How We Price This
These ranges are computed from Burch Contracting's own pricing formula (base cost per square foot, adjusted for material, complexity, and site conditions, plus a fixed 20% overhead & profit — see services.html for the full comparison). The real-world data source behind the base rates themselves is not yet published. Updated by C. Scott Burch.
How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
Most ADA bath-to-shower conversions take 1 to 2 weeks, from demolition of the existing tub through the finished, accessible shower. Tile surrounds and plumbing relocation add time compared with a fiberglass base and existing plumbing.
What is included in an ADA shower conversion?
The conversion covers demo and removal of the existing tub, plumbing rough-in and relocation, waterproofing and backing (Schluter or equivalent), an ADA roll-in shower base, a tile or fiberglass surround, installed grab bars, a shower valve and trim, and an accessible door or curtain.
Is a curbless roll-in shower safe for aging in place?
Yes. A zero-entry, low-threshold roll-in shower removes the tub wall that causes many bathroom falls, and adds ADA grab bars and non-slip surfaces. It is one of the most effective single modifications for fall prevention and independent living.
