Stepping over a tub wall gets harder every year, and many homes have a bathtub nobody uses. BPR Remodeling (Utah Contractor License #13276859-5501) converts tubs into walk-in showers across the Wasatch Front, from quick shower-system swaps to full custom tile showers.
Two Ways to Convert
- Shower system (acrylic or solid surface): a base and wall panels that install quickly, have no grout lines to clean and cost less. Usually done in three to five days.
- Custom tile shower: a waterproofed tile shower with your choice of tile, niches, a bench and glass. It takes longer and costs more, but it is fully custom.
Safer for Every Age
- Low-threshold or curbless entry where the floor allows
- Grab bars installed into solid backing
- Built-in or fold-down seat
- Handheld shower head and slip-resistant floor
Tub-to-Shower Cost
Most conversions run about $7,000 to $15,000. Our published material price for a shower base and wall system is $1,200–$2,200 at builder price versus $2,200–$4,000 typical retail, and Model Home Program homeowners pay builder price on materials.
What’s Included
- Tub removal and disposal
- Plumbing changes for the new drain and valve
- Waterproofing, then the shower system or tile
- Glass door or curtain rod, fixtures and trim
- Wall and floor repairs around the new shower
Builder Price for Utah Homeowners
Through December 31, 2026, a limited number of homeowners can remodel at builder price with no markup on materials, typically 40–60% below Utah retail on the material portion. In return we photograph your project, put a small BPR yard sign out, and may show the finished work to a few future clients at times you approve. Reviews are never required.
Walk-In Shower FAQ
How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost in Salt Lake City?
Most tub-to-shower conversions run about $7,000 to $15,000. An acrylic or solid-surface shower system is at the lower end; a custom tile shower with glass and niches is at the higher end.
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
A shower-system conversion usually takes three to five working days. A custom tile shower takes one to three weeks, including drying and curing time.
Will removing my only tub hurt resale value?
Many buyers want at least one tub in the home, especially families with young children. If your home has another tub, converting the primary bath to a walk-in shower is usually a safe choice.
Can you make the shower accessible for aging in place?
Yes. We install low-threshold or curbless entries where the floor allows, grab bars with proper backing, a built-in or fold-down seat and a handheld shower head.
