Trusted Bathroom Remodelers
Project Overview
Jess and Kathy, homeowners in South Hill, met Oasis Bath Solutions at the Puyallup Home Show. They liked that we're a local company, and they were ready to have their unused bathtub removed entirely in favor of a walk-in shower.
Our crew tore out the original tub and tile, then rebuilt the space with a custom shower base and grout-free White Pearl Sentrel panels. If you're considering a similar project, our Puyallup bathroom remodeling page has more on what a typical project in the area looks like.
The Challenge: A Bathtub That Never Got Used
From an Unused Tub to a Custom Walk-In Shower
Jess and Kathy's tub had gone unused for years, taking up space in their bathroom without serving any real purpose. They'd met our team at the Puyallup Home Show and appreciated that we're a local company rather than a national franchise passing through the area.
Our crew tore out the original tub and tile down to the studs and rebuilt the space around a custom White Pearl shower base with grout-free wall panels. For homeowners weighing a similar conversion, our tub-to-shower conversion page walks through what's involved.
Before and After
The Result: A Fully Custom Walk-In Shower
TThe finished shower is built around a custom White Pearl shower base, with matching wall panels sealed as continuous sheets instead of individual tiles. A 15-inch corner shelf gives Jess and Kathy built-in storage, and a wall-backed ErgoSafetyBar grab bar in matte black adds real safety support.
A matte black Retreat shower system replaced the original fixtures, and a matte black Euro sliding door finishes the enclosure with a clean, modern look throughout.
Full scope of work:
Standard wetspace install package
Tile tear out
Custom White Pearl shower base
White Pearl wall panels, 60x96 and 36x96, with edge trim
15" corner shelf
Brushed nickel Tru-Temp valve
Matte black Retreat shower system
Matte black Euro sliding door, 60x70, clear glass
24" matte black ErgoSafetyBar grab bar
Benefits
Results of This Puyallup Tub-to-Shower Conversion
No More Wasted Space
The unused tub is gone, replaced with a shower Jess and Kathy actually use every day.
No More Grout to Maintain
White Pearl panels seal as one piece, so there are no grout lines left to crack, stain, or collect mold.
Real Safety Support
A wall-backed grab bar gives secure support that a clamp-on option can't match.
A Custom Fit
The shower base was built to the size of the space rather than forced into a standard size.
Fast Turnaround
The full conversion was completed in two days.
Is a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Right for Your Home?
A tub-to-shower conversion like Jess and Kathy's makes sense for a specific set of situations. This may be a good fit if:
Your tub sits unused and you'd rather have more shower room
You want a permanent, wall-backed grab bar rather than a temporary fixture
You're looking for a local company rather than a national franchise
You want a custom-fit shower base built to your exact space
You want a fast turnaround without a full room renovation
You're comfortable with a project timeline of about two days

Do you actually work in Puyallup, or come from farther away?
We're a local company, and our crew is in Puyallup regularly. Jess and Kathy found us at the Puyallup Home Show and chose us specifically because we're local, not a national franchise passing through.
What is a wall-backed grab bar, and how is it different from a clamp-on bar?
A wall-backed grab bar is anchored directly into the wall framing before the finish panels go on, making it far more secure than a clamp-on or suction-cup bar.
What is White Pearl?
White Pearl is a wall panel pattern in our grout-free Sentrel system. It installs as large, sealed sheets instead of individual tiles, so there are no grout lines to crack, stain, or collect mold.
