Six Showers. Six Honest Prices.
Every starting price is the whole job, installed and working — not a base number that grows once you pick what you actually need. Order the shower exactly as priced and you are done. The few things that add cost are named with their prices on the price page before you decide; your picture in Step 1 shows the shower with every option, and you choose in Step 2.
Every one of the six includes
- The old tub out and hauled away, and the new base and walls in — set, sealed and plumbed as a shower — in a standard colorway you choose, with the floor protected on the way in and the room cleaned on the way out
- A shower you can step into as priced: the Acrylic and Castico packages include their glass door; on the other four a curtain and rod are standard, and the glass door is the one upgrade
- Delta scald-safe valve and shower head included — the valve holds your water temperature steady when a tap runs somewhere else in the house
- Grab bars, a fold-down seat, a hand sprayer on a magnetic dock and a diverter — the small lever that sends the water to the hand sprayer instead of the shower head — are priced options you add in Step 2, and free through September 30, 2026 on a deposit placed by that date
- Lifetime leak-free guarantee: if the pan or walls we install ever leak, we fix it. Five years on workmanship, finish and adjustment items. We cover our installation of the valve and shower head; the maker warrants the product itself — Delta for the valve, and for the head whichever maker’s you pick — what it covers
Order the shower exactly as priced and you are done. Anything that adds cost — a glass door on those four, a premium colorway on two lines, the options above — is named with its price on the price page before you decide. Everything the price covers, in one list →
Stone-look walls with no grout line to scrub

Castico solid composite stone
Real stone composite — minerals and resin, no plastic and no acrylic — in half-inch panels with no grout line anywhere to scrub. The marble and travertine patterns run through the material rather than being printed on top, so a scratch is the same color underneath.
- Twelve wall colors and five pan colors, all included at the same price — with a matching door, a recessed niche and a matching drain
- Groutless: the panels meet edge to edge, so there is no grout line to scrub, seal or watch go gray
- Castico carries its own limited lifetime warranty on the product, separate from our guarantee on the work

Transolid solid-surface walls
Stone-look solid-surface panels — the color goes all the way through — set by hand on a Bestbath pan with no step to climb over. Eighteen colorways across three Transolid lines: Expressions in White or Grey at this price, every other colorway priced on screen as you pick it, and the SaraMar line from $12,676. Carries Transolid’s own 10-year warranty on the walls, which is separate from our guarantee on the work.
- A glass door is the one upgrade over the standard curtain and rod

Trinity stone-look walls
The look of stone at a lighter weight — slim aluminum panels with the stone pattern printed on at high resolution and mirrored down the middle, so the veining runs book-matched across the wall. Groutless, on a Bestbath pan with no step to climb over. The panels carry the maker’s own 10-year residential warranty, which is separate from our guarantee on the work.
- Thirteen colorways in glossy, honed and textured finishes — the price follows the size of the shower, and every color costs the same except the Sabana colors and any honed or textured finish, which add a little
- Groutless: the panels meet edge to edge, so there is no grout line to scrub, seal or watch go gray
- A glass door is the one upgrade over the standard curtain and rod
Simpler walls at a lower price — same crew, same guarantee
Bestbath base + wall kit
Thick reinforced fiberglass with a subway-tile look, on a one-piece pan you can walk or roll straight into. The pan carries Bestbath’s own 30-year limited warranty, which is separate from our guarantee on the work.
- A glass door is the one upgrade over the standard curtain and rod
Palisade glue-up tile walls
A real tile look at a glue-up price — vinyl wall tiles in a stone-look pattern, glued straight over the wall that is already there and finished with matching edge trim, on a Bestbath pan with no step to climb over. Eleven colorways at one price, and the tile carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty, which is separate from our guarantee on the work.
- Eleven colorways, all the same price — and the tile cuts cleanly around a window
- A glass door is the one upgrade over the standard curtain and rod
Acrylic — walls, door and base
A complete acrylic shower in one kit — glossy walls, a low step-in pan and a semi-frameless sliding glass door, all made to fit each other. The easiest shower there is to keep clean.
- The sliding glass door is in the kit — already in this price, not an upgrade
- The manufacturer’s own warranty on the products, separate from our guarantee on the work
These six are a starting point for pricing, not the whole catalog — most bases and walls mix and match, and we design with thousands of color and material combinations, so the possibilities really are endless. We bring the sample sets with us. Every tub we set is fully mortar-bedded to the floor, so the base is solid underfoot and never flexes or creaks when you step in. Full bathroom remodels start at $15,679 installed — start the same way and tell us what else you'd like in Step 3.
Castico is the top of our package ladder — but it is not the ceiling. We also hand-build full custom tile showers, with a tile pan and tile walls in any size or shape, and custom tile wet rooms, where the whole bathroom is finished as one open shower. Bring it up at your free in-home consultation and we will design it with you.
The same team also handles tile & flooring, walk-in showers & home accessibility upgrades, vanities & lighting, and basements & whole-room projects.
So You Can Stay in Your Own Home, in Your Own Bathroom
A standard tub wall is about fifteen inches high, and stepping over it every day is a real obstacle — especially for anyone with balance or mobility concerns. Taking that wall out is the most requested bathroom upgrade we are asked for. It is also what most people mean by aging in place — an accessible bathroom you can go on using, in the home you already own.
Nothing to climb over
Every shower on this page starts with a low step-in pan, and four of the six sit on a one-piece pan you can walk or roll straight into with no step at all.
Something to hold and somewhere to sit
Grab bars, a fold-down seat and a hand sprayer on a magnetic dock you can reach sitting down are options on every shower here. You add the ones you want in Step 2 and see what each one costs before anyone visits.
Water that can't scald you
A Delta scald-safe valve is included in every package, not an upgrade. It holds the temperature steady when a tap runs elsewhere in the house.
Planning further ahead — a curbless entry a walker or a wheelchair can get through, bars anchored into the framing rather than hung on drywall, a seat that folds away when nobody needs it? See how we build accessible and aging-in-place bathrooms.
Three Steps. About Three Minutes.
Picture it
Pick the shower you would love, then take one photo of your bathroom — we show you that shower in it, in about a minute.
Price it
Keep or remove the options and watch the price change — every price is the full installed price.
Send it
Send it to us. Within 24 hours you get a guaranteed price proposal in writing — guaranteed as long as your photos show the whole bathroom and nothing that could add work was left out. A weekend request comes the next business day. Sending it also opens your customer account, so you can track the job and see your paperwork in one place.
Our Promise — In Writing, Before You Pay a Dollar
Remodeling horror stories come down to the same things: the price moved, the schedule slipped, and nobody called back. Here is what we commit to instead.
Five full years of workmanship coverage — and we call you
Five times the one-year warranty most remodelers offer — and finish and adjustment items, the things that settle in with use like caulk, grout shrinkage, paint touch-up and door and hardware adjustment, carry the same five years rather than the usual one. And we don't wait for you to find a problem: our office checks in to make sure your bathroom is still right long after the invoice is paid. Read what the guarantee covers, in plain English →
The price you approve is the price you pay
Your written price proposal lists everything — materials and touch-ups — before we touch anything. That price is guaranteed. What can move it is what nobody can see until the wall is open — damaged joists or studs, a waste stack that has to be moved, asbestos or mold. Not rot under the old tub: soft drywall in there is part of the job, and if the subfloor directly under the tub or shower we remove is damaged, we replace it, however much of it there is, at no additional charge and without a change order — the agreement you sign says so. If we do find one of the others, we stop, show you what it costs, and you approve it in writing before we do the work. We never proceed and bill you later, and we don't pad the estimate to cover surprises that may never turn up. Nothing changes without your sign-off. No hourly meter, no "while we were in there" invoices.
You will know who to ask — and you will still have a house
One named person is responsible for your project: day-to-day questions go to the crew lead on site, and anything about money, schedule or scope goes to the office in writing, so it never depends on somebody remembering. While the work runs we put taped rigid floor protection down the whole path — not a drop cloth — a zippered dust-barrier wall at the bathroom door, HEPA air scrubbers going during demolition and tile work, covers over the registers so dust stays out of your ductwork, and a tidy site every night. The room gets at least two full professional cleanings before we hand it back.
"The Open Shower Co. replaced our master bathtub with this composite-stone walk-in shower and it looks fantastic. They also did the herring bone tile which is amazing! Done on time, on budget, and the crew was great to work with. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend both the composite-stone product and this company!"
