Converting an unused tub or a dated step-in shower into a spacious walk-in shower is one of the highest-impact, best-value bathroom upgrades in Florence — and given the town's large retiree population, especially in the Del Webb community at Anthem at Merrill Ranch, it is one of our most-requested projects. We remove the old tub or shower, rebuild the space as a large walk-in or curbless shower, and waterproof it correctly so it lasts for decades. The parts that matter most are the ones you never see: the waterproof membrane, the slope to the drain, and the substrate. We never cut those corners, whether we are working in a newer Merrill Ranch home or a historic downtown house with older plumbing behind the walls.
Converting an unused tub or a dated step-in shower into a spacious walk-in shower is one of the highest-impact, best-value bathroom upgrades in Arizona — and with our aging population and love of low-maintenance living, it's one of the most requested projects we do. We remove the old tub or shower, rebuild the space as a large walk-in or curbless shower, and — most importantly — waterproof it correctly so it lasts for decades.
The difference between a shower that lasts and one that leaks in a few years is entirely in the parts you can't see: the waterproof membrane, the slope to the drain, and the substrate. We never cut those corners. From frameless glass and porcelain slab walls to built-in benches, niches, and grab-bar-ready framing, we build walk-in showers that look incredible and function beautifully for years.
We proudly serve Florence neighborhoods including Anthem at Merrill Ranch, Magic Ranch, Arizona Farms, Downtown Florence. From your first call to the final walkthrough, you get transparent fixed pricing, full permit handling, and workmanship we stand behind.

Walk-In Shower Conversions in Florence: What Local Homeowners Should Know
In Anthem at Merrill Ranch, walk-in shower conversions are driven by aging in place. The community includes a large 55-plus section, and converting a rarely-used garden tub into a curbless, barrier-free walk-in shower is one of the smartest moves a homeowner there can make — safer, easier to maintain, and more attractive at resale. We pair the curbless shower with a built-in bench, grab bars on properly reinforced blocking, slip-resistant surfaces, and frameless glass, building it to look modern and high-end rather than clinical. Because Merrill Ranch homes are newer, the plumbing and structure are predictable, which keeps the conversion efficient and the budget firm.
In historic downtown Florence, the same conversion comes with older-home realities. Territorial-era and adobe homes often have aging supply and drain lines behind tight, older bathroom walls, and removing a tub can reveal plumbing or past water damage that should be addressed while everything is open. We plan for that, price any correction transparently, and rebuild with correct waterproofing and slope so the new shower lasts. On rural lots, we also account for septic considerations when drain work is involved. Across all of Florence — where remodeling costs generally sit at or below the East Valley average — a tub-to-walk-in-shower conversion typically runs $8,000–$20,000 depending on size, tile and glass, fixtures, and whether plumbing is relocated, and we handle the Town of Florence permit throughout.
Walk-In Shower Conversions Costs in Florence
Remodeling costs in Florence generally sit at or a little below the broader East Valley average, which is part of the town's appeal. As planning ranges, a mid-range kitchen remodel typically runs $30,000–$60,000, a full bathroom remodel $18,000–$35,000, and a walk-in shower conversion $8,000–$20,000. Room additions generally start in the tens of thousands and rise with square footage, while a detached casita or ADU commonly runs $150,000–$300,000+ depending on size, finishes, and site conditions.
Project Spotlight: A curbless conversion in the Del Webb homes at Merrill Ranch
A retired couple in the 55-plus section of Anthem at Merrill Ranch never used their deep garden tub and worried about stepping over it. We removed the tub and built a large curbless walk-in shower with a linear drain and precise slope, a built-in bench, grab bars on reinforced blocking, a handheld fixture, and slip-resistant porcelain — finished with frameless glass so it still felt open and high-end. Proper waterproofing went in behind every surface. They gained a safer, barrier-free shower that looks like a spa upgrade, not a medical one — the conversion we do most often in Florence.
Permits & HOAs for Walk-In Shower Conversions in Florence
Florence's larger and rural lots bring a few added considerations. Properties outside the reach of municipal sewer often rely on septic systems, so an addition, casita, or ADU that adds bathrooms or bedrooms may involve septic capacity, site work, and additional review — sometimes at the Pinal County level as well as the Town of Florence. We assess your lot early, factor any septic and site-work realities into the scope, and fold it all into a single fixed-price quote so a larger rural project does not come with surprises.

Florence Neighborhoods We Serve
We serve homeowners across all of Florence, from the historic, character-rich streets of Downtown Florence to the newer Del Webb homes of Anthem at Merrill Ranch, the established neighborhood of Magic Ranch, and the larger semi-rural lots out toward Arizona Farms. Because Florence spans everything from century-old adobes to brand-new master-planned homes and rural acreage, we adjust our approach, finishes, and site planning to fit each property — and we handle permits through the Town of Florence and Pinal County across ZIP code 85132, so wherever you are in town, we already understand the local requirements.
Why Florence Homeowners Choose Gilbert GC
Florence's split personality — historic downtown on one side, a fast-growing Del Webb community and rural lots on the other — is exactly why it pays to hire a general contractor comfortable across all of it. A crew that only knows new builds can be out of its depth in a century-old adobe, and a crew that only does quick cosmetic work can miss what a larger rural project truly requires. We work across the full range of Florence homes and know how to get the best result from each.
