The shower is the centerpiece of any bathroom remodel. Whether you're refreshing an outdated shower-tub combo or building a spa-like walk-in, the options and price points span a wide range.
ProWorx Restoration handles every type of shower installation — from budget-friendly updates to custom luxury builds across Mesa and the Phoenix Metro area.
Shower Remodel Option 1: Shower Insert/Liner ($1,500–$4,000)
The most affordable option. An acrylic or fiberglass insert fits over your existing shower walls without full demolition.
- Best for: Quick updates on a tight budget
- Timeline: 1–2 days
- Pros: Fast, affordable, low mess
- Cons: Limited design options, doesn't add much home value, shorter lifespan
Shower Remodel Option 2: Tub-to-Shower Conversion ($5,000–$12,000)
Removing the bathtub and installing a dedicated shower is the most popular bathroom upgrade in Mesa. A walk-in shower conversion opens up space and modernizes the bathroom instantly.
- Best for: Older homes with rarely-used tubs
- Timeline: 1–2 weeks
- Includes: Demolition, plumbing adjustments, new tile, glass door/panel, fixtures

Shower Remodel Option 3: Tile Shower Upgrade ($8,000–$18,000)
A full tile shower with custom design elements is the sweet spot for most Mesa homeowners. This includes:
- Custom tile selection (walls and floor)
- Built-in niches for storage
- Frameless glass enclosure
- Updated fixtures and showerhead
- Proper waterproofing membrane
Shower Remodel Option 4: Luxury Custom Shower ($15,000–$30,000+)
For homeowners who want a spa experience at home:
- Rain showerhead with body jets
- Dual shower heads — rain and handheld
- Steam shower capability
- Natural stone or large-format porcelain
- Linear drain with curbless entry
- Built-in bench seating
- LED niche lighting
A luxury shower pairs beautifully with a custom bathroom design for a complete primary suite transformation.
Key Design Decisions for Your Shower Remodel
- Tile size: Large-format tiles (12x24, 24x24) minimize grout lines and feel more modern
- Glass enclosure: Frameless glass maximizes visual space — essential for small bathrooms
- Shower bench: Built-in or fold-down — adds comfort and accessibility
- Niche placement: Eye-level niches are most practical; accent tile in niches adds a design focal point
- Waterproofing: Critical in any shower — we use Schluter or RedGard systems for complete protection
Aging-in-Place Shower Features
