"We called Bath Fitters of Utah after getting quotes from several other places. The price was 40% less than the others, and the materials are excellent. John and Brayden showed up on time notwithstanding a big snow fall, then worked steady all day to remove our old tub, install the new tub and shower, clean up and leave everything perfect. They were great to work with, and we will absolutely recommend them to friends and family. John and Nancy, Millcreek"
"We had a very pleasant experience with Founders contracting during our bathroom remodel. The tub shower conversion to walk in tiled shower was the main goal. We are happy with the whole remodel. The owner has great communication, is prompt and professional. He had great suggestions and accommodated a couple of extra requests. Highly recommend."
"Chad and Scott did a fantastic job, from concept to completion of our project. We needed an interior wall, framing, door, drywall, texture, & painting, & all the details to enclose our kitchen from our entry. They understood our concept, and had the work done from start to finish in 2 weeks. Meticulous, detail-oriented, polite, & fun to have them here in our home are how we would describe our relationship with Chad & Scott. They even let us keep adding other small projects along with the wall construction, always being cheerful & accommodating. We would definitely recommend them to our friends & neighbors for any projects!

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
The cost of making a bathroom accessible can be $3,000 to $25,000, but you could spend as much as $50,000 building a brand-new ADA-compliant bathroom. Some bathroom accessibility upgrades to consider include:
Installing grab bars: $100–$500
Lowering cabinets and vanities: $1,200–$2,500
Installing modified doors: $700–$1,500
Installing a modified toilet: $400–$1,000
Installing an accessible sink and faucet: $100–$1,000
Adding a walk-in tub: $1,100–$17,000
Converting a bathtub into a walk-in tub: $350–$1,000
Installing a wheelchair-accessible shower: $2,000–$7,500
Installing a shower ramp: $16–$300
Most modern showers have a prefabricated base made from fiberglass or plastic, such as acrylic or polyurethane. Nonetheless, concrete mortar is still the traditional, go-to base for a custom walk-in shower.
You’ll need to add a waterproofing liner or membrane between the layers of mortar to keep moisture out. From there, you can top it with whatever type of tile you like to create a spa-like custom look. Be sure to include these considerations in your budget for the cost of a walk-in shower.
The average cost to convert a tub to a shower is around $3,000, but prices can range from $1,000 to as high as $15,000. A more typical range is between $1,200 and $8,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the amount of plumbing work required, the size of the shower, and the type of materials and fixtures chosen. A prefabricated shower stall is a more budget-friendly option, while a custom shower with features like luxury tiles, unique tiling, smart technology, or accessibility features will be at the higher end of the cost spectrum.
Doorless showers feature strategically placed showerheads, drains, and sloped floors to contain water. The sloped floor allows water to seamlessly flow toward the drain and prevents pooling. Proper design and waterproofing ensure that water is directed into the drain, minimizing the risk of it spreading out into the rest of the bathroom.
How long shower valves last depends on the type you have, how much use it gets, the hardness of your water, and whether the valve was installed correctly. Good-quality brass shower valves are sturdy and last around 20 years, while lower-quality plastic valves last 4 to 5 years. Since shower valves wear out over time, you can proactively replace yours after 15 years or whenever you update your showerhead.
