Recent bathtub to shower conversions in Toronto
Five recent installs from Toronto and the GTA, all finished in a single visit. Some customers added one or two stainless grab bars; others chose anti-slip treatment on the tub floor only. Every one of these cutouts is compatible with the optional removable door cap, so the tub can still be filled for a bath.
Condos and apartments in Toronto: how the visit works
Most of our Toronto work is in condos, apartments and multi-unit buildings, and the process is built around that.
- Weekday mornings for buildings. Condos, apartments and other multi-unit residences are booked on weekdays starting at 9 AM, never on holidays. Houses can also be booked on Sundays.
- No elevator booking, usually. Everything comes up in one trip on a small cart, and everything goes back down in one trip, including the cut section of the tub and any waste.
- Three to four hours, one visit. A cutout takes three to four hours; grab bars add one to three hours depending on how many and the wall surface. No plumbing changes and no tub removal.
- A walkthrough before anything starts. The installer shows the materials, including the door cap if it is part of the job, and confirms exactly where the cutout and any grab bars will go. If the tub is for a parent, we work with them directly on the positioning.
- Complete cleanup. No debris, no cuttings and no dust left behind. The bathroom is vacuumed before we leave.
- Use it the next day. Shower 24 hours after installation; the removable door cap can be used for bathing after 48 hours.
- Local offices. Oshawa, North York and Etobicoke, with our warehouse in the Don Mills area, so the team covering your part of the city is never far.
Send two photos of your tub, one from the doorway and one straight on, to 289-809-5379 and we will call you with your free price quote and available dates.
Bathtub to Shower Conversion FAQs — Toronto
How much does a bathtub to shower conversion cost in Toronto?
Full bathtub to shower renovations in Toronto run $8,000–$18,000. A Trenworks walk-in bathtub cutout is a fraction of that — starting at $299 for a DIY kit, with professional installation available. Final quote is based on tub size and door-cap options, confirmed after we review your free photo assessment.
How long does a bathtub to shower conversion take?
A professional Trenworks bathtub cutout installation takes about 3 hours from start to finish, including cleanup — same day. Traditional bathtub-to-shower renovations in Toronto typically take 7 to 12 business days of construction, with plumbing, tile, and glass work.
Is a bathtub cutout the same as a full bathtub to shower conversion?
They achieve the same goal — walking in instead of stepping over the tub wall — but the cutout method keeps your existing bathtub and cuts a low, step-in opening in the side. No plumbing changes, no tile work, no bathtub removal. It’s the affordable, minimally invasive alternative to a full renovation.
Do I need to remove my bathtub for the shower conversion?
No. That’s the whole point of the cutout method. Your existing bathtub stays exactly where it is. We cut a step-in opening in the side and seal it with a reinforced waterproof lip. Works with steel, fiberglass, acrylic, and cast iron tubs.
Can the bathtub to shower conversion be reversed?
Yes — with the optional Easy Removable Door, you can restore your bathtub to a full watertight tub in 2 seconds whenever you want to soak. This is popular with Toronto homeowners who want walk-in accessibility now but need to preserve full bathtub function for resale value.
Do you install grab bars with the bathtub to shower conversion?
Yes. Trenworks installs stainless steel safety grab bars, anti-slip treatments, extendable shower wands, and toilet safety rails as add-ons or as separate services. See our grab bar installation page for details and current pricing.
