Tub-to-Shower Conversion Cost & Options
Replacing an unused tub with a walk-in shower — cost, options and what to expect.
A tub-to-shower conversion replaces a little-used bathtub with a walk-in shower, and in Dallas–Fort Worth it typically costs $5,000–$15,000 depending on the shower size, tile, glass and whether plumbing is moved. It's one of the most popular bathroom updates — adding everyday usability, a modern look and better accessibility.
Your conversion options
- Tiled walk-in shower — custom tile with a glass panel or door (most popular)
- Curbless / zero-entry — barrier-free for accessibility and a sleek look
- Frameless glass enclosure — open, modern feel that shows off the tile
- Built-in niches & bench — storage and seating
- Accessibility add-ons — grab bars, hand shower, comfort-height fixtures
What affects the price
Cost rises with shower size, custom vs. standard tile, frameless vs. framed glass, and whether the drain and plumbing have to move to convert the tub footprint. Proper waterproofing — done behind the tile — is essential and built into every conversion we do. Most conversions are completed in about one to two weeks.
Is a conversion right for you?
If you never use the tub, want easier access, or are updating a dated hall or primary bath, a conversion is usually the highest-value bathroom change you can make. (If your home has only one tub, keep resale in mind — many buyers want at least one.) See full pricing in our bathroom remodel cost guide, or our bathroom remodeling service.
