The short answer
How much does it cost to turn a tub into a walk-in shower in Placentia, and how long does it take?
Tub-to-shower conversions in Placentia start at $10,000 and the work often finishes in a day once materials are on site. We are based in Placentia, so we come to your house 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 September 2026 we finished a Placentia tub-to-shower conversion: a raised garden tub came out and a low-threshold walk-in shower went in under the same window. The before and after photo above is from that job.
Placentia at a glance
Placentia homes and their bathrooms.
Most Placentia homes, about 50%, were built in the 1960s and 1970s. If your bathroom still has its original tub, we can replace it with a walk-in shower, often in a day.
Placentia voted to incorporate on 12/02/1926, and for many years it was the smallest city in Orange County. Its growth started with citrus packing houses along the Santa Fe line in 1910.
What that means for you: if your Placentia 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.

Price
What changes the price of a Placentia 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 →
