What does a walk-in shower cost?
$3,500 – $9,000 for most tub-to-walk-in-shower conversions — installed in as little as 1–3 days with acrylic systems.
Custom tile work runs $10,000–$15,000+. Acrylic conversion systems are how the big brands do it in 2 days — and they're what most homeowners actually want.

What moves your price
Wet area only vs. whole room
Converting just the tub/shower zone is a fraction of a full remodel. Most quotes you see advertised are wet-area only.
Plumbing moves
Keeping the drain and valve where they are saves $1,000–$3,000. Moving them means opening the floor.
Material system
Acrylic and composite wall systems install in days. Tile is beautiful and slower and needs more maintenance.
Who's it for
Aging-in-place conversions may qualify for VA grants, state programs, or tax considerations — ask the contractor what applies.
