What type of walk-in shower project do you need?

A walk-in shower conversion costs $4,000–$12,000 installed. Prefabricated acrylic or fiberglass units cost less ($3,000–$6,000 installed). Custom tile showers run $6,000–$15,000+. The biggest cost variable is whether plumbing needs to be relocated.

Yes. A tub-to-shower conversion is one of the most popular bathroom upgrades. The existing drain location often works, reducing plumbing costs. Most conversions take 1–3 days. Consider a barrier-free or low-threshold design for aging-in-place accessibility.

A zero-threshold (curbless) shower has no step or barrier at the entry — the floor transitions seamlessly from bathroom to shower. It’s the gold standard for accessibility and aging in place. The floor slopes gently toward the drain to contain water. Requires proper waterproofing and a linear drain.
