"Converted tub to shower, 1 day installation! Professional from start to finish, it was very smooth working with them. I appreciated how thorough and transparent they were in regards to pricing and timeline of the whole project. Not the cheapest of the contractors I got quotes from but their labor and materials came with warranty and 1 day installation was worth the cost. Plus, their quote was still a bit cheaper than other well known national brands that offer similar service. Highly recommend Renken!"

"I highly recommend Five Star Bath Solutions. They are first class, outstanding company that did wonderful job for me. The quality of their work was excellent, and their price was excellent. I did a major master bathroom upgrade (completely new shower, new soaking tub, new Wayne's coating). I got quotes from several competitors and Five Star Baths had by far the best design solution, the best materials (their Sentrel product had a far better look and feel than their competitor's acrylic), and a surprisingly lower cost. I was the most impressed with the quality of people I worked with from the sales person (Patrick), to the owner (Rob), to the designer/installer (Bo), to the office manager (Brittni). They were all very skilled, very experienced professionals, and wonderful to work with. I had tough schedule, and they went out of their way to accommodate me and get the work done on time. They are a great company with lots of depth. They exceeded my expectations in every area."

"Jeff Thompson was a life saver for us. Our designer introduced us to him when we were searching for help after having another contractor completely ruin our kitchen, living and dining remodel project and losing a lots of money. Jeff came in to inspect the work, gather our requirements and then laid out a plan within our budget to fix the mess left behind by the other contractor and complete the job. He was very patient, understanding and most importantly honest with us about anything we asked regarding the project. His team was top notch working diligently to help complete the project within the timeline Jeff provided especially since the work was starting around November and completed in time to host my family for Christmas in December. I will be eternally grateful for Jeff and his team and the incredible work they did. We are extremely pleased with the results. They are the best!!"

"Alex was great to work with! He was able to complete the project ahead of schedule and his work was really well done. I appreciated him taking the lead on selecting tiles and shower glass that worked with the existing look. He also worked well with the building to coordinate the application process. Highly recommend working with him and his team!"

"Luis and his team did an excellent job. We have a house built in 1966 with plaster walls and cast iron tub and they had a bear of a time on the demo. They made sure everything was covered and did an excellent job of cleaning when the shower stall was completed. Could not be happier with the stand up shower and their install. Highly recommend!!!"

"Robert and his crew did an excellent job! We had a large whirlpool tub in the master bath but no shower. Robert took a look with me, listened to what we wanted and shared his knowledge and ideas. They removed the tub and surround, replaced the space with a large walk-in shower, complete with 2 heads, bench, niches and frameless glass door/panels. All new tile and floor. His price was fair and the communication was great. His crew was kind, hard working and clean! Highly recommend AR Crowell for a bathroom remodel, large or small."

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts

Yes, plumbers can replace showers. In fact, you should hire a licensed plumber rather than a shower installer if your project involves adding fixtures or moving pipes. However, you don’t necessarily need a plumber for simpler projects, like installing a direct-to-studs shower kit. In that case, you can hire a shower installer, handyperson, or DIY it.

Use mortar underneath the shower base. The mortar holds the shower pan in place and creates a level surface when spread properly. If your flooring is not level, you would need to use shims to create a level surface before moving forward with the mortar and base installation.

Note that installing a shower pan on an uneven surface can eventually lead to cracks and leaks.

A shower pan's lifespan can range from 10 to 45 years, depending on the material. As a preventative measure, it's recommended to replace your shower pan every 10 to 15 years to avoid degradation, water leaks, and mold problems. A pan's lifespan can be shortened by incorrect installation, but proper cleaning can help extend it. You should replace your shower pan immediately if you notice clear signs of failure, such as visible cracks, water spilling onto the bathroom floor, moisture stains on adjacent walls or the ceiling below, or any movement, buckling, or warping in the pan when you step on it.

Adding a shower to a half bath transforms it into a three-quarter bath. Compared to converting a half bath into a full bath, this type of conversion is a more affordable way to add functionality and accessibility. This project can add around 5% to 6% to the value of your home, especially if you only have one full bathroom or your only shower is on an upper level. This is a common upgrade for a ground floor when homeowners are hoping to age in place.

The most cost-effective method of building a shower involves using a prefabricated shower kit, which can be found at most home improvement stores. These kits include preformed shower bases, wall panels, and doors, reducing labor and material costs. You’ll most likely need to hire a local shower installer to make sure it’s installed properly, but it will be less expensive than designing and installing a custom shower.
