Factors That Can Impact Your Tub-to-Shower Conversion Budget - South Shore Dream Bath

Budget planning is a crucial part of any home improvement project, especially tub-to-shower conversions. From pre-construction to cleanup, there are several considerations to keep in mind to ensure the project will be finished on time and within budget.

In this article, South Shore Dream Bath highlights some of the top factors that can affect your bathroom renovation cost. 

Size and Materials

A smaller tub requires fewer materials and less labor, reducing your overall project expenses. However, customizations may be required for tubs that are bigger than the standard option, which can increase your tub-to-shower conversion cost. 

Moreover, the type and quality of materials that will be used in the renovation can significantly affect your budget. For instance, if you prefer stone over fiberglass or acrylic, expect to spend double or triple the average price.

 

Bathtub Removal

The labor and time required to get your old tub out can increase your total project expense. If your unit is a one-piece tub-shower combo, it might involve complex labor and take more time. The cost can go higher if you prefer getting your walls and flooring repaired or replaced in preparation for your tub-to-shower conversion. 

Necessary Repairs 

Existing damage might be discovered before your contractor starts installing your new shower. Some of these issues that need repair include broken tiles, cracked walls, water leaks and damaged pipes. Addressing these problems can impact your renovation budget.
