Most Euless bathrooms were designed around a bathtub because that was simply how houses were built when the city was filling in. Converting it means pulling the tub out entirely and building a walk-in shower in the same opening.
The result is a bathroom with nothing tall to climb over, a floor that grips when wet, and walls that wipe clean in a minute.
Two Building Booms, Two Kinds of Bathtub
Euless grew up alongside the airport. The Handbook of Texas traces the city's modern growth to the 1950s and the 1953 opening of Amon Carter Field; Euless went from 4,263 residents in 1960 to 19,316 in 1970. Then the Airport Freeway and the new Dallas-Fort Worth Airport pushed land prices up and slowed home building through the 1970s, before a second surge carried the population from about 24,000 in 1980 to more than 38,000 by 1990.
You can still see both waves in the housing. Census estimates put the 1980s as the single biggest decade of construction in Euless, at roughly 28% of all homes, with another 14% or so dating to the 1960s. All told, about a third of the city's housing was built before 1980, and the median home dates to 1986.
Those two eras left behind different bathtubs. Houses from the 1960s often still have a heavy steel or cast-iron tub set into a tiled alcove, with grout that has been scrubbed and re-sealed for decades. Homes from the 1980s were more likely finished with a one-piece fiberglass tub-and-shower unit, which tends to dull, flex, and crack around the drain after thirty-plus years of use.
Euless is not an especially old city by its residents: about 11% of people here are 65 or older, below the national figure. The case for converting is the house itself. A tub wall is the tallest thing anyone in the home steps over every day, and it sits on a wet floor, whether the person in the shower is 40 with a bad knee or 80.
Whichever era your bathroom comes from, the approach is the same. We take the old tub out completely, check the framing and plumbing behind it, and build the new shower to fit the existing alcove, so the rest of the room usually stays as it is.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Euless house was built in the 1960s. Can you remove a cast-iron tub?
Yes. Older steel and cast-iron tubs are heavy, and they are often set behind tile, so removal takes more care than a fiberglass unit. We plan for that during the free in-home assessment, take the tub out in pieces where needed, and look at the framing and plumbing once it is exposed.
We have a 1980s fiberglass tub-shower combo. Is a liner over it a cheaper fix?
A liner covers the problem rather than removing it, and it keeps the same high tub wall. We do full tub removal only, so the new shower sits on a proper base with a low threshold and nothing old is trapped behind it.
Do I need a permit for a tub-to-shower conversion in Euless?
We confirm requirements with the City of Euless for your specific project and handle any permitting that is needed, so you do not have to sort it out yourself.
