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.
Homeowners in Milwaukee, WI usually come to us with one of three goals: a cleaner, newer look, an easier way in and out, or a bathroom that stops needing constant scrubbing. Below you will find how a tub to shower conversion works here, what moves the scope, and what to expect from our team.
Milwaukee is served from our Waukesha location, and it has the oldest homes we work in, with cast iron tubs, plaster walls and original drain lines in its bungalows and duplexes. Low threshold showers and grab bars are a common request here, and the crew plans the route out of an upper flat before the day starts.
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 Milwaukee area, including:
The most recent install our own employed installers completed near Milwaukee, from the crew's own job photos. The town and month are the real ones.
You can pay in full or finance it, including interest free plans for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 Waukesha location at S17 W22655 Lincoln Ave serves Milwaukee, about 15 miles east of it, and can be reached at (414) 404 6730. Consultations are free, prices are accurate to the penny, and the work is done by our own employees rather than subcontractors, the same as in the Fox Valley.
Yes. Milwaukee has the oldest housing we serve, and cast iron tubs in upper and lower flats are routine. The crew plans the route out of the building before the day starts, and a Samuel Mueller alcove tub or a Samuel Mueller or BathWraps® shower goes into the same space.
Moderately hard. Milwaukee Water Works treats Lake Michigan water and publishes a hardness of 137 mg/L, or 8.01 grains per gallon, with a range of 112 to 142 mg/L. That leaves mineral spots on glass and chrome over time. Samuel Mueller and BathWraps® walls are nonporous with no grout to hold scale, and the Forever Valve is designed by the manufacturer to resist calcium buildup.
American Shower Company converts tubs to showers in Milwaukee with its own employees, usually finishing in one day and serving the city from its Waukesha location about 15 miles west. Home age matters locally: Milwaukee's bungalows and duplexes are the oldest homes in the service area, often with cast iron tubs, plaster walls and original drain lines. Older plumbing and wall framing can change the scope, and so can removing a whirlpool or oversized tub, drain relocation, and the choice of seat, door and threshold height. Conversions use Premium Samuel Mueller Systems or Signature BathWraps® Systems, and the free in home consultation gives you an exact price, accurate to the penny.
