Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Flower Mound, TX
Retiring the 1990s tub/shower combo before it becomes the hardest part of the house to live with.

If your Flower Mound house went up in the 1990s, there is a good chance its bathtubs are original and roughly thirty years old. A tub-to-shower conversion takes one of them out completely and builds a walk-in shower where it stood.
It is one of the most practical updates you can make to a home of that age, and it usually stays inside the bathroom you already have.
The Town That Grew Tenfold in Twenty Years
Flower Mound was named by Peters colony settlers for a fifty-foot mound covered in wildflowers, and it incorporated as a town in February 1961. A few years later it was picked as one of thirteen federally backed "new towns" under the 1968 New Communities Act. Developers Raymond Nasher and Edward Marcus drew up four village centers meant to house 60,000 to 70,000 people. The plan stalled, and HUD foreclosed on the project in 1976.
The population came anyway, just later and on its own terms. The town had 4,402 residents in 1980. By 1990 it had 15,527, and by 2000 it had 50,702, more than a tenfold jump in two decades. That wave of building is why the median home in Flower Mound dates to 1997.
Houses from that boom were finished with a fairly predictable set of fixtures: fiberglass or acrylic tub/shower combos in the secondary bathrooms, and often a large garden tub in the primary suite. Those products were built to a builder's budget. After roughly thirty years of daily use, the common complaints are surfaces that no longer come clean, hairline cracks near the drain, and a high tub wall that someone in the household has started to dread.
Flower Mound is not an especially old community; about 12% of residents are 65 or older, below the national share. What is changing is the houses. With a median home value above $514,000, a bathroom update here protects a substantial investment, and replacing a tub with a low-threshold shower is the kind of update that pays off both now and years from now.
Every project starts with a free in-home assessment. We measure the opening, look at how the existing tub is set in, and talk through who uses the bathroom and how before recommending a layout. Most conversions are then finished in about two days by our own crews, not subcontractors.
What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
Our Flower Mound home was built in the 1990s. Is the original tub worth keeping?
It depends on its condition and how you use it. If it is a fiberglass or acrylic unit showing cracks, stains or a soft floor, replacing it with a shower is usually the better investment than refinishing. We look at it during a free in-home assessment and give you a straight answer.
Can you convert a garden tub in a primary bathroom?
Yes. Large primary-suite tubs are often the least-used fixture in homes from this era. We measure the tub deck and the surrounding space and design a walk-in shower that fits your layout.
Is a permit required for a tub-to-shower conversion in Flower Mound?
We confirm requirements with the Town of Flower Mound for your specific project and handle any permitting needed as part of the job.
