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.

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 build a shower that won’t leak Cross-section of a tiled shower wall: 1 wall framing, 2 cement backer board, 3 a highlighted waterproof membrane, 4 mortar bed, 5 tile with sealed grout. The membrane is the layer cheaper jobs skip. 12345 water hits the tile your framingstays dry 1 Framing  ·  2 Cement backer board  ·  3 Waterproof membrane  ·  4 Mortar  ·  5 Tile + sealed grout ③ is the waterproofing layer cheaper jobs skip — it’s why ours don’t leak. Built in this order on every conversion — not just where it shows.

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.

What a conversion costs vs a full bathroom remodel A tub-to-shower conversion typically costs $6,000 to $12,000 — far less than a full bathroom renovation at $15,000 to $25,000. Far less than a full remodel $0$10k$20k Tub-to-shower conversionFull bathroom reno $6,000–$12,000$15,000–$25,000 Prefab from $4,500; fully tiled $5,500–$10,500; accessibility ~+$600 · all + HST.

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.
