A tub-to-shower conversion in Temecula typically costs $25,000 to $35,000 with Legacy Construction & Design. That covers removing the tub, building a waterproofed shower pan at the existing drain, custom tile with a niche or bench, frameless glass and a new vanity. Prices are the same across every city we serve.
The price reflects a full conversion, not a liner over the old tub. We remove the tub and surround, check the framing and subfloor, and build a sloped shower pan with a waterproofing membrane behind the tile. The pan is water-tested before any tile goes in. Then we set wall and floor tile, add a niche or bench, install the shower trim and head, and finish with frameless glass. Most conversions also include a new vanity, updated lighting and fresh paint so the room feels finished, not patched.
The shower stays in the tub's footprint and uses the existing drain location. Moving a drain on a slab requires a permit. We keep our projects within the scope that does not require a building permit, and we tell you at the first visit if what you have in mind would need one. Within that footprint you still have plenty of choices. Porcelain tile keeps cost toward the lower end of the range, while natural stone, mosaics and patterned layouts add material and labor. Semi-frameless glass costs less than fully frameless.
Many Temecula neighborhoods have HOAs with rules on work hours, dumpsters and contractor parking, so check those before the start date. On-site work for a conversion usually fits within 8 to 12 days once tile, glass and fixtures are on hand, and frameless glass is measured after tile is finished. We start with a free in-home consultation in Temecula, measure the space, talk through how you use the bathroom, and give you a written estimate before any work begins, so you know the full cost up front.
