Showers and Tub Conversions
Old tubs and fiberglass surrounds out, walk-in tile showers in, with a niche for bottles and a glass panel or door.
Bathroom Remodeling Done Right Behind the Walls
A bathroom has to look good and handle water every single day. The first part is about tile, vanities and fixtures. The second is about what is behind them, and it is where most bathroom problems start: tile set over bare drywall, a shower pan that was never properly sealed, grout lines that let water into the wall. Paint Plus builds the part you do not see as carefully as the part you do.
John Reyes, who owns the company, scopes every bathroom himself, and the same crew handles the job from demolition through the final coat of paint.
The Most Common Project: Tub to Shower
Plenty of homes still have the original tub and surround in the main or guest bathroom, even though nobody uses the tub anymore. Converting it into a walk-in tile shower is one of the most common bathroom projects there is. A typical conversion includes:
- Removing the tub, surround and damaged wall material.
- Adjusting the drain and valve for a shower, with licensed plumbing where it is required.
- Waterproofing the walls and floor of the shower before tile.
- Tiling the walls, a built-in niche and the shower floor.
- Fitting a glass panel or door, then finishing the room around it.
Choosing Finishes That Age Well
Bathrooms get remodeled every couple of decades, so it pays to choose finishes that will not look dated in five years. Larger light-colored tile on the walls, a simple mosaic on the shower floor for grip, a furniture-style or floating vanity and one metal finish carried through the faucets and hardware all tend to hold up. We will talk through options with you and give you our honest opinion.

If it is your only bathroom, tell us at the estimate. We plan the work to keep that stretch as short as possible and let you know in advance which days you will be without it. Either way, the rest of the house is protected, dust stays in the bathroom and we clean up at the end of each day.

Common Questions About This Service
It depends on the size of the room, how much is changing and when materials like the vanity and shower glass arrive. A cosmetic update is much quicker than a full gut with a tub-to-shower conversion. Your written quote includes the schedule.
Yes. Tell us at the estimate and we will plan the sequence to keep the toilet and sink out of use for as short a time as the job allows, and tell you in advance which days they will be off.
Yes, it is one of the most common bathroom requests. It involves removing the tub, adjusting the drain and valve, waterproofing and tiling the new shower, and fitting glass. We cover every part in the quote.
By waterproofing the wet areas before any tile goes up, using moisture-resistant board where it belongs, making sure the room is ventilated, and finishing with paint made for humid rooms. Most bathroom problems start behind the tile, which is why we do not rush that part.
We handle the demolition, construction, tile and finish work. Moving or adding plumbing needs a licensed plumber and permits, which we schedule into the job so you have one plan and one timeline.
Often, yes. A new vanity, lighting, mirror, hardware and fresh paint can change a bathroom a lot for far less than a gut renovation. We will tell you honestly what gives you the most for your budget.
