Walk-In Shower Conversion FAQs
How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, tub to walk-in shower conversion typically costs $10,000 to $25,000 depending on the scope. Basic prefab conversions start around $8,000-$12,000, while custom tiled walk-in showers with premium features range from $15,000-$25,000+. Factors affecting cost include shower size, tile selection, fixtures, glass enclosure type, and any plumbing modifications needed.
How long does a walk-in shower conversion take?
A typical walk-in shower conversion in New Jersey takes 1-2 weeks. Simple prefab installations may be completed in 3-5 days, while custom tiled walk-in showers with waterproofing, custom tile work, and frameless glass typically take 7-14 days. We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.
Do I need a permit for a tub to shower conversion in NJ?
Yes, most tub to shower conversions in New Jersey require permits, especially if plumbing is being modified. As a licensed NJ contractor (#13VH04175700), we handle all permits and inspections for you, ensuring your project meets local building codes in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
Will removing my only bathtub hurt my home's resale value?
If you have multiple bathrooms, converting one tub to a walk-in shower typically adds value by modernizing the space. However, we recommend keeping at least one bathtub in homes with multiple baths, especially in family-oriented neighborhoods. Walk-in showers are highly desirable for master bathrooms and can increase your home's appeal to many buyers.
What is a curbless shower and should I get one?
A curbless (or zero-threshold) shower has no step or lip to step over - it's completely level with the bathroom floor. Benefits include easier accessibility (great for aging in place), a sleek modern look, and easier cleaning. Curbless showers require careful waterproofing and floor sloping for proper drainage, adding $2,000-$5,000 to the project cost, but many homeowners find the investment worthwhile.
Can you convert a tub/shower combo to just a walk-in shower?
Absolutely! Converting a tub/shower combo to a dedicated walk-in shower is one of our most common projects. The existing plumbing location makes it straightforward, and you'll gain a more spacious, modern shower area. We can often complete these conversions in 5-7 days.
