Tub to Shower Conversions for Boise homes
Boise's housing range is unusually wide for one city, and tub-to-shower conversions show up at both ends of it. In the North End's early-1900s Craftsman bungalows, the candidate is almost always an original cast-iron tub crammed into the home's single bathroom, where a curtained tub is the only place to bathe. Out in Southeast Boise and Harris Ranch, the request is different: owners want a builder-grade shower-tub combo opened into a real walk-in shower that matches the rest of a newer house. On the Bench, mid-century baths often sit somewhere between the two, with a tired alcove tub that no one uses anymore.

What affects cost in Boise
Honest pricing, no guesswork
Cost on a North End or Bench conversion is driven by what comes out from behind a decades-old surround — galvanized supply lines, an undersized drain, or rot in the subfloor under a heavy cast-iron tub all add scope. A swap in a 2000s Southeast Boise or Harris Ranch subdivision is usually cleaner, with modern plumbing already in place and the spend concentrated in tile, glass, and fixtures.

Boise questions, answered
Frequently asked
- Our North End bungalow has only one bathroom — can we still convert the tub to a shower?
- Yes, and it is one of the most common conversions we see in older Boise neighborhoods. The main considerations are sequencing the work so you're without the bathroom for as short a time as possible, and deciding whether your household ever truly needs a tub; if it doesn't, reclaiming that footprint for a roomier shower usually makes a small single bath feel far more usable.
- Will removing the only tub hurt resale value in Boise?
- In a single-bath North End or Bench home it can matter to some buyers, so it's worth weighing, but a well-built walk-in shower is a strong selling point in its own right. The honest answer depends on your floor plan and how long you plan to stay; we'll talk through whether keeping a tub elsewhere in the house makes sense before anything is removed.
