Cost to remove a bathtub and install a shower
The old tub comes out first.
A steel or cast iron tub is heavier and slower to take out than a fiberglass one.
If there is water damage behind the walls, it has to be fixed before the new walls go up.
Ask at your free design visit: What your old tub is made of, and signs of water damage.
$400 to $1,200Sample
Shower pan cost
The shower pan is the base you stand on.
Pans come in set sizes. If your space is an odd size, a pan can be made to fit. That costs more and can take longer.
Ask at your free design visit: The exact size of your space.
$600 to $1,800Sample
Glass shower door cost
A curtain rod costs the least. Sliding glass and swing doors cost more, and the frame finish and glass change it too.
A doorless walk-in shower skips the door, but it needs enough room to keep the water in.
Ask at your free design visit: How wide the opening is and which way a door can swing.
$500 to $1,600Sample
Adding a shower seat
A fold-down seat folds up out of the way. A built-in seat stays put.
A seat needs solid backing in the wall to hold weight.
Ask at your free design visit: Where the seat fits, and the best height for the person using it.
$150 to $600Sample
Adding a shower niche
A niche is a shelf set into the wall, so bottles don't sit on the floor.
It has to fit between the studs in the wall.
Ask at your free design visit: Which wall it fits best in.
$150 to $500Sample
Grab bar installation cost
Each bar adds a little.
Grab bars must be fastened into solid backing, not just the wall panel, to hold weight.
Ask at your free design visit: Where hands need a bar, and what is behind the wall.
$100 to $400Sample
Shower wall colors and designs
Solid colors usually cost the least.
Stone looks, patterns and textured designs cost more.
