What affects the price
Replacing your shower involves a few key variables that change the total. The biggest factor is the scope of the demo—whether we are just updating the hardware or removing an old tub entirely. Your choice of materials, like tile versus acrylic, and the complexity of the plumbing adjustments behind the walls also shift the bottom line. Adding features like built-in seating, safety grab bars, or specialized showerheads will adjust your investment accordingly.

Frequently asked in Reno
What is the average cost for a walk-in shower?
What are common problems with walk-in showers?
Common concerns can include ensuring a watertight seal around the door and base, proper slope for drainage to prevent water pooling, and the functionality of the door mechanism. Older homes might also present challenges with existing plumbing or subfloor conditions. A good installer will address these proactively.
Will Medicare pay for a walk-in shower?
Medicare generally only covers walk-in showers if they are deemed medically necessary by a doctor due to a significant health condition that affects mobility. It's not typically considered a standard benefit for home improvement. You should contact Medicare directly to inquire about your specific eligibility and coverage details.
What is the best type of walk-in shower?
The ideal walk-in shower for you in Reno will depend on your priorities. For maximum accessibility and ease of use, a curbless entry and a wide door are excellent. If you have limited space, a corner unit or one with a folding seat might be more suitable. The pros can help you choose.
What is the average cost to put in a walk-in shower?
What are the disadvantages of a walk-in shower?
Some potential drawbacks might include the upfront investment compared to a basic shower replacement. Depending on the design, there might be a slight adjustment period for using the door or stepping over the threshold if it's not curbless. However, the safety and convenience often outweigh these points.
