Tub-to-Shower Conversion Cost in NC

The short answer

BathPeak tub-to-shower conversions commonly fall within a general investment range of $8,991 to $14,991, depending on the wall finish, glass, fixtures and what we find once the tub is out. The final price is set in a written quote after we see the bathroom.

What changes the price

• Wall finish. Tile takes more labor than a prefabricated wall system.
• Glass. A framed door, a frameless door and a fixed panel are priced differently.
• Drain location. Conversions usually keep the drain close to where the tub drain was; moving it adds work — a drain relocation commonly falls within a general $1,000–$3,500 range.
• Floor and wall condition. Water damage under an old tub is repaired before the new shower goes in, and is priced and approved first.
• Extras. Niches, benches, grab bars and handheld showers add useful features and some cost.

BathPeak insight: settle these before the tub comes out

• Is this the only tub in the house? Families with small children, and some buyers, still want one.
• Who will use the shower in ten years? A low threshold and blocking for grab bars cost little during the conversion and a lot more later.
• Do you want the vanity, floor or lighting done at the same time? Doing them in one visit avoids a second round of disruption.
