What a tub-to-shower conversion in Newton includes

Framing and subfloor check

Any rot at the old tub apron repaired, studs corrected, and blocking added for bars and glass.

Drain conversion

The 1.5-inch tub drain converted to a 2-inch shower drain, correctly trapped and vented to code.

Shower pan

A sloped, bonded pan built to the alcove — no pre-formed base fighting an out-of-square wall unless you prefer one.

Waterproof membrane

Full bonded waterproofing over pan and walls, corners detailed by hand, flood tested before tile.

Tile or panel walls

Porcelain tile or low-maintenance solid-surface panels, set plumb with sealed grout and proper movement joints.

Valve and fixtures

New pressure-balancing valve, showerhead and handheld, plus a recessed niche and optional bench.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion pricing in Newton

$8,991 – $14,991

Older Catawba County homes occasionally need drain or subfloor correction. We check for it during the estimate so it is in the written price up front.

Financing is available through Momnt Financing. Ask our team about current options during your consultation.

What moves the price

  • Drain resizing and re-venting in older homes
  • Subfloor repair at the old tub apron
  • Bench, niches and grab-bar blocking
  • Widening the alcove beyond the 60-inch standard
  • Valve upgrade to thermostatic with a handheld

How your Newton project runs

Timelines depend on scope and site conditions; you get a project-specific schedule before work begins. Custom glass can affect the overall schedule because final measurements and fabrication may occur after the shower area is installed.

  1. Step 1

    In-home consultation

    We measure the alcove, check drain size and framing, price the conversion in writing and review tile options.

  2. Step 2

    Order and schedule

    Approval releases materials; your install date is locked, typically 10 to 21 days out.

  3. Step 3

    Tub out

    Demo, framing and subfloor repair, drain conversion, pan built.

  4. Step 4

    Waterproof and tile

    Membrane, flood test, then wall and floor tile.

  5. Step 5

    Trim out

    Grout, valve trim, niche and bar install, glass template, full cleanup.

  6. Step 6

    Walkthrough

    We run the shower with you, check drainage and slope, and hand over the written warranty.
