They'll cover your old tub. We take it out.

A shower you can walk straight into, finished in three days — and nobody comes to your home until you've said yes.

Fixed prices from $8,900 — published below.

Day three
The tub is gone.
Removed, not covered over
Before you get any quote

What “one day” actually means.

A tub-to-shower conversion done properly takes three days because of what happens on day one. The tub comes out. The wall opens. The drain line changes from 1½ inch to 2 inch. The substrate gets waterproofed before a single panel goes back on.

A one-day installation skips all of that. The acrylic goes over what is already there. It looks finished the same evening. Whatever was behind your old tub is still behind your new shower.

That isn't a scandal. For some bathrooms it is genuinely fine, and it costs less. But you should know which one you are buying, and the quote will not tell you.

Ask any company you're considering one question: “Are you removing the tub, or covering it?” The answer tells you most of what you need to know — including about us.
Day one: the tub comes out, the wall opens, and the drain is replaced. We photograph every stage before anything closes.
How it works

Nobody comes to the house until you've said yes.

Our systems are standardized, so we do not need to stand in your bathroom to price them. Six photos is enough. You get a real number the same day — not a range, not an estimate, and not a salesman in your living room at seven in the evening.

STEP 01
Text six photos
Two minutes on your phone. No form, no appointment, nobody calling you back four times.
STEP 02
Fixed price, same day
Itemized and in writing. The number you get is the number you pay. No change orders.
STEP 03
$500 holds your date
Refundable up to 48 hours before we start. Then half on the first morning when your materials arrive, and half when the work is finished and you've approved it.
STEP 04
Three days on site
Same named crew, photographed before they arrive. Photo updates each day. Video walkthrough at the end.

No lip to step over. No grab at the door frame. Warm underfoot, light where you need it, and a bench if you want to sit.

Most people tell us the first shower feels strange — because nothing about it requires thinking.

Recent work

Three days, start to finish.

Demolition, waterproofing, completion — you get all three whether you ask or not.

I had three quotes. Sterling was the only one who told me what was behind my tub, and the only one who put a number on the website before I called. The photos of the open wall sold it before the price did.

My mother refused grab bars for two years. She said they would make the house look like a ward. She has now shown the new shower to three of her friends. That is the part I did not expect.

Quoted $11,900 and paid $11,900. After what friends have told me about renovations, I genuinely did not expect that to be true.

I live four hours away and could not get down there. They quoted from photos, sent updates every evening, and walked me through it on video at the end. My brother and I both had the report the same day.

Day three ran late by about two hours and they took the $500 off without me asking. I would have said nothing. That told me more about them than anything on the website.

They talked me out of the expensive one. I had called about the $16,900 package and Tatios said my bathroom did not need it. Saved me five thousand dollars and earned every referral I have sent since.

In writing, every time

Five things we put on paper.

Fixed price, no change orders
The number in your quote is the number on your invoice. If we find something behind the wall, that is our problem, not a line item.
Half when we start. Half when you're happy.
$500 holds your date, refundable to 48 hours before. Half is due the first morning, when your materials are delivered and paid for. The rest only after you have seen the finished shower and approved it — the big companies want the whole amount before they arrive.
Ten-year waterproofing warranty
Not on the panels — on the waterproofing behind them. That is the part that actually fails, and it is the part nobody else warrants.
Three days, or we pay you
If we are not finished on day three, we take $500 off. Another $500 for every day after that. One crew, one bathroom at a time — which is exactly why we can promise it.
You'll know who is knocking
The same two people from demolition to handover — never a rotating crew, never a subcontractor you have not heard of. Their photographs and first names come to you the day before we start, and everyone entering your home is police-checked and covered under our insurance and WSIB.
Free, before you spend anything

The Bathroom Report.

Send six photos and we send back a written assessment of your bathroom. Not a sales quote — an actual document you keep.

It is free whether or not you hire us, and you are welcome to take it to any other contractor in London. We would rather you made a good decision than a fast one.
How we quote

We will often tell you to spend less.

Roughly a third of the time we recommend the $8,900 package to someone who called us about the $16,900 one. About one family in ten we tell to wait and spend nothing at all yet.

A company willing to talk you down is the only kind you should believe when it talks you up.

Who does the work

An engineer quotes it. An engineer builds it.

I'm Tatios Kechicha. Twenty years running industrial installation, commissioning and maintenance projects — work where a bad detail behind a wall has consequences you cannot paint over. That is the standard I build bathrooms to.

There is no showroom here, no sales team and no television budget. That is why the price is what it is, and it is why the person who quotes your bathroom is the person standing in it three days later.

While we're in the house

What the three days are actually like.

Most people are too polite to ask this, so here it is without being asked.

Can I still use the toilet and sink?
Yes — except for a few hours on day one while the drain line is changed. We tell you the night before exactly when that window is.
Where do I shower in the meantime?
We arrange it. You'll be without a shower for two nights, so we cover a pass at a local pool or gym — or a night's hotel if you'd rather. Tell us which when you book. If this is your only bathroom, say so and we plan the sequence around it at no extra cost.
Will there be dust through the house?
We seal the doorway with a dust barrier before anything comes off the wall, run floor protection from the front door to the bathroom, and clean up every evening before we leave.
Do I need to be home?
Only the first morning, so we can walk it together. After that it is entirely up to you. Plenty of our customers are at work, and a good number are in another province.
Do I get to choose anything?
Yes. You choose the finish, the glass, and where the niche and the seat go. We bring physical samples on the first morning so you are holding them, not looking at a screen.
What time do you start and finish?
On site by 8:00, packed up by 5:00, and never on a Sunday. If that does not suit the household, tell us and we will work around it.
Nothing that looks like hospital equipment

A rail that reads as a towel bar.

This is the objection nobody in our trade takes seriously, and it is the one that actually stops people. It is almost never the money. It is what a chrome bar says about you every time you walk past it.

Standard fitting
What most contractors fit
Chrome, straight from the medical catalogue. Oversized flanges, exposed screws, matched to nothing. It works — and it announces itself daily.
Sterling Shower Co.
What we fit
Slim profile, concealed mounts, brushed nickel matched to the fittings already there. Blocked into studs. Visitors read it as a towel bar.
We install eight bathrooms a month. That is the whole capacity.
One crew, three days per bathroom, and the founder on every job. We are not trying to be the biggest company in London — we are trying to be the one you would recommend. When the month is full, we book you into the next one and tell you honestly when that is.
Check this month's availability

When we are not the right call.

If you want a fully tiled custom shower with a bench cut into the wall and a mosaic floor, we are not your best option. That is a different trade done properly by tile setters, and we will happily tell you who to call in London.

If your bathroom is smaller than roughly 5 by 7 feet, a conversion may not gain you much usable space. We will say so before you spend anything.

And if the tub is structurally fine and you simply want it looking newer, a refinisher will do that for a fifth of what we charge. It is a real option and it is often the right one.

We would rather lose the job than take one we are not the best answer to. It is a small industry and people talk.
Questions we actually get

The things people ask before they call.

Why are you cheaper than the big companies?
No showroom, no commissioned sales team, no television advertising. Those are real costs and somebody pays them. We would rather it were nobody.
Can you really quote from photographs?
Yes, for a standard tub alcove, which is the vast majority of homes here. If your bathroom is unusual we will tell you before taking a deposit, not after.
Who does the plumbing?
An Ontario-licensed plumber, on every job, included in the price. The drain change is permit work and we do not cut corners on it.
What if you find a problem inside the wall?
That is our risk, not yours. The price is fixed. The only exception is significant structural rot or asbestos, which we would stop and discuss before touching — and you would owe nothing.
Where do you work?
London and roughly 80km around it — St. Thomas, Woodstock, Ingersoll, Strathroy, Tillsonburg, Aylmer, Exeter and Stratford. Send a postal code if you are not sure.

Six photos. That's the whole first step.

Send six photos and you get The Bathroom Report — a written assessment of what's behind your wall, which package your bathroom needs, and what it costs. It's free, it's yours to keep, and you're welcome to take it to any contractor you like. Stand in the doorway and shoot one wide photo of each: the bathroom, the tub straight on, the shower wall, the opposite wall with the door, the floor, and the ceiling above the tub. Phone quality is fine.
