Conversion Kits vs. Custom Installation
You’ve probably seen tub-to-shower conversion kits online or at stores like Home Depot, but a DIY approach often leads to leaks, poor drainage, or code violations. With Mid State Baths, you get:
- Professional installation
- Custom fit for your exact space
- Code-compliant plumbing and drain adjustments
- Durable, long-lasting materials
- Peace of mind — no mess, no stress
How Much Does a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Cost?
The total conversion cost depends on:
- Size of the tub area
- Materials and fixtures chosen
- Plumbing changes
- Complexity of demolition and installation
Most of our clients find that their project falls in the mid-range compared to a full bathroom remodel. We also offer financing options to make your dream shower more affordable.

How long does a tub-to-shower conversion take?
Most conversions can be completed in 1–2 days, depending on your shower kit and layout.
What’s included in the cost?
The full project includes demolition, new shower base, wall panels or tile, updated plumbing, and glass doors or curtain rods.
Do I need to move any plumbing?
In many cases, we can keep your drain and water lines where they are — but if we need to shift anything, we’ll let you know during your in-home consultation.
Is it cheaper to use a conversion kit?
DIY conversion kits may seem cheaper, but poor installation often leads to leaks, mold, or expensive repairs. Our service is turnkey, code-compliant, and long-lasting.
