Converting a tub to a shower in Maumelle, AR typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed. A standard acrylic shower in the old tub space sits near the low end, and glass doors, built in seating and a larger footprint move it up. The standard low threshold is easy to step over. Most conversions take one to two days, and the acrylic carries a Bath Planet limited lifetime warranty, with installation backed by Bath Planet of Arkansas.
If you are weighing tub to shower conversions work in Maumelle, 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.
Maumelle owners are more likely to remodel ahead of need than in response to it. The city on the north bank of the Arkansas River, northwest of Little Rock, is almost entirely modern housing: Census American Community Survey 2019 to 2023 estimates put the median home at 2001, with 53.4 percent built in 2000 or later and fewer than one percent before 1960. It also has the highest median home value of any market we serve, about $276,900, and three homes in four are owner occupied. Very few owners have been in place since the 1980s, only 2.8 percent, because most of the town did not exist yet. Households skew older than that newness suggests. Residents 65 and older are 17.6 percent of the city, right at the state level, and 32.4 percent of households include someone 65 or older. The difference is in health: just 2.6 percent of Maumelle residents 65 and older report a self care difficulty, against 8.6 percent statewide, and the overall disability rate for that group is 28.6 percent compared with 40.3 percent in Arkansas. In other words, many Maumelle owners who call are healthy and in their sixties and want the main bath to work for them at 85 without looking like a hospital room. That is a design brief rather than a repair. It usually means turning a large soaking tub into a walk in shower with a low threshold and a built in bench, adding blocking and grab bars that look like towel bars, choosing a handheld shower head on a slide bar, and picking a stone look wall pattern that matches the rest of a newer house. Around Lake Willastein and Lake Valencia, the city's two recreation lakes, owners who convert a main bath often keep a tub in a second bath for visiting grandchildren. Because the houses are recent, the plumbing is predictable and most conversions finish in about a day. The Little Rock showroom on West Markham is about 20 minutes across the river, and it is an easy place to compare wall finishes before the designer visits. Veterans make up 9.1 percent of adults, a little above the state, and 16.1 percent of residents 65 and older report an ambulatory difficulty, well under the Arkansas rate. Building continues too, with 16.1 percent of homes added since 2010, so some owners call about a bath that is only a few years old but was never set up for the way they plan to live in it. The usual answer is to change the shower base and walls once, to a layout that already includes a bench and bar blocking, rather than adding pieces later.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Maumelle was built around 2001, which makes the typical house about 25 years old. The market covers about 8,254 homes, and the median value sits near $276,900. That makes Maumelle comparatively new construction. Interior work on a house this age is more often about upgrade choices than about surprises behind the walls, and it tends to land close to the estimate. The clear majority of occupied homes are owner occupied, which keeps most decisions with the household rather than with a manager, and usually means one walkthrough instead of three rounds of approvals. That local mix shapes how we scope and schedule tub to shower conversions 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:
Converting a tub is usually the quickest way to make a bathroom easier to use without rebuilding it. The shower takes the tub's place, the entry drops, and grout disappears from the walls. A typical conversion in Maumelle, AR runs one to two days, and the vanity, floor and toilet stay where they are.
Bath Planet of Arkansas works across the Maumelle area, including:
Maumelle is about 12 miles from the Little Rock showroom at 6000 W Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72205, roughly 20 minutes by car. That is close enough that many people drive over to compare wall patterns and fixtures for a tub to shower conversions 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 11 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.
August 2026, in Vilonia, about 19 miles away: A malfunctioning shower setup required a complete overhaul to enhance functionality and safety. We removed the old shower surround and reworked the plumbing to accommodate a new, spacious 48x36 base. The installation included chrome grab bars for added support and a smooth wall system, ensuring a modern and durable finish. Our meticulous work transformed the shower space into a safer and more appealing area.
Yes. Conversions 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 you receive with your price. Typical installed prices run $10,000 to $18,000, and most jobs finish in one to two days.
Usually not. Most conversions reuse the existing drain location and supply lines, with a new shower valve and fixtures. Older pipes or a drain in the wrong spot can add labor, which moves a job toward the top of the typical $10,000 to $18,000 range. The consultant checks the plumbing during the free visit.
Most conversions take one to two days when the shower goes into the old tub space. The first day covers removing the tub and setting the base and walls, and fixtures, doors and accessories finish the job. Moving the drain or valve adds time, and that is written into the price before the install is scheduled.
Converted showers get custom made acrylic wall panels with no grout lines. The panels carry Microban antimicrobial protection and come in solid colors, stone looks and grout line patterns. A tub to shower conversion typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed, and patterned panels add a little to the total.
