Common Questions
What tile options work best for walk-in showers?
Large-format porcelain tile (24x48 or larger) creates a clean, contemporary look with fewer grout lines to maintain. Smaller mosaic tiles work well on floors for better grip. Natural stone (marble, travertine) is beautiful but requires sealing. We'll advise on the best choice for your budget and maintenance preferences.
What is a curbless shower?
A curbless (zero-threshold) shower has no step or lip — the floor transitions flush from the bathroom into the shower. This requires precise floor slope toward the drain during construction. Curbless showers are preferred for accessibility and for a clean modern aesthetic.
How much does a custom walk-in shower cost?
Custom walk-in showers typically range from $6,000–$18,000 depending on tile selection, size, and features (niches, bench, frameless glass). Full master bath renovations that include the shower run $38,000–$100,000+.

Everything About Walk-In Shower Installation in South Florida
Walk-in shower installation in South Florida has unique considerations. The humidity and heat mean waterproofing isn't optional — it's the most critical part of the job. Best Price Kitchen Bath & Floors uses a full waterproofing membrane system on every shower — walls, floor, and curb. Skipping this step is the most common cause of tile failures, mold, and structural damage in Palm Beach County bathrooms.
The most requested walk-in shower features in our Palm Beach County projects: large-format porcelain tile (24×48 or 48×48) for minimal grout lines and easier cleaning, built-in niches at the correct height for actual use, linear drains that allow for continuous large-format tile runs without breaks, frameless glass enclosures in brushed nickel or matte black hardware, and curbless (zero-threshold) designs that work for any age and make the bathroom feel larger.
Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the highest-ROI bathroom investments in Palm Beach County. Most homeowners don't use their tub after age 50 — removing it and building a custom walk-in shower recaptures that square footage and transforms the feel of the bathroom completely. The conversion typically runs $8,000–$18,000 depending on tile selection, glass enclosure, and whether existing plumbing can be reused.
Every walk-in shower we install is permitted where required, inspected, and built by Tim Yaxley's crew — not subcontracted. Jose Ruiz designs the tile layout in 3D before any work begins, so you see exactly what you're getting. Janet Yaxley helps with tile and fixture selections at our Canyon Town Center showroom.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does walk-in shower installation take?
A standard walk-in shower conversion takes 5–8 business days for demo, waterproofing, tile, and glass. Larger master bath showers with complex tile patterns or custom niches may run 8–12 days. Jose will give you a specific timeline after the in-home assessment.
Can I convert my existing tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested projects. If the existing drain location is usable, conversion costs are lower. We assess plumbing reuse during the free in-home estimate. Most conversions complete in under 2 weeks.
What is the difference between a frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosure?
Frameless enclosures use thick tempered glass (3/8″ or 1/2″) with minimal hardware — the look is clean and modern with no metal frame around the glass. Semi-frameless has a metal channel at the top and bottom but no full frame around each panel. Frameless costs more but is easier to clean and looks premium. We carry both at our Canyon Town Center showroom.
Do I need a permit for a walk-in shower conversion in Palm Beach County?
In most Palm Beach County jurisdictions, converting a tub to a walk-in shower requires a permit because it involves plumbing modifications. Tim Yaxley (CGC1535490) handles all permit applications, inspections, and sign-offs. Never let a contractor skip the permit on a shower conversion — it creates title and insurance issues when you sell.
