Walk-In Shower cost guide
Most walk-in shower installations and tub-to-shower conversions run between $6,000 and $18,000, with low-threshold and accessibility-focused builds toward the upper part of the range.
Use these figures to plan a budget, not as a contractor quote. Project details and local conditions can change the final price, which is confirmed during an on-site assessment.
What affects walk-in shower cost?
Conversion vs. new build
Converting an existing tub space is usually the most economical path; carving out a new shower footprint costs more.
Wall system
Acrylic wall surrounds install quickly and cost less; full tile showers take more labor and raise the price.
Doors and glass
A basic curtain setup is cheapest; frameless glass enclosures are the premium option.
Accessibility features
Zero-threshold entries, grab bars, built-in benches, and slip-resistant surfaces add cost but make the shower safer for the long run.
