"We hired Premier Home Pros to convert a tub into a walk-in shower in our Center City condominium. Most contractors that we contacted would not do this job in a condominium complex. The work took approximately 13 hours and we were very pleased with the result. The team doing the work was led by Peter who was very polite, knowledgeable, and helpful and saw to it that a thorough cleanup was done at the conclusion of the job. We have no hesitation in recommending them."
"The project went smooth, the guys worked hard and consistently to get the job done in a timely manner coordinating with other parts of the job, electric and plumbing. Overall very good work for a very competitive price. I would recommend and use them again."
"It was an amazing transformation! Everyone involved was great to work with including the nicest sub-contractors for electrical and plumbing! I recommend BAS Mechanical for renovations. They put me in touch with the best tile, countertop & cabinet design professionals who made my decisions stress-free. I will definitely hire them for my next renovation project! They are the best!"
"My husband and I are very pleased with our new bathroom shower. ASC did a fantastic job! They arrived during the time frame given and went right to work. Protected our floors from the front door to the bathroom. I felt confident that we were in good hands as they were skilled and knowledgeable about the job. Highly recommend American Supreme Construction!"
"Brian came to our home to do a tub to shower installation. He was very respectful and reviewed what he would be doing. The project was completed within the time frame we were told. Again, he reviewed what he had done and how to properly care for the shower. It really looks great and we are looking forward to using it. Thank you Brian and rite window team.

"I hired Jeff to renovate my guest bathroom. He did an awesome job. Replaced old bathtub with standing shower, installed new floor and wall tiles, installed a new exhaust fan, replaced the toilet, built a custom wall shelf in shower area and near the bathroom vanity. I found it easy to coordinate with him and am impressed with his professional and courteous approach while he worked on this project at my home. He made sure that everyday before leaving, he would clean and mop the floor, and cabinets to remove any dust appeared during the work."
"Lilco was a great company to work with! They are easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions and concerns. They are reliable and trustworthy. My kitchen and bathroom came out better than I could have imagined. I couldn’t be happier and hope to be able to remodel my other bathroom in the near future."
Current trends include frameless glass, smart shower systems, and water-efficient fixtures.
Adding another bathroom isn’t the most complicated project you can undertake, but it’s in the top 5%. Anything involving plumbing and electrical work should be handed off to a pro, and adding a half bath involves both. A contractor may charge $70to$120 an hour for labor, but chances are they can work much faster and more accurately than a DIYer.
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.
Technically, yes, you can put a shower on a Roman tub, but it's not common. The vast majority of Roman tubs are standalone models. Adding a shower would involve installing a ceiling-mounted curtain rod or a custom glass enclosure, as well as redoing the plumbing, making it neither easy nor budget-friendly.
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
