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.
