What if you’d rather leave this work to the professionals? Once you move into the mid-range tub to shower conversions, you’re looking at a price range of about $11,000-$18,000. What you can expect from this kind of budget is:

It’s also important to note that this price range covers all necessary labor for a mid-range tub to shower conversion. You aren’t paying extra for things like tools and waste disposal. Plus, with the right contractor, you get the added protection of warranties.

Finally, we’ve got the high end of the pricing spectrum. For a deluxe tub to shower conversion, expect to pay between $18,000 and $24,000 (or higher, depending on how many customizations or major structural changes your remodel involves). With this budget, you can enjoy:

If you’re upgrading a primary bathroom and looking for a transformation that meets your specific needs and aesthetic desires, this is probably the way to go. While you can get high-quality craftsmanship at either the mid-range or deluxe level, deluxe remodels come with all the accessories and upgrades you need to maximize functionality and beauty. 

When you’re in the early stages of planning a remodel, it’s not uncommon to experience a little bit of sticker shock. After all, there’s a big difference between $3,000 and $25,000. Why wouldn’t you go for the lower-priced option?

A DIY tub-to-shower install kit might be the right choice for you if:

• You have remodeling and/or plumbing experience as well as access to all the necessary tools
• You have no need or desire for any custom upgrades; in your opinion, the simpler, the better
• You’re flipping a property, and you’re not the one who will need to deal with the potential maintenance issues or faster deterioration

Now, how do you know that a DIY install kit isn’t the right choice for you? Those upfront savings aren’t worth it if:

• You’re looking to upgrade your bathroom with a shower solution that actually works for you, complete with storage and safety features
• You don’t have any experience with remodeling or plumbing, and you know that it’s best to leave that work to the professionals
• You want the financial protection of manufacturer and labor warranties
• You want to support your property value with a well-crafted and properly installed shower
