"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."

"Cayetano was such a great help! We have had a leaky shower for days now so we got around to taking time to hire a plumber and come help. Avila plumbing was here in no time fixing and getting our home back to normal! We are thankful for the work, the time and energy you put into the project. We appreciated the attention to detail and eagerness to really help us. The project was supposed to be small and quick and sure enough we have drywall coming out and Avila in the zone 4 hours in! We are thankful and definitely recommend their service. We have another project lined up as well."

"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."

"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."

"We have a second home with a large cantilevered deck on the 3rd story.  It was a very difficult engineering job and Jason and I discussed how to approach replacing it from every angle possible.  We finally decided to completely remove it and replace it with a deck, of the exact same design, except supported from below.

It was a very difficult job but Jason, as usual, did a stellar job.  The deck is as solid as a rock, looks great and was done on time.  My family is ecstatic with the results.  I won't use another contractor for anything technical like this except Jason."

"Tyler was awesome and originally we thought we'd just need a faucet water hose to be looked at, but he discovered the real source of the issue and was able to fix that. He then discovered a few other things that had been/were leaking and took care of all of that in the time he was at the house. A very honest person, had high integrity, was polite and very professional. He was able to answer a lot of questions we had and made us feel confident in his abilities to get he job done right. I'd definitely hire again for any plumbing needs."

FAQs for shower installation and replacement projects in Santa Cruz, 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.
