# Tub-to-Shower Cost Guide

> Estimate a tub-to-shower conversion by surround type and add-ons, with sourced national ranges and a local estimate by city.

Tub-to-Shower Cost Guide builds a sourced cost estimate for converting a tub to a shower, by surround type and add-on, then adjusts it for local wages by city. Contractor listings underneath the estimate come from this site's license file for that state, when it has one; in a city without one yet, that same list instead shows the tub-to-shower businesses with the strongest combined rating on Google there. Spotted an error on a listing, or want one pulled? That's what team@adsora.com is for.

## Data sources and methodology

License listings are active records from state contractor license registries, checked September 2026. Each city page names the registry its rows came from and links each business to its own record. A listing is not a recommendation.
Where a city has no usable license file, the page lists top-rated businesses from a Google Maps search and shows the month those ratings were checked. A rating is not a license check.
Local facts on city pages, such as housing age, wages, climate and hazard ratings, come from the datasets below. Cost figures, where this site publishes them, are copied from the cited pages with the date each one was checked. The "Updated" line on a city page or cost guide is the newest of those source dates. Dataset assembled October 2026.

License registries used on this site:

- California Contractors State License Board (5,198 listings)
- Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (800 listings)
- Nevada State Contractors Board (331 listings)
- Oregon Construction Contractors Board (209 listings)
- Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (80 listings)
- Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (37 listings)
- Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, Board for Contractors (6 listings)
