“Just give me a ballpark. What does a shower cost?” William Mullikin hears it walking through Walmart in a Bath Fitter hat. Cam, who manages 14 of our sales consultants, hears it on the golf course. In Episode 1 of the Bath Fitter Fam podcast, they answer it on camera, and they explain why most companies in this industry won’t.
Watch the full episode above. Below are the chapters, the short answer, and where to find the full cost breakdown.

William opens with an admission most of the industry wouldn’t make on camera:
“For 23 years, we have always wanted to keep the customer ignorant until we get out there, let us pitch you what we do.”

Cam’s explanation: a number with no context scares people off before anyone explains what’s included. William’s point is that people can ask an AI assistant for a ballpark now, so hiding the number doesn’t help anyone. That’s why we publish our pricing.
So what’s the ballpark?
Most Bath Fitter shower projects run $8,500 to $15,000, and about 70% of customers land in the middle of that range. Simple white walls and chrome sit at the low end. Custom glass, seats, shelving and upgraded fixtures move it toward the top, and a fully custom build can go past it.

Why won't shower companies give a price over the phone?
Many companies worry a number without context will scare people off before they see what's included. We think you should have a ballpark up front, so we publish our pricing and offer an Instant Estimate before anyone comes to your home.
Does Bath Fitter offer good, better and best packages?
No. The material and installation are the same at every price. What changes the price is what you choose, like glass or a curtain, chrome or matte black, and how many shelves, seats and grab bars.
Can I get a price for just the door or the seat?
Pricing comes as a complete package for your bathroom. Tell your consultant which features matter most and what budget you need to stay under, and they can help you choose options that fit it.
Can I finance a shower remodel?
Yes. The application can be done during your consultation, and an answer usually comes back in minutes. Plans, terms and approval depend on the lender. See our financing page for current programs.
