Bathtub to Shower Conversion in Toronto

Replace your underused bathtub with a beautiful, functional walk-in shower. Our licensed and insured team handles every step from tub removal and plumbing rework to custom tile, frameless glass, and premium fixtures—delivering a bathroom that looks and performs better than ever.

Reclaim Your Space with a Tub to Shower Conversion

Many homeowners find that their bathtub goes unused for years while taking up valuable bathroom real estate. A tub-to-shower conversion frees up floor space, eliminates the high step-over entry of a traditional tub, and gives your bathroom a clean, modern aesthetic. Whether you want a simple alcove shower or a full curbless walk-in with body jets, we build it right.

Tub Removal & Plumbing Rework

We carefully remove your existing bathtub, inspect the subfloor and wall framing for moisture damage, and rework the plumbing to accommodate your new walk-in shower layout. Our licensed plumbers relocate drains, supply lines, and valves to meet Ontario Plumbing Code requirements, ensuring your new shower performs flawlessly from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the questions Ontario homeowners ask most.

A bathtub to shower conversion in Toronto typically costs between $8,000 and $18,000. The price depends on the type of shower you want (standard walk-in vs. curbless), the tile and glass selections, the extent of plumbing modifications required, and whether the conversion includes additional features like a built-in bench or heated flooring. We provide a detailed written quote after an in-home assessment.

In general, it is recommended to keep at least one bathtub in the home for families with young children or future buyers who may prefer one. Converting a second or third bathroom tub to a walk-in shower typically increases appeal and value. We can advise you on the best approach during your consultation based on your home's layout and the Toronto market.

Most bathtub to shower conversions take between 7 and 12 business days. This includes demolition, plumbing modifications, waterproofing, tile installation, glass enclosure fitting, and final fixture installation. If structural modifications or permit requirements are involved, the timeline may extend slightly.

If the conversion stays within the existing bathroom footprint and does not involve moving major plumbing lines or altering load-bearing walls, a permit is generally not required. However, if you are relocating the drain, adding new water lines, or changing the structural layout, a building permit from your municipality will be needed. We handle all permit applications for you.

Yes. Curbless conversions are one of our most popular requests. The process requires lowering the drain to create a sloped floor that directs water to a linear drain without a raised threshold. This provides a modern, seamless look and is ideal for accessible bathroom designs. Additional subfloor work is typically required, which we handle as part of the project.
