Walk-In Shower Installation in Denver

A walk-in or curbless shower changes how a bathroom looks, feels, and works, and you don't have to gut the whole room to get one. Our wet-area-only renovation rebuilds just the tub or shower zone while your vanity, toilet, and flooring stay untouched, starting at $12,200 with most projects finished in 3–4 days. We replace the tub or shower base, install a grout-free Sentrel composite wall system with a lifetime warranty, fit new fixtures and trim, and handle every plumbing connection. It's the sweet spot for Denver-area homeowners whose bathrooms function fine but whose wet area is dated, stained, or hard to step into, a high-impact upgrade without full-remodel pricing or a two-week construction zone in the middle of the house.

Walk-in shower installation in a Denver bathroom with a new composite wall surround

What's included

  • Walk-in or curbless shower base (or tub) replacement
  • Sentrel grout-free composite wall surround system, lifetime warranty
  • New fixtures & trim from Kohler, Delta, or Moen
  • All plumbing connections & valve work
  • Waterproofing & professional sealing
  • Vanity, toilet & flooring left untouched
  • Full cleanup & haul-away of old materials

How it works

  1. Wet-area evaluation

    Free in-home visit: we inspect the tub or shower zone, the valve, drain, and surrounding floor, and confirm the rest of the room can stay as-is. In pre-1978 homes we plan for lead-safe demolition.

  2. Design the shower

    Pick your base style, low-threshold or fully curbless. Sentrel wall pattern, fixture finish, and options like a bench or grab bars. Your fixed, itemized quote follows within 24–48 hours.

  3. Three-to-four-day rebuild

    We protect the untouched parts of the bathroom, remove the old wet area, rebuild the waterproofing, set the base and walls, and complete the plumbing. The work zone stays sealed and is cleaned daily.

  4. Walkthrough & warranty

    Test the shower together, review the wipe-down care routine, and receive your documentation: a lifetime Sentrel product warranty and our 1-year labor warranty.

What it costs

from $12,200 3–4 days

Every estimate is free, fixed, and itemized before we start. The final price depends on your space and selections, here is what affects it most:

  • Base type, a fully curbless entry requires floor modification and careful slope work; low-threshold pans cost less
  • Tub vs. shower, converting the wet area from tub to shower vs. replacing like-for-like changes plumbing scope
  • Wall system coverage, full-height Sentrel panels vs. partial height, and the pattern tier you choose
  • Plumbing condition, drain relocation or replacing corroded galvanized lines common in older Denver homes
  • Fixture tier & valve type, standard pressure-balancing vs. thermostatic valves and premium finishes
  • Comfort options, built-in bench, grab bar blocking, niches, and shelving added during the build

Walk-In Shower Installation in Denver · FAQ

How much does walk-in shower installation cost in Denver?

Our wet-area-only renovation, which covers most walk-in and curbless shower installations, starts at $12,200 and typically takes 3–4 days. That covers the new base, the Sentrel composite wall system with a lifetime warranty, new fixtures and trim, and all plumbing connections, while your vanity, toilet, and floor stay put. Fully curbless designs, premium fixtures, or drain repairs in older homes adjust the price, all itemized in your fixed quote.

What's the difference between low-threshold and curbless?

A low-threshold shower has a small lip, typically 2–4 inches, to step over, and installs faster because the floor stays mostly as-is. A curbless (zero-entry) shower has no lip at all; the bathroom floor slopes gently into the drain. Curbless is the gold standard for accessibility and looks seamless, but it requires modifying the floor structure, which adds labor. Both options fit the same 3–4 day timeline.

Can you install a walk-in shower without remodeling the whole bathroom?

Yes, that's exactly what this package is. If your vanity, toilet, and flooring are in good shape, there's no reason to pay to replace them. We contain demolition to the wet area, protect everything else, and match the new surround to your existing room. It typically costs $7,000+ less than a complete remodel and finishes in 3–4 days instead of up to two weeks.

Do curbless showers work in Denver's older ranch homes?

Usually, yes. Most 1950s–70s ranch homes in Aurora, Lakewood, and Arvada have wood-framed floors with enough joist depth to create the recessed slope a curbless shower needs. Basement-level bathrooms on slab need a different approach, either a raised bathroom floor or a low-threshold base instead. We assess your floor structure during the free estimate and tell you honestly what's feasible.

How do I keep the new shower clean with Colorado's hard water?

Far more easily than tile. Denver's hard water leaves mineral scale that embeds in grout and caulk, but Sentrel panels are non-porous with no grout lines, deposits wipe off with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. A quick squeegee after showering keeps glass doors clear. There's no grout sealing schedule, ever, and the panels carry a lifetime warranty.
