Real price ranges for tile showers, curbless showers, frameless glass, and tub-to-shower conversions — from a licensed Prescott contractor.
Walk-in shower installation in Prescott, AZ typically runs $8,000 to $35,000, depending on size, materials, glass type, and whether plumbing needs to be relocated. A basic tub-to-shower conversion with a solid-surface panel system sits at the low end. A large custom tile shower with frameless glass, a built-in bench, rainfall head, and heated floor sits at the high end. Here's how to think about where your project falls.
| Tier | Typical Range | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Conversion | $8,000–$14,000 | Solid-surface panel system (groutless), standard shower valve, glass door, new drain in existing footprint |
| Mid-Range Tile Shower | $14,000–$22,000 | Porcelain tile walls & floor, mortar bed, semi-frameless glass door, shampoo niche, waterproofing membrane |
| Custom Tile + Glass | $22,000–$35,000 | Large-format tile, frameless glass enclosure, built-in bench, rainfall + handheld heads, linear drain, niche |
| Premium / Luxury | $35,000–$55,000+ | Natural stone, book-matched panels, steam system, heated floor, multiple showerheads, plumbing relocation, permit |
These ranges reflect installed cost — materials, labor, waterproofing, and hardware — not materials-only. Most Infinity clients in Prescott land in the mid-range to custom tier, typically $18,000–$28,000 for a thorough single-shower installation.
The choice between a tile shower and a solid-surface (groutless) panel system is the single biggest cost and lifestyle decision in a shower build. Solid-surface acrylic panel systems — we install Sentrel — typically cost $3,000–$6,000 for materials, install in one to two days, and require zero maintenance. They're the right choice for busy households, vacation properties, and aging-in-place situations. Custom tile showers cost more in both materials and labor: plan on $8–$30+ per square foot for tile (porcelain to natural stone), plus the skilled labor to set it correctly. A 36×48 shower with 100 square feet of tile surface runs $1,500–$5,000 in tile materials alone. The tile route delivers unlimited design flexibility and a high-end aesthetic that solid-surface cannot fully replicate. Most Prescott clients who care about design choose tile; most who care about maintenance choose panels.

Glass door and enclosure type significantly affects both cost and appearance:
A curbless (barrier-free) shower has no threshold — the floor transitions flush from the bathroom into the shower. This requires a sloped mud-bed floor, often a linear drain, and more careful waterproofing at the transition. Add $1,500–$3,000 over a standard curbed shower. The premium is worth it for most homeowners — curbless showers are easier to clean, safer to enter, and look significantly more modern than a shower with a curb. They're also the right choice if aging-in-place is a consideration.
Standard shower size is 36×36 inches (minimum functional) to 36×48 inches. Most Prescott homeowners going for a real upgrade choose 42×42 to 48×48 or larger. Every additional square foot of shower means more tile, more waterproofing, more mud bed, and more glass. A shower that's 50% larger isn't 50% more expensive — the fixed costs (glass door, valve, drain) stay the same — but plan for roughly $150–$250 per additional square foot in materials and labor.
If your new shower is going where the tub was and the drain is in roughly the same location, plumbing costs are minimal — a drain adapter and supply connection. If you're relocating the drain (common with curbless linear drain conversions), adding a steam generator, or converting a wall niche to a shower, a licensed plumber is involved. Budget $600–$2,500 for plumbing work depending on scope. Infinity coordinates licensed plumbing subcontractors as part of our project management.
A tub-to-shower conversion specifically — removing an existing tub and building a walk-in shower in that footprint — typically runs $10,000–$22,000 in Prescott. The range reflects whether you choose solid-surface panels vs. tile, and how elaborate the shower is. The tub removal and disposal is typically included in the project cost. One thing to consider before converting: if this is your only bathroom and your potential buyers would expect a tub, keep it. If you have a second bathroom with a tub, converting your primary bathroom shower is almost always the right move. See our full tub-to-shower conversion page for more detail on the process.
The cost ranges above cover the shower installation specifically. They do not include:
Yes — a walk-in shower (no door or a fixed glass panel) in a large format is typically more expensive than a standard shower-tub combo because it requires a larger footprint, more tile, and more sophisticated waterproofing. However, a basic walk-in with solid-surface panels can actually be comparable in price to a standard tile shower-tub combo because of the lower installation labor.
A solid-surface panel installation takes 2–4 days. A custom tile shower with frameless glass takes 7–14 business days — tile must cure before glass can be templated and fabricated. Total elapsed time including glass fabrication is often 3–4 weeks from demo to final walkthrough.
Yes. We warranty all workmanship for one year from project completion. Solid-surface panel systems (Sentrel) carry a manufacturer's lifetime warranty. Tile and grout carry a manufacturer warranty that varies by product. Frameless glass hardware is typically warranted for one year by the fabricator.
