Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Tampa
That tub you never use is stealing half your bathroom. We remove it and build a walk-in shower you'll actually enjoy — with real tile, frameless glass, and waterproofing done right behind the walls.
Typical Tampa price: $4,000–$10,000 · Timeline: 3–5 days · Fixed written quote
A tub-to-shower conversion in Tampa typically costs $4,000 to $10,000 and takes 3 to 5 days. We remove the old tub, install a walk-in shower with new tile and glass, and waterproof everything behind the walls. You get a fixed written price before we start.
Why homeowners convert
Most Tampa tubs sit unused. Showers are faster, safer, and easier to clean — and a walk-in shower makes a small bathroom feel twice as big. For aging homeowners, stepping over a 15-inch tub wall gets riskier every year. A zero-threshold shower entry removes that risk entirely.
Acrylic panels vs. real tile
One-day franchise companies glue acrylic panels over your old walls. It's fast, but it's thin, it looks it, and we've been called to fix their leaks. We build with cement board, waterproof membrane, and real tile — the shower lasts decades, not years. It costs less than the franchise quote, too.
What's included
- Tub removal and disposal
- New shower pan and drain (moved if needed)
- Cement board + waterproof membrane behind all tile
- New wall tile, floor tile, and grout
- Frameless or semi-frameless glass enclosure
- New showerhead, valve, and fixtures in brushed brass, chrome, or matte black
- Caulking, cleanup, and final walkthrough
Built for Tampa
Tampa's 1960s–90s tract homes are full of fiberglass tub-shower combos that stain, crack, and harbor mold in the humidity. We see them in Carrollwood, Brandon, and Town 'n' Country constantly. A tile shower with epoxy grout and proper ventilation solves the mold cycle instead of repeating it.
Common questions
How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost in Tampa?
Most conversions we do land between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on tile choice, glass, and whether plumbing needs moving. If you've been quoted $13,000 to $17,000 by a national franchise, call us — local craftsmen do the same work for far less, with real tile instead of acrylic panels.
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
Most conversions take 3 to 5 days from demo to done. We waterproof behind the tile — the step that separates a shower that lasts decades from one that leaks in two years — and we never rush it.
Will removing my tub hurt my home's resale value?
Keep at least one bathtub in the house. Families with small children need one, and removing your only tub shrinks your buyer pool. Converting a second bathroom's tub to a shower is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
Can I use my other bathroom during the conversion?
Yes — and if this is your only bathroom, tell us upfront. We'll schedule tightly and keep you updated daily so you're never guessing.
