Most Austin tub-to-shower conversions run $7,000–$18,000; a fully custom tile walk-in shower with glass can run higher. Tile choice, glass, niche and bench, and any plumbing moves drive the number.

We remove the old tub, rebuild and waterproof the wall and pan, set your tile, install the glass, and update the valve and fixtures. Done right, the waterproofing behind the tile is what makes it last — that's where we don't cut corners.
Curbless (no-step) walk-in showers are popular for a modern look and easier access; we can build the slope and drain to make it work in most Austin bathrooms.

Most walk-in shower and tub-to-shower conversions take about one to two weeks, depending on tile and glass lead times. We give you a firm schedule up front.
Yes. We build the floor slope and drain so a curbless, no-step walk-in shower works in most Austin bathrooms — a clean modern look that's also easier to step into.
