Tub-to-shower conversions
- Typical range
- $11,000 to $22,000
- Time on site
- 7 to 12 working days
- First step
- Free design consultation
If the tub mostly holds shampoo bottles, a conversion gives you a bigger, safer shower in the same space, usually in under two weeks and without touching the rest of the bathroom.
We remove the tub and surround, fix whatever we find behind it, move the valve to a sensible height, and build a tiled shower with a low threshold. Most conversions fit right in the old tub alcove.
Thinking about resale? If you have another tub in the house, most buyers won't mind. If this is your only tub, we'll talk it through with you first.
What's included
- Tub and surround removal and disposal

Good questions
Can you just put an acrylic insert over the old tub?
We don't do liners. We remove the tub so we can see and fix what is behind it, then build a shower that will last.
Will the shower be big enough?
A standard tub alcove is about 60 by 30 inches. That makes a generous shower, bigger than most stand-alone stalls.
