American Shower Company converts bathtubs into showers in Madison, 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 Madison, 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.
Madison has the newest housing we serve, so the job is rarely rot. It is usually a yellowed builder grade fiberglass shower or an unused corner whirlpool that becomes a walk in shower matching a well kept home. Madison is a longer drive from both offices, so we settle the choices in one consultation visit.
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.
American Shower Company works across the Madison area, including:
You can pay in full or finance it, including interest free plans for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Newer showers more often than old tubs. Madison has the youngest housing we serve, so the common project is a yellowed builder grade fiberglass stall or an unused corner whirlpool. Many owners choose Monterey marble looks or Pioneer tile looks from Premium Samuel Mueller Systems, or a Signature BathWraps® System, to match a well kept home.
Madison is about 60 miles from our Waukesha location and about 97 miles from our Appleton office, and it is part of the service area listed on our own site. The installers are our own employees, the same ones who work in the Fox Valley, and the price is accurate to the penny.
Very hard. Madison Water Utility pumps groundwater from deep wells and states that its water contains 18 to 20 grains of hardness per gallon. Hardness at that level leaves scale on grout, glass and valve trim within weeks, so a nonporous wall system with no grout lines, in Samuel Mueller solid surface or BathWraps® acrylic, and the Samuel Mueller Forever Valve, which the manufacturer says resists calcium buildup, are practical choices rather than luxuries in a Madison bathroom.
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.
