About This Service

Expert Shower Remodel in Lawrence, KS

Shower remodel runs $3,200 to $9,500 for most projects, and the reason the range is wide has nothing to do with tile selection. Three decisions set the budget before anyone picks a finish. Does the drain move. Does the mixing valve get replaced. Does the entry stay curbed or go flush with the floor. We price those decisions honestly at the estimate rather than discovering them halfway through demolition.

Tub-to-shower conversion is the project we are asked about most, and in Lawrence the demand skews noticeably by neighborhood age. The subdivisions west of Kasold are now reaching the point where original owners are staying in place and want a curbless or low-threshold entry rather than stepping over a tub wall, so a large share of our conversion calls from that part of the city are specifically an aging-in-place decision rather than a cosmetic one. Converting inside the existing footprint is the manageable version, the tub comes out, the drain generally stays near where it already sits, and a pan and surround go in.

Waterproofing is where showers succeed or fail. Cement backer board is not waterproof, it is water-durable, meaning it survives getting wet without rotting or losing strength, but water passes directly through it. A shower stays dry because a continuous waterproofing layer sits between the tile and the structure, with every inside corner, seam, and pipe penetration sealed into that same system.

The pan is the second structural decision. A pre-formed acrylic or solid-surface base is fast and predictable. A tiled pan built over a sloped mortar bed gives full design freedom at the cost of more labor. A linear drain set along one wall allows the whole floor to slope in a single plane, which is what makes a curbless entry drain properly. We handle demo, framing repair, pans, waterproofing systems, tile and surrounds, valve and trim replacement, niches, benches, and glass. Call 877-519-9702 for a free shower remodel estimate.

Our Process

How We Handle Shower Remodel

Decide the Real Scope First

Whether the drain moves, whether the valve gets replaced, and whether the entry stays curbed are the three answers that set the entire budget.

Demo and Look at What Is Behind

Old surrounds hide rotted studs and soft subfloor more often than not, and that gets assessed and priced before new material goes anywhere near it.

Build the Waterproofing as One System

Pan, curb, corners, and walls are made continuous, backer board is not waterproof on its own, and one unsealed corner undoes the rest.

Set Finishes, Then Flood Test

Surround, valve trim, niche, and glass go in, and the pan is water-tested before finishes close it up rather than after.

How much does a shower remodel cost in Lawrence?

Most projects land between $3,200 and $9,500, and the spread comes down to three decisions: whether the drain moves, whether the valve gets replaced, and whether the entry stays curbed. Tub-to-shower conversion in the same footprint typically runs $3,800 to $7,500.

Can you convert my tub into a walk-in shower?

Yes, and it is the most requested bathroom project we do. Converting within the existing footprint is the straightforward version, the tub comes out, the drain usually stays close to where it already is, and a shower pan and surround go in.

Is cement backer board waterproof?

No. Cement board is water-durable, meaning it does not rot or lose strength when wet, but water passes straight through it. A shower needs an actual waterproofing membrane over the board, with every corner, seam, and pipe penetration sealed into that same system.

How long will my bathroom be out of use?

Plan on 5 to 10 working days for a tiled shower and 3 to 5 for an acrylic or solid-surface surround.

Is tub-to-shower conversion demand different in the West Lawrence subdivisions?

It is, and age is the reason. A lot of the housing west of Kasold is now reaching the age where the original owners are staying in place and want a curbless or low-threshold entry instead of stepping over a tub wall. We see the aging-in-place conversion driving a large share of the calls from that part of the city specifically.
