American Shower Company converts bathtubs into showers in Fond du Lac, 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.
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.
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.
Planning a tub to shower conversion in Fond du Lac, WI is mostly about fit: the footprint you have, the look you want and who will be using the bathroom in ten years. This page covers the local housing picture, the options worth comparing, and exactly how American Shower Company runs the work.
Fond du Lac has some of the oldest housing we serve, and much of our work here is a compact bathroom where a standard 60 inch alcove tub is the only wet space. That is the footprint a trimmable Samuel Mueller base or a custom size BathWraps® base is made to fit in one day.
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:
The tub is often the least used fixture in a Wisconsin house and the hardest one to climb into. A conversion takes it out, sets a new low entry base where it stood, and runs full height walls to the ceiling, so you walk in instead of stepping over. In a home with two tubs, keeping one and converting the other covers families with small children and buyers who want a walk in shower. Our own employees finishes most conversions in a single day.

Recent shower and bath installs our own employed installers completed near Fond du Lac, 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.
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.
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.
You can pay in full or finance it, including interest free plans for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points.
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.
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.
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 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.
Mostly compact ones. Many Fond du Lac houses are older and have a single bathroom with a standard alcove tub. A Samuel Mueller alcove tub, a trimmable Samuel Mueller shower base or a custom size BathWraps® base is designed for that space, which keeps most projects to one day without moving walls.
Fond du Lac sits at the south end of Lake Winnebago, about 35 miles from our Appleton office at 3984 E. Endeavor Drive and about 54 miles from our Waukesha location on Lincoln Ave. Consultations are free and booked through the main line, (920) 241 6575, and our own employees do the work under the same Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee in every market we serve.
Hard. Fond du Lac Waterworks supplies the city from 17 deep wells, 745 to 1,150 feet deep, and Wisconsin DNR samples from February 2026 show total hardness of 290 to 370 mg/L, roughly 17 to 22 grains per gallon. Water that hard scales grout, caulk and fixtures quickly. A Samuel Mueller or BathWraps® shower has no real grout lines to stain, and the Forever Valve is designed by the manufacturer to resist calcium buildup.
