No "starting at." No commissioned closer sitting at your table doing arithmetic you can't see. Real ranges from 18 years of Denver-metro projects — from supply-only pans under $2,000 to full custom builds — plus exactly what moves the number in either direction.
In Littleton, Colorado, a midrange full bathroom remodel runs $10,000–$18,000 and a full custom tile bathroom runs $15,000–$25,000+. If you're only doing the shower: a one-day Crestline install starts at $6,900, a tub-to-shower conversion runs $8,500–$14,500, and a custom tile shower runs $12,000–$20,000+. Supply-only shower pans start under $2,000 if you're installing yourself, and budget-friendly shower remodels can finish under $10,000 fully installed.
Plenty of Colorado contractors quote $30,000 or more for a single custom shower. Sometimes that's justified. Often it's franchise fees and television advertising. The rest of this page is how to tell which one you're looking at.
Find the row that matches what you're actually doing. Every range below is a real Denver-metro range, not a teaser number designed to get someone through your front door.

Ranges reflect turnkey installation in the Littleton and south Denver metro area as of 2026, including labor, materials, disposal, and cleanup. Permits are passed through at cost where required. Your written quote is fixed after an in-home measure.
A shower is a shower. Whether it sits in a 35-square-foot hall bath downtown or a 120-square-foot Highlands Ranch master, the wall system, the pan, the valve, and the labor to install them are broadly similar. Shower-only projects barely scale with room size.
Full remodels are different, because flooring, lighting, vanity size, and tile quantity all grow with the footprint. Rough scaling against a small bathroom:
| Bathroom size | Square feet | Full remodel effect |
|---|---|---|
| Small / powder | Under 40 | Baseline |
| Standard hall bath | 40 – 80 | +10% |
| Master | 80 – 120 | +20% |
| Large master | 120+ | +30% |
On a typical Denver-metro bathroom project, the split lands roughly here. Anyone quoting you a lump sum with no visibility into these buckets is asking for trust instead of offering transparency.
A complete quote covers demolition and haul-away, the shower or tub unit, wall surface, pan or base, waterproofing, plumbing valve and connections, fixtures, doors and glass, vanity and counter, flooring, lighting and electrical, permits where required, daily cleanup, and the final walkthrough. If a line is missing from the paper, it isn't in the price.
Two identical-looking bathrooms two blocks apart in Littleton can quote thousands apart, and it's almost never about the quality of the work. It's these.
Keeping the existing drain location is the single biggest cost saver in any bathroom project. Moving it means opening the floor and, in most jurisdictions, a permit.
Adds $1,500–$4,000What's underneath a forty-year-old pan is the one thing nobody can quote sight unseen. Sound subfloor, no change. Rot or soft spots, and it gets addressed properly before anything new goes down.
Varies — inspected firstCrestline is a one-day install with no grout and a 30-year manufacturer warranty. Tile is days of skilled labor plus waterproofing and cure time. Both are excellent. They cost differently.
Panel saves 30–45%A framed slider versus frameless heavy glass can differ by thousands. This is the biggest swing most quotes hide inside a lump sum. We price it as its own line so you can see it and decide.
$400 – $4,000+Swapping a trim kit is inexpensive. Replacing the valve body, or upgrading to a thermostatic anti-scald valve, means opening a wall. Worth doing in any home with kids or older adults.
Adds $600–$2,500Zero-threshold requires either a recessed subfloor or a ramped low-profile pan, plus a linear drain. Genuinely worth it if you plan to stay in the home, but it is structural work and it isn't free.
Adds $2,000–$5,000Keeping the existing footprint keeps the project predictable. Enlarging the shower into a closet or moving the vanity wall is a different project with a different number.
Keeping layout saves mostTurnkey through our crews with a 5-year workmanship warranty, or supply-only through Showers4Less with your own contractor. Both are real options and the second one is genuinely cheaper.
Supply-only cuts labor entirelyMost contractors won't tell you the second option exists because it takes the labor line off their invoice. It's a legitimate way to save real money, and the manufacturer warranty is unaffected.
We handle everything: demo, disposal, waterproofing, plumbing, the unit, doors, fixtures, permits, cleanup, and the final walkthrough. One crew, one schedule, one number to call when you have a question.
Order the shower pan, wall system, or hydrotherapy bathtub and install it yourself or hand it to a contractor you already trust. Ships nationwide through our sister site.
Supply-only orders ship through Showers4Less.com. Turnkey work is quoted at a free in-home visit anywhere in the Littleton shower remodel service area.
Permit fees are set by whichever jurisdiction covers your parcel — City of Littleton, Arapahoe County, Jefferson County, or Douglas County — and each publishes its own schedule, which changes periodically. In practice it's a small fraction of a bathroom budget. A like-for-like fixture swap usually needs no permit. Moving a drain, relocating a valve, adding a circuit or exhaust fan, or enlarging the shower does. We pull it and pass the fee through at cost. The reason this matters isn't the fee — it's that unpermitted bathroom work is one of the top items that renegotiates or kills a Denver-metro real estate deal at inspection.
The Zonda Cost vs. Value Report consistently places midrange bathroom remodels in the 74–80% national ROI range, near the top of where that category has sat in recent years. In south Denver specifically, bathrooms and kitchens are the two rooms buyers evaluate first. Dated tile, a cracked tub, or visibly unpermitted work tends to cost more in reduced offers than the remodel would have cost outright. Universal-design elements — curbless entry, grab bars, comfort-height fixtures — widen the buyer pool rather than narrowing it.
Late winter through early spring is the best window in the Denver metro: more crew availability, fewer backorders, and if you're selling into the summer market you finish with weeks to spare. Bathroom work is interior, so the slower season is an advantage rather than a constraint. On financing, we work with several home improvement lenders offering low-monthly-payment plans, deferred-interest promotions, and long-term fixed-rate options. Rates depend on the lender, amount, term, and credit profile, so we present real terms in writing at the consultation rather than publishing a payment table that would be wrong by the time you read it.
