Swapping an unused tub for a walk-in shower is one of the most worthwhile bathroom projects we do. You reclaim space, make the room easier to use, and modernize it without a full gut. We build custom tiled conversions, not drop-in prefab units, so the result matches the rest of a quality home.
Ready to convert?We remove the old unit, adjust the plumbing for a shower drain and valve, rebuild and waterproof the walls, and tile the new enclosure. The waterproofing behind the tile is what keeps the work sound for years, so it is not a place to cut corners.
We can also build curbless, zero-threshold showers for easier access.
A custom tiled walk-in conversion typically starts around $25,000 all-in and moves up with the size of the space, the tile and glass you choose, and what we find once the old tub is out. Most fall in our Essential to Mid-Range Finish Packs.
If you are comparing against a budget prefab insert, that is a different product than what we build. We separate labor from materials and trade work so you see where every dollar goes. See the lineup on our Finish Packs page, or read how the number comes together on our cost page.
Submit the online estimate and we send a preliminary estimate within 24 hours. If you move forward, the same licensed GC who quoted your project runs it from the first measurement to the final walkthrough, with a clear schedule. If we find anything behind the old tub, like water damage, we show you before we keep going.
Most run about three weeks depending on scope and finishes. Your quote includes a schedule.
No. We build custom tiled showers with proper waterproofing, which last longer and match a quality home better than a drop-in insert.
Yes. Zero-threshold showers are a common request and we build them with the right waterproofing and drainage.
It depends on the plumbing work and whether you are in the city or a suburb. We handle the permit process and tell you what your project needs up front.
