What Drives Walk-In Shower Cost?

1. Size

The single biggest cost driver. A 3×4 ft shower uses roughly 40 sq ft of tile (walls and floor). A 5×6 ft luxury shower uses over 100 sq ft. Tile, glass, and labor all scale with size.

2. Tile Selection

Does a Walk-In Shower Require a Permit?

In most Rockland County municipalities, a permit is required if:

• The drain is being relocated
• New supply lines are added (body sprays, second showerhead)
• Any structural changes are made

Replacing like-for-like in the same footprint without plumbing changes typically does not require a permit. Rockland Design Factory files all permit applications as the licensed contractor of record.

What Affects Timeline?

Standard installation: 5–8 business days from demo to glass installation.

Custom or larger showers: 8–12 days.

The limiting factor is tile work — large-format tile requires precise setting, and grout must cure before glass installation.

Is a Walk-In Shower Worth It in Rockland County?

Yes — for nearly every Rockland County home with at least two bathrooms. Converting an unused tub to a walk-in shower:

• Adds more daily usable space
• Increases resale appeal (buyers prefer showers in secondary baths)
• Reduces cleaning time significantly

Final price is set by a written estimate after a consultation.

For primary bathrooms, we typically recommend keeping a tub in at least one bathroom if children are present or future resale to families is a priority.
