Modern bathroom with new bathtub and glass-enclosed shower in Milwaukee, WI

Leave the Bathroom Frustrations Behind

Bathrooms age quietly. The grout gets a little grimier each year, the tub finish starts to dull, and before long, the whole room feels like it belongs to a previous decade. You get used to it because you have to, but getting used to something isn’t the same as being happy with it.

The good news is that getting there is simpler than most people expect. Empire Home Remodeling has spent more than 15 years helping Milwaukee and Southern Wisconsin homeowners close that gap and land on a bathroom worth waking up to every morning. It’s time to stop settling for a bathroom you merely tolerate, and let us build one you’ll actually love using.

Focused Updates Where They Matter Most

The tub or shower sets the tone for the rest of the bathroom, which is why our services focus on the wet areas people use and notice most. Whether you’re working with a worn-out tub, a cramped shower, or a layout that no longer works for your family, we have an approach that fits.

Milwaukee homeowners frequently partner with us for:

Bathtub Replacement: When your current tub looks tired, stains easily, or feels like more trouble than it’s worth, a replacement gives the entire bathroom a fresh start.
Shower Remodels: From outdated tile to aging fiberglass, we can design a custom shower system that fits your style and makes everyday use effortless.
Walk-In Tubs: For homeowners who want easier entry, a comfortable built-in seat, and added security during bathing, walk-in tubs offer a practical solution.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions: If your bathtub rarely sees water, converting it to a shower can open up the room and make better use of the square footage you have.
Shower-to-Tub Conversions: Sometimes a household grows, and a bathtub becomes essential again. We can make that switch happen cleanly and quickly.
Walk-In Showers: Walk-in showers are one of the most versatile updates we offer, with options for low-threshold entries, built-in seating, grab bars, and custom wall surrounds.
Bathtub Surrounds: Acrylic surrounds wrap the tub area in a polished finish that holds up over time without the grout maintenance that makes older tile such a chore.

Every project is built around the specific space, the people using it, and the habits that play out in that room. What works beautifully in one home may not make any sense in another, and we design with that in mind.

Low-Maintenance Materials, Personalized Design

The material behind your new shower or tub matters enormously over time. Grout breaks down, fiberglass dulls, and older surfaces develop cracks and stains that feel impossible to keep up with. BCI acrylic takes a more sensible approach: its smooth, non-porous surface doesn’t absorb moisture, which means mold and mildew have far fewer places to take hold.

The surface is also engineered to resist cracking, fading, discoloration, and daily wear and tear, so your bathroom keeps looking beautiful without demanding constant upkeep. For busy households, that’s a meaningful upgrade.

Every BCI acrylic product comes with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, reflecting our confidence in our installations. Beyond durability, BCI also offers genuine design flexibility. Our specialists can help you select colors, textures, wall patterns, shelving, seating, threshold styles, and hardware that reflect your taste and complement the rest of your home.

From the First Look to the Final Details

We believe a remodel should never leave you feeling uncertain about what happens next. Our process is built around honest communication, careful preparation, and an installation experience that respects your home and your time.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Consultation

One of our specialists will come to your home, review the existing setup, and listen to what you want to change. Together, we’ll explore product options, layout possibilities, and design choices that match what you’re envisioning.

Measurements

We’ll take precise measurements and walk you through a clear, itemized cost picture before anything moves forward. You’ll know exactly what the project involves and what it’ll cost before you make any decisions.

Installation

Our technicians will protect the surrounding areas, remove the old unit, and install your new system with careful attention to fit, finish, and long-term performance. The goal is to complete the work efficiently while treating your home with respect.

Walkthrough

Before we pack up, we’ll review the finished space with you, cover care instructions, and discuss your warranty coverage in full. And if any questions arise after the project closes, our team will always be available to help.

When it's all said and done, you should have a bathroom you’re genuinely excited about and zero loose ends left behind. Anything less than that isn’t a job well done in our book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because BCI acrylic is non-porous, it doesn’t trap moisture the way grout-lined tile can. The surface resists staining, fading, and surface damage over time, and every product is backed by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

Yes, and it’s often a particularly good fit for smaller bathrooms. Removing an unused tub and replacing it with a thoughtfully designed shower can make the room easier to navigate.

Many homeowners find that a walk-in shower makes the bathroom feel more accessible over the long term. Low-threshold entry, built-in seating, and grab bars can all be incorporated to support safety without making the space feel institutional.
