Why Salt Lake City Homeowners Convert a Tub to a Shower
Bath Crest Home Solutions is a licensed, family-owned bathroom remodeling company that has converted bathtubs into showers for Salt Lake City homeowners since 1979. Most conversions happen for one of three reasons: the tub sits unused and wastes floor space, a family member needs a step-in shower for safety, or the household is preparing the bathroom to sell. A walk-in shower typically uses the same footprint as the old tub, so plumbing stays close to its original location and the project stays contained.
Homeowners often wait too long because they assume the job means tearing out the whole bathroom. A tub-to-shower conversion is a focused project: the surround, drain, and door change, while the surrounding walls, vanity, and flooring can often stay untouched. This keeps cost and disruption lower than a full remodel while still solving the daily problem of an unused, hard-to-use tub.

How We Complete a Tub to Shower Conversion
Every conversion follows the same careful sequence to keep the bathroom watertight and built to last.
- Free in-home assessment. We measure the existing tub alcove, check the plumbing rough-in, and confirm what shower configuration fits the space, so the quote reflects the real bathroom, not a guess.
- Removal and prep. We remove the old tub and surround and inspect the wall and subfloor underneath; catching hidden moisture damage here prevents a shower that leaks or fails early.
- Waterproofing and installation. We install a fully waterproofed pan and surround with sealed seams and a licensed plumber handling the drain and valve work, since a shower is only as good as what's behind it.
- Final walkthrough. We test water flow, drainage, and door or panel fit with you before we call the job finished, so nothing gets signed off until it actually works the way you expect.
Tub to Shower Conversion Questions from Salt Lake City Homeowners
How Much Does a Tub to Shower Conversion Cost in Salt Lake City?
Costs vary based on the shower size, tile choice, and any plumbing changes needed. Most Salt Lake City tub-to-shower conversions from Bath Crest Home Solutions range from a few thousand dollars for a standard conversion to more for custom tile or glass. We provide an exact quote after a free in-home assessment.
How Long Does It Take To Convert a Bathtub to a Shower?
Most tub-to-shower conversions take between three and seven business days once materials arrive, depending on tile complexity and whether any plumbing needs to move. We confirm a firm timeline during your free consultation, before any work begins on your Salt Lake City home.
Will Removing My Bathtub Hurt My Home’s Resale Value?Will Removing My Bathtub Hurt My Home’s Resale Value?
In many Salt Lake City neighborhoods, a walk-in shower is now preferred over a second tub, especially in a primary bathroom. As long as one bathtub remains elsewhere in the home, converting a secondary tub to a shower typically does not hurt resale value and can improve everyday usability.
Can You Make the New Shower Bigger Than My Old Bathtub?
Sometimes. If there is adjacent space or an unused closet nearby, we can often expand the footprint during the conversion. During your free assessment, we check the surrounding walls and plumbing to tell you honestly whether an expanded shower is possible in your bathroom.
