Brea bathroom remodeling and tub-to-shower conversions
Shower and tub updates for Brea homes.
Free in-home visit, written price the same day, no salesperson, you meet the installer.
The short answer
How much does it cost to turn a tub into a shower in Brea, and how long does it take?
Tub-to-shower conversions in Brea start at $10,000 and the work often finishes in a day once materials are on site. Hidden rot can take longer. We come to your Brea home for a free estimate and give you the written price the same day.
We are New Bath Co, a bathroom remodeling company that does tub-to-shower conversions, tub replacements and California baths. We do the work ourselves, and you meet the installer at the estimate, not a salesperson. Call or text (657) 650-6111.
In August 2026 we did two Brea jobs: a tub-to-shower conversion and the replacement of an old, leaking tile shower. The photo above is from a Brea job that month.
Brea at a glance
Brea homes and their bathrooms.
Most Brea homes, about 59%, were built in the 1960s to 1980s. If your bathroom still has its original tub, we can replace it with a walk-in shower, often in a day.
Brea was incorporated on 02/23/1917. The 57 Freeway was completed in 1972 and the Brea Mall opened five years later, and much of the city’s housing went up in that era.
What that means for you: if your Brea bathroom still has its original tub, tile or shower pan, it has likely been in place a long time. Grout wears out, tile cracks and water can get behind the walls. A new acrylic or solid surface shower has no grout lines to scrub and goes in over a new base.

Tub replacement. If you want to keep a tub, we replace the old one with a new tub and new walls in the same space.
California bath. A larger update of the tub or shower area.
Wall options: Full Wall Acrylic Panel, Palisade Tile, laminate and synthetic stone, over an acrylic shower base or tub. See materials →
Price
What changes the price of a Brea bathroom job.
Tub-to-shower conversions and tub replacements start at $10,000. Your written price depends on:
- the size of the space and which wall material you pick;
- add-ons such as a niche or a hand shower;
- whether the plumbing or the drain has to move;
- what we find behind the old walls, such as hidden rot.
We measure on the visit and you get the full written price the same day, so there is no waiting for a call back. Read the tub-to-shower cost guide →
