Riverside Bathroom Remodel, From Tub Swaps to New Showers
If the tub in your Page Manor or Avondale bathroom has worn thin or the shower over it leaks, we pull it out and build what the room needs next.
What We Do Here
Bathroom remodel in Riverside
We remodel bathrooms in Riverside homes and rental properties, from a new shower or tub to a full rebuild of the room.
The median home in Riverside, Ohio was built in 1962, so the bathroom we open up may still have its first tub, its first tile and the pipes behind them. Owners live in 55.3% of the occupied homes here and tenants in the rest, and a landlord gets the same visit and the same written quote an owner does.
These are the bathroom jobs we take on here:
- Shower remodel
A new shower built up from the "shower pan," with the waterproofing in place before any tile goes on.
- Bathtub replacement
The old tub comes out, a new one is set and leveled, and the drain and faucet are hooked back up.
- Tub to shower conversion
The tub goes and a walk-in shower takes its place, often with the drain moved and the "shower valve" replaced.
- One day bathroom remodel
Acrylic walls and a new base fitted over a tub or shower that still works but has worn out its looks.
- ADA bathroom remodel
Grab bars, "comfort-height fixtures" and a "curbless shower," so the room stays safe to use as the years go on.
Where We Work
Bathroom remodel across Riverside neighborhoods
We work across all of Riverside and in the nearby towns listed here, each of which has a page of its own.
A bathroom in Forest Ridge Quail Hollow and one a few streets from the National Museum of the United States Air Force can be built nothing alike behind the wall, which is why we see yours in person before we put a price on it.

Demolition to Finish
How the remodel runs in Riverside homes
A remodel here runs in the same order as anywhere: demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspection, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and finish.
No stage can start before the one ahead of it is done, so we book them back to back and the written quote tells you when the bathroom is yours again.
The work goes in this order, start to finish:
- Demolition
The tub, tile and fixtures come out, and the walls open only as far as the new work needs.
- Rough plumbing and electrical
Drain, supply lines and wiring go into the open walls; this is the "rough-in."
- Inspection
Where the job carries a permit, the rough-in is checked before anything is covered up.
- Waterproofing
"Cement board" goes up, then the waterproofing membrane and a pan sloped to the drain.
- Tile
Walls and floor are set and grouted, or wall panels go up in place of tile.
- Fixtures
Valve trim, glass, vanity, toilet and lights are installed and connected.
- Finish
Caulk and paint, a walk-through with you, and the site cleaned before we go.
An alcove tub in its original wall tile: the usual starting point for a tub swap or a walk-in shower conversion.
Before You Call
What Riverside homeowners ask first
Cost can be the first thing you ask about, and the answer starts with the scope of the job and the fixtures you pick rather than the size of the floor.
Bathrooms of the same size can price far apart once you look at what each one needs. These are the things that move the number:
- Keeping the drain, supply lines and wiring where they are, or moving them.
- A "surround replacement" over the old tub, against a conversion that needs a new rough-in.
- Moisture, framing or subfloor damage found once the old tub is out.
- The tile, wall panels, glass and fixtures you choose.
If something hidden turns up and changes the price, we write it down and you approve it before that work goes ahead.

Questions
Bathroom questions we hear in Riverside
Short answers here, and the long ones on the estimate visit.
Call AK Shower ProsWhat are some ideas for bathroom makeovers?
Taking out a tub you never use and putting in a walk-in shower is one of the biggest changes a small bathroom gets. A "surround replacement" in seamless "cultured marble" changes the look without moving any fixtures. Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines, which makes a small room look larger.
What are current bathroom design trends?
Current bathrooms lean toward "curbless" showers with no lip at the entry and frameless glass enclosures, heavy glass panels with no metal frame. Heated flooring, electric heat under the tile floor, is a common upgrade. A curbless shower needs its floor slope planned early, before any tile goes down.
How hard is it to renovate a bathroom?
It is many trades in a set order: demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspections, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, then finish work. The hard parts are the ones you never see again, the membrane behind the tile and the pipes in the wall, and moisture or subfloor damage found after demolition adds to the job.
