Tub to Shower Conversion in Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin

Tub to Shower Conversion in Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin

If you are ready to convert your bathtub to a shower, you want a team that explains the work in plain English, shows up on time, and leaves your bathroom clean. SiDEX has helped homeowners across Milwaukee and the surrounding counties replace their tub with a walk-in shower that is safer, easier to maintain, and tailored to daily life.

You will meet with a local specialist, see sensible design choices, and receive a clear price before any work begins.

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.

Materials that make life easier

Your shower walls and base are made from durable acrylic. The material is nonporous, so it resists stains and wipes clean with mild soap and water. There is no grout to scrub. The base surface is textured for better footing.

Glass options range from framed to frameless with finishes that match common bathroom hardware. Storage can be built in with niches and shelves, so bottles are not sitting on the floor.

Local accountability without the runaround

You work with a Wisconsin team at every step. You meet a local consultant, our local office schedules your project, and your installers are trained on the systems we put in.

If you have a question after installation, you call the same number and talk to people who know your project. Homeowners choose a local installer because service is faster and communication is simpler.

Cost, timeline, and financing

Every bathroom is different. Price depends on the wall system you choose, the type of glass, any plumbing moves, and accessories like seating and grab bars.

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.

Permits, plumbing, and 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

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.

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.

Customization that fits your home

You can tailor the base height, wall pattern, and storage to your needs. You can choose framed or frameless glass. You can match hardware in matte black, chrome, or brushed finishes. If safety is the priority, you can add a bench, grab bars, and a handheld. If style is the priority, you can choose a pattern that looks sharp and stays that way with simple cleaning.

Reviews from Real Customers

My home windows were replaced by Sidex who displayed great customer service beyond my expectations. They installed the top recommended energy efficient windows with double pane, Low-E glass and vinyl. They are beautiful!
Extremely pleased with Sidex Home Improvement. The shower redo was completed in one day. The young man, Steven did an excellent job. He worked diligently until completed. Will definitely recommend Sidex to everyone!
Everyone at Sidex made this process so easy! We had a tub to shower conversion. Total came out to about 17k due to unexpected issues with our drain. Installation still only took 3 days, Steve was reliable and gave excellent advice for the rest of the bathroom! Absolutely recommending this company to all my friends!
Very great service from start to finish. Easy financing, great installation from Steve. And great customer service from Jenna. Would highly recommend them to everyone!
Ran into a snake scheduling, but Joe was real quick to resolve the issue. Got somebody there on time abuse this company before for all of my home projects and I’ve never had an any problems during the process of completing the project. Will definitely use them again 30 year customer
I had the good fortune of finding SiDEX on the internet for my bathroom tub to walk in shower conversion.
First contact with the salespeople, Rob and Joe, was a delight. No hard sell. They listened carefully to my needs, asked great questions and developed a plan. For an added layer of reassurance, they gave me their numbers in case I had further questions/problems.
Within the time frame they estimated, Jenna came to measure the job.
Then Steve arrived to do the work. He worked straight through the day and into the evening to finish the job in one day! His workmanship was excellent. He was personable, courteous and very knowledgeable. He found problems from a previous remodel and fixed them.
Communication throughout the process by all involved was great.
Most impressive of all was that each employee spoke highly of their company and SiDEX’s owner. That pride and enthusiasm for an employer is seldom expressed nowadays.
This company and their employees ROCK! I am thrilled with my new bathroom shower and highly recommend them for your remodeling needs.
Highly recommend! A few windows replaced and all around they were fantastic! We enjoyed working with them and plan on doing more in the future with sidex.
Sidex was very easy to work with. They kept me up to date on delivery and start times. They even changed the start date for painting to get done. Love the new windows and siding! Totally transformed my house! Highly recommend Sidex!!
The employees are friendly, confident in their work and knowledgeable. Steve, who put the shower in was amazing and so friendly. Made me feel at ease!!!!!
The windows look amazing and the crew did an amazing job. Everything was cleaned up and there was no mess. They got here around 930 am and we're done before 3 pm. Couldn't be happier
Sidex does amazing work, and they are always willing to make time in case of any service needs. Jenna and Steve are awesome and great at what they do!
Jenna is very responsive, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied before she leaves the project! I appreciate Jenna and the Sidex team. Thank you to the entire team for making this shower project that much easier.!
Can't beat that smaller business quality!
We moved into our house in 2016 and have had many door to door salesmen attempt to grab our pockets. A few years ago, Sidex came knocking and at the time windows weren't on our "to-do" list, however we entertained the free estimate for future planning. The price seemed astronomical, however it was for all 22 windows and we had no other bid to compare it to, so although it seemed high, it was a missed opportunity; windows only increase in price. Fast forward to this year, our old windows hadn't healed by themselves. Most of the windows didnt open, had broken locks or didnt stay closed/would fall from the top down. We knew it was time. A big window chain came knocking (you know the one) and we figured it was time to get serious. Their price was SO FAR above from the price we had received from Sidex just a few years prior. We thought we must be doomed to live with the broken windows a few years longer. That is until Sidex gave us a second, unprompted, knock. And we welcomed them in for the second time. Their number was higher than the last time, however with inflation this was something we anticipated AND it was half the price of the big windows chain (you know the one).
The only negative was, with any construction, there's always tiny bits of scrap leftover. Our house has rocks all around the outer perimeter, and while doing the spring gardening we did see slivers of aluminum wrapping sprinkled here and there. That is a drop in the bucket compared to how happy we are with the windows. Our house feels so much more secure being able to lock and double lock. I'm not scared to open the windows anymore, for fear that they won't ever properly close again. I would absolutely recommend Sidex for your project, should you be able to afford the help of a qualified hired hand 😊
We are very pleased with the work done at our home. The new windows are wonderful. The installer
was friendly and professional and went the extra mile in making sure everything was prefect.
From start to finish, each person we interacted with from SidEx was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Our original tub shower had been installed in 1950 and there was black mold growing inside the doors, shelf and corners of the tub. SidEx was able to remove our old shower tub and install the new one in one day. We originally planned to have recessed shelves in the shower, but the wall studs behind the tub were not compatible for that to happen. Steven, who was doing our installation, informed me about it right away and put in an order for corner shelves instead that matched the value of the shelves we originally wanted. Even though we had to wait a few weeks for the new order of shelves to arrive, we were able to use the shower without them. They installed the new shelves almost immediately after they arrived at their warehouse. I love our new shower tub and the service we received to get it. I recommend SidEx for your next home project!
It was a great experience from the sales call to the actual install. Our installation crew was top notch and very respectful!
I recently hired Sidex to remodel our second bathroom, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. This was our second major project with them (the first was windows), and once again, they delivered exceptional quality and service. If you’re considering remodeling, I highly recommend Sidex. They combine craftsmanship, professionalism, and excellent customer care. I'll definitely be calling them again for future projects.
Very happy with my windows installed. Installer was very knowledgeable and easy to work with at my home. Windows are a substantial improvement and no issues on fitment. Would recommend to anyone in need of windows in their home.
From the sales person to the actual installers the service i received was above my expectations of great customer service. The installer was courtesy and professional. He took extra care in assuring that the job was above 150% in quality workmanship. I would recommend Sidex to anyone looking for a remodeling job as they are not just about the sale. They care about their customers and making sure they are happy. My next project will be with Sidex because I know the quality and service I will be receiving.
Installers were efficient, polite,timely. Done and cleaned up in 2 days. I would recommend them. Very pleased also with the improvement on my house eaves and fascia
