American Shower Company converts bathtubs into showers in Appleton, WI 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.
No two conversions are the same project. Removing a jetted tub, moving a drain or adding a fold down seat and grab bars changes the work, and the system you choose sets the finish. Both Samuel Mueller and BathWraps® cover the full range of options, and our Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide walks through each one.
Your free in home consultation gives you an exact, personal price, accurate to the penny, and the price American Shower Company writes down is the price you pay.
If you are planning a tub to shower conversion in Appleton, WI, start with the choices that matter most: which system fits your style and budget, how the space should work for the people who use it, and what is behind the old walls. Below is how we look at homes here, what goes into the price, and how the job runs from the consultation through cleanup.
Appleton is home base for American Shower Company, so a free in home consultation here is a short drive. Most Appleton calls are a same footprint shower or tub replacement in a prewar or postwar house where the hall bath serves the whole family, which is why a one day install matters here.
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:
Tracey F. said her conversion was "done on time and less than a day," and that a shower at a previous home had taken two weeks. That gap is the point of a one day conversion: the old tub comes out in the morning, the new base and walls go in, the plumbing is connected, and the room is cleaned before the crew leaves. An ultra low entry and grab bars make it easier to use for years.
American Shower Company works across the Appleton area, including:
Recent shower and bath installs our own employed installers completed near Appleton, listed nearest town first. The towns and months come straight from the crew's own job photos, so every line is a real home our team worked in. One of these was a tub to shower conversion project.
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. 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.
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.
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.
You can pay in full or finance it, including interest free plans for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points.
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.
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.
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.
Our office and showroom are at 3984 E. Endeavor Drive, Suite 5, Appleton, WI 54915, and the main line is (920) 241 6575. Hours are Monday through Thursday 8am to 8pm, Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 8am to 4pm. A live local person answers the phone rather than a national call center, and free in home consultations are scheduled from this office.
Yes. The work happens inside, so installs run through the winter. The practical concerns on an Appleton winter day are a clear driveway and protecting floors from salt and slush, which the installers handle with tarps from the door to the bathroom.
Less than most of Wisconsin. Appleton draws from Lake Winnebago and lime softens it at the treatment plant, and Wisconsin DNR sample results for Appleton Waterworks show total hardness of 72 to 76 mg/L in July 2020, roughly 4 grains per gallon. Scale still builds on grout and valves over time, which is where a nonporous wall system with no grout lines, Samuel Mueller solid surface or BathWraps® acrylic, and the Samuel Mueller Forever Valve, which the manufacturer says resists calcium buildup, make cleaning easier.
Over 350 installs so far in 2026, from the Fox Valley to Milwaukee and Madison. Here are some of the bathrooms our crew photographed along the way. The map shows towns, not addresses.
