American Shower Company converts bathtubs into showers in Oshkosh, 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.
Homeowners in Oshkosh, 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.
Oshkosh is one of the closest markets to our Appleton office, and its older houses often hide a surround glued over old plaster and tired drain lines, which we show you and price before any work starts. Low threshold walk in showers and tub to shower conversions lead our work 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:
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 Oshkosh area, including:
Recent shower and bath installs our own employed installers completed near Oshkosh, 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.
You can pay in full or finance it, including interest free plans for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points.
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.
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 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.
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.
Because many Oshkosh homeowners want to stay in their homes as they age, and the step over a tub wall is the main hazard in the bathroom. A low or no threshold entry with grab bars and a fold down seat removes it, and the conversion is usually done in one day.
They take more care. Original plaster, older drain lines and earlier remodels glued over old walls are common in Oshkosh. Anything found when the old unit comes out is shown to you and priced before it is repaired, so the price you approved does not change without your say.
Harder than Appleton's, even though both cities use Lake Winnebago. Wisconsin DNR sample results for Oshkosh Waterworks show total hardness of 170 mg/L in August 2020, about 10 grains per gallon. That is enough to leave white scale on shower glass and around valve trim, which is why a nonporous surface with no grout lines and a valve designed to resist calcium buildup cut weekly cleaning.
