Our Sun Lakes Shower Remodeling Services
Sun Lakes shower remodels typically involve replacing an original tub-shower combo or dated step-in shower with a curbless or low-curb walk-in design. We handle tile work, waterproofing, frameless glass, and fixture selections, all planned in 3D before construction starts.

Sun Lakes shower projects cover everything from the pan and drain system up: we build the sloped pre-pan, apply a Schluter Kerdi waterproofing membrane across walls and floors, install large-format tile or mosaic floor tile, hang frameless glass enclosures, and plumb fixtures including handheld diverters, slide bars, and ceiling rain heads. Niche waterproofing and seam-banded corners are part of every install, not an add-on.
For homeowners who want a walk-in shower conversion, we also handle the layout change, moving drain locations and rebuilding the pan to create a curbless or zero-threshold entry. The full scope, including any plumbing changes, is priced before demolition starts so there are no surprises after the walls come down.

Before scheduling any shower demolition, Home Remodeling resolves waterproofing methodology, tile selection, fixture specifications, and pan or liner configurations during a structured planning phase. These decisions directly affect both cost and installation sequencing, so finalizing them before construction starts keeps the project on track and the budget accurate. Project management then oversees all trade coordination through the completed installation.
Sun Lakes homeowners who finalize shower layout and selections before construction begins typically experience cleaner installation sequencing, fewer material delays, and a completed shower that reflects the original design intent.
The distance between what a homeowner envisioned and what gets built is often determined during the planning phase.

How Much Does a Shower Remodel Cost in Sun Lakes?

Shower remodels in Sun Lakes typically run between $10,000 and $30,000. The primary cost driver is shower footprint. Tile shower floors carry the highest cost per square foot of any interior surface, so a larger curbless shower costs more than a tub-to-shower swap in the same footprint.
A linear drain or point drain placement, the choice between a sloped pre-pan and a foam shower pan, and the tile size and layout all affect labor time. Accessories add to the total: a handheld diverter is a smaller addition, while body jets and a ceiling rain head each require additional plumbing and fixtures.
Frameless glass runs higher than a rod-and-curtain finish. For a full breakdown of what moves shower project costs up or down, see our remodeling cost guide.

Why PHR for Shower Remodeling in Sun Lakes
Every Sun Lakes shower project we take on is designed in 3D and priced before demolition starts. That means you see the finished layout, tile selections, glass enclosure configuration, fixture placements, before a single wall comes down.
Waterproofing is handled by our in-house tile team, not a subcontractor. We install a Schluter Kerdi membrane across walls and floors, seal niches and corners, and run a pre-completion water test before closing the project. The 2-year labor warranty covers the finished work.
Fixed pricing is set after the design phase is complete, so the number does not change mid-construction. One dedicated project manager handles scheduling, material coordination, and daily updates through the BuilderTrend portal.
Phoenix Home Remodeling holds a 4.9-star rating across more than 200 verified reviews and has completed more than 500 remodeling projects across the Phoenix metro, including Sun Lakes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Remodeling in Sun Lakes
How Much Does A Shower Remodel Cost In Sun Lakes?
A shower remodel with Phoenix Home Remodeling typically costs $15K-$40K. The final price depends on the shower size, layout changes, tile selections, glass, fixtures, waterproofing approach, and how the new shower connects with the surrounding bathroom. PHR uses a planning-first design-build process, so your final price is provided only after the design and selections are complete. That helps Sun Lakes homeowners near IronOaks, Cottonwood, and Palo Verde understand the full scope before construction begins. Shower projects also meet PHR’s $15,000 project minimum, and larger bathroom scopes may fall into the guest bathroom range of $18K-$25K or primary bathroom range of $40K-$75K.
How Long Does Shower Remodeling Take In Sun Lakes?
A shower remodel typically takes 1-3 weeks for construction after the planning and design phase is complete. The Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase usually takes about 6-10 weeks because PHR locks in the layout, selections, scope, and fixed pricing before construction starts. This is especially helpful for Sun Lakes homes where access, parking, HOA coordination, and occupied-home routines need to be considered in advance. Your dedicated project manager keeps the schedule organized and communicates through the homeowner portal. If the project expands into a full guest bathroom remodel, construction is typically 3-5 weeks, while a primary bathroom remodel is usually 5-7 weeks.
What Is Included In A Shower Remodeling Project?
A shower remodeling project can include design planning, demolition, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, glass, niches, lighting updates, and finish details related to the shower area. Phoenix Home Remodeling starts with design first and build second, so the team studies the existing bathroom, confirms the desired function, and prepares the selections before construction begins. Many homeowners use the shower remodel as a chance to improve storage, entry width, bench placement, drain location, and overall comfort. PHR provides 3D renderings when they help clarify the finished look, and the project is managed by one team from concept to completion with no handoff between designer and contractor.
Can Phoenix Home Remodeling Replace A Tub With A Shower In Sun Lakes?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling can replace a tub with a new shower when the design and site conditions support that scope. Tub-to-shower conversions are common in Sun Lakes homes where homeowners want easier access, a larger shower footprint, or a more useful bathroom layout. During the planning phase, PHR reviews the available space, plumbing location, curb or low-threshold options, wall tile design, fixtures, glass, and storage features. The team also considers how the project will affect daily routines in communities near Sun Lakes Boulevard, Riggs Road, and Alma School Road. Your final price is provided only after design and selections are complete.
Why Does Phoenix Home Remodeling Use A Design-Build Process For Showers?
Phoenix Home Remodeling uses a design-build process because shower remodels work best when the design, scope, selections, and build plan are coordinated before construction begins. A shower includes many connected decisions, such as tile layout, waterproofing, drain placement, niche placement, glass sizing, fixture height, and surrounding wall conditions. With one team from concept to completion, homeowners avoid a handoff between designer and contractor. This planning-first approach supports fixed pricing, fewer surprises, and a more organized construction phase. PHR’s 2.1% change order rate reflects the value of completing the planning work before the first construction day.
Will I See My New Shower Design Before Construction Starts?
Yes, you can see your new shower design before construction starts through design documents and 3D renderings when they are part of the scope. Phoenix Home Remodeling uses visuals to help you understand tile patterns, fixture placement, glass lines, niche locations, bench sizing, and how the shower connects to the rest of the bathroom. This is valuable for Sun Lakes homeowners who want to make confident decisions before construction begins. The goal is to lock in the design and the final price before work starts, not make major decisions during construction. Design first. Build second.
How Does Fixed Pricing Work For A Shower Remodel?
Fixed pricing works by completing the design, selections, and defined scope before the construction agreement is finalized. Phoenix Home Remodeling does not provide the final price until the team understands what is being built, what products are being used, and how the work will be sequenced. For a shower remodel, that may include tile, grout, waterproofing system, glass, fixtures, niches, benches, and related bathroom finishes. This planning-first process helps prevent post-deposit price escalation and keeps everyone aligned before construction begins. PHR’s average change order rate is 2.1%, which reflects the importance of careful planning before the build phase.
Who Manages My Shower Remodel During Construction?
A dedicated project manager manages your shower remodel during construction. Phoenix Home Remodeling assigns a project manager to coordinate communication, scheduling, site protection, trade coordination, and progress updates. You also receive access to a homeowner portal where you can follow updates, view key information, and stay connected with the team. This structure is helpful for occupied homes in Sun Lakes because bathroom access, parking, pets, community rules, and daily routines can be planned ahead. The project manager helps keep the construction phase aligned with the design package that was completed during the 6-10 week planning and design phase.
Is Phoenix Home Remodeling Licensed For Shower Remodeling In Arizona?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling is licensed in Arizona under ROC 313636. The company is CMC Group Ventures, Inc. DBA Phoenix Home Remodeling and was founded in 2017. PHR focuses on interior remodeling, including showers, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, entertainment walls, and whole-home remodeling. For shower projects, the team uses a planning-first approach that includes feasibility, design, selections, and construction planning before the build phase begins. Sun Lakes homeowners can also review PHR’s 200+ reviews and project photos to better understand the company’s process, communication style, and finished work in homes across the East Valley.
What Kind Of Warranty Comes With A Shower Remodel?
Phoenix Home Remodeling provides a 2-year warranty for remodeling work. For a shower remodel, that warranty is supported by a defined scope, documented selections, careful waterproofing details, and a dedicated project manager who follows the project from construction start through completion. PHR’s planning-first process is designed to reduce uncertainty before work begins, so the team understands the shower design, materials, and installation plan in advance. Homeowners in Sun Lakes also benefit from having one design-build company responsible for the project rather than separate design and construction teams. Warranty details can be reviewed during the planning process before construction begins.
Can A Shower Remodel Improve Accessibility In A Sun Lakes Home?
Yes, a shower remodel can improve accessibility by adjusting the entry, layout, controls, bench placement, storage, and overall ease of use. Many Sun Lakes homeowners ask about low-threshold entries, wider glass openings, handheld shower fixtures, built-in benches, grab bar planning, and better lighting. Phoenix Home Remodeling reviews these details during the Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase so the shower supports the homeowner’s routines and long-term comfort. The team can show layout ideas and 3D renderings before construction begins, helping you see how the shower will function in real life. Construction for a shower remodel is typically 1-3 weeks after planning.
What Shower Design Choices Should I Make Before Construction?
You should make the key shower design choices during the planning phase before construction starts. Those choices typically include tile size, tile pattern, grout color, shower valve style, shower head type, handheld fixture, drain style, niche location, bench location, glass style, curb height, and accessory placement. Phoenix Home Remodeling helps organize these decisions during the 6-10 week design phase, which allows the team to prepare a complete scope and fixed pricing. This approach is valuable because shower details are connected, and changing one item can affect several others. Final price is provided only after design and selections are complete.
Can Phoenix Home Remodeling Remodel The Whole Bathroom Around The Shower?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling can remodel the whole bathroom around the shower when the project scope calls for it. Some homeowners begin with a shower concern and then decide to update the vanity, flooring, lighting, mirrors, storage, or bathroom layout at the same time. A guest bathroom remodel is typically $18K-$25K and takes 3-5 weeks for construction. A primary bathroom remodel is typically $40K-$75K and takes 5-7 weeks for construction. The planning and design phase still comes first, usually about 6-10 weeks, so the full bathroom scope, selections, and fixed price are defined before construction begins.
How Do I Know If My Shower Remodel Needs A Larger Bathroom Scope?
You know your shower remodel may need a larger bathroom scope when the surrounding layout, flooring, vanity, lighting, or storage no longer fits the new shower plan. Phoenix Home Remodeling reviews the full bathroom during the feasibility step because a shower can affect nearby finishes and daily function. For example, a larger shower may change the location of glass, towel storage, toilet clearance, or vanity access. In Sun Lakes homes near Dobson Road, Riggs Road, and the golf communities, many bathrooms have layouts that benefit from careful space planning. PHR helps determine whether a shower-only scope or full bathroom remodel is the better fit.
Does Phoenix Home Remodeling Work On Larger Home Remodeling Projects Too?
Yes, Phoenix Home Remodeling works on larger interior remodeling projects in addition to shower remodeling. PHR’s services include bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, laundry room remodeling, entertainment walls, and whole-home remodeling. A kitchen remodel is typically $50K-$100K and takes 4-7 weeks for construction. A whole-home remodel is typically $150K-$300K and takes 1.5-3 months for construction. Larger projects also begin with the 6-10 week Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase so the team can define the layout, selections, and fixed pricing before construction begins. The same design-build model applies, with one team managing the project from concept to completion.
How Do I Start A Shower Remodel With Phoenix Home Remodeling?
You start a shower remodel by scheduling a consultation with Phoenix Home Remodeling. The first step is to discuss your goals, current bathroom, desired shower features, timeline, and investment range. If the project is a fit, PHR moves into the Feasibility, Planning, and Design phase, which usually takes 6-10 weeks. During that phase, the team develops the design, selections, defined scope, and fixed pricing before construction begins. Sun Lakes homeowners can also review PHR’s remodeling client information and before-and-after photos to understand the process and finished work. From there, a dedicated project manager guides the construction phase.

How We Approach Walk-In Shower Conversions in Sun Lakes
Most Sun Lakes homeowners asking about a shower remodel are starting from an original tub-shower combo or a dated step-in shower. The opening question is always the same: what do you actually want the space to do?
For homeowners who want easier daily access, a curbless or zero-threshold shower removes the step-over entirely. We relocate the drain through the slab during the design phase, build the sloped pre-pan to direct water to a point drain or linear drain, and apply the waterproofing membrane before any tile goes in.
For homeowners who want a larger shower footprint, we work through the layout change in 3D first, adjusting the glass enclosure configuration, niche placement, bench or fold-down seat location, and fixture positions before construction starts. The fixed price is set once the design is finalized.
What Sun Lakes Homeowners Select on Shower Projects
Tile and waterproofing decisions drive the most questions during the planning phase. Mosaic floor tile and large-format wall tile in a vertical stack are the most common combinations on Sun Lakes projects. Epoxy grout is worth the upgrade on floor tile for long-term durability.
Fixture selections run from a basic pressure-balance valve with a handheld diverter on a slide bar, up to a thermostatic valve with a ceiling rain head, body jets, and a separate handheld. All fixture placements are set in the 3D design so rough-in locations are confirmed before the walls close.
Recessed niches, a built-in bench, or a fold-down shower seat are common additions. Each gets the same waterproofing treatment as the surrounding walls, including niche waterproofing and seam-banded corners, before tile sets.
