Tub to Shower Conversion in Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin

Who we help and
how we solve it

Getting older and want better accessibility

Stepping over a high tub wall can feel risky. A tub to shower conversion lowers the entry and places support exactly where you need it. During your consultation, we talk through grab bar placement, bench style, and the right handheld for reach and comfort.

The base has a textured surface for footing. The wall system is nonporous, so routine cleaning takes minutes. The goal is independence and confidence every morning.

Just moved in and want a bathroom you actually love

The house checks the boxes, but the old tub kills the vibe. We replace the bathtub with a shower that fits how you live.

You choose a clean wall pattern, glass that matches your hardware, and storage that keeps bottles off the floor. We help you pick finishes that look current without being hard to care for. The result is a fresh, simple shower that makes the room feel like yours from day one.

Long-time owner ready to modernize

You have wanted to update the bathroom for a while, and a full gut is not the plan. Converting the tub opens the room, uses space better, and trims the daily upkeep.

We focus on a layout that feels larger, a base that drains well, and walls that do not trap mildew. Add a seat if you want it. Add grab bars if you want peace of mind. The look is modern without feeling cold.

WHAT TO
EXPECT WHEN
YOU HIRE SIDEX

You will start with a free in home consultation. We measure carefully, check plumbing, and talk through design, storage, and safety. You receive a written proposal with exact scope, price, and an estimated installation window. No guesswork.

On installation day we protect the path to the bathroom, shut off water as needed, and remove the old tub and surround. We inspect the subfloor and framing. If we find soft spots or uneven studs, we correct them before the new system goes in. The new shower base is leveled and secured. Wall panels are cut to size and sealed. Doors and accessories are installed last so everything lines up cleanly. Before we leave, you get a walkthrough on operation and care.

Permits, Plumbing, & Code

Some municipalities require a simple permit when a fixture changes. If a permit is needed, we explain the steps and assist with the paperwork.

If the drain needs to be shifted or a valve upgraded, we handle this work with licensed professionals, ensuring everything meets local code standards. Floors and nearby walls are protected during demolition and installation.

care and maintenance icon

Care & Maintenance

Keep it simple. Rinse the shower and wipe the walls with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh abrasives. The surface is designed to shed water and resist buildup, so a quick weekly wipe is usually all it takes. We leave you with care tips that match your exact selections.

Your consultant will provide an exact quote after measurements and design are complete. Timelines vary with scope and scheduling. Promotional financing is available for qualified buyers, and we can review options during your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
Most projects install quickly once materials are ready and the scope is set. Your consultant will provide a personalized timeline for your home and explain how to speed up or slow down the process.
Do I need to keep one bathtub for home resale value?
If your home has more than one bathroom, many owners convert one tub and keep another. Families with young children often prefer at least one tub in the home. Your consultant will help you weigh comfort now against possible resale plans.
Can you add accessibility features?
Yes. We place grab bars at the right height, add a built-in seat or a fold-down bench, and specify a handheld that reaches where you need it. The goal is to support your needs while offering a bathroom look you love.
What maintenance is required?
Acrylic walls and bases are nonporous, so regular wiping with mild soap and water is usually enough. We will leave simple care instructions that match your exact materials.
Do you handle permits?
We follow local codes and assist with any required permits. If inspections are needed, we coordinate scheduling and make sure documentation is complete.

Reviews from Real Customers

it was a pleasure working with the young man was very courteous and made sure there waas no snow tracked into the home and very pleased with the windows
I loved everything about Sidex... from the quick, personal phone calls answered, to quick responses to all questions, to Steve my installer. My shower install is beautiful. Excellent company all around. Highly, highly recommended!
Steve from Sidex was nothing short of amazing!! From start to finish he did better then I could have imagined. He was knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and just a blast to have around during this process. Having someone that was so down to earth helped my anxiety and put my mind at ease. He went out of his way for me to make sure this got done and there were no issues. If anyone needs some remodeling done please call Sidex and request Steve! I cant recommend him enough.
I really had a “WOW” experience when I first saw my new soaking tub and shower surround!! I was even better than l expected. I’m truly satisfied.
