Swap a tub you do not use for a tiled shower you can keep clean
This is the work Ken wants more of, and the work homeowners around Johnson City and Kingsport ask for when a tub is just in the way. He and his son Josh have been reviewed specifically for shower tile: on time, at the quoted price, with the debris hauled out.
What the quote covers
- On-site look at the tub alcove, drain, and surrounding walls
- Tub removal in the quoted scope
- Shower pan and wet-area waterproofing before tile
- Wall and floor tile, including niches if they fit the layout
- Cleanup so you are not left with a tub in the driveway
How Ken runs the job
1. See the alcove
Ken checks drain location, studs, and whether the existing surround can come out cleanly. That visit is free.
2. Price the conversion
You get a written number in 24–48 hours. Typical conversions sit in his $8,000–$15,000 sweet spot when the whole shower is tiled.
3. Pick tile that belongs in a shower
Porcelain and ceramic that can take water. He will steer you off the wrong material rather than sell you whatever is on the truck.
4. Build the shower
Tub out, waterproofing in, tile set, grout, cleanup. Ken’s crew stays on the job instead of farming it out.

Questions Ken hears on this job
Can you convert a tub if I want a curb-free entry?
Sometimes. It depends on the floor height and drain. Ken will say yes or no in the house, not on a form.
Do I need a new drain?
Many conversions keep the existing drain. If yours needs to move, Ken will flag it so you can get a plumber in the right order.
What about grab bars and benches?
Ask on the estimate visit. Blocking in the wall has to happen before tile. Ken would rather add it then than drill later.
