Thinking about upgrading your bathroom with a new tub or walk-in shower? Whether you’re replacing an old acrylic tub, converting to a walk-in model, or simply refreshing outdated finishes, Simpson Plumbing makes tub and shower installation easy, efficient, and stress-free. We proudly serve homeowners in Vancouver, Camas, and the greater Portland, Oregon area with expert guidance and honest, high-quality service.
Our team has decades of experience as bathroom remodelers, helping customers choose and install the right tub or shower for their space. And because plumbing is at the heart of every installation, you can count on us to handle everything behind the scenes—whether you’re swapping out fixtures or reworking the water supply and drainage.
One of the first steps in a successful tub and shower installation is choosing the right fixture. From practical to luxurious, the options can feel overwhelming. Should you go with an acrylic tub that’s lightweight and budget-friendly? A cast iron tub for classic durability and heat retention? Or maybe you’re leaning toward walk-in showers with low thresholds and sleek, modern designs.
Simpson Plumbing helps you evaluate the pros and cons of each option based on your space, preferences, and plumbing layout. We also install all types of tub surrounds and shower walls—from fiberglass inserts to custom tile setups—and can guide you through choices that balance functionality, comfort, and style.
We’re here to help with:
Traditional bathtubs and shower-tub combos
Walk-in shower installations with low thresholds
Deep soaking tubs for added relaxation
Accessibility-focused setups for aging-in-place
Custom tub and shower surrounds in a variety of materials
Matching plumbing fixtures including shower heads, faucets, and diverters
Upgrading existing plumbing to match new layouts or fixtures
Whether you’re going for a quick upgrade or planning for aging-in-place convenience, we’ll make sure your selection fits your bathroom, your budget, and your life. Our goal is to make sure your tub or shower not only looks great but performs reliably for years to come.
We know that hiring someone to work inside your home requires trust—and at Simpson Plumbing, we don’t take that lightly. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, our customers often tell us how much they appreciate our attention to detail, cleanliness, and communication throughout the process.
You can expect a clear step by step outline of the work before we begin your shower or tub installation, regular updates during your project, and a tidy space when we’re done. Whether we’re handling a straightforward swap or adjusting plumbing for a more complex tub or shower conversion, we treat every home like it’s our own—because we believe that quality plumbing work goes beyond the pipes.
A new fixture doesn’t always mean a simple swap. In many cases, your tub and shower installation may require updates to your home’s plumbing system. Maybe the new tub drain doesn’t line up with the old one, or the faucet and showerhead need to be relocated to accommodate a taller tub surround or upgraded shower walls. That’s where having a licensed plumber makes all the difference.
Simpson Plumbing is equipped to handle every aspect of plumbing during your installation. Our team will:
Update and reroute water supply lines to fit your new tub or shower configuration
Relocate drain openings and install new drain assemblies as needed
Modify or replace shower valves and faucet placements
Adjust framing and supports for cast iron or acrylic tubs
Seal and secure all connections in accordance with local code
We also make sure every component is properly tested, adjusted, and supported to avoid leaks and long-term issues. From behind-the-wall plumbing to final fixture hookups, our technicians work with precision and care to protect your home and deliver lasting results. No guesswork, no shortcuts—just dependable, high-quality work from a team you can trust.
Installing a tub or shower may seem simple at first glance—but a poor installation can lead to big problems. Common DIY mistakes include unsupported tubs that crack over time, leaks from poorly sealed drains, or shower walls that don’t sit flush against the framing. These issues don’t just affect how your bathroom looks—they can also cause long-term water damage or mold issues behind the walls.
Another important reason to hire a professional is permitting. Depending on the scope of the project, tub and shower installations may require permits and inspections to ensure the work meets local building codes.
Simpson Plumbing takes care of these steps for you, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance issues. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured—giving you peace of mind that your home and investment are protected every step of the way.

Because every installation involves plumbing connections, Simpson Plumbing ensures water lines, drains, and fixtures are properly installed, sealed, and tested—preventing leaks and long-term water damage that general contractors may overlook.
We handle traditional bathtubs, tub-and-shower combos, deep soaking tubs, low-threshold walk-in showers, and accessibility-focused setups. We also install custom surrounds in materials like fiberglass or tile, along with matching faucets, valves, and showerheads.
In many cases, yes. New fixtures may require updated drain locations, relocated water supply lines, or adjusted framing. Our licensed plumbers handle all these adjustments to make sure your new installation works seamlessly and meets code.
The timeline depends on the scope. A simple swap may take a day or two, while projects involving plumbing adjustments or custom tile work may take longer. We’ll provide a clear schedule upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
Some projects do require permits, especially if plumbing is being reconfigured. Simpson Plumbing takes care of all permitting and inspections on your behalf, so your installation is safe, compliant, and stress-free.
