DESIGNED AROUND YOU
Replace the tub you rarely use.
A bathtub that is difficult to step into or rarely used can take up valuable space. GTex General Contracting provides tub-to-shower conversions in San Antonio, helping homeowners plan a shower around their existing bathroom, daily routine and preferred finishes.
We review the tub opening, plumbing, entry, storage and surrounding surfaces before recommending a scope. Your conversion can be a focused shower project or part of a complete bathroom remodel. The first step is deciding what you want the new shower to do better.
BEFORE THE BATHTUB COMES OUT
Four decisions that shape your shower.
01
Keep the footprint or change the layout
Using the existing tub area can limit how much of the room needs to change. A larger shower may affect the vanity, toilet, door or storage. We review those relationships together.
02
Choose the entry
A low curb and a curbless entry are different construction choices. Floor structure, drainage and waterproofing determine what can be built. We assess your room before recommending an entry height.
03
Plan the enclosure
Glass doors, sliding panels and more open layouts have different space and splash-control needs. Door swing, cleaning access and the position of the showerhead should be considered before glass is ordered.
04
Place everyday features
Recessed niches, a bench, handheld shower fittings and grab-bar backing work best when planned before the walls are closed. Tell us who will use the shower and which features matter most.
BEHIND THE FINISHES
What changes behind the tub surround?
Removing the tub exposes the area needed to assess the existing framing, wall preparation, water lines and drain. The new shower needs a compatible base, waterproofing system and transitions to the bathroom floor. Existing conditions may affect the final scope.
We also review the edges of the work: tile that ends at a vanity, flooring under the old tub apron, wall repairs and trim. Those details help a conversion look complete. If concealed damage is found, we explain the condition and discuss the required scope before additional work proceeds.

PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE
What shapes your conversion estimate?
Conversion pricing depends on the actual bathroom. Important variables include demolition, the condition behind the surround, drain and plumbing changes, shower size, tile selection, glass, seating and storage.
A conversion that retains the room layout differs from one that moves fixtures or replaces the entire bathroom floor. The estimate should make the included preparation, installation and finishing work clear. Material choices and delivery times also affect the construction schedule.
Bring photos of your current bathroom and examples of the shower you want. We can then discuss priorities and prepare a written estimate for your project.

A focused conversion or a full room update?
Keeping the existing room layout and changing only the bathing area creates a different scope from replacing the vanity, lighting and bathroom floor. We’ll help you define which changes belong in your project.

BEFORE YOU START
Your tub-to-shower questions,
answered.
Often it can, but the opening, drain, floor and surrounding fixtures need to be checked. Keeping the footprint does not mean that every existing component can be reused.
No. A curbless entry depends on the floor construction and drainage design. We discuss low-curb and curbless options after reviewing the room.
Consider who uses your home, your preference for bathing and your long-term plans. We can discuss the layout tradeoffs without assuming every household needs the same arrangement.
Yes, these can be included in the proposed scope when the space and construction allow. Plan their placement before plumbing and tile installation.
Timing depends on preparation, materials, glass and the extent of the work. We review a project-specific schedule before construction.
Yes. GTex handles bathroom renovations including vanities, flooring, lighting, plumbing and finishes. We can price a focused conversion or a broader remodel.
