Tub-to-shower conversion · Greater Sacramento

Tub-to-shower conversion in Sacramento.

We take out the tub and build a shower in its place, with tile or panel walls. We handle the plumbing change, the waterproofing and the City permit. We design it in 3D for free, for any room, even if you only want the design.

Two ways to build it

Tile shower, or panel shower.

We build both. The choice changes the price, the time and the look.

01

Tile shower

Tile over a waterproofing system that we flood-test before the tile goes on. You choose the tile, a niche, a bench and the glass. See our walk-in shower planning guide.

  • Waterproofing flood-tested before tile
  • A niche, a bench and blocking for grab bars
  • Glass door or panel sized to the opening
02

Panel shower

Solid wall panels instead of tile: fewer joints to clean and usually a shorter job. Angi's national market range for a tub-to-shower conversion is $1,200–$3,600. Your price comes from a written, itemized estimate.

  • Fewer grout lines to clean
  • The same plumbing change and permit
  • A curbless entry if you need one

How a conversion works

From tub to shower, step by step.

Measure and design

We measure the tub alcove and design the shower in 3D for free, so you see tile or panels before you decide.

Written estimate and permit

You get a line-item written estimate, and we apply for the City permit. The down payment is never more than $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less, as California law requires.

Remove the tub, change the plumbing

We take out the tub, move the drain for the shower and install a pressure-balanced or thermostatic valve, as the City requires.

Waterproof, test, finish

We waterproof the shower and flood-test it before tile or panels go on. Then the glass, fixtures and a walkthrough with you.

Our Roseville project

A tub became a shower in this Roseville remodel.

Part of a whole-home interior remodel completed in July 2026, in about six weeks: the kitchen, two bathrooms, closets and floors. The whole interior remodel was a $99,302 signed contract (2026).

A shower that replaces a tub may be 30 by 60 inches. Other new showers need 1,024 square inches and room for a 30-inch circle.
Walls
A smooth, nonabsorbent surface at least 6 feet above the floor; greenboard is not allowed behind it.
Valve
Pressure-balanced or thermostatic when the surround comes off or the valve is replaced.
Fan
An exhaust fan on a humidity control.
Permit
Fixture and finish work can use a Minor Bathroom Remodel Permit; new or moved openings in the bathroom walls need full plan review.
