Answers to the most common questions Toronto and GTA homeowners ask before converting a bathtub to a walk-in shower.
Bathtub to shower conversion costs in Toronto and the GTA typically range from $8,000 to $18,000+ depending on scope and material choices. We provide fixed pricing with no hidden fees—your quote is your final price.
Key cost factors include:
During your free in-home consultation, we measure the space, discuss your design preferences, and provide a detailed quote tailored to your project.
Most bathtub to shower conversions in Etobicoke and Toronto take 5–7 working days from demolition to completion. Custom tile work with proper Schluter Kerdi waterproofing requires adequate cure time to ensure long-term durability. Acrylic wall panel systems can be completed faster in 3–4 days.
Your project is managed by a dedicated crew from start to finish—no rotating tradespeople and no delays waiting on subcontractors.
In most cases, a well-executed bathtub to shower conversion increases resale value—especially in condos and homes with multiple bathrooms. Modern walk-in showers with frameless glass and quality tile are highly desirable to today's buyers.
Only have one bathroom? It depends on your situation. For homeowners planning to age in place, safety and daily comfort often matter far more than future resale—a walk-in shower can be life-changing for mobility and independence. For homeowners who may sell in the near term, we can discuss options like a shower-tub combo that offer both accessibility and broad buyer appeal.
We help you weigh the pros and cons during your free consultation so you make the right choice for your home and lifestyle.
Schluter Kerdi is a bonded waterproofing membrane system installed directly behind your shower tiles. Unlike traditional methods that rely on a vapour barrier behind cement board, Schluter Kerdi creates a completely waterproof envelope that prevents moisture from reaching the wall structure.
This eliminates the risk of mould growth, wood rot, and structural damage behind your shower walls—problems that often go undetected for years with older waterproofing methods.
We use Schluter Kerdi on every tiled shower and tub surround we install. It is the gold standard in shower waterproofing used by professionals across North America. Ask us about it during your free consultation.
Yes. If your new shower is installed in the same footprint as the existing bathtub—which is the most common approach—the drain and water supply lines typically stay in the same location. This keeps costs lower and the timeline shorter.
Most standard alcove bathtubs leave a space roughly 30–42 inches deep and 5 feet wide, which is an ideal footprint for a walk-in shower. During your free consultation, we assess the existing plumbing and advise on the most cost-effective approach.
A curbed shower has a raised threshold (typically 3–4 inches) at the entrance that contains water inside the shower area. It is the most common and cost-effective option.
A curbless (barrier-free) shower has a zero-threshold entry flush with the bathroom floor, allowing wheelchair access and easier entry for anyone with mobility concerns. Curbless showers require precise floor grading to direct water toward the drain and are more complex to install.
Important for condo owners: curbless showers are generally not possible in condos because the concrete subfloor cannot be modified to create the required drainage slope. A low-profile curb is typically the best option for condo bathrooms.
We specialize in both options using Schluter Kerdi systems and can advise which approach works best for your bathroom layout and accessibility needs.
We take job site cleanliness seriously:
Your project is managed by a dedicated crew who take pride in leaving your home clean at the end of every work day.
