Shower to Tub Conversion

Miss having a bathtub? We pull the old shower and build in a relaxing soaking tub — alcove, freestanding, or a tub-and-shower combo — with one fixed price before we start. A shower conversion like this usually takes a few days and leaves the bathroom fully waterproofed.

Is It Time?

Is a Shower-to-Tub Conversion Right for You?

Plenty of homeowners want a tub back. If any of these sound like you, it's worth a conversation. A shower to tub swap is one of the most common calls we take.

You have young kids (or a baby on the way)

Bathing little ones in a stand-up shower is a struggle. A tub makes bath time easier, safer, and a lot less wet for you. A proper alcove tub with a low wall makes bath time far easier in any bathroom.

You're thinking about resale

Buyers expect at least one bathtub in a home, and a house with none can be a harder sell. Adding one back protects your value. Most buyers still expect a bathtub somewhere in the home, not just another shower.

You miss a long soak

Sometimes you just want to unwind in a hot bath. If every bathroom is a stand-up shower, a soaking tub brings that option back. A deep soaking tub changes how the whole bathroom feels at the end of the day. A shower cannot do that.

A shower nobody uses

A guest or hall bath with a dated, rarely-used shower is often more useful — and more valuable — as a tub. Converting a tired shower back to a bath is often the better use of that room.

Built Around You

What Your New Tub Setup Can Include

Whatever fits your room and how you bathe — alcove, freestanding, or a tub paired with a shower — here's what we build. We walk you through the products and the design for your bathroom before anything is ordered.

Alcove soaking tub with a tiled surround

Alcove & Soaking Tubs

The classic three-wall recessed tub: deep enough for a real soak, easy to step into, and the most budget-friendly way to add a bath back — on its own or as a tub-and-shower combo, finished like any shower remodel. An alcove tub shower combination suits most family bathrooms.

Freestanding soaking tub installation

Freestanding Tubs

A standalone soaker as the centerpiece of the room. We handle the floor support, plumbing, and finish to set one properly. A freestanding tub needs more floor space and a bit more design work than a shower did.

Tile surround around a new bathtub

Tile or Acrylic Surrounds

Around the tub we install custom tile and marble or low-maintenance acrylic, fully waterproofed, with niches and the fixtures you choose. Tub showers built this way stay easy to clean for years, and the design holds up.

Our Process

How a Verano Shower-to-Tub Conversion Works

Four steps, no surprises — you know the price and the plan before we touch your bathroom. One design, one schedule, one crew, starting at the consultation.

Shower-to-tub conversion in progress by Verano
Step 1

Free In-Home Design Consult

We measure the space, talk through tub styles, bring samples, and leave you with one fixed, written price.
Step 2

Remove the Shower & Inspect

We pull the old shower and pan and check the framing, drain, and subfloor — repairing anything we find before the tub goes in.
Step 3

Plumb & Set the Tub

We re-plumb the drain and overflow for a tub, set and level it on a solid base, and waterproof the surround.
Step 4

Final Walkthrough

We clean up, walk the finished bath with you, and hand over the manufacturer warranty on the products we installed.

Why Choose Verano

Why Homeowners Choose Verano for Their Conversion

Finished bathroom remodel with a new bathtub by Verano

Putting a tub where a shower used to be means re-working the drain, the floor support, and the waterproofing — the parts you don't see are what keep it solid and leak-free. Verano gets those right. Re-plumbing for a tub is the part that decides whether the conversion lasts. The old shower pipework rarely lines up.

We install everything from a simple alcove tub to a freestanding soaker, in custom tile or low-maintenance acrylic, and tell you honestly which fits your budget. Pricing is upfront with no surprises, backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty, and we're family-owned, licensed and insured — the same standard behind a full bathroom remodel. We can also handle a bath remodel around it if the room needs more than the tub.

Questions, Answered

Shower-to-Tub Conversion FAQ

National figures generally put it between about $3,000 and $12,000, with a standard alcove tub on the low end and a freestanding soaker or custom-tile surround higher. You get one fixed, written price at the consult. The installation cost depends mostly on whether the plumbing moves and how big the shower was.

Usually, yes — most showers have room for a standard ~60-inch alcove tub, and we re-plumb the drain for a tub. We confirm the fit at the consult, and if the layout or plumbing needs to move (or a permit's required), we tell you upfront. A standard alcove tub fits most showers without moving the drains.

Two big reasons: resale (a home with no bathtub is harder to sell) and everyday life — bathing kids, or just having the option to soak. If it's your only shower, we'll talk through keeping one. A home with one bathtub and one walk-in shower covers both needs.

It's one of the most common reasons people call us. A tub makes bathing babies and toddlers far easier and safer than a stand-up shower. A tub also makes it safe to bathe a toddler without kneeling. A shower makes that job harder.

Yes — a tub-and-shower combo gives you both in one footprint, which is often the smartest move for a family bathroom or a home's only full bath. That combo is the usual answer in a single bathroom home, and it keeps the shower you already use.

Those are a different product for accessibility — if that's what you need, see our walk-in tub and barrier-free options. This page covers standard soaking, alcove, and freestanding tubs. And if you want the opposite — losing a tub for a shower — that's our tub-to-shower conversion. We can also convert your existing bathtub the other way if you change your mind later.
