Walk-In Shower Installation Twin Cities | Onyx Collection

You want the tub gone and a walk-in shower in its place, or you're just tired of scrubbing calcium out of grout lines that never come clean. That's the job we run more than any other across the Twin Cities, and we build it with The Onyx Collection: a non-porous solid-surface system with no grout lines, custom made to your alcove's exact measurements. On a standard alcove with the drain where we need it, most tub-to-shower conversions wrap in about two days. TWS Remodeling has done this work since 2001, we carry a 4.5-star rating across more than 1,000 Google reviews, and we look at what's behind the wall before we quote so the number holds. TWS is locally and family owned and operated. Call (612) 445-4352 to get started.

A walk-in shower install with TWS covers the full job: pulling the old tub, checking the drain and subfloor, setting a custom Onyx base and surround, and building in a low or zero threshold if you want easier entry. What moves the price is scope, whether the drain lines up or has to move, what the pre-war framing and plumbing look like once the wall is open, and the finish you choose. We won't quote a tight range sight unseen because two 30-by-60 alcoves in two different neighborhoods can be very different jobs. We offer $0 down, 0% interest financing for 12 months, and you can read the fuller picture on our bathroom remodeling page or complete guide to tub-to-shower conversions. Every job is different, contact TWS Remodeling for an accurate estimate.

Remodel Your Shower With Onyx Solid-Surface, No Grout to Scrub

A shower remodel with TWS replaces your worn tub or dated stall with a custom Onyx solid-surface shower, usually in about two days on a standard alcove once the drain lines up. The reason we build with The Onyx Collection instead of tile comes down to one thing most Twin Cities homeowners already know from their kitchen faucet: the water here is hard. Here's what a solid-surface shower actually gets you over tile: - No grout lines. Nothing to crack, nothing to reseal, nothing for hard-water scale or mold to hide in. - Custom made to your alcove. Every Onyx base, wall, and trim piece is built to your exact measurements, so the system fits your space instead of forcing your layout around a stock size. - A finish that holds for decades. The material is non-porous, so moisture can't work behind the wall over time the way it can with a failing tile installation. - One continuous surface. Fewer seams means a cleaner look and far less scrubbing over the years. Want a straight read on what your shower remodel would take? Call (612) 445-4352 and we'll come look before you commit to anything.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion in the Twin Cities, Step by Step

A tub-to-shower conversion is the single most common project we run across the metro, and in an older home it's usually the right call. Most alcoves that hold a standard tub are 30 by 60 inches, enough room to build a comfortable walk-in shower with a solid-surface base and surround. We've installed enough of them to stand behind the process.
"We'd rather find the corroded cast-iron drain during the consultation than discover it for you halfway through demo. That's the whole reason we look behind the wall before we hand you a number."
Here's how a conversion actually goes on a standard alcove: 1. We pull the old tub and open the wall. This is when we check the drain and subfloor. In pre-war Twin Cities homes we regularly find a corroded cast-iron drain or a soft spot where the wall has held moisture for decades. If we find it, we show you before we go further. 2. We confirm the drain location and rough-in. A conversion is straightforward when the existing drain lines up. If the plan calls for moving it, that's a scope change we price up front, not a surprise on the invoice. 3. We set the custom Onyx base and surround. Every piece is made to your alcove's exact measurements. You choose the color and finish. 4. We can build in a low or zero threshold. On most conversions we can drop the step-over height for easier entry, and add grab bars rated for 250-plus pounds or a built-in bench if you want it. On a standard alcove with the drain where we need it, most conversions finish in about two days. It's the age of the house behind the wall that decides the rest, which is exactly why we look before we quote.

Walk-In Shower Installation for Minnesota Homes and Aging in Place

Walk-in shower installation in Minnesota isn't just a tub swap, it's often the smartest accessibility upgrade a household can make, and we design it in from the start rather than retrofitting later. A curbless, zero-threshold Onyx base keeps the shower floor on one continuous plane, which reads bigger and removes the step-over that trips people up. Minnesota's climate is part of the reason solid surface wins here. Old tile and grout in a bathroom that swings from bone-dry winter air to summer humidity is where cracks and moisture problems start. A non-porous Onyx system doesn't give that moisture anywhere to go. We also confirm your bathroom's mechanical ventilation meets Minnesota code during the assessment, older homes were often built with a fan ducted straight into the attic instead of outside, and that traps the exact humidity a new shower produces.

When a walk-in shower is the wrong call

We won't talk you into this if it doesn't fit your household. If you have young kids who still take baths, or this is your only bathroom and you're thinking about resale, keeping at least one tub in the house is often the smarter move, a shower-only home can be a harder sell to families. We'll tell you that at the consultation rather than after the tub is in the dumpster. If a walk-in shower is genuinely the right fit, we'll build it with The Onyx Collection and stand behind it.

Choosing a Shower Remodel Company in the Twin Cities

Choosing a shower remodel company comes down to a few honest questions worth asking before you hire anyone: Are they actually licensed in Minnesota? Do they self-perform the work or farm it out to a subcontractor? And will they check what's behind the wall before they tear it open? We handle permits where the scope requires them, walk you through the plumbing and code questions during the consultation, and put pricing in writing before anything gets scheduled. For what it's worth, Minnesota code requires mechanical ventilation in a bathroom without an operable window, and moving a shower drain or altering the plumbing configuration typically triggers a permit while a like-for-like surround swap often doesn't. We catch all of that during the assessment, not after. Ready when you are, call (612) 445-4352.
