People use the words shower remodel for different jobs. This guide sorts four of them, each with its own price, so you know which number is yours. If the whole room needs work, that is a full bathroom remodel, and it has its own range.
- This guide covers four shower jobs. Each has its own price range.
- A walk-in shower where no tub comes out, with the rest of the room untouched, runs $12,000 to $18,000.
- A curbless entry adds $2,500 to that walk-in shower price.
- A tub-to-shower conversion runs $15,000 to $20,000. That is one price for every tub.
- We never price a shower-only job from a full-remodel range.
The four shower jobs and our prices
| Job | Our price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Tile surround and waterproofing only | $4,500 to $5,500 | The tub stays. The walls around it get a new tile surround with waterproofing. About a week. |
| 2. New tub with a new surround | $6,000 to $9,000 | The old tub comes out. A new tub and a new surround go in. |
| 3. Walk-in shower only | $12,000 to $18,000 | A shower is rebuilt in its current footprint. No tub comes out. The rest of the bathroom stays untouched. Curbless adds $2,500. |
| 4. Tub-to-shower conversion | $15,000 to $20,000 | A tub comes out. A tiled walk-in shower goes in. The price is the same for a tub in an alcove and for a corner garden tub. |
How to tell which job you need
- Look at what is there now. A tub and a shower are different starts. A tub can be a tub in an alcove or a corner garden tub.
- Decide what you want at the end. You keep the tub, you get a new tub, or you get a walk-in shower.
- Decide about the rest of the room. If the rest of the bathroom stays as it is, it is one of the four jobs here. If more of the room changes too, ask us at the walk-through which price applies.
A tub that stays is Job 1. A new tub is Job 2. A shower that is rebuilt as a walk-in shower is Job 3. A tub that becomes a walk-in shower is Job 4. That is true for a tub in an alcove and for a corner garden tub.
Jobs 1 and 2: the tub stays, or a new tub goes in
Job 1 is a new tile surround with waterproofing. The tub stays in place. It runs $4,500 to $5,500 and takes about a week.
Job 2 is a new tub with a new surround. It runs $6,000 to $9,000.
Our tile tub surround cost guide covers both jobs. If you have not picked a tub type yet, read our guide to a freestanding or built-in tub.
Job 3: a walk-in shower, with the rest of the room untouched
This job rebuilds a shower in its current footprint. No tub comes out. The rest of the bathroom stays as it is. It runs $12,000 to $18,000. That covers demo, a Schluter waterproofing system, tile and frameless glass. Frameless glass is the only glass we install.
The walk-in shower cost guide lists what the price buys, line by line. See how we waterproof a shower for the part behind the tile.
Curbless is an add-on to this job. A curbless shower is the Job 3 price plus $2,500. A zero-entry design changes how the pan and the slope are built, so tell us early.

Job 4: a tub-to-shower conversion
A tub comes out and a tiled walk-in shower goes in. This job runs $15,000 to $20,000. That is one price for every tub. It is the same for a tub in an alcove and for a corner garden tub, with the rest of the room left alone.
A shower rebuild and a conversion end in the same place, a tiled walk-in shower. They do not start in the same place. A rebuild works inside a footprint that was already a shower. The drain is where a shower drain belongs, and the framing fits the job. A conversion starts with a tub. For a tub in an alcove, the drain is moved and resized, the valve height is reset, and the alcove is reframed for a pan and a curb. That extra plumbing and carpentry is why a conversion costs more. A corner garden tub job has the same price. If you are not sure which job your bathroom needs, the walk-through settles it.
The tub-to-shower conversion cost guide shows what that price buys. If you are not sure about giving up the tub, read walk-in showers vs. bathtubs.
When the shower is part of a full bathroom remodel
Sometimes the shower is one part of a bigger job. A full primary bathroom remodel runs $25,000 to $45,000. A full guest or hall bathroom remodel runs $15,000 to $20,000.
Those ranges are for complete bathrooms. We quote the shower jobs separately on purpose. A shower-only job never gets priced from a full-remodel range, and you always know which number you are looking at.
The bathroom remodel cost guide shows what each budget buys.
What moves the price of a walk-in shower
- Tile. Tile is the biggest variable. Tile run to the ceiling adds labor.
- Glass. A single fixed panel and a full frameless enclosure are different line items.
- Extras. Benches, niches and more than one shower head add build time.
- What demo shows. In an older Fort Worth home we sometimes find past leaks or rotted framing.
If we find damage, we stop, show you photos and price the fix in writing before any extra work begins. That is a change order. Change orders are priced at cost plus 25%, in writing, before the work continues.
Payment, permits and warranty
- Projects under $60,000 run 50% down and 50% at completion.
- Permits are billed at cost. They are not in the quote.
- Quotes are good for 30 days.
- Every job carries a written warranty with two terms: 3 years on everything we touch and 5 years on our workmanship.
- A typical job starts 1 to 2 weeks out, depending on the schedule.
It starts with a free walk-through. We look at the actual shower, we write the scope, and we price it. To set a walk-through, call or text 817-210-7117.
