Replacing a shower in North Little Rock, AR 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.
If you are weighing shower replacement work in North Little Rock, AR, the right number depends on the scope, the materials you choose, and the condition of what is there now. Below is what most local homeowners pay, what moves the price, and how we handle the job from inspection through cleanup.
North Little Rock is a renter majority city with an unusually loyal core of homeowners, and that split shapes who calls us. Only 47 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied according to Census American Community Survey 2019 to 2023 estimates, yet 16.5 percent of the owners who are here moved in during 1989 or earlier, above the Arkansas figure of 13.0 percent. Those long tenure owners live in a housing stock that is mostly postwar. The median home was built in 1975, 59.1 percent of homes went up before 1980, and 23.3 percent before 1960. The city began as Argenta, on the north bank of the Arkansas River across from the capital, and the Argenta Historic District downtown still holds some of its oldest houses, while the neighborhoods spreading north toward Burns Park and the lakes are largely ranch houses from the 1950s through the 1970s. A ranch house from that era usually means one hall bath with a five foot tub, and sometimes a small second bath off the main bedroom with a cramped stall shower. Both are good candidates for a one day replacement because the footprint stays the same. What changes is how the room works. For an owner who has been in the house since the 1980s, the tub that was fine at 40 becomes a hazard at 75. Among North Little Rock residents 65 and older, 36.0 percent report a disability and 24.3 percent report an ambulatory difficulty, and 13.2 percent of households are a person 65 or older living alone. Veterans make up 8.8 percent of adults here, above the state's 7.6 percent, which matters because a veteran with a service related need may qualify for VA help toward bathroom changes, a conversation worth having with the VA before the work is scheduled. Then there are the investors. A city where more than half the homes are rented has a steady stream of bathrooms that must be turned around between leases, and for those the priority list reads differently: a one day swap so the unit is not empty for a week, walls with no grout lines for the next tenant to stain, and a base that will not crack under hard use. The acrylic system is the same one an owner occupant would pick; the reasons are just practical rather than personal. Either way the Park Plaza showroom in Little Rock is roughly a 17 minute drive across the river, so a measuring visit is easy to schedule. Not all of the city is old. About 13.3 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later, mostly on the northern edges, and their baths need nothing more than a style change for years yet. The bigger group is the long term owner: 30.4 percent of owners moved in before 2000, and for them the median home value of about $169,500 makes a safety focused shower update a sensible use of money compared with moving.
Census figures put the median North Little Rock home at about 51 years old, built around 1975. There are roughly 33,554 housing units here with a median value near $169,500. Most of North Little Rock went up in the postwar decades. The framing on these homes is usually sound, but original supply lines, drains, wiring, and subfloors are old enough to be worth checking while the shower replacement work already has the room open. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Values in North Little Rock sit toward the lower end of the markets we serve, so the question is usually which option returns the most service life per dollar, and we will show you the point where spending more stops paying for itself. By housing count North Little Rock is one of the larger markets we cover, with enough variation street to street that two homes a mile apart can need genuinely different work, which is why we measure rather than quote from a map. That local mix shapes how we scope and schedule shower replacement work here. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.

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:
A shower that leaks or flexes is past repair, even if it still runs. Replacing it removes the old unit, deals with any soft framing, and installs a base and walls that are sealed as one system. The usual timeline in North Little Rock, AR is one to two days.
Bath Planet of Arkansas works across the North Little Rock area, including:
North Little Rock is about 9 miles from the Little Rock showroom at 6000 W Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72205, roughly 17 minutes by car. That is close enough that many people drive over to compare wall patterns and fixtures for a shower replacement project before the in home measurement, though nothing requires it.
From the job cards filed after each install, nearest first:
November 2025, in Sherwood, about 5 miles away: The old tub and shower combo was outdated and not meeting the homeowner's needs for convenience and aesthetics. We replaced it with a stunning walk in shower featuring elegant glass doors and matte black hardware, enhancing both functionality and style in the bathroom. This transformation created a modern, luxurious space that complements the overall home design.
September 2025, in Little Rock, about 8 miles away: We addressed an outdated and worn shower area by expertly removing the existing surround and tearing out the cast iron base. We then installed a new 60x32 left hand shower base and a smooth wall system, incorporating modern Delta fixtures and a convenient bench seat. To enhance safety, we added grab bars and a niche shelf, creating a functional and stylish space.
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.
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.
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.
A shower replacement in North Little Rock, AR 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.
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.
The median North Little Rock home was built around 1975 per Census American Community Survey data, so a large share of the housing stock is 51 or more years old. That is the age where shower replacement and the other big updates come due, and it is the work Bath Planet of Arkansas does every week.
