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.
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.
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.

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 & 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.
Cost-timeline-and-financing-icon
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.

Reviews from Real Customers
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.
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 😊
was friendly and professional and went the extra mile in making sure everything was prefect.
