When a tub-to-shower conversion makes sense
If you have a bathtub that's rarely used — especially a second or third bathroom in the house — converting it to a shower is one of the most practical remodeling projects you can do. It modernizes the space, makes the bathroom easier to use day-to-day, and because the footprint usually stays the same, it's typically a faster, lower-cost project than a full remodel.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost?
Our Essential Refresh package, built for half baths and smaller-scope projects like a single tub-to-shower conversion, starts at $20,000 and includes design, permitting support, demo, and installation. We'll confirm exact pricing after a free in-home consult.
Why convert a tub to a shower?
Many homeowners convert an unused tub to a walk-in shower to modernize the bathroom, make it easier and safer to use, and open up the room visually. It's a popular option when a home has another tub elsewhere, so losing one isn't a tradeoff.
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
A single tub-to-shower conversion typically takes 2 to 3 weeks, in line with our Essential Refresh package timeline.
Will converting my tub hurt resale value?
It depends on the rest of your home. If you have at least one other tub (especially in a secondary bathroom), converting a second tub to a shower is generally considered a safe, popular update. We're happy to talk through your specific situation during a consult.
