What Is a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?
This job takes out your old bathtub and puts a walk-in shower in its place.
The new shower is custom made to fit the same space your existing tub uses now. You get a low threshold shower pan, seamless acrylic walls and your choice of seat, grab bars and shelves.
Most people shower far more often than they take a bath. If your tub mostly holds up a shower curtain, a conversion gives that space a better job.
Ask about converting your tubWhy Convert Your Tub to a Shower
A bathtub to shower conversion changes how easy your bathroom is to use every single day.
-
No tall tub wall
Step in over a low threshold instead of lifting a leg over the side of a tub. A barrier-free pan lowers it even more.
-
Room for safety features
Add grab bars and a built-in seat. Grab bars help reduce the risk of slips and falls.
-
Lower maintenance
Grout-free acrylic walls wipe clean. There are no tile lines to scrub or reseal.
-
Microban protection
Microban helps stop stain and odor causing bacteria, mold and mildew for the life of your shower.
-
Fits your tub space
The shower is custom made for the spot your tub sits in, so the rest of the room can usually stay as it is.
-
Easy for years to come
A low step and a seat keep daily showers simple. That makes it a smart choice for aging in place.
Is a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Right for You?
A conversion is a good fit if your tub gets in the way more than it helps. These are common reasons people choose to convert a tub to a shower.
- You have not taken a bath in years
- Stepping over the tub wall feels risky
- You want a seat and grab bars in the shower
- There is a second tub elsewhere in the house
- You plan on aging in place
- You want a bathroom that is easier to clean
Still want to soak now and then? A walk-in tub keeps the bath and drops the tall wall.
Shower to Tub Conversion: The Reverse Job
Some homes need the opposite. A shower to tub conversion puts a bathtub back where a shower stall is now.
Maybe a past owner took out the only tub, and you want one back for young kids or a good soak. Luxury Bath makes custom fitted bathtubs from ABS-backed acrylic, using molds for a wide range of tub shapes and sizes.
The new tub is made to fit your space and set in place without costly demolition. Like every Luxury Bath system, it has Microban protection and can be installed in as little as one day.
A tub needs more floor space than many shower stalls. Your designer measures first and tells you if one will fit.

How a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Works
From the first visit to your first shower, the process is simple.
-
01
Free in-home consultation
Your designer measures the tub space and checks the plumbing and drain. You pick your pan, walls and extras and get a written price.
-
02
Your shower is made to fit
The shower pan and wall panels are built to the size of your tub space. Nothing is guessed on install day.
-
03
The tub comes out
Installers protect your home, take out the old tub and check the floor underneath. The drain is adjusted for the new pan if needed.
-
04
Your new shower goes in
The pan, walls and trim go in, and every seam is sealed. The sealant cures overnight, so most people shower the next day.
What Affects Tub-to-Shower Conversion Cost?
Conversion cost depends on your bathroom and the shower you choose.
We give you a written price after we measure, not a guess from a website. These are the main things that move the number.
- The size of the tub space
- A standard shower pan or a barrier-free pan
- Moving the drain or the shower valve
- The wall pattern and color you pick
- Doors, seats, grab bars and shelves
- Damage found under the old tub
Your designer prices all of it at your free in-home consultation. Ask about financing options at the same visit.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion Questions
Still have one we did not answer? Call (509) 555-0142.
Will a walk-in shower fit where my tub is now?
In most homes, yes. The new shower is custom made to fit the space of your existing tub. Your designer measures first and flags anything that needs to change.
Does a walk-in shower conversion need new plumbing?
Sometimes the drain or shower valve needs to move a little to suit the new pan. Your designer checks this at the consultation, so the price you get already covers it.
Should I keep one bathtub in the house?
That is up to you. Some families with young kids like to keep one tub. If this is your only tub, your designer can also show you a walk-in tub or a new bathtub for the same space.
How long does a bathtub to shower conversion take?
Most take as little as one day. The silicone cures overnight, so you can usually use the shower the next morning. Plumbing moves or hidden damage can add time, and you will know before you commit.
How much does it cost to convert a tub to a shower?
Cost depends on the size of the space, the pan and walls you choose, and any plumbing changes. We measure your bathroom and hand you a written price at the free consultation.
Can you turn a shower back into a tub?
Yes. A shower to tub conversion puts a custom fitted acrylic bathtub in your shower space, as long as there is room for one. Your designer measures to confirm it fits.
Is a shower easier to use than a tub?
For most people, yes. There is no tall tub wall to climb over, and you can add a seat and grab bars. That keeps daily showers simple as the years go by.
