When to Do a Tub to Shower Conversion

Nobody uses the tub. It has become storage. Stepping over the side is the daily problem.

A hall bath or guest bath is a common place for this. A low curb or a curbless floor is available if you want an easier step in.

If the main bathroom needs a larger update, start with a master bathroom remodel or custom bathroom design.

If the waterproofing has failed, the layout does not work, or you already plan to replace the other finishes, do a full bathroom remodel instead of a conversion alone.

What a Tub to Shower Conversion Costs

Price depends on the size of the shower, a curb or curbless entry, whether the drain has to move, the wall finish and glass, and what is found behind the old tub.

FAQs

How much does a tub to shower conversion cost?

Cross Icon Image

Price depends on the shower, not a package rate. Size, curb or curbless entry, drain location, tile or solid-surface walls, glass, and hidden damage all change the number. You get a written price after a walkthrough.

Do you need a permit for a tub to shower conversion in Cary?

Cross Icon Image

Yes, in most cases. Changing the plumbing usually requires a Cary building permit. AG-CM pulls the permit when the work needs one.

How long does a tub to shower conversion take?

Cross Icon Image

A standard shower in the same space takes less time than a curbless floor or a drain that has to move. Tile, grout, and custom glass add days after the walls are up. The schedule is set after we see the bathroom.

What is the difference between a conversion and a full bathroom remodel?

Cross Icon Image

A conversion replaces the tub with a shower. A full remodel also changes the vanity, floor, lighting, or layout. Use a conversion when only the tub is the problem. Use a full bathroom remodel when the whole room needs work.
