Replacing a shower in Arkansas typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed. A standard acrylic shower in the same footprint sits near the low end, and stone look walls, glass doors and larger custom sizes move it up. The old shower comes out and the new base and grout free walls go in, usually within one to two days.

We are a local bath and shower installer and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
Cracked fiberglass, a leak that shows up on the ceiling below, grout that crumbles or a base that flexes are the usual signs. Patching buys time, but water behind the walls tends to spread. A replacement takes out the old shower down to the studs where needed and puts in a new base with grout free panels, typically in one to two days in Arkansas.
A shower replacement in Arkansas typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed. A standard acrylic replacement in the same footprint sits near the low end, and glass doors, upgraded fixtures, stone look or patterned walls and larger custom sizes move it up. A low step walk in shower typically runs $15,000 to $24,000.
Most shower replacements take one to two days. The old base and walls come out, any damage behind them is repaired, and the new base, panels and fixtures go in. Removing a mortar bed shower or fixing rotted framing can add time, and that is written into the price.
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs. The old walls and mortar bed come out, the framing is checked, and custom made acrylic panels with no grout lines go up over a new base. A shower replacement typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed and takes one to two days.
Water damage behind the walls is repaired before the new shower goes in, because new panels over wet or rotted framing will not last. The repair is priced separately once the old walls are open, and it can move a job toward the upper end of the typical $10,000 to $18,000 range. The consultant looks for signs of it during the free visit.
No, but keeping the same footprint is the least expensive route, toward the low end of the typical $10,000 to $18,000 range. A larger or custom size shower sits toward the top because it needs a bigger base, more wall panels and often floor work.
Acrylic panels clean with a soft cloth and a mild, non abrasive cleaner, and there is no grout to seal or scrub. The panels carry Microban antimicrobial protection, which helps resist mold and mildew on the surface. A shower replacement typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed.
Showers from Bath Planet of Arkansas carry the Bath Planet limited lifetime warranty on the acrylic base and wall panels, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation, subject to the written terms. Typical installed prices run $10,000 to $18,000, and installs usually take one to two days.
Yes, installers normally include the plumbing tied to the tub or shower swap, such as reconnecting the drain and supply lines and setting the valve and fixtures, while new electrical circuits are usually scoped as a separate item. Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table lists a shower replacement or tub to shower conversion at $10,000 to $18,000 and a walk in tub at $14,000 to $20,000. A job that keeps the existing drain location is where most installs finish in as little as one day, according to the published timeline. Moving the drain or valve, or adding a new electrical circuit, pushes a project toward the top of the range and adds days. The National Electrical Code requires a 20 amp circuit with GFCI protection for bathroom receptacles, so older wiring can add work. Confirm that plumbing and electrical appear as separate lines in the written scope, which you can do during a free in home design consultation with Bath Planet of Arkansas.
Clean acrylic shower walls and tubs about once a week with a cleaner the Bath Planet care page recommends, such as Formula 409, Microban 24 Hour, or white vinegar and hot water, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe or squeegee the surface after each shower so soap film and hard water spots do not build up. The same page lists 13 products not to use, including Dawn dish soap, ammonia, acetone, Soft Scrub, Lysol disinfectant cleaner and scouring pads, and warns they can cause a dull surface and chemical cracks and void the product warranty. For disinfecting it recommends 1/2 cup of bleach per gallon of water. The EPA advises running the bathroom fan or opening a window when showering to keep mold from returning. If the surface is past saving, a shower replacement typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 and most jobs finish in as little as one day, according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table. Our care guide lists every safe cleaner and the full avoid list.
Acrylic shower walls last for many years when they are installed correctly and cleaned with nonabrasive products. Because acrylic is a solid, nonporous material, it does not absorb water the way grout lines do, so the usual failure points are the caulk seams and the drain connection rather than the wall panels. What moves the number is the quality of the substrate and sealing behind the panels, how hard the water is, and whether abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals are used, since those dull and scratch the surface over time. Replacing the old shower with a new acrylic system typically costs $10,000 to $18,000, according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table, with stone look or patterned walls toward the upper part of the range. The install team removes the old unit and sets the new one, and most jobs finish in as little as one day. Bath Planet acrylic walls carry a limited lifetime warranty, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation.
Yes, an acrylic bath wall system is durable, because the panels are solid, nonporous sheets with no grout lines, and most installs finish in as little as one day. Water has fewer places to get behind the wall, which is a common cause of mold, soft backer board and failed grout in older showers. Daily care is mild soap and a soft cloth, with no grout sealing. Price moves with the style you choose: according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table, a shower replacement typically runs $10,000 to $18,000, with stone look or patterned walls and larger custom sizes toward the top. Damage found behind the old surface, layout changes, glass doors and fixture upgrades also change the final number. Bath Planet of Arkansas designs, sells and installs these systems, and the acrylic carries a Bath Planet limited lifetime warranty.
Yes, a one day shower replacement is usually worth it for homeowners who want a finished shower at a known price, since Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table lists a shower replacement at $10,000 to $18,000 installed and most jobs finish in as little as one day. A low step walk in shower runs $15,000 to $24,000, and glass doors, upgraded fixtures, stone look or patterned walls and larger custom sizes move a job toward the top of the range. The value comes from skipping a traditional grouted shower build, which keeps a bathroom torn up for far longer, and from a single install visit where the team removes the old unit, sets the new system and hauls away the debris. It is less worth it if you want a fully custom layout, because moving plumbing or changing the footprint adds scope and time. Match the options to the wall material, door and size you actually need before deciding.
Acrylic tubs and shower walls give you a nonporous, low maintenance surface that can be installed in as little as one day, with a shower replacement typically running $10,000 to $18,000 according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table. Large panels mean far fewer seams than a grouted wall, so there is little grout to scrub, reseal or stain, and water has fewer places to get behind the wall. Acrylic also feels warmer to the touch than ceramic or stone, and the panels are light enough to carry through a standard doorway. Price moves with scope: glass doors, upgraded fixtures, stone look or patterned walls and a larger or custom size shower move a job toward the top of the range. Moving plumbing, repairing water damage found behind old walls, and changing the shower footprint can also add time and cost.
Walls come in solid acrylic colors, stone looks and patterned finishes, and according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table a shower replacement typically runs $10,000 to $18,000 installed, with stone look and patterned walls toward the upper part of that range. Solid acrylic gives a smooth surface that wipes clean. Stone look and patterned walls add texture and pattern, and that is what moves the price up. Glass doors, upgraded fixtures and a larger or custom size shower also add to the total. Color and pattern choices are made during the free in home design consultation, where you can compare wall samples against your vanity, floor and lighting. Most jobs finish in as little as one day, because the install team removes the old unit, sets the new system and hauls the debris away.
Hidden damage behind a bath wall is repaired before the new walls go up, which can add a day or more to a job that otherwise finishes in as little as one day. Once the old surround comes off, the install team checks the studs, backer board and subfloor for soft wood, rot or mold. A few damaged studs or a small patch of wet drywall are usually replaced during the same visit. Rot across a larger section of subfloor may need a carpenter or plumber first, so the schedule moves. The EPA says mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on materials that stay wet, so the leak has to be fixed before anything is sealed in. The size of the damaged area can push the final number beyond the ranges in Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table, which lists $10,000 to $18,000 for a shower replacement or tub to shower conversion. If insurance may apply, the claim is between the homeowner and the insurer, and photos of the damage help support it.
A natural stone look acrylic wall system is a set of acrylic shower wall panels molded and colored to resemble natural stone, and it sits toward the upper part of the $10,000 to $18,000 range that Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table lists for a shower replacement. The panels are solid acrylic, so there are no grout lines to scrub or reseal and no porous stone to maintain. Solid color walls sit lower in the same range, so the stone look pattern is the step up. Glass doors, upgraded fixtures and a larger or custom size shower also move the number, as do layout changes. The install team removes the old unit, sets the new system and hauls debris away, and most jobs finish in as little as one day. Bath Planet of Arkansas designs, sells and installs these systems across Central Arkansas.
Shower base and wall options run from a standard acrylic base and solid color walls to stone look or patterned walls, glass doors and larger custom sizes, and according to Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table a shower replacement typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed. A low step walk in shower with the standard low threshold runs $15,000 to $24,000. Moving up the range comes down to the shower footprint, since a bigger or custom size unit needs more material and fitting, along with the wall finish, the door style and the grade of the fixtures. Most jobs finish in as little as one day, because the install team removes the old unit, sets the new system and hauls the debris away. A free in home design consultation is available to match a base and wall finish to your bathroom and budget.
A tub and shower company usually offers two layers of coverage, a manufacturer warranty on the products and an installation warranty on the labor. Limited means conditions apply, so read what is excluded, such as damage from misuse, abrasive cleaners or repairs made by someone else. Coverage matters on a purchase of this size, because the price table published by Bath Planet of Arkansas lists a shower replacement at $10,000 to $18,000 and a walk in tub at $14,000 to $20,000. Before signing, ask who pays for labor if a part fails, whether the warranty passes to the next owner when you sell, and what steps are required to file a claim. Bath Planet acrylic products carry a limited lifetime warranty, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation.
