Difficult to say as there are too many variables and unknowns here. Mitigating factors can be; Geographical location, underlying framing work, concrete work, how fancy do you want it, (niches, benches, tile design features, type of tile, etc.)

Rip out & removal of walls, tub, disposal, etc can vary. Type of waterproofing desired?

Concrete will need to be removed to move the drain and upgrade from a 1.5" to a 2" drain.

The door pictured can easily exceed $3,000 by itself.

Exclusive of tile, your project could vary from from $4000 to double that.

We're in the midst of a similar sized project. We've spent $5,700 so far and haven't installed the glass. So, Avanti is right. We'll probably come in somewhere under $9,000 when finished.

Hawaii: We re-tiled a small shower and the small floor. No new toilet. No new vanity/sinks. $7K. The frameless shower door (only 28" wide) is going to be $2K.

Resale can be sticky if there is NO tub in a house that would logically house kids.

I don't see space (or need) for a half wall at the toilet.

Thanks, everyone. We're definitely re-doing the bathroom to some degree. Option A is replace the tub and tile. Option B is change the tub to a shower and re-tile. So, my larger question is how much more expensive will it be to change the bath to a shower, rather than just re-doing the bath itself?

It sounds like the major costs will be upgrading the drain from 1.5" to 2" and the cost of the glass enclosure. Is that right? Of course, keeping the bath would require the purchase of a new tub.

(Response to chisue - we have another upstairs bathtub in a jack and jill bath in between the kids' bedrooms, and a tub in the master downstairs, so I don't think this will create problems for resale).

Actually, the drain upgrade is pretty minimal. As a tile mechanic, I do that for under $500. A plumber might charge much more for it. Simply a matter of chipping up the concrete to provide a "trench" to lay in the new pipe and "P" Trap and bring up a "riser" to attach the drain to.

I believe Kohler has a shower pan that will fit in the space of the tub. The drain is located where the tub drain is located. It's 32" wide by 60" if I remember. Look up on the Kohler site. Their site is not user friendly. I have cast iron pan 36"x60" with a center drain

The bathtub in my hall bath was "sinking" into the crawl space, and it was old and yucky anyway ... so we had it ripped out and replaced with an all-tile shower. 12x12 tiles on the walls, 2x2 tile on the floor, one shampoo niche, new sliding glass doors. Same size as the tub that was there before. New internal plumbing and plain shower head. No seat, no windows.

We paid about $2600 ... that covered yanking out the old tub and surround and laying the tile. The handyman who did it gave me a list of what tile to buy, and I went and picked that myself -- and paid for it separately. That was another $250? Since we are prepping to sell in two years or so, I chose simple and neutral. If I'd chosen what I really like, my tile would've been more expensive.

This was JUST the shower. He touched nothing else in the bathroom.

My girls are thrilled with their new shower and don't miss the tub in the least.

My regrets:

I wish we'd had two niches put in -- the 12x12 niche holds a large pump-type bottle of shampoo and conditioner and a liquid soap ... but they also have body wash and shaving cream, and those things are sitting on the floor.

And I wish I'd had them a hand-held fixture put in. That's easy enough to fix, we just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks for the responses everyone. This has been super helpful!

the least expensive way would be a tub cut, For about $1,000 & up, a piece of the tub's side wall is removed and capped, making the tub step in threshold 8"-10" lower.

What would it cost for this shower

Chisue made an extremely valid & important point that I had not even considered until I read it. It's not because we're looking to sell or even rent in the near future, or EVER for that matter, but...what if? The comment posted was: "Resale can be sticky if there is NO tub in a house that would logically house kids." We (okay, I was) thinking of converting the tub/shower to just a walk-in shower. So, thank you Chisue for bringing this to our (my) attention.

I live in central Texas and my 2 quotes were both over $15,000 for 36x60 tub to shower shower door 3 shower walls greenboard base plumbing drain and new fixtures Thats outrageous

that Is ridiculous price I do this everyday and never been over half of that I usually get customers to pick and buy the tile and the materials I go with them and just price them labor makes so much sense ,you know your not paying more for materials and I show you how much the each thing cost in labor like tare out tub and demo ,redo plumbing for shower ,relocate drain ,hardy bracker walls,tile walls and grout, shower doors cost I never in my 20 years ever heard it that high I'm in dfw Texas erea

Well, theres the halfass hack way, with folks using greenboard and not even knowing any better, or doing the 9K Bathfitter glue on plastic scam, and there’s the *right* way. The right way is still a 10K project. But it won’t leak and rot.

We have a super tiny bathroom and the estimate we received for replacing tub with shower, new toilet and tile floor (vanity and fixtures not included) was $9000.

Interesting information. My Sister just got a quote from HD for $26K to covert tub to shower and new vanity! You could remodel and entire kitchen for that.
