American Shower Company converts bathtubs into showers in Waukesha, 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.
What shapes the price of a conversion is mostly the old tub and the new entry. A same footprint conversion with a curtain is the simplest version, while a whirlpool removal, a no threshold base and sliding glass each add to it. Read the Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide for the detail.
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 Waukesha, 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.
Waukesha is home to our second location, so consultations and installs run from a local base. Much of our work here is new owners replacing a 1970s or 1980s tub and shower soon after closing, including condos where a trimmable base has to fit the existing footprint and plumbing exactly.
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 Waukesha area, including:
The most recent install our own employed installers completed near Waukesha, from the crew's own job photos. The town and month are the real ones.
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 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.
You can pay in full or finance it, including interest free plans for those who qualify, with no dealer service fees or points.
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, 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.
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.
Yes. Our second location is at S17 W22655 Lincoln Ave in Waukesha, reachable at (414) 404 6730, and it serves Waukesha, Milwaukee and the surrounding area. The main office is at 3984 E. Endeavor Drive in Appleton. Both locations offer the same free consultation, the same exact price, accurate to the penny, and the same Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee.
Because Waukesha turns over. A new owner often inherits a dated 1970s or 1980s tub and shower combination, and replacing it with a Premium Samuel Mueller System or a Signature BathWraps® System is a one day project that can be done before move in.
Yes, a lot. The City of Waukesha says its former well supply "averaged around 21 grains per gallon," while the Lake Michigan water it has bought from Milwaukee since 2023 runs about 8 grains per gallon. Many Waukesha showers were installed in the hard water years and still carry that scale in the grout. Replacing them with a nonporous Samuel Mueller or BathWraps® wall system removes the grout entirely.
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.
