"Andrew Dennison and Bronson were great! Professional, efficient and friendly! They installed/replaced an old tub and shower with a Jacuzzi tub and shower. It looks great and it was great having them work in our bathroom and home. Cleanup was great as well."

"Ofer and his team were very responsive for our bath/shower replacement. The team was very tidy, clean, and respectful of the home as they worked for several days. My wife was nine months pregnant at the time and Ofer and his team were very thoughtful and prompt with the work to help us out. We were really satisfied with the work- finished on-time, in scope and in the quoted fair price. In general, really good customer service from Ofer and a very helpful team."

"Reached out to a few plumbing companies needing emergency work on a shower valve that needed to be replaced. Chandlers plumbing responded within minutes and had somebody at my door within 20min. Price point was reasonable so I gave them a shot. They did not disappoint. They got me back in business quick and they did a really clean job. I would definitely recommend them and use them for future projects."

"The work began on December 30, 2015 and continued, with a break for New Year's Day, into the next week. Everyone connected to the project was professional, honest, friendly, and efficient. The men tore out the old tile and backing, inspected the wood, and removed the old tub. All the discarded materials were hauled away. They installed the new tub and Jason did the plumbing. They then installed new insulation, cement board, and a vapor block sheet. Jason knew that having a bathroom out of commission for any time was inconvenient, so he kept the down time to a minimum. I had one night without the use of the toilet while the floor tile set, and then they were back the next day, finishing the job. Finally, my dream bathroom was complete and it looked beautiful! 
During this process, the toilet was removed and reconnected several times to keep it available for use as much as possible. Perhaps in one of those moves, something fell into the drain. In any case, I had problems in the weeks that followed with blockage in the toilet and tub, but Jason responded quickly and did his best to clear it. The third time, he hired a plumber to snake and camera the drain. The problem was resolved and has not returned. Throughout, Jason remained calm, professional, and kind in his dealings with me. 
I liked all the people who worked with Jason; they clearly respected me, my daughter - even our little dog - and were careful to keep us informed of every step in the process. I also noticed that they spoke respectfully to each other and never made negative remarks, even during the arduous process of pulling out a 300+ pound tub. I now have a wonderful deep tub to relax in after a hard day's work. It is a beautiful space and I'm happy I chose Precision Built Construction. I will definitely hire Jason again for my
next renovation project."

"The walls were down to the studs so the plumbers could access the pipes to convert them from a tub/shower set-up to a shower only set-up. This included installing a new valve for the shower. They did this part of the job on June 18. It took an afternoon and the job was complete when they left the premises that day. We paid them by check, $475. Once the shower pan, drain, and shower walls were installed the plumbers returned on August 14 to connect the drain and install the outside wall shower fixture and faucet. It took 3/4's of the day because they ran into an unforseen problem with our shut-off valve to the house. It failed to work properly and they ended up having to replace it. That was an additional cost which we agreed to pay ($300). The end of the day came, and the plumber took me into the shower stall to explain that the large rain-style showerhead is dripping, but those type of fixtures do that for a bit after the shower is turned off. We paid them $525 for the fixture and faucet install. Over the next 90 minutes I checked on the dripping fixture, and it had not stopped. It was more than a small drip. It was dripping a lot. I reached out to the plumber and he said the problem was likely the fixture needed replacing. The fixture was brand new out of the box. I did some research on YouTube about dripping shower fixtures and found that it is likely an issue with the valve. It could be damaged, faulty, or dirty. When I told the plumber this he disagreed. The next week he sent one of his guys back to look it it, and he said the same thing: The fixture needs replacing. You need to send it back and get a different type of unit. After this I went online again and found another opinion that it is the valve. So I sent the plumber a video of the unit dripping from the connection where I removed the hose shower head. When he saw this he agreed that it was the valve. However, he did not offer his service to come back to check the valve and provided a solution. This lead me to contact another plumber and this plumber concurred that it was a valve issue, the valve cartridge. He sent his guy over on August 25th, and he removed the cartridge and ordered a replacement one, and is going to come back on August 28th to install it for us. This is estimated to cost us $650, $400 labor and $200 for the cartridge. My gripe with the plumber I hired from Angie is that he left us with a drippy shower and did not care enough to come back and correct it. He made excuses that he was so busy and working out of the area. We did not pay a professional to leave us with a drippy shower unit. It is our opinion that the job was not completed satisfactorily. We kept having to turn our water to the house on and off because the dripping never stopped. The shower unit was turned off and it just kept dripping. The total we paid this company was $1300. $475 for the converted piping, $300 for the new house shut-off valve and $525 for the fixture installation. In addition, I asked the plumber multiple times to provide a receipt for the jobs they did, and have received no paperwork from them. This is most unprofessional. There should be a document with the charges and what they were for, and confirmation of payment."

FAQs for shower installation and replacement projects in Watsonville, CA

Replacing your tub with a shower can modernize your bathroom and improve accessibility, often providing a high return on investment. However, if it's the only bathtub in your home, removing it may decrease resale value, as many buyers look for at least one bathtub. Consider your long-term plans and consult a real estate professional if resale value is a concern.

While showers cost slightly more to install than tubs, the overall expense depends on various factors such as materials, size, and features. A tub installation costs $2,400 to $8,800 on average, whereas showers average $2,000 to $9,400. Custom designs, luxury fixtures, or extensive plumbing work can increase costs for both options. It's important to assess your specific needs and budget when deciding between installing a shower or a tub.

Converting a tub to a shower generally takes between one and three days. The timeline depends on the complexity of the project, materials chosen, and whether plumbing modifications are necessary. Installing a standard prefabricated shower can be completed quickly, while custom tile work or extensive plumbing changes may extend the project's duration. Planning accordingly can help minimize disruptions during the conversion.

Converting a tub to a shower offers several benefits, including saving space and making your bathroom feel more open and modern. Showers improve accessibility, especially for those with mobility challenges, by eliminating the need to step over a high tub wall. Additionally, updating to a stylish shower can enhance your bathroom's aesthetic appeal and may increase your home's resale value if another tub is available elsewhere in the house.

Choosing between a shower stall and a custom shower depends on your budget and preferences. Prefabricated stalls are less expensive and faster to install but offer limited styles. Custom showers allow personalization of size, materials, and features but cost more and require professional installation. Evaluate your needs and budget to select the best option for your space.

If you’re converting a tub to a shower, you may want to consider remodeling your whole bathroom. The ROI on bathroom remodels is high (over 70%), so you can enjoy an upgraded bathroom while you live in your home and get your money back if you decide to sell later. The average cost to remodel a bathroom is around $6,600 to $16,600, so factor in this price range when you’re budgeting for your project.

Converting a tub to a shower alone isn't easy to DIY, so look for a bathroom remodeler near you if you decide to take on a larger bathroom remodel to ensure it's done correctly.
