Convert Your Old Bathtub Into a Modern Walk-In Shower in Just 1–2 Days
Say goodbye to hazardous 15-inch high tub ledges, black mildewed grout lines, and cramped, dim bathing enclosures. Transform your Conway or Little Rock bathroom into a sleek, barrier-free sanctuary with lifetime-warranted Rigid Core Board (RCB) stone surfaces.
"Thomas ripped out our 1994 fiberglass tub and installed our new marble-look walk-in shower without a speck of dust left behind. My mother can now shower safely with zero step-over fear."
Before vs. After: The Wet-Area Evolution
Compare the frustration of an outdated fiberglass basin with the tailored luxury, structural safety, and lifetime durability of an All-Star custom conversion.
The standard 15" to 18" threshold creates a severe trip-and-fall liability. Porous grout traps bacteria, mold thrives behind caulked joints, and acrylic yellows over time.
- close Dangerous High-Step Wall: High friction, awkward entry for seniors and anyone with mobility restrictions.
- close Mildew Magnet: Degraded porous grout requiring toxic bleaches and back-breaking scrubbing.
- close Hidden Water Intrusion: Cracked caulking secretly rotting floor joists and framing beneath.
- close Cramped Enclosure: Clunky shower curtains or moldy bypass glass doors closing off lighting.
Architecturally seamless, non-porous composite stone with barrier-free or ultra-low 2-inch transition, ergonomic designer grab bars, and lifetime leakproof technology.
The 4-Step 48-Hour Conversion Process
We respect your home and schedule. Here is how founder Thomas Pedersen and our master installation crew take you from outdated tub to luxury shower in two painless days.
In-Home Precision Measurement
Thomas Pedersen personally inspects your bathroom, laser-scans existing dimensions, checks water supply pressures, and designs the custom layout with zero sales pressure.
Custom Off-Site Fabrication
Your high-density Rigid Core Board (RCB) panels and heavy-duty shower pan are custom cut to millimeter precision prior to arrival, keeping noise and dust out of your home.
Tear-Out to Bare Studs
We pull the old cast-iron or fiberglass tub, haul away all debris, inspect subflooring for hidden moisture or rot, and reinforce plumbing valves with solid brass fixtures.
Waterproof Install & Reveal
We anchor the slip-resistant shower base, chemically bond the non-porous wall system, hang frameless heavy glass, mount grab bars, and leave your bathroom spotless and ready.
Why RCB (Rigid Core Board) Outperforms Ceramic Tile & Acrylic
Not all wet-area materials are built the same. While big-box franchises install flimsy 1/8" plastic sheets that sound hollow, All-Star utilizes structural composite RCB stone.
| Performance Metric | All-Star RCB Composite | Ceramic / Porcelain Tile | Franchise Acrylic Sheets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grout Maintenance & Mold Risk | 100% Grout-Free, Impervious to Mildew | Requires re-grouting & deep bi-weekly bleach scrubs | Grout-free, but caulk seams prone to peeling |
| Surface Rigidity & Sound | Solid stone feel, silent, zero deflection | Rock-solid, but brittle over settling foundations | Hollow sound, noticeable flex and squeak when stepped on |
| Thermal Touch | Warm-to-the-touch composite insulation | Freezing cold stone during Arkansas winter mornings | Plastic feel, low insulation value |
| UV & Chemical Resistance | Non-porous ceramic topcoat, stain-proof | Chemical resistant, but harsh cleaners erode grout | Yellows under sunlight; scratches easily from scouring |
| Warranty Protection | Lifetime Transferable Material & Labor | 1 to 2-year contractor standard labor warranty | Limited 10-year pro-rated manufacturer warranty |

"Took Just 30 Hours from Demo to First Shower"
"We dreaded having contractors in our home for weeks. Thomas and his lead installer arrived at 8:00 AM on a Tuesday, completely protected our carpets, removed our heavy cast iron tub, and by Wednesday afternoon our walk-in shower with the teak bench was completely done. Incredible craftsmanship."
"Peace of Mind for My Aging Father"
"My dad had a close call slipping over his old tub. We called three companies. The national brands quoted over $18,000 and used high-pressure sales tricks. Thomas gave us an honest, transparent breakdown for half the cost. The low curb entry and matte black grab bars look like a luxury hotel, not a nursing facility."
"The Grout-Free Panels Are a Game Changer"
"Our well water was forever staining the tile grout in our old tub. These new RCB panels simply do not hold soap scum or calcium. A quick squeegee after a shower and it looks like a brand new installation every day. Highly recommend Thomas Pedersen and All-Star."
