A Shower Conversion Bothell Homeowners Can Count On

At CraftHaus, we handle demo and tile in-house, and bring in trusted plumbing and glass partners for the specialized work. One crew manages the whole process start to finish.

Before tear-out starts, we walk your bathroom with you. We talk through how you use the space, what's wrong with the tub, and what layout fits your plumbing. Every tub to shower conversion in Bothell starts with this conversation, acrylic or tile. Want a designer's eye on the layout? Our team brings one in.

HOW WE GET YOU THERE

Your Tub to Shower Conversion, Step by Step

Every conversion follows the same clear steps, from your first call to the final walkthrough. Nothing gets rushed, and nothing gets skipped. Here's what actually happens once you decide to move forward.

1

Consultation & Planning

We look at your bathroom and help you choose between acrylic or tile based on your budget, timeline, and how much design flexibility you want.

2

Demo & Rough-In

The old tub and surround come out down to the studs. Plumbing behind the wall gets adjusted for your new valve, drain, and showerhead.

3

Waterproofing & Installation

This step decides whether your shower lasts fifteen years or five. We waterproof with proven systems that keep moisture out, then install your tile or acrylic system. Either way, we finish with your fixtures: showerhead, handles, niches, and grab bars if you want them.

4

Final Walkthrough

Every seal gets checked, the space gets cleaned up, and you walk through the finished shower with us before we call the job done. Most jobs take one to three days start to finish.

WHY BOTHELL HOMEOWNERS MAKE THE SWITCH

What You Actually Gain by Losing the Tub

Most people come to us for one reason: they never use the tub, someone has balance concerns, the tub surround is failing, or they're prepping to sell.

Easier, safer daily access

More usable floor space

Less to clean, no tub lip or grout trapping soap scum

Better resale appeal, especially with more than one bathtub in the home

Fixes tubs that have been quietly leaking into your subfloor

If your tub surround has failing caulk or cracked grout, water has likely already gotten behind the wall. We check for that during demo.

A shower isn't always the right call. If it's your home's only tub, or you're selling to a family that wants one, we may point you toward a full bathroom remodel instead.

Tub to Shower Conversions Across Bothell

Bothell homes have their own quirks. Older houses often have original galvanized plumbing that wasn't built for a modern shower valve. A tub to shower conversion in an older Bothell home usually means more prep work than in new construction. Either way, permit coordination is built into how we run a project, so you don't deal with the city yourself.

 We most often convert primary and master bathrooms, in older homes, new construction, and condos, with some limitations depending on the building.

We proudly serve homeowners in:

Signs a Shower Conversion Makes Sense (or Doesn't)

Not everyone who calls us ends up converting their tub. Here's what usually points toward a shower, and what points the other way.

Signs it's probably time:

  • You can't remember the last time anyone used the tub
  • Getting in and out feels risky for you or someone in your household
  • You're planning ahead for aging parents, or for staying in your own home longer
  • The tub surround is cracked, discolored, or has a ring that won't clean off
  • The bathroom feels tight, and losing the tub would open up the room
  • You're getting the house ready to list and want it to show well

Signs to slow down first:

  • It's the only tub in the house, and buyers in your area still expect one
  • You're planning to sell within the next year to a family market

A tub to shower conversion works best when it solves a real problem, not just a style update. We'll walk through your specific situation before recommending anything, no pressure either way.

This comes up a lot with Bothell homeowners thinking ahead about aging in place. A curbless shower with grab bars can mean staying in your home longer instead of moving later. Worth planning for before a fall forces the decision, not after.

For a sense of what that looks like finished, see our luxury master bath conversion in Mukilteo, a nearby project where we reworked the layout around easier, more accessible access.

Tub to Shower Conversion Cost in Bothell, WA

Pricing runs in three tiers: $6,000–$12,000 for a simpler acrylic system, up to $20,000+ for a fully custom tiled shower with premium glass and fixtures. What drives the range:

  • System choice. Acrylic is faster and cheaper than custom tile.
  • Plumbing changes. Keeping the drain and valve in place keeps costs down. Moving them adds labor.
  • Glass enclosure. Framed doors cost less. Frameless glass needs heavier hardware and precise measurements.
  • What's behind the wall. In older Bothell homes we often find corroded galvanized pipe or a 1.5-inch drain line that has to be brought up to the 2-inch modern shower code. We price these before we move forward, not after.

Financing is available if you'd rather spread the cost out.

Why a Custom Bathtub to Shower Remodel Beats a One-Day Liner Install

You've probably seen ads for one-day companies that snap a liner over your existing tub. Here's the difference.

Those companies move fast because they're limited to a small set of pre-made options. We turn most jobs around in one to three days too, but you're not picking from a catalog of five colors. You get real tile or a real acrylic system built to your bathroom's actual dimensions.

A liner also just seals over whatever's already behind your old surround. We tear down to the studs first, so hidden problems get caught and fixed, not sealed in. We protect the rest of your home while we work: floors covered, work area sealed off, cleanup every day.

What's Covered After the Job Is Done

Every CraftHaus conversion comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty, plus separate coverage on waterproofing and on glass and hardware. If something comes up after we leave, whether it's re-grouting, a repair, or general upkeep, reach out and we'll take a look. It's the same communication-first process we follow on every job, start to finish.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Frequently Asked Questions About Tub to Shower Conversion

Walk in shower with prefab acrylic pan near a bathtub in Bothell
Does converting a tub to a shower add value to my home?
Plus Icon

It depends on your neighborhood and how many other tubs are in the house. For many Bothell homes with more than one bathroom, a shower conversion usually helps resale. If it's the only tub in the home, that's a different conversation, and we'll walk you through that tradeoff honestly before you commit to anything.

How long does a tub to shower conversion take?
Plus Icon

Most Bothell projects run one to three days depending on size and system choice. Acrylic wall systems tend to finish faster since there's no tile curing time involved. Custom tile takes a bit longer because of the waterproofing and setting process, but either way, we give you a clear schedule before we start so you know exactly when your bathroom will be out of commission.

How much does a tub to shower conversion cost in Bothell?
Plus Icon

Projects typically run from $6,000 for a simpler acrylic setup up to $20,000 or more for a fully custom tiled shower with premium glass. What you land on depends mostly on system choice, whether plumbing needs to move, and the glass enclosure style you pick. Financing is available if you'd rather spread the cost out.

Do I need a permit to convert a tub to a shower?
Plus Icon

In most cases, yes, especially if plumbing lines are moving. We handle the full permit process for you, start to finish.

Can I get a curbless or zero threshold shower?
Plus Icon

Usually, yes. It depends on your subfloor setup, which we check during the initial consultation. This is actually our most-requested layout among Bothell homeowners, since it works well for aging-in-place bathrooms and anyone who wants a cleaner, more open look without a lip to step over.

What waterproofing systems do you use, and why does it matter?
Plus Icon

We use systems like Schluter, Wedi, and HydroBlok. They hold less moisture and dry out faster than older methods, which means less mold risk and less upkeep down the road. Poor waterproofing is the most common reason a shower fails early, so it's the part we never cut corners on, especially in the damp Puget Sound climate. Tile showers get backer board and a full membrane. Acrylic systems get structural backing built to hold the panels seamlessly.

Will you handle plumbing and electrical changes?
Plus Icon

Yes. That includes moving drain lines, upgrading old galvanized pipe, adding exhaust fan capacity, or wiring for heated flooring if you want it. A lot of these come up once we're behind the wall, so we flag anything unexpected and price it before moving forward, not after.

Do you offer financing?
Plus Icon

Yes, we offer financing options to Bothell homeowners who'd rather not pay the full cost upfront.
