Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Barrie & Innisfil
Turn that unused tub into a sleek, easy-access walk-in shower — custom-tiled, properly waterproofed, and often a smart accessibility upgrade too.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Reclaim the bathroom you actually use
Most of us stopped using the tub years ago. A tub-to-shower conversion swaps that cramped tub-shower for a roomy walk-in — a custom-tiled or low-maintenance prefab shower, often curbless, that’s easier to use and looks far better.
This is a focused bathroom upgrade. For a full remodel see our full bathroom renovation page; for a slow drain or a leaky faucet, a plumber’s your fix.

Before & after
How we build it right
The waterproofing you’ll never see — but never want skipped
A tub-to-shower swap is shower work — and a shower lives or dies on what’s behind the tile. Here’s the build-up we use on every conversion, in this order, every time.
How we price it
Priced by the project — never by the hour
A conversion is priced by the project — mainly whether you go prefab or fully tiled, plus any accessibility add-ons. It’s far less than a full bathroom remodel, and the estimator shows you the difference.
In the Barrie & Innisfil area, most tub-to-shower conversions land between $6,000 and $12,000, plus HST. A low-maintenance prefab shower sits at the lower end (from about $4,500), while a fully custom shower tiling and waterproofing build runs higher (roughly $5,500–$10,500), plus any accessibility add-ons like grab bars or a bench. Either way, it’s far less than a full bathroom renovation.

Questions, answered
The things homeowners ask us first
How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost?
Far less than a full bathroom remodel — the main driver is prefab vs fully tiled, plus any accessibility features. The estimator gives you a tailored ballpark.
Is it good for accessibility or aging in place?
Very — a curbless walk-in shower with a bench and grab bars is much safer and easier than stepping over a tub wall. It’s one of our most-requested aging-in-place upgrades.
How long does it take?
A typical tub-to-shower conversion takes about one to two weeks, depending on prefab vs tiled and the finishes.
