Converting a tub to a shower in North Little Rock, 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 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 tub to shower conversions 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 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:
A conversion makes sense when nobody in the house takes baths and the tub wall has become the hardest part of getting clean. The tub comes out, a shower base goes into the same space, and grout free panels go up around it. You keep the room's layout and lose the climb. In North Little Rock, AR, a typical conversion takes one to two days from tear out to fixtures.

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 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 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 Searcy, about 43 miles away: An outdated shower setup posed both functionality and aesthetic issues. We removed the old shower surround, then installed a new Sprayfoam XL base with travertine walls. Delta Ashlyn fixtures complemented the fresh look, while we added grab bars for safety. The electric whirlpool tub was capped to streamline the design, ensuring a modern, accessible shower experience.
If you have young children or plan to sell to families, keeping one tub somewhere in the home is a sensible hedge. Converting a second tub, or the tub in a primary bath, is common and rarely a problem for buyers. A typical conversion costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed and takes one to two days.
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.
A tub to shower conversion in North Little Rock, AR typically costs $10,000 to $18,000 installed. A standard acrylic shower in the old tub space sits near the low end, and a seat, grab bars, glass doors and shelving move it up. A low step walk in shower in the old tub space typically runs $15,000 to $24,000.
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.
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.
