American Shower Company converts bathtubs into showers for homeowners in Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison and across Wisconsin using Premium Samuel Mueller Systems and Signature BathWraps® Systems, professionally installed by our own employees, and most conversions are finished in one day, with over 350 installs completed so far in 2026. Every conversion is backed by our Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee, and your free in home consultation ends with an exact price, accurate to the penny.
A conversion is priced by the tub coming out and the shower going in. A standard alcove tub is quicker to remove than an old whirlpool or cast iron tub, a lower entry takes more floor work, and full height walls, glass, a seat and grab bars each add a line. Premium Samuel Mueller Systems and Signature BathWraps® Systems give you a choice of look and budget. Our Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide explains how each factor moves a project.

American Shower Company measures your project and gives you a clear written estimate at no cost.
We are a local shower and bath replacement company and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
A bathtub that only gets used as a shower makes you step over a high wall every single day. Converting it removes that step, opens up the room and replaces old caulk and grout with a seamless wall system, either Samuel Mueller solid surface or BathWraps® acrylic. Showers are faster to use, which suits busy households, and an ultra low or no threshold entry makes the bathroom easier for anyone with limited mobility. If the house has two bathrooms with tubs, switching one to a shower can also make the home more appealing to buyers. American Shower Company completes most conversions in one day with its own employees.
Recent installs our own employed installers completed across Wisconsin, most recent first. The towns and months come from the crew's own job photos. One of these was a tub to shower conversion project.
It depends on the tub coming out and the shower you want, so American Shower Company gives an exact price at a free in home consultation rather than a guess. Removing a whirlpool or cast iron tub, choosing an ultra low or no threshold entry, and adding glass, a seat or grab bars all change the scope, and Premium Samuel Mueller Systems and Signature BathWraps® Systems give you options at different budgets. Our Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide explains each factor, and your price is accurate to the penny.
Most can. When the shower goes into the footprint the tub occupied, our installers remove the tub, set the new base, hang the walls and connect the valve in one visit. Bigger jobs take longer: Becca K. wrote that her crew "put in a full 12 hour day" to replace "a whirlpool from the 80s" with a walk in shower.
It depends on the house. If a home has two bathrooms and both have tubs, converting one to a shower can make it more appealing to buyers, which is the advice on our own conversion page. If the tub is the only one in the home and young children live there, we will talk through keeping it.
It is a shower base with a very small lip, or none at all, at the opening. Samuel Mueller bases come in ultra low profiles and no threshold versions, and BathWraps® offers barrier free and Easy Step bases, which makes stepping in easier for anyone with limited mobility and works with a walker. Your designer measures the floor to confirm which profile fits.
The CDC estimated 234,094 nonfatal bathroom injuries among people 15 and older were treated in U.S. emergency departments in 2008, and 81.1 percent were caused by falls (MMWR, June 10, 2011). Bathing, showering and getting out of the tub or shower were the events behind 37.3 percent. Removing the tub wall and adding grab bars addresses that exact moment.
Yes. A conversion starts with a bathtub, so the drain, the valve height and the wall coverage all change. Tub surrounds usually stop short of the ceiling, while a shower needs full height walls. Our installers handle that change as part of the job, so the finished space looks and works like it was always a shower.
Our own employees do every conversion, with no subcontractors involved. Your new shower is covered by our Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee: the lifetime product warranty comes from the manufacturer, Samuel Mueller or BathWraps®, and American Shower Company backs its installation with its workmanship guarantee. If anything small comes up later, we send an installer back.
Yes, and many people do. Grab bars can be placed at the entry and the valve wall, a fold down seat can be added, and a handheld shower makes seated bathing easier. Samuel Mueller's textured floor adds grip. These are priced up front so there are no surprises.
You can pay in full or finance it, including interest free plans for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points.
There is no single average that fits every home, because a conversion is priced by the tub coming out and the shower going in. Our Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide covers Wisconsin market typicals and what drives them. The biggest factors are which tub is removed, since a whirlpool or oversized tub means larger demolition and more framing, plumbing and floor work; how low the new entry sits; whether the drain or valve has to move; glass, a fold down seat and grab bars; and the system you choose, Premium Samuel Mueller Systems or the more economical Signature BathWraps® Systems. Most conversions are finished in one day. American Shower Company performs the work with its own employees, gives an exact price, accurate to the penny, at a free in home consultation, and offers interest free financing for those who qualify.
Most tub to shower conversions take one day when the shower goes into the space the tub occupied. The day runs in a set order: floors are protected, the tub and surround come out, the drain is lined up with the new base, full height walls go up, the valve is connected and the room is cleaned. Larger jobs run longer; Becca K. wrote that her crew "put in a full 12 hour day" to remove "a whirlpool from the 80s." Jobs that need a moved drain or framing repairs can take more than a day, and you hear that before work starts, along with an exact price, accurate to the penny, from your free in home consultation.
“Then once install came, John and Levi were awesome, super friendly and kept us in the loop with updates throughout the day. They put in a full 12 hour day to get our shower completed, which was a big job. We had a whirlpool from the 80s taken out and replaced it with a walk in shower.”
“The men who were sent to do the job were prompt and respectful. They double checked with me everything that the salesman and I had discussed ... When they finished, which was done on time and less than a day, they had cleaned up so well you would have never known that construction had been done in my house.”
