Professional Shower-to-Tub Conversions in Arlington, TX
Expert Bathtub Conversion Services Throughout the DFW Metroplex
Life changes, and your bathroom should adapt with you. At API Contracting & Remodeling, we specialize in professional shower-to-tub conversions for Arlington homeowners who need the functionality and comfort of a bathtub. Whether you’re welcoming young children into your family, caring for elderly parents who need a safer bathing option, or simply prefer the relaxation of a soaking tub, our experienced team delivers custom bathtub conversion solutions that transform your shower space into the perfect bathing environment.
With over 20 years of experience serving Arlington, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, we understand the unique plumbing configurations and building codes of North Texas homes. Unlike companies that install prefabricated overlays, we perform full custom shower to tub conversions that seamlessly integrate with your existing bathroom layout. Our licensed and insured craftsmen handle every aspect of the conversion—from removing your existing shower pan and walls to installing a properly sloped bathtub with professional tile work, updated plumbing fixtures, and waterproofing that protects your investment for decades.
A shower-to-tub conversion is more complex than simply replacing one fixture with another. It requires precise demolition to avoid damaging existing plumbing lines, expert carpentry to modify framing and support structures, professional plumbing work to reposition drain lines and water supplies, and meticulous tile installation to create a watertight enclosure. At API Contracting & Remodeling, we’ve completed hundreds of bathtub conversions across the DFW area, and our 4.9-star rating with over 68 Google reviews reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, communication, and customer satisfaction on every project.
Our shower-to-tub conversion process typically takes 5-7 days from demolition to final inspection, minimizing disruption to your Arlington household. We maintain clean work areas, protect your home with drop cloths and barriers, and coordinate with city inspectors to ensure all work meets or exceeds Texas building codes. Whether you’re converting a standard shower in a secondary bathroom or transforming a master ensuite, we offer flexible scheduling—including our 24-hour availability for emergencies—to accommodate your family’s needs and timeline.
Every bathtub conversion we complete in Arlington and the surrounding DFW communities is backed by our comprehensive warranty and the confidence that comes from two decades of remodeling excellence. We source quality materials from trusted suppliers, employ experienced tradespeople who take pride in their work, and stand behind every installation. When you choose API Contracting & Remodeling for your shower to tub conversion, you’re partnering with a local company that values your home as much as you do and delivers results that enhance both functionality and property value.

Our Proven Conversion Process
Free Consultation & Measurement
We visit your Arlington home to assess your existing shower space, discuss your bathtub preferences and functionality needs, take precise measurements, and provide a detailed written estimate with material options and project timeline. We’ll evaluate your plumbing configuration and identify any structural modifications needed for a successful conversion.
Careful Demolition & Prep
Our experienced crew carefully removes your existing shower pan, walls, fixtures, and any necessary framing while protecting existing plumbing lines and electrical components. We inspect the subfloor for water damage, reinforce framing as needed, and prepare surfaces for proper waterproofing and new installation.
Plumbing & Tub Installation

We install the tub with proper leveling, secure it to wall studs, connect all plumbing components, and apply waterproof membranes to walls and seams. Every connection is tested for leaks before proceeding.
Custom Tile & Finishing
Professional tile setters install your chosen tile surround with precision cuts, consistent grout lines, and attention to aesthetic details. We install fixtures, hardware, shower doors or curtain rods, caulk all seams, and complete trim work. Every surface is cleaned and polished to showroom condition.
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
We conduct a thorough quality inspection, coordinate with Arlington building inspectors for code compliance verification, and walk you through your completed conversion. You’ll receive care instructions, warranty documentation, and our commitment to address any concerns. We don’t consider the job complete until you’re completely satisfied.
