Yes. While we specialize in the Onyx Collection, we are the leading "Specialist" installers for homeowners who prefer to source their own materials from retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, McCoy's, Morrison Supply, NWS, ProSource, or Coburn’s. If you have purchased a high-quality system and need Longview's #1 Rated Bathroom Remodeler to ensure a leak-free, high-performance installation, we are here to help.

We have extensive experience installing a wide variety of industry-leading solid surface and acrylic systems. Our team is trained to install the following brands to the Product Requirements:

• Solid Surface & Panel Systems: Swanstone, FlexStone, and Castico.
• Shower Doors & Enclosures: DreamLine.
• Specialty & Luxury Units: Ella (Vinyl Walk-In Showers & Walk-In Tubs).
• Vinyl Alcove Showers : Sterling and Delta.

Most East Texas homeowners worry about a 3-week construction mess. At Ekon Bath, our specialized process typically completes a high-performance tub-to-shower conversion in 2 to 3 days. We focus on efficiency without the shortcuts found in "one-day" plastic liners.

Our hard East Texas water is notorious for staining grout. We recommend the Onyx Collection. It is a 100% waterproof, non-porous solid surface. Because there are no grout lines, there is nowhere for mold or mildew to grow. You will spend an average of 50% less time/money cleaning your Onyx shower than a standard tiled shower. 

Absolutely. For our neighbors in Longview, Marshall, Gilmer, and Hallsville looking to age in place, we install low-curb or curbless entries. Combined with non-slip flooring and our internal 'safety blocking' for secure grab bars, we eliminate the #1 fall risk in the home: the high tub wall.

A general contractor is a "jack of all trades." Ekon Bath is a specialist. We focus exclusively on bathroom engineering. We don't just cover up problems; we open the walls, update everything to Current Local Building Codes, and build a foundation that is engineered to last a lifetime.

Yes. Modern ADA compliance can be luxurious. We use designer safety features from the Onyx Collection, Kohler, and Moen that blend seamlessly with your matte black or brushed nickel fixtures. You get the safety you need with the high-end look you want.

In the current Longview and Tyler markets, luxury walk-in showers are highly coveted. Homebuyers are prioritizing accessibility and modern, low-maintenance designs over dated garden tubs that rarely get used.

Many older homes in East Texas have narrow "shotgun" or galley-style bathrooms. We specialize in these compact layouts, utilizing custom-fit Onyx bases and sliding glass doors to make even the narrowest spaces feel like a luxury spa.

Ekon Bath provides a full Red Carpet Experience. We manage the entire project from the initial meeting to the final brush stroke. You only have one point of contact: us.

Safety blocking is the "Ekon Bath Standard." We install solid wood reinforcements behind your shower walls during construction. This ensures that if you ever need grab bars…now or in the future…they are anchored into the structure of the house, not just the drywall.

This is one of our most popular requests in Longview. We can remove both units to create a spacious, double-headed walk-in shower. It opens up the room, increases safety, and adds a massive "wow" factor to your master suite.

The Onyx Collection is guaranteed for life. It won’t crack, chip, or peel like fiberglass or acrylic. It’s a solid-core material that is as tough as it is beautiful, making it the premier choice for East Texas homeowners.

No. Traditional tile shower floors in East Texas frequently crack because they are rigid and cannot handle the natural shifting of our local soil. The Onyx Collection shower base is engineered to be the #1 shower base system in the United States because it combines the "heavy-duty" weight and premium texture of tile with a proprietary solid-core durability that is guaranteed never to crack. Unlike subpar, flimsy single-panel plastic systems that devalue your home, Onyx is a thick, high-performance material that offers the luxury visual appeal of custom stone. You get a leak-proof, low-maintenance foundation that protects your home's integrity and value for a lifetime.

Not at all; in fact, it often increases it. While traditional tile is beautiful, East Texas homebuyers in 2026 are prioritizing longevity and low maintenance. Because Ekon Bath is a certified Onyx Collection dealer, your installation comes with a Lifetime Warranty that tile simply cannot match. Homebuyers find massive value in a shower that is guaranteed to be 100% leak-proof and grout-free, meaning they won't have to worry about the mold, mildew, or water damage common in older East Texas tile showers. You get the high-end look of custom stone with a "forever" guarantee that protects the integrity and value of your home.

Yes. Ekon Bath is the premier bathroom specialist serving the heart of East Texas. Our primary service areas include Gregg, Harrison, Smith, and Rusk counties, as well as Upshur, Wood, Titus, and Camp counties. We also provide full-service remodeling to homeowners in Cass, Franklin, Hopkins, Marion, Morris, and Panola counties. If you are in East Texas, you are in our service zone.

We specialize in heavy-duty, frameless safety glass in 3/8" to 1/2" thicknesses. Unlike flimsy standard doors, our glass provides the "heavy" luxury feel that matches the quality of your Onyx shower base. Available configurations include:

• Single Doors: Standard 36" x 76" for compact spaces.
• Door & Panel: 60" x 76" for larger walk-in footprints.
• Sliding/Parallel Systems: Space-saving barn door or parallel systems up to 60" x 80".
• Double Doors: For wide, high-end master suite entries.

Hard water is a major concern in rural counties in East Texas. To protect your investment, Ekon Bath includes Ceramic Coating as a standard on the interior side of every glass installation. This creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels water and minerals.

• Pro Tip: To maintain that "Day One" look, we recommend squeegeeing after every use.
• Ventilation: Ensure your bathroom fan is rated for the space and remains on for at least 60 minutes after your shower to pull moisture out of the air.

Yes. While we are the premier Onyx specialist in East Texas, we also provide and install the Swanstone Solid Surface shower panels and bases.

Absolutely. We offer a full suite of hardware...including robe hooks, towel bars, pull bars, and knobs...in finishes that match your bathroom fixtures perfectly:

• Brushed Gold
• Matte Black
• Brushed Nickel
• Chrome
• We even offer clear door handle pulls for a truly "invisible" frameless look.

Depending on the size and depth of your walk-in shower, a door may be optional. While we use specialized strips and seals on our frameless glass to catch water flow, many larger "wet-room" designs or ADA-compliant spaces function perfectly without glass, allowing for true barrier-free entry. We will assess your specific "splash zone" during your consultation.

Yes! We have an exclusive showroom in Longview dedicated entirely to the Onyx Collection and high-performance glass. Our displays include:

• Two Full Walk-In Showers with frameless glass doors.
• Vanity & Countertop Options from the Onyx Collection.
• The Tushy Bidet integrated into a Kohler toilet (available for live demonstration in our guest bathroom).
• Hardware & Finish Samples so you can feel the weight and quality of every handle and hook

We offer a Free 3D Safety & Design Consultation. We come to your home in Longview, Gilmer, Hallsville, Marshall, or surrounding areas to measure your space and show you exactly how your new sanctuary will look before we ever start your project. 

Yes. We are the premier installers for high-performance walk-in tubs in the Longview area. We specialize in transforming difficult-to-access bathrooms into safe, therapeutic retreats. Whether you are looking for a standard safety tub or a luxury hydrotherapy system, we ensure the installation meets the Products Requirements.

While walk-in showers are great for quick access, a walk-in tub offers therapeutic benefits that a shower cannot. It is an investment in both safety and wellness.

• Accessibility: With low-threshold entries and watertight doors, you can step in and out without the "trip hazard" of a standard tub wall.

• Hydrotherapy: We install units with massaging water jets and air bubble jets to soothe joints and muscles...perfect for those managing arthritis or circulation issues.

• Advanced Healing: We offer installations featuring Chromotherapy (therapeutic lighting), Aromatherapy, and even Oxygenated Water systems (like those from SanSpa) that deep-clean pores and revitalize the skin.

Absolutely. By pairing your walk-in tub with Solid Surface Paneling (Example: The Onyx Collection) on the surrounding walls, the space becomes a dual-purpose "wet room." You get the safety of the tub with the low-maintenance, mold-free convenience of the solid surface wall systems.

We install the industry’s most trusted brands, including SanSpa, Ella's Bubbles, Horow, Signature Hardware, and American Standard. Because these units require specialized plumbing (high-flow drains) and electrical (dedicated circuits), it is crucial to hire a specialist like Ekon Bath rather than a general handyman.
