Every week someone asks us what a tile shower actually costs, and every week the internet gives them a range so wide it is useless. Here are our real numbers.
THE SHORT ANSWER
Most full custom tile showers we build in Vancouver and Portland run $6,200 to $10,500 for labor and waterproofing. Tub-to-shower conversions start around $5,600. Finish tile is priced with your selections on top.
WHAT MOVES THE PRICE
- Size, a 3x3 stall and a 5-foot walk-in are different animals
- Niches, benches, and corner shelves, each adds labor
- Curbless entry, the recessed pan and linear drain add work below the tile
- Tile choice, large format and mosaic both price higher than standard field tile
- Glass, frameless doors run more than sliders
WHEN YOU SHOULD NOT REMODEL
If your tile is sound and the grout is the problem, a regrout runs $550 to $900 and makes the shower read brand new. We will tell you honestly which one you need at the free visit.
