Walk-In Shower Conversions in Decatur, TX
Trading a cramped, aging tub/shower combo for a spacious, low-threshold walk-in shower.
A walk-in shower conversion removes the old tub or a tight, hard-to-enter shower and replaces it with an open, low-threshold design built for safer daily use — without gutting the whole bathroom.
Decatur has an unusual amount of the housing that calls for exactly this, because the town is considerably older than the county growing up around it.
The Old Core of a Fast-Growing County
Decatur has been the Wise County seat since 1858, and its housing reflects that history in a way the surrounding county does not. The median home in Decatur was built around 1988; across Wise County as a whole the median is closer to 1996. The old housing is concentrated here, in the town itself.
The numbers are striking for a community this size. More than half of Decatur's homes — about 53% — predate 1990, roughly 38% predate 1980, and nearly 23% were built before 1960. The 1950s were actually a bigger decade for homebuilding in Decatur than the 1960s and 1970s combined, which is an unusual profile and one you can see plainly in the older streets near the square.
Bathrooms in homes of that era were built small and built simple: a standard alcove tub with a tiled or fiberglass surround, often the only bathing option in the house. Sixty or seventy years on, the surround is failing and that tub wall is the highest thing anyone in the household steps over all day.
We measure your specific bathroom during a free in-home assessment and design the conversion around your existing framing and plumbing — which matters more than usual in older homes, where no two are laid out quite the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Decatur home is from the 1950s — is it too old to convert?
Almost never. We do a good deal of work in homes of that age around Decatur. Older houses sometimes need more preparation once the old surround comes off, and occasionally the layout limits how large the new shower can be. We assess all of that in person before quoting.
Do you travel out to Decatur, or only work in the Metroplex?
We serve Decatur and Wise County directly. Decatur is roughly forty miles northwest of Fort Worth, and it is a regular part of our service area — not an occasional trip.
What if there is damage behind the old tub surround?
In a bathroom that old it is not unusual to find some water damage once we open it up. We inspect what we can before quoting, and if we find something afterward we show you, explain the options, and get your approval before going further.
