Tub-to-shower conversion cost in Dallas–Fort Worth

Every bathroom is different, so we price yours after we see it. The visit is free, and you get one written price that doesn’t expire. Here’s what goes into that number.

What’s included in every conversion

The old tub removed and hauled away.
Porcelain tile walls over a waterproofed wall. Real tile, not plastic panels.
A low step-in shower floor that is flat, textured and slip-resistant.
A glass door instead of a curtain.
A grab bar where you want it, anchored into the wall framing.
A licensed, insured crew and a 5-year workmanship warranty.

Standard installs are done in 24 hours. Water damage, plumbing changes or added upgrades can extend that, and we tell you before we start.

Walk-in shower with a frameless glass door and marble-look porcelain tile, a Manta project in Dallas–Fort Worth — A Manta tub-to-shower conversion: tile walls and a glass door.

What can change the price

Most of the price is set by what we find when we look at your bathroom. These are the things that move it:

What’s behind the tub. Old leaks can leave soft framing or water damage. We show you what we find and put the repair in writing before we fix it.
Plumbing changes. Keeping the drain and valve where they are costs less than moving them.
The tile you choose. Larger tiles, patterns and accent walls take more material and time.
The glass. The door style and size you pick changes the glass cost.
Extras you add, such as more grab bars.

We don’t quote over the phone. What’s under your tub is the biggest unknown, so we come look first and give you one written price.

Why online price ranges are so wide

If you look up prices online, you’ll find a very wide range. That’s because those numbers mix very different jobs:

A plastic insert or kit set over the old space costs less, but you get panels, not tile.
A tiled walk-in shower needs waterproofing, tile work and glass, so it costs more.
Labor only or all-in. Some numbers leave out removal, haul-away, plumbing or the glass.

When you compare prices, ask what is included: tile or panels, glass or curtain, removal, plumbing and warranty.

What a conversion doesn’t include

A conversion changes only the tub area. Your vanity, toilet and floor outside the shower stay as they are. Moving walls or changing the layout is a full bathroom remodel, which Manta Construction can also do.

Common questions about cost

Does it cost less than a full bathroom remodel?

It's a smaller project, because only the tub area changes and the rest of the bathroom stays. A full remodel also replaces the vanity, floor and fixtures, and usually takes weeks.

Does the price include removing the tub?

Yes. We take the old tub out and haul it away. It's part of every conversion.

What if you find water damage behind the tub?

We stop and show you what we found. You get the repair price in writing before we do any of it. It can add time to the install.

Can you give me a price over the phone?

No. What's under your tub is the biggest unknown, so we come look first. The visit and the written estimate are free.

Is financing available?

Yes, through our partnered banks, subject to approval. We go over your options at the visit.

Will removing the tub hurt my home's resale value?

Most homes keep a tub in another bathroom, and many buyers look for a walk-in shower in the main bathroom. We can't promise an appraisal result, so if resale is a big concern, ask a local real estate agent.
