Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Celina & North DFW

How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost?

Most tub-to-shower conversions in North DFW fall between $3,000 and $12,000. What moves the price:

• Prefab vs. custom tile: an acrylic or prefab surround is the budget end; a fully waterproofed custom tile shower is the higher end and the one that lasts.
• Drain relocation: a tub drain and a shower drain aren't always in the same spot. Keeping it where it is saves money; moving it adds plumbing.
• Size: converting a standard alcove tub is straightforward; opening up a larger footprint or going curbless costs more.
• Glass and finishes: a fixed panel is modest; frameless glass and stone add up.

Every project is quoted after we see it, and the estimate is free.

What's involved in converting a tub to a shower?

A conversion is more than pulling the tub and dropping in a pan. A proper job covers:

• Removing the old tub and surround and hauling it out
• Checking the subfloor and framing where the tub sat — tubs hide water damage
• Building and waterproofing a new sloped shower pan
• Waterproofing the walls, then tiling to your layout
• Setting the new drain, valve, fixtures, and glass

The tub is the cheap part to remove. What you're paying for is the waterproofing and tile that go in after it's gone.

Can you convert a tub without moving the plumbing?

Often, yes — and it keeps the cost down. If the existing drain and valve line up with where the shower needs them, we reuse them. If they don't, moving them is plumbing work we'll price honestly. We'll tell you at the estimate whether your tub converts cleanly or whether the drain has to move, so there are no surprises once the wall's open.

How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?

Most conversions take about one to two weeks, depending on whether it's a simple swap or a full custom tile build and whether the drain moves. Waterproofing and tile need proper cure and set time, and we don't rush those — a converted shower that leaks defeats the whole point. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the estimate.
