Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Portland & Vancouver

If you're stepping over a tub you never use, it's time. A tub-to-shower conversion is one of the highest-value bathroom upgrades you can make — it opens up the room, improves safety, and makes daily routines easier for everyone in the house.

Quick answer

A tub-to-shower conversion in the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA area typically costs $11,500–$22,000 and takes 3–7 working days. We remove the tub, update the drain and valve, waterproof the walls, and install a low-threshold or curbless shower with tile or solid-surface walls and glass.

FAQ

Tub-to-Shower Conversions: common questions

Will removing my only bathtub hurt resale value?

Generally no, as long as the home still has at least one tub. Many buyers — especially older buyers — prefer a walk-in shower in the primary bathroom. If it's the home's only tub, we'll talk through the trade-offs honestly before you decide.

How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?

Most conversions take 3–7 working days depending on whether you choose solid-surface panels or custom tile, and whether the drain needs to move.

Can you make the shower curbless?

Often, yes. Curbless (zero-threshold) showers sometimes require recessing the subfloor; we'll check your framing during the free consultation and tell you exactly what's possible.

Do you give free estimates?

Yes. We offer free in-home or video design consultations, plus a free remote photo estimate if you'd like a ballpark price without a visit.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer bathroom remodel financing through third-party lenders, subject to credit approval. Ask about payment plans when you request your estimate.
