In North Jersey, a real tub-to-shower conversion runs $12,000–$25,000. One-day wrap systems advertise less — then peel, mold, and leak. Here's the honest breakdown.

Where the money goes

$2K–$4K: tub-out, new valve, drain work (the plumbing that decides everything). $4K–$9K: waterproofing + tile or premium panels. $1.5K–$5K: glass. $2K–$4K: everything else — niches, bench, permits, haul-away.

The timeline

Day 1: tub out. Days 2–3: plumbing + waterproofing. Days 4–7: tile. Days 8–10: glass + finish. Most of our conversions run 5–10 working days, with the finish date in your contract.

Resale note: keep at least one tub in the house and a conversion typically HELPS value — bath remodels recoup roughly 74% at resale (Cost vs Value Report).

The 3 quotes you'll get

The franchise wrap-over ($15K–$30K, plastic over your old problems). The handyman special ($6K–$9K, no permit, no waterproofing). And a real rebuild by licensed plumbers — ours: fixed price, permitted, 5-Year Watertight Guarantee.
