Bathroom Conversion
That tub collecting dust is standing between you and a shower you'd actually want to use every morning.
What Makes Our Bathroom Conversions Different

A bathroom conversion is one of those projects that changes daily life in a quiet, everyday way. A walk-in shower that fits your routine. A bathroom floor that doesn’t feel like an icebox in January. A space that genuinely feels like it was built for the people living in it now.

Your Bathroom Conversion Options
Not every bathroom calls for the same approach. Here are the most common conversions we handle:
Here are five key factors that can influence your investment:
- Tub to Shower: Remove the existing tub and install a walk-in shower with modern shower heads, a glass door, and tile or stone shower walls. The most popular conversion by far.
- Shower Expansion: Reclaim square footage from an adjacent closet or wall to create a noticeably more spacious shower.
- Accessible Shower Conversion: Low or zero-threshold entry, grab bars, and a built-in seat. A smart upgrade for aging-in-place or families with varying mobility needs.
- Full Bathroom Renovation: New shower, floating vanities, heated flooring, and new tile throughout.
- Wet Room Conversion: A fully waterproofed, open-concept bathroom where the shower space flows naturally through the room.
- Wet Room Conversion: A fully waterproofed, open-concept bathroom where the shower space flows naturally through the room.

Bobby and his team were fantastic. He made the process smooth and simple; from the initial estimate to completion of the job.
Though the job was a small one, his team’s dedication to making sure it was done well was apparent in every communication.
Everything was completed beautifully and I will gladly refer him to anyone I know who needs to get a home improvement project or repair done.

Brucksch and Sons were everything we wanted and more than we expected! They performed a complete replacement of our old bathroom from the sub-floor through the attic. Juan and Hector are a great team and performed high quality work!
Bobby communicated with us very well before, during and after completing the project. We are so pleased with our new bathroom and highly recommend Brucksch and Sons. We look forward to working with them again.
How Much Does a Bathroom Conversion Cost in Anne Arundel County?
Bathroom conversions at Brucksch & Sons typically range from $10,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on what your project involves.
These figures are based on past project estimates, so your actual cost will differ. The best way to get a real number is to contact us with your specifics so we can give you an accurate quote.
Five factors that affect where your project lands in that range:
- Scope of the Conversion: A straightforward tub to shower conversion costs considerably less than a full bathroom renovation with new plumbing, heated flooring, and custom tilework. The bigger the change, the more the project will cost.
- Materials and Finishes: Natural stone, marble, and travertine run higher than standard porcelain tile, but they also hold up beautifully for decades and look significantly better over time.
- Plumbing Work: If your existing plumbing is in good shape and we're not relocating anything, that keeps costs down. If the project requires moving drain lines or installing a new shower system, that work gets factored in.
- Bathroom Size and Layout: Larger spaces need more materials and more labor. Reconfiguring the layout, like combining two smaller areas into one more spacious bathroom, adds complexity to the job.
- Accessibility Features: Adding grab bars, a built-in seat, or a barrier-free shower entry is worth every dollar, especially for families planning for the long term. These upgrades do add to the final cost, but they make a big difference in how usable and safe the space actually is.

Best Bathroom Materials and Finishes
The materials you choose are what you’ll live with every day. Here’s an honest breakdown of what we work with most and what each brings to a bathroom conversion.
- Tile Porcelain and ceramic are workhorses. Durable, affordable, and available in hundreds of styles.
- Natural Stone Marble, travertine, and natural stone have a quality that manufactured tile doesn't replicate. For homeowners who want something that genuinely looks luxurious, the investment holds up.
- Glass A frameless glass door or panel opens up the shower visually and lets natural light move through the room.
- Heated Flooring It's one of those upgrades that earns its place quickly, especially during the colder months.
- Floating Vanities Wall-mounted vanities free up floor space, make the bathroom easier to clean, and give the room a more modern, open feel.
- Shower Wall Options Acrylic panels are low-maintenance and watertight. Tile gives you more design choices, more personality, and a more custom result.
Budgets You Can Plan Around, Timelines That Hold
We understand construction work can feel unpredictable, and we take that seriously. Your timeline and budget aren’t afterthoughts for us; they’re part of the job from day one.
Budget
A bathroom conversion starting at $10,000 sounds like a significant expense until you spread it across the life of the project. If your new shower lasts 20 years, that’s under $1.50 a day for a bathroom that actually works for your life. Less than a coffee. The convenience, the comfort, the added value to your home, it adds up in ways that outlast the price tag.
Timeline
Most of our conversions take between two and six weeks. We show up on time, we keep your space clean throughout the job, and we hit our deadlines. Construction doesn’t have to mean chaos, and in our experience, it rarely does when the planning is done right.

Maintenance Tips After Your Bathroom Conversion
A well-done conversion should run clean for years. A little routine care keeps it looking the way it did on day one.
- Seal grout once a year. Grout is porous and stains easily. Annual sealing prevents discoloration and stops moisture from working its way in.
- Squeegee glass doors after every shower. It takes ten seconds and keeps water spots and soap buildup from becoming a recurring project.
- Run the exhaust fan during and after each shower. Proper ventilation is the simplest thing you can do to prevent mold on shower walls and tile.
- Check caulking twice a year. Caulk around the shower base can crack over time. Catching it early prevents water from reaching your subfloor.
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on natural stone. Marble and travertine are sensitive to acidic products. The wrong cleaner can etch the surface over time. Keep it simple.
- Keep heated flooring controls dry. Radiant heat systems are built to last, but the thermostat should stay clean and dry. A quick wipe down goes a long way.

Common Questions About Bathroom Conversions in Anne Arundel County
Most conversions wrap up in two to six weeks. A straightforward swap-out with minimal plumbing changes takes less time than a full renovation involving heated flooring and custom stone tile. We give you a realistic timeline before any work begins, and we hold to it.
Moving plumbing or making structural changes typically requires a permit. We manage that process for you, including filings and inspections.
Usually not, and often the opposite is true. If you have another bathtub elsewhere in the house, converting a second bathroom to a walk-in shower tends to be viewed positively by buyers. If it’s your only tub, it’s a conversation worth having before you decide. We can help you think through what makes sense for your home.
Keeping the plumbing where it is and using acrylic wall panels with a prefab shower base significantly reduces the cost. If your goal is a clean, functional new shower without a full renovation budget, we can design a project around what you have.
