was replaced with a shower and a sliding glass door that clears the vanity.
If the bathtub in your Mesa home only gets used as a place to store shampoo bottles, it is taking up around fifteen square feet of a room that probably does not have any to spare. A tub to shower conversion turns that footprint into a shower you actually use every day — usually without moving a single wall.
Three reasons come up again and again on site visits. The first is simple daily use: nobody in the house takes baths, so the tub is dead space. The second is getting in and out safely — stepping over a fourteen-inch tub wall stops being routine as knees and hips age, and a low-threshold or curbless shower removes that risk entirely. The third is how the room reads. A glass-walled shower makes a small bathroom look considerably larger than a tub with a curtain ever will.
The visible part is tile and glass. The part that decides whether the shower is still sound in fifteen years happens underneath it.
Entry height is the big one. A low-threshold curb is straightforward in almost any home. A fully curbless shower needs the floor structure lowered or the drain moved, so it has to be decided before demolition, not after. Beyond that: a niche or two for bottles, a fold-down or built-in bench, frameless glass versus a framed door, and blocking behind the tile for grab bars — worth adding even if the bars themselves come later, because retrofitting blocking means opening the wall again.
A straightforward conversion inside the existing alcove takes roughly five to seven working days on site. Cost is driven by whether the drain moves, whether the opening changes size, the tile you choose and how much glass the design uses. Bath Renovation quotes a fixed written price before anything is ordered, with the allowances spelled out, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Not every home should lose its last bathtub. If you have young children, or you are preparing to sell and the house has no tub left, the job you actually want is the opposite one — see shower to tub conversion in Mesa. And if the bathroom needs more than the wet area rethought, the full bathroom remodeling route covers layout, vanity, flooring and finishes as one coordinated project.

Most conversions take about five to seven working days on site once materials are on hand. Moving the drain, changing the opening size or adding a bench extends that a little. You get both the start date and the finish date in writing before demolition begins.
If the drain or supply lines move, the City of Mesa requires a plumbing permit and inspection. A straight swap inside the existing footprint often does not. Bath Renovation handles the permit and the inspection either way.
It can, if the home has no other tub. Buyers with young children usually want at least one. If your home is down to a single bathing space, it is worth talking through before the tub goes — and if you have already gone too far the other way, see the shower to tub conversion page.
Yes. A curbless entry needs the floor structure lowered or the drain relocated, which is decided at the site visit. Grab bar blocking, a fold-down seat, comfort-height controls and a hand-held shower can all be built in.
In most Mesa homes the standard 60-inch alcove becomes a 60-inch shower with no framing changes at all. Keeping the footprint is the fastest and least expensive route, and it still looks nothing like the tub that was there before.
