How We Handle a Tub-to-Shower Conversion From Start to Finish

We’ve done enough of these in rural Clark County to know where the surprises hide. Here’s exactly how we sequence the work, and what you’ll need to decide at each point.

Day 1: Demo and discovery. We pull the tub, remove the surround, and expose the walls down to studs. This is where we find what the estimate couldn’t predict: old galvanized plumbing, rotted subfloor from years of splash-over, or caliche hardpan if your drain line needs relocating. In Moapa, we see more manufactured-home conversions than stick-built, and the framing behind those tub walls can be thinner than standard. We photograph everything and call you before proceeding past this point.

Day 1-2: Plumbing rough-in. If we’re keeping the drain in place, this moves fast. If you’re switching to a curbless walk-in or moving the valve height for aging-in-place access, we rework supply and waste lines. Moapa’s caliche soils mean any drain relocation below slab grade can turn into jackhammer work we couldn’t fully price until demo day. We flag this immediately and give you a revised line-item before cutting concrete.

Day 2-3: Substrate and waterproofing. We install cement board or a foam shower system, apply liquid or sheet membrane, and flood-test the pan. This stage determines whether your shower lasts 15 years or fails in three. We use Schluter-Kerdi or equivalent bonded waterproofing on tile jobs, and pressure-test drains overnight. No shortcuts here: the 730-Day Done Right Promise means we eat the cost if this layer fails, so we build it like we’re paying for it.

Day 3-4: Wall finish and fixture set. Tile, acrylic surround, or solid surface panels go up. You’ll have already chosen grout color, niche placement, and fixture finish by this stage. We set temp controls and test pressure. For Moapa’s hard water, we often recommend Grohe cartridges with replaceable lime-scale filters; the mineral content here chews through standard valve internals in half the expected lifespan.

Day 4-5: Glass, trim, and final walk. Frameless or semi-frameless enclosure installs, silicone cures, and we run through our punch list with you present. Most jobs finish in a single visit sequence, but if we’re waiting on custom glass, that adds 7-10 days. We never leave you without a functioning bathroom overnight.

The Options You’ll Actually Choose Between

Every tub-to-shower conversion forces a handful of real decisions. These aren’t upsells; they’re the specs that determine how the shower performs and what you pay.

Shower base type: Acrylic or fiberglass pans run $400-$900 installed and work fine for standard sizes. Custom tile pans with linear drains hit $1,500-$3,500 but let you size the shower exactly and eliminate the threshold trip hazard. For Moapa’s older manufactured homes with subfloor flex, we often spec a reinforced pan to prevent cracking.
Wall surround material: Acrylic three-panel systems ($800-$1,800) install in hours and resist hard-water staining, but they look institutional and limit niche options. Tile ($2,000-$6,000 depending on material and pattern) gives you design control and better resale, though grout demands maintenance. Solid surface like Swanstone or Corian splits the difference at $1,500-$3,000.
Fixture grade: Builder-basic chrome sets start around $150. Mid-grade brushed nickel or matte black from Sterling or Delta run $300-$600 and carry better cartridge warranties. Full Grohe or Hansgrohe thermostatic systems hit $800-$1,500 but hold temperature steady and resist scale buildup, which matters here.
Glass enclosure style: Framed sliding doors ($600-$1,200) are functional and leak-resistant. Semi-frameless ($900-$1,800) cleans up the sightlines. Full frameless ($1,400-$3,000) looks best but needs precise wall plumbness; older Moapa homes with settled framing often can’t support it without shimming that shows.
Accessibility features: Grab bars (order now, install later if you want), bench seating, and handheld wand setups add $200-$800. We rough-in blocking for future grab bars even if you don’t want them yet; it’s $40 in material that saves $400 in tile repair later.
