TubToday is more than just walk-in tubs, we do showers, and lots of them. You may be thinking about a new bath or shower installation and curious about what is involved in the process and how much it will cost. I hope this article will give you brief insights into the cost of a new bath, shower, Tub-to-Shower conversion or Tub-Shower combo.
Getting Started with your Tub or Shower Installation
Tub-Shower Combos and Tub-to-Shower conversions require almost the same amount of labor and materials and will be priced the same. The first step will be to determine your priorities. Which is most important to you? Is it budget, style and function? Or safety and luxury fixtures and finishes? Perhaps even a combination of the two. Once you have determined your checklist, it’s time to start building and designing your project. Time to call TubToday!
Next, your TubToday Specialist will go over a list of items that may be selected for your Tub and/or Shower Installation.
These are the following:
- the level of demo and removal of old materials
- dimensions of the spacing from studs to studs
- plumbing locations and relocations
- proper substrates
- framing or structural changes
- construction materials
- wall materials and finishes
- custom size pans or walls
- fixtures and finishes
- accessories and storage
- seating and safety accessories
- glass or curtains
In addition to the wet space, you may desire a quote on flooring, vanity, toilet, and lighting. Maybe even a full bathroom gut to the studs.
The Cost of Your Tub or Shower Installation
Once we have gathered all of this information, we can begin discussing the cost. When discussing terms and payments, you may be a cash customer and have a strict budget or you may desire more flexibility and utilize financing for a portion or all of your shower / bath remodel. Financing is quick and simple and is done in the comfort of your home. Be sure to discuss your budget openly and/or provide feed back if your quote is too high, so that adjustments can be made.
Your home comes into play as well. Do you live in a vintage 3 flat on the 3rd floor with older piping? Are you in a single-family home with all modern construction materials on the first floor? While these do not make huge swings in pricing, they all factor into a well-designed project to suit your needs and provide a lifetime of satisfaction.
Customize Your Dream Bathroom
TubToday offers a wide variety of Tub-to-Shower and custom shower and bathtub materials and options. These are selected to meet the very practical and budget savvy homeowner who is looking to keep it simple and budget-conscious, as well as the highest end customer looking for top-of-line finishes. Germany imported rain showers and thermostatic mixing valves, standard all-brass pressure balance valves, handheld shower wands, custom glass walls and enclosures, gorgeous teak seats, just to name a few. All of these spa-like options to build a luxury sanctuary for your home. You can take a look at these on our Services page.
