What types of bathroom conversions can you do?

We handle a wide range of bathroom conversions depending on your space and goals. Common options include turning a tub into a walk-in shower, replacing a shower with a bathtub, upgrading a half bath to a full bath, converting a closet or laundry area into a bathroom, combining two smaller bathrooms into one larger layout, and reconfiguring tight spaces for better function.

How long does a bathroom conversion usually take?

It depends on the size and scope of the project. Smaller conversions often move quickly, while custom designs or layout changes take a bit more time. We always provide a clear timeline before work begins.

Can I add accessibility features to my conversion?

Yes. We install walk-in showers, grab bars, built-in benches, and low-threshold entries to improve mobility and safety without compromising design.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

We do. Our team manages all the necessary permits and coordinates with local building departments to ensure your project meets Bell County’s requirements.

What are some ways to make my new bathroom more efficient?

We recommend energy-efficient lighting, low-flow fixtures, and proper insulation. These upgrades reduce water and power use while keeping your space comfortable and modern.

Walk-In Shower Installation

That bathtub you step over every morning and never actually use, it's time to turn that space into something that works for your life.

Homeowners Trust Gill Construction With Their Bathrooms

Here in Georgetown, we have seen how a well-done walk-in shower can change the feel of an entire home. You walk into your bathroom in the morning, and instead of bracing yourself for the step-over, you just walk in.

That kind of small daily difference adds up in ways you do not fully appreciate until you are living with it.

We have been doing this work long enough to know that every bathroom is different, and the shower area that works perfectly for one house might not suit another at all. That’s why we sit down with you first to talk through how you use the space, who else uses it, and what the room can realistically accommodate before any tools come out.

We are not here to push the most expensive option or rush through a job to get to the next one. We are here to build a shower that fits your home, your family, and your budget, and to back it up with work we are genuinely proud of.

Who Benefits From Walk-In Showers

Walk-in showers suit a wider range of people than most folks expect, and once you understand that, the decision to install one becomes a lot easier.

People with limited mobility or balance concerns. Removing the tub and the step-over threshold significantly reduces the risk of falls. Add grab bars and a zero-threshold base, and your shower becomes one of the safer rooms in the house.
Older adults aging in place. Bell County has a growing number of homeowners who plan to stay in their homes for the long term. A walk-in shower is one of the most practical updates you can make to support that goal.
Families with young children. Easier access means bath time is less stressful. No more hoisting kids over the tub edge, and cleaning up afterward is easy.
Anyone tired of a bathtub they never use. If the tub is gathering dust and taking up a third of your bathroom, converting it to a walk-in shower gives that space back to you.
Homeowners thinking about resale value. A clean, well-installed shower area signals to buyers that the bathroom has been updated with real attention. It is a genuine selling point in this market.

Highly recommend! Steven and Greg were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They remodeled a shower for me.

While most remodeling jobs don’t go exactly as planned their ability to adapt and overcome with such a great attitude is remarkable.

The skills and craftsmanship, in addition to the professionalism, of the crew are awesome. I will definitely use again.

DIY vs. Professional Walk-In Shower Installation

Some homeowners look at installing a walk-in shower and think it is a manageable weekend project. But the actual installation involves a lot more than most people account for upfront:

Waterproofing and sealing

A shower that is not properly sealed can cause water damage inside your walls, and the problem is often invisible until it becomes expensive to fix.

Drain placement and floor slope

The base has to angle correctly toward the drain. Get it wrong, and you end up with pooling water every time someone showers.

Tile installation

Setting tiles on shower walls and a shower floor is not the same as tiling a kitchen backsplash. The prep, the adhesive, the grout, the sealing, all of it has to happen in the right order with the right materials.

Plumbing adjustments

Moving valves, rerouting supply lines, or relocating the drain requires permits and a licensed plumber in most cases. Skipping that step can cause problems when you go to sell your home.

Electrical work

If your project includes a new exhaust fan or updated lighting, that work needs to meet code.

A professional team brings the tools, the experience, and the accountability that a DIY job cannot replicate. With Gill Construction, you have our 5-year workmanship warranty on your side.

How Much Does Walk-In Shower Installation Cost in Bell County, TX?

Walk-in shower installation in Georgetown ranges from around $8,000 on the lower end to $70,000 for a more extensive project.

That is a wide range, reflecting the variation between a straightforward tub-to-shower conversion and a full bathroom renovation with custom tile work, high-end fixtures, and structural changes.

Your project will have its own specifics, so reach out, and we can give you a much more accurate number.

Five factors that shape the final cost:

Scope of the project: Converting an existing bathtub into a walk-in shower is less involved than a full bathroom overhaul. Add structural changes or layout shifts, and the budget climbs.
Materials and finishes: Marble tiles and custom glass enclosures cost more than standard ceramic and a basic panel setup. We will help you find options that match your aesthetic without exceeding your planned budget.
Plumbing complexity: Moving the drain or relocating supply lines adds time and cost. If your project requires significant plumbing work, we factor that in early in the planning stage so there are no surprises midway through.
Size of the shower area: A larger shower means more tile, sealing, materials, and labor. A compact tub-to-shower conversion and a custom walk-in, built from scratch, are very different jobs in scope.
Accessibility features: Adding grab bars, a built-in bench, a zero-threshold base, or other safety elements increases the project cost. These are often among the most worthwhile investments, especially for homeowners planning to stay in their homes for a long time.

Budget and Timeline, the Honest Version

We know construction work comes with two questions that homeowners ask almost immediately: how much will this cost, and how long will it take?

Budget

A walk-in shower installation is a real investment, but put it in context. If your project comes in at $15,000 and you use that shower every single day for the next fifteen years, you are looking at roughly $2.74 a day for a well-built, properly sealed shower that fits your family’s needs.

Timeline

We have heard the stories about contractors who disappear mid-job or stretch a two-week project into two months. That is not how we operate. Before work begins, we give you a realistic timeline, and we stick to it. We keep your space clean as we go, because we know you still have to live in that house.

We talk through your space, your needs, and your vision before anything starts.

Enjoy

You step into a finished shower that fits your home and your life, backed by our warranty.

What Maintenance Does A Walk-In Shower Need?

Walk-in showers are lower-maintenance than tubs, but they do need regular attention to stay in good shape over the years.

Weekly cleaning. Wipe down the walls and glass panels after use to prevent soap scum buildup. A squeegee takes about thirty seconds and saves a lot of scrubbing later on.
Grout and sealing. Grout should be resealed about once a year, sometimes more often depending on use and tile type. Properly sealed grout keeps moisture out of your walls, which is exactly what you want for the long-term health of the installation.
Drain maintenance. Check the drain regularly for buildup and clear it as needed. A slow drain is easy to fix early and a genuine nuisance if you let it go.
Checking caulk and seams. The sealing around your tiles, panels, and drain is worth inspecting every year or so. If you notice cracking or gaps, reseal before water gets behind the walls.
Exhaust fan. Make sure your fan is running properly and give it a clean every few months. Good ventilation is one of the simplest things you can do to extend the life of your shower.

The good news is that a properly installed shower, with quality materials and solid sealing from day one, makes all of this easier and less frequent than you might expect.

FAQs About Walk-In Shower Installation in Georgetown, TX

How long does a walk-in shower installation take?

Most walk-in shower installations take between five and ten business days, depending on the scope of the project. A basic tub-to-shower conversion lands on the shorter end, while a full custom build lands on the longer end. We give you a realistic timeline before work begins, and we stick to it.

Do I need a permit for walk-in shower installation in Georgetown, TX?

It depends on the scope of the work. If your project involves moving plumbing, relocating the drain, or any electrical work, like a new exhaust fan, permits are likely required. We handle the permit process as part of the job, so you do not have to figure that out on your own.

Can I convert my existing bathtub into a walk-in shower?

Absolutely, and it’s one of the most common projects we do. The existing bathtub becomes the shower area, which keeps plumbing changes to a minimum and helps control costs. We handle the demolition, waterproofing, tile installation, and fixture setup from start to finish.

What design options do I have for my walk-in shower?

Quite a few. From tile choices to glass enclosures or open entry, the list is longer than most people expect. We walk you through options that fit your bathroom layout, your budget, and your household’s actual use of the space.
