When you hire ZINTEX to convert your bathtub into a walk-in shower, we will start by bringing the existing tub and shower space down to the studs. This allows us to see what’s going on with your subfloor and the other structural components behind your shower walls. That way, we can make as-needed repairs, remove and replace moldy components, and reinforce any support beams that will hold safety features like grab bars or seats.
How does this differ from other companies? Some companies only provide refinishing services, meaning they’re only working with the surface of your tub or shower. Others may rip out all existing materials but require you to hire outside contractors to do things like upgrade the plumbing or remove mold. At ZINTEX, we’re providing white glove tub and shower installation services.
ZINTEX does not hire outside contractors when completing a tub-to-shower conversion (or any other service). Your entire bathroom remodeling team, from your design consultant to your project manager to your installer, consists of ZINTEX employees. This ensures that all the work we provide meets our rigorous standards, falls under our warranties, and remains consistent and reliable.
How does this differ from other companies? While some bathroom remodelers follow a similar model, others, especially general contractors, may work more like overseers. In other words, you work with them to finalize your design and communicate about the timeline, but they’re building your team using third-party companies and contractors. This can lead to hire prices, but it can also make it difficult to seek repairs under warranty.
ZINTEX doesn’t make the one-day remodel promise in those exact terms. That said, 90% of our tub-to-shower conversions are completed in 1-2 days. We like to plan for that extra buffer day because sometimes, our installers encounter unforeseen problems behind existing shower walls. When that happens, we don’t want to speed through repairs and deliver lower quality results in the process.
How does this compare to other companies? On the one hand, some companies always make the one-day remodel promise, but that may mean a smaller scope of work. On the other hand, some companies may provide full bathroom remodeling services that take more than one day to complete. For example, they may do full layout changes or replace multiple components, like flooring and vanities.
Yes, ZINTEX has completed thousands of tub-to-shower conversions across 12 states. In fact, tub-to-shower conversions are our most popular service, accounting for 65% of our completed projects. (Walk-in shower installations, including tub-to-shower conversions, actually make up 90% of our work across all markets.)
Without seeing the data, it’s hard to say how this might compare to other companies. There are other companies that similarly focus on wet area remodels, and they may have comparable stats. General contractors and bathroom remodeling companies that tend to do full bathroom remodels may not have completed quite as many tub-to-shower conversions simply because it’s not a primary focus.
Yes, ZINTEX can do small bathroom renovations. We work with a lot of homeowners who own pre-21st century homes, and those often have both hall and primary bathrooms that are less than 100 square feet. Tub-to-shower conversions are popular amongst homeowners with small bathrooms in part because they tend to maximize space better than a tub-shower combo. You can check out our small walk-in shower ideas to get a better sense of how that might work.
Once again, it would be hard to say how this compares to other companies without knowing more behind-the-scenes data. Notably, luxury remodelers and contractors that specialize in new-build properties may be used to working with modern, spacious bathrooms.
At ZINTEX Remodeling Group, we believe in pricing transparency. We’re not afraid to tell you that our tub-to-shower conversion costs run between about $11,000-$24,000. This includes everything from design costs to material costs to long-term support and warranty costs, and you won’t be surprised by any hidden fees.
Other bathroom remodeling companies may charge less, but that lower price tag probably comes with less robust services or a more limited warranty. Some companies may charge more, especially if they’re working with luxury materials like natural stone. Generally speaking, what makes ZINTEX stand out is that we’re willing to give you a look at pricing before you schedule a consultation. Most companies don’t openly share a price range for their bathroom remodeling services.
Tub-to-shower conversions are by far the most popular service with ZINTEX customers. If your tub is no longer practical, consider ZINTEX for your walk-in shower upgrade.
