What decides your price
Two Florence tub-to-shower conversions rarely cost the same.
- Tile or acrylic walls
- The glass: a framed door, a frameless door or a fixed panel
- Keeping the drain where it is or moving it
- The size of the tub alcove
- A seat, a niche, or backing for grab bars
At the free visit we measure, go through each of these with you, and the written price says what you chose.
Florence homes
What a tub-to-shower conversion in Florence usually involves.
Florence holds two very different kinds of housing: the Del Webb homes of Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch, built from 2006 on along Hunt Highway, and the adobe and brick houses of one of Arizona's oldest towns.
Curbed showers in Del Webb plans
Sun City Anthem homes were designed for retirees, yet many showers still have a curb and a glass door with a narrow opening. As owners age, that curb becomes the problem. Rebuilding the shower floor for a low or curbless entry, with a bench and a handheld sprayer, is the most common request in these homes.
Blocking, seats and toilet height
Grab-bar backing and comfort-height toilets were options, not standard, in many production homes of this period. If they were not chosen at purchase, the walls have nothing solid behind the tile. A remodel adds wood blocking at every useful height, a taller toilet and a shower seat.
Where we work in Florence
- Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch Del Webb's 55+ community, building since 2006 and planned for about 3,800 homes.
- Anthem Parkside The all-ages side of Anthem at Merrill Ranch, with production homes from the mid-2000s on and its own association and architectural review.
- Florence Historic District The original townsite near Main Street, with adobe and brick homes from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s.
The Town of Florence issues permits. Both Anthem at Merrill Ranch and the historic townsite are inside the Town of Florence, so building permits come from the town's Community Development and Building Safety staff, not from Pinal County, even though the county offices are also in Florence.

Florence questions
Straight answers.
What does a tub-to-shower conversion cost in Florence?
Usually $8K–$17K in Florence. The size of the room, the tile, the glass and any plumbing that moves make the difference. After a free in-home visit you get one fixed price in writing within 48 hours, with the warranty on all labor.
How long does it take?
Plan on 3–5 days on site. You get the schedule in writing with the price, before work starts.
My Sun City Anthem home already has a walk-in shower. Can it be made safer?
Yes. The usual changes are removing or lowering the curb, widening the entry, adding a built-in or fold-down seat, a handheld sprayer on a slide bar and grab bars on solid backing. Slip-resistant floor tile and a pressure-balancing valve help as well. Often the shower footprint stays the same and only the floor and walls are rebuilt.
Do I need the Design Review Committee for a bathroom remodel in Sun City Anthem?
Not for interior work alone. The community's guidelines require written approval for exterior alterations. A bathroom project crosses that line when it adds or changes something visible outside, such as a window, skylight, solar tube or a new roof or wall vent. Approval can take several weeks, so it is best requested early.
Will a shower fit where the tub was?
Yes. A standard tub alcove is about five feet long and around two and a half feet deep, which is a workable shower size. The shower can sometimes be made deeper by building the curb slightly into the room, if the toilet or vanity is not in the way. Ceiling height and the window position are checked during the same visit.
Does the floor outside the shower have to be replaced?
Not necessarily. A tub apron sits on the subfloor or slab, so removing it exposes a bare strip a few inches wide. If spare tile exists or the curb covers that strip, the existing floor stays. When the old tile is discontinued, the options are a contrasting border, a threshold piece, or new flooring for the room.
