Are you dreaming of updating your bathroom? Good news! Bathroom remodels tend to yield the biggest returns when it comes to your home’s resale value. Regardless of what you decide to do to your bathroom, making updates in one of the most-used rooms in your house is a great way to give your home an overall boost. Before you schedule your renovation project, it’s important to think not just about how it affects your home value, however. You also want to focus on functionality. If you don’t use your bathtub very often, now is a great time to schedule a tub-to-shower conversion so you can make the most of your space. But what is the average cost of a tub-to-shower conversion project? The truthful answer is that it can vary from anywhere between $1,200 and upwards of $10,000. There’s such a wide range because there are several different factors that can impact the final cost of your project.
Let’s take a closer look at what determines the cost of turning your tub into a shower so you can properly budget for your renovation project.
The Materials You Choose
First things first, the materials you choose for your new shower will impact the cost. Many shower materials, like tile, are priced per square foot, so the more expensive the material you choose, the more the total cost of your project will be. And, of course, the bigger your shower, the more those materials will add up as well.
Fortunately, our team at Express Bath is here to make it easy to get the bathroom of your dreams for the right price. We’re proud to offer a wide variety of different colors and styles and we’ll work with you to come up with a design that fits within your budget.
The Placement of Your New Shower
Another factor that can impact the cost of your tub-to-shower conversion is where you plan to put your new shower. Do you want to rework the layout of your bathroom completely? Or do you simply want your new shower to sit in the same place as your old tub?
Moving your shower to a different place in the bathroom will likely require plumbing updates which can add extra costs to your project. Essentially, the less complicated your project, the less expensive it will be.
The Features You Include in Your Shower
One of the most appealing things about replacing your bathtub with a new shower is that it gives you the opportunity to customize your bathing space. When you choose the Express Bath team for your project, you can choose from unique and functional customizations like built-in shelving and caddies.
We also offer safety features like grab bars, built-in seating, and custom threshold heights, so you can have peace of mind that you’ll stay safe while bathing. This is especially important if you plan to age-in-place in your home and want to remain independent.
While the customization options for your shower are virtually limitless, some of them cost more, adding to the total cost of your project. Of course, many of the homeowners we work with agree that these customizations are well worth the extra cost to get the shower of their dreams!
When You Schedule Your Project
Do you need to schedule your project quickly? If so, you might have to pay a higher amount to get your project on the books as soon as possible than you would if you had a more flexible schedule.
However, here at Express Bath, we always look out for our customers’ best interests and will do everything in our power to make sure you get the best possible deal on your project, no matter when you schedule it. Rest assured, we’ll always have your back.
The Contractor You Hire
Finally, the company you hire will play a part in how much you pay for your tub-to-shower conversion project. The unfortunate reality is that some contracting companies overcharge unsuspecting homeowners simply because they know they can.
We recommend shopping around a bit before making your final decision. Once you do, we hope you’ll agree that Express Bath is the right choice for your project! Our team is committed to full transparency every step of the way.
From the first time we meet with you, we’ll be upfront about what to expect in terms of pricing and timeline, so you are never met with a surprise bill at the end of your project.
