Thinking about replacing your tub or upgrading your current shower to a walk-in design? You're not alone walk-in showers are one of the most requested bathroom remodeling upgrades among Orlando homeowners in 2026. But before you start picking tile and fixtures, it helps to understand what you're actually going to pay.

Royal Lyon Construction has completed walk-in shower installations across Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Longwood, and Central Florida. Here's our honest breakdown of what walk-in showers cost in the Orlando market today.

Walk-In Shower Cost in Orlando FL 2026 Overview

Walk-in shower cost in Orlando Fl typically ranges from $5,000 to $20,000+, depending on the size, materials, and complexity of the project. Most Orlando homeowners doing a mid-range custom tile walk-in shower spend between $8,000 and $14,000 for a complete installation.

Project Type	Typical Cost Range	Timeline

What Factors Affect Walk-In Shower Cost in Orlando?

1. Size of the Shower

Standard walk-in showers run 36x36 inches to 36x48 inches. Larger showers — 60 inches wide or custom footprints — require more materials and labor, which increases cost. A compact alcove shower will cost less than a large curbless design that modifies the subfloor and drainage.

2. Tile and Wall Materials

Material selection is one of the biggest cost drivers. Here's what to expect in the Orlando market:

• Ceramic or porcelain tile — most affordable, durable in Florida's humidity, $3–$8 per sq ft

• Large-format tile — popular for modern Orlando bathrooms, slightly higher labor cost

• Natural stone (marble, travertine) — premium option, $15–$30+ per sq ft installed

• Acrylic or fiberglass panels — lowest cost, faster installation, less customization

For Orlando's subtropical climate, porcelain and ceramic tile remain the best performers — moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and long-lasting.

3. Glass Enclosure Type

Frameless glass enclosures are the most requested style in Orlando master bathrooms. Expect to pay $800–$2,500 for the glass door alone, depending on size and style. Semi-frameless and framed options cost less but offer fewer design options.

4. Plumbing and Drain Location

If your new walk-in shower stays in the same footprint as your existing tub or shower, plumbing costs are minimal. Moving the drain or supply lines adds $500–$2,000+ to the project depending on access and existing conditions.

5. Curbless vs. Curbed Design

Curbless (zero-threshold) showers require subfloor modification to create proper drainage slope this adds labor and waterproofing cost but results in a cleaner, more accessible design. They're increasingly popular in Orlando for aging-in-place renovations and luxury master bathrooms.

6. Permits and Inspections

Most walk-in shower installations in Orlando require permits, especially when work involves plumbing modifications or structural changes. Royal Lyon Construction (CBC1269087) handles all permit applications and inspections across Orange County, Seminole County, and surrounding municipalities as part of our service.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Orlando Is It Worth It?

One of the most popular projects Royal Lyon Construction completes in Orlando is converting an existing bathtub to a walk-in shower. This is especially common in master bathrooms where the tub is rarely used.

A tub-to-shower conversion in Orlando typically costs $6,000 – $12,000 depending on the shower size and materials. The process involves removing the existing tub, updating the drain and plumbing, installing waterproofing, tiling the walls and floor, and installing the glass enclosure.

The ROI is strong walk-in showers can return 55%–70% of investment at resale in the Orlando market, particularly in homes where the tub is being retained in another bathroom.
