Why Ottawa Homeowners Are
Removing Their Bathtub

If you haven't used your tub in years — you're not alone. Most Ottawa homeowners tell us the same thing: they want the space back, and they want it to look modern.

Safer Daily Access

No more stepping over a high tub wall. Low-curb and curbless entries make getting in and out safer for every age.

A Bathroom That Feels Bigger

Walk-in showers open up the room visually. Even in smaller Ottawa bathrooms, removing the tub creates noticeably more space.

Higher Resale Value

Buyers in Ottawa consistently rate a modern walk-in shower as a top feature. Your investment pays back.

Easier to Keep Clean

No grout around a tub rim, no awkward corners. Tile showers with Schluter® are designed to stay cleaner longer.

Aging in Place

Built-in seating, grab bars, and barrier-free entry — designed for comfort and independence without compromising style.

What Ottawa Homeowners
Ask Before Booking


How long does a conversion take?
Most conversions are done in 3–5 days. Basic acrylic surround takes 3 days; full custom tile with glass enclosure typically takes 4–5. We give you a clear timeline upfront and stick to it.
Do I need a permit?
Typically no permit is required for a straight tub-to-shower conversion when plumbing stays in the same location. If we need to move the drain, we handle any required permits — it's included.
Will this hurt my home's resale value?
Not in most Ottawa homes. If you have another bathtub in the house, replacing a second tub with a quality shower typically increases appeal. We'll discuss your specific situation during the estimate.
Can I use my bathroom during work?
For the 3–5 days work is active, that bathroom is out of use. We do daily cleanup so the rest of your home is unaffected. Most clients with a second bathroom don't notice the disruption.
What is Schluter® and why does it matter?
Schluter® is a professional waterproofing membrane applied behind all tile surfaces. It prevents water from reaching the subfloor — the #1 cause of long-term bathroom damage. Premium material most budget contractors skip.
What does Price Lock mean?
When we give you a written quote, that price is valid for 60 days regardless of material price changes. You decide when to start, and the price stays the same. No deposit required until work begins.
