In our customers' words, and the owner's
Two customers walk you through their remodel on video, Jeremy introduces himself, and three Google reviews say the rest, copied word for word.
I don’t think you could find anybody any better to work with than these people.The homeowners, in their video review
Jeremy grew up in Tulsa from the age of 8 and started learning the trade at 16. He still answers the phone himself. Ask him about your Sand Springs bathroom and you get a straight answer: what he would keep, what he would tear out, and what he would never put in his own house.

Sand Springs bathroom renovation
Charles Page's town, seen from behind the tile
Sand Springs was incorporated in 1912 and has kept building ever since, so a remodel here can mean a bathroom from before 1940 or one from the last few years. Each age hides something different. These are the public numbers, and what they mean once a shower comes out.

What that means once the old shower is out
-
Houses from the town's first decades
More than one Sand Springs home in eight was built before 1950. Bathrooms from then tend to be small, often with a cast iron tub and tile set in a thick bed of mortar. That mortar bed is sturdy, and taking it out is slow, heavy work, so your quote says up front whether it stays or goes.Source 1
-
Letters about your water line
In November 2024 the city started mailing notices telling each water customer whether the line to the house is galvanized or of unknown material, part of an inventory it expects to finish within three years. If yours said galvanized, it is worth checking the pipes inside too. With the bathroom wall open, new supply lines in that wall are one more line on the quote, not a separate job.Source 3
-
Inside the city limits, or just outside
Inside the limits, the city says most alterations that involve plumbing, electrical work or a load-bearing wall need a building or trade permit, and that building permits generally take 3 to 10 working days to review. Not every house people call Sand Springs is inside them, though, and Oklahoma state law does not require a permit for every bathroom remodel. Whether yours needs one depends on the work and on which side of the line the house sits, so we go over it with you at the estimate.Source 4

Fiberglass and acrylic in the newer houses
More than a quarter of the city's homes are from 2000 or later, and builders of those years often put in one-piece fiberglass or acrylic showers. They age from the floor up: a base that flexes underfoot cracks near the drain. When we pulled a worn acrylic stall in Bixby, there was old tile still underneath it. See that job.Source 1
-
A town of owners
Seven in ten occupied homes here are lived in by their owners, a bigger share than across the county. If that is you, build the next bathroom for the years ahead: wood blocking for grab bars while the wall is open, a shower you can walk into, and a doorway wide enough for a walker.Source 1

Walk-in tub installation Sand Springs
Old house, new house, or the one you'll stay in?
The same shower remodel plays out differently in each. Choose the one closest to yours to see what we usually find and what we would do.
An older house
Respect the old walls, replace the old pipes
About a quarter of Sand Springs homes date from before 1960. Their bathrooms are often small, with a cast iron tub, tile set in mortar, and old pipe behind it. We open the wet walls, replace what is worn out, and build the new shower on cement or foam board under a membrane, with tile that looks at home in an older house.
- Plumbing in the open wall brought up to code
- Old mortar-bed tile: kept or removed, said plainly
- Tile and trim that suit the age of the house
A newer house
Trade the builder's fiberglass for tile
Newer Sand Springs houses often came with one-piece fiberglass or acrylic tub-showers. They look fine for years, then the floor starts to give and the finish goes dull. We take the unit out, check the framing and subfloor under it, and build a tiled shower in the same space, with or without the tub.
- Same footprint, usually no walls moved
- Tub out and a walk-in shower in, if nobody bathes
- Blocking for grab bars while the studs are bare
A house to stay in
Build for the years you plan to stay
If you mean to stay put, the choice is usually between a walk-in tub and a curbless shower. A walk-in tub suits someone who needs to sit and soak. A curbless shower suits a walker, a wheelchair or a shower chair. We make that call with the person who will bathe there, not for them.
- Walk-in tub or curbless shower, chosen with the bather
- Grab bars placed where the bather reaches
- VA help explained, extras gone over line by line
Shower remodel Sand Springs, OK
Tile, acrylic, fiberglass or solid surface? Choose by what fails first.
Every shower wall looks good the day it goes in. What matters is how you clean it, how long it holds up, and which part gives out first. Here is how the four common choices compare. We install tile, acrylic and solid-surface walls, so the pick is yours.
Tile over a waterproofed board
The most work to build, and the longest-lived. The tile is the finish; the membrane behind it is what keeps the water out.
- How it goes together
- Cement or foam board on the studs, a waterproofing membrane over every seam and corner, then tile. Grout is not waterproof, so the membrane does that job.
- Cleaning
- A squeegee after you shower and a pH-neutral cleaner. Large porcelain tile on the walls means fewer grout lines to scrub.
- What gives out first
- The soft caulk joints at the corners and along the floor, long before the tile. Recaulking is a small job, and the wall behind it stays dry.
- What one cost us to build
- A Bixby walk-in shower, where a worn acrylic stall became tile on the Schluter waterproofing system, came to about $7,000 to $7,500. See that job.
Acrylic and fiberglass
Quick to put in. We install acrylic wall panels and one-day shower kits often, and the base under them decides how long they last.
- Fiberglass
- A thin gelcoat over glass fiber. Light and the least expensive, but the gelcoat dulls, scratches and stains as it ages.
- Acrylic
- A solid acrylic sheet backed with fiberglass. It keeps its color and shine longer, and light scratches buff out. Scouring powder ruins it.
- What gives out first
- The base. One that was not set in a bed of mortar flexes underfoot until a crack opens near the drain, and water gets underneath.
- Start from a sound wall
- New panels go on a flat, dry wall, so the old surround comes off first and any damage behind it is dealt with. When we pulled that Bixby stall out, there was old tile still underneath it.
All four, side by side
Solid-surface panels are the fourth choice: sheets of resin and minerals with no grout lines, heavy, and glued to a flat, sound wall. The silicone at their seams and corners is the part you maintain.
| Tile over a waterproofed board | Solid-surface panels | Acrylic | Fiberglass | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | Squeegee and a mild cleaner, plus grout lines to keep up | Wipe down, no grout | Wipe down, never anything abrasive | Wipe down, harder once the gelcoat dulls |
| How long it lasts | Longest of the four, if the waterproofing under it is right | Long, if the wall behind it is flat and dry | Mostly decided by how well the base was set | Shortest of the four |
| What gives out first | Caulk at the corners and the floor | Silicone at the seams and corners | The base flexing, then a crack near the drain | The base, and a finish that turns chalky |
| A damaged spot | One tile can be cut out and replaced | Scratches sand out, since the color runs all the way through | Light scratches buff out, cracks need a patch | A patch kit, rarely a true color match |
| Do we install it? | Yes, over a waterproofing membrane | Yes, on a flat, sound wall | Yes, panels and one-day kits, on a bedded base | Usually the builder's original; we replace it with any of the other three |

Showers we rebuilt in nearby towns
Documented jobs from Bixby and Glenpool, each card marked with its own town. Two of them were old acrylic or fiberglass showers we replaced with tile, and every one lists its scope and the price range from the signed quote.
-
A half-inch ledge, built for a wheelchair
A Bixby homeowner's master shower was a worn acrylic stall with a step-over threshold. We built a tiled walk-in shower with a half-inch ledge a wheelchair can cross, grab bars, a niche and a light overhead.
-
Fiberglass tub out, tiled shower in
A fiberglass tub and shower combo with a curtain, in a Bixby home. We turned it into a tiled walk-in shower with marble-look walls, a pebble mosaic floor, corner shelves and a hand shower on a slide bar.
-
A safe shower for a U.S. military veteran
The Tinker Federal Credit Union Foundation asked us to build an accessible shower for a Korean War veteran in Glenpool, within a nonprofit budget. The corner jacuzzi tub came out, and a curbless roll-in shower with grab bars went in its place.
Bathroom remodel cost, Sand Springs
What Sand Springs callers want to know first
What does a bathroom remodel cost in Sand Springs?
A full remodel usually runs $10,000 to $25,000, and our smallest jobs start at $2,500 to $5,000. In a Sand Springs house the big swings come from behind the old shower: tile set in a mortar bed takes longer to remove, old supply lines may need replacing, and work inside the city limits may need a permit. Our cost guide walks through the rest.
How much is a shower remodel in Sand Springs?
It depends on the size, the tile, the glass and whether the plumbing moves. For a real number: a Bixby walk-in shower we built in place of a worn acrylic stall, with new valves, a new drain, a niche and grab bars, came to about $7,000 to $7,500. We price yours after we see the room, in an itemized quote within 1 to 2 days.
Do you offer financing for a Sand Springs bathroom remodel?
We do not run a financing program. Homeowners who want to spread the cost usually go to a Tulsa-area lender such as Tulsa Teachers Credit Union, Arvest or Regent Bank, and take our itemized quote with them.
Do you install walk-in tubs for seniors in Sand Springs?
Yes, and curbless showers too, because a walk-in tub is not right for everyone. You sit inside while it fills and while it drains, and a deep tub needs a lot of hot water at once. For someone who needs to sit and soak, it can be the right call. For someone with a walker or a shower chair, a curbless shower usually serves better. Walk-in tubs.
Will the VA help pay for a walk-in tub in Sand Springs?
Yes, if a VA doctor prescribes it for a medical reason. The VA's HISA benefit has a lifetime limit of $6,800 for a service-connected disability or a rating of 50% or more, and $2,000 otherwise. We never cut material or labor to fit that limit: anything beyond the prescription is billed to you, and we go over it line by line first. How we work with the VA.
Can you bring a downtown Sand Springs restroom up to ADA code?
Yes. We plan clearances, grab bars, fixtures and signage to the 2010 ADA Standards, and in an older downtown building we check the door width and turning space first, because those decide what fits. Inside the city limits, the city says plumbing work generally needs a trade permit, so we talk through what your job needs before anything starts. ADA restroom compliance.
How do you keep a Sand Springs business open during the work?
We agree on the schedule with you before we start. Where the building has two restrooms, one can stay open while we work on the other, if that is what you want. Most commercial restrooms take between 2 days and a week.
