South Florida Bathtub to Shower Conversions
Stop stepping over that high, dangerous bathtub edge. We specialize in converting old bathtubs into beautiful, accessible walk-in showers built with high-quality materials and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Reclaim Your Bathroom's True Potential.
For most South Florida homeowners, an aging bathtub takes up valuable real estate while providing very little utility. By completely removing the bathtub enclosure, we can build a significantly wider, safer, and far more enjoyable walk-in shower.
18 Construction Management Group LLC manages the entire bathtub-to-shower transition. We safely handle the demolition of old plumbing and structures, properly prepare and waterproof the subfloor, and deliver a high-quality finish with flawless custom tile and thick frameless glass.

Why Replace Your Bathtub?
A bathtub removal is one of the highest ROI upgrades in modern remodeling. It instantly modernizes your home's appeal while increasing daily safety.
Fail-Proof Waterproofing
Bathtubs frequently hide water damage. We take everything down to the studs, addressing any underlying rot and installing advanced, completely watertight membrane systems.
Unmatched Accessibility
Stepping over a 16-inch bathtub wall is a daily hazard. We specialize in low-threshold or flush zero-entry shower floors, structural grab bars, and custom built-in seating.
Effortless Maintenance
Stop scrubbing bathtub rings and cracking grout. Our modern tile layouts and specialized epoxy applications make your new shower incredibly simple to clean and maintain.
Our Proven Conversion Process
We handle local South Florida permitting, bathtub extraction, plumbing reroutes, and custom fabrication seamlessly.
Consultation & Extraction Plan
We assess your existing bathtub dimensions and underlying plumbing footprint. We guide you through selecting highly durable tile, fixtures, and glass styles to maximize the newly opened space.
Permitting & Prep
Replacing a bathtub with a shower requires shifting drain lines and water valves. Our team manages all municipal plumbing permits in Miami-Dade and Broward to ensure 100% code compliance before we start.
Demolition & Custom Build
We safely extract the heavy old bathtub, adjust the plumbing, and construct a perfectly sloped shower pan. Our artisans then lay your custom tile design, ensuring flawless grout lines.
Glass Installation & Turnover
We install the custom-cut frameless heavy glass, finalize the plumbing fixtures, and perform a rigorous water-tight test. Your new, spacious shower is ready to enjoy.
