Let's skip the 'every project is different, call for a quote' dance. Most tub-to-shower conversions we build in the Toledo area land between $8,000 and $13,000, and a typical full bathroom project runs around $12,000. Here's what determines where your project falls.
The 2026 ranges, plainly
| Scope | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Standard 60" alcove conversion, same footprint | $8,000 – $11,000 |
| Conversion with premium walls, glass, seat | $10,000 – $13,000 |
| Conversion with barrier-free entry | $11,000 – $15,000 |
| Full bathroom (conversion + floor, vanity, paint) | $13,000 – $18,000+ |
What moves the number up
- Moving the drain or valve wall (plumbing labor adds fast)
- Barrier-free entries — the floor gets rebuilt to slope to the drain
- Premium marble- and stone-look wall patterns
- Frameless glass instead of framed or a curtain
- Hidden moisture damage behind the old tub — priced in writing before we continue, never sprung on the invoice
What keeps it down
- Keeping the existing footprint — the 60" alcove in most Toledo-area homes converts cleanly
- Standard wall patterns
- A quality curtain rod instead of glass (perfectly respectable, and swappable later)
Why national-brand quotes sometimes look cheaper
The 'bath-in-a-day' price often covers a liner installed over your existing tub or panels over the existing wall — the old problems stay sealed inside. Our price includes full tear-out and moisture-proof backing on every wet wall. Different job, different number, very different year fifteen.
The only number that matters is the written one after a laser measure of your actual room. The estimate is free, in your home, and carries zero obligation.
