Bathroom Remodel Shawnee, KS

Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Shawnee, KS

The Shower Company is a bathroom remodeling contractor serving Shawnee with more than 25 years of experience. As specialized bathroom remodelers, we focus on one trade rather than juggling everything a general contractor takes on: shower remodels, tub-to-shower conversions, bathtub replacement, and full bathroom renovations.

With its historic downtown and long-established neighborhoods, Shawnee has plenty of older homes whose bathrooms are overdue for an update, and we rebuild them to look right and last. We use our own crews, never subcontractors.

Bathroom Remodeling in Shawnee's Ranches and Split-Levels

Shawnee is really two housing markets. The eastern half and the area around downtown went up in the post-war boom, mostly ranches and split-levels. The western subdivisions are far newer. A bathroom remodel here depends heavily on which side of town you are on.

In the older east and downtown, we see:

Small hall baths that are the only full bathroom in the house. This is the single biggest reason our one-day shower installs matter in Shawnee. A week without a bathroom is not an option for most of these households.
Split-level layouts where the bath sits on a half-landing. Getting a one-piece base or a glass panel up a turned stairwell takes planning, and it is the thing most contractors fail to check before quoting.
Raised ranches with the garage underneath, where supply lines run through unconditioned space and the floor never quite warms up.
Original cast iron tubs and galvanized supply lines in the oldest streets, narrowed with rust and dropping pressure.

In the newer west, the problems flip. Those homes have the same oversized garden and jetted tubs found across Johnson County, installed because the floor plan called for one and unused for years since.

We check which of these we are dealing with before we quote, not after demolition starts.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Shawnee

Tub to Shower Conversion

Our most requested job in Shawnee, for two different reasons depending on where you live. In the newer west, it is the unused garden tub eating a third of the primary bath. In the older east, it is a narrow post-war tub that has become hard to step into. We remove the tub, rebuild the floor and walls, handle the plumbing, and install a walk-in shower built for the space. Curbless entry, bench seating, and grab bars are available for aging in place. Most conversions finish in a single day.

Shower Remodel

Showers that drain correctly, stay watertight, and clean easily. We build in tile, acrylic, and onyx, waterproofed from the backer board out rather than surface-sealed. In Shawnee’s older homes, this often means correcting a shower pan that was never sloped properly, which is why the ceiling below started staining. Recent work is in our project gallery.

Full Bathroom Remodel

Floors, walls, vanity, fixtures, lighting, ventilation. In a post-war ranch, this usually means making a small footprint work harder: better storage, a larger shower in place of a tub, and a fan that actually clears steam.

Bathtub Replacement

We pull heavy cast iron and oversized jetted tubs and set modern units that hold heat and use less water. Cast iron removal from a split-level is its own job, and we plan the route out before the day starts. If you would rather reclaim the floor space entirely, see tub-to-shower conversions.

Bathroom Walls

Store-bought panel kits fail at the seams, especially around the small windows common in older Shawnee baths. We install fully sealed tile, acrylic, onyx, and solid-surface systems waterproofed back to the framing, the same systems used in our full bathroom renovations.

What a Bathroom Remodel Costs in Shawnee, KS

Every bathroom is different, and the final number depends on size, layout, and materials. These are our typical ranges across the Kansas City metro:

Service	Typical Range	Notes
Shower remodel / walk-in shower conversion	$4,500 to $12,000	Acrylic, onyx, or tile; most completed in one day
Tub to shower conversion	$4,500 to $12,000	Includes structural prep, new base, walls, and fixtures
Bathtub replacement	$4,500 to $12,000	Includes wall surround; most completed in one to two days
Bathroom wall replacement	$1,500 to $5,000	Tile, acrylic, or solid-surface systems
Full bathroom remodel	$14,000 to $35,000	Includes all surfaces, fixtures, plumbing, and electrical; typically completed within one to two weeks after work begins

A straightforward finish replacement sits at the low end. A full rebuild that moves plumbing or reworks the layout sits higher. You get a guaranteed written price at your free in-home consultation, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Full ranges are on our pricing page, and 0% financing is available for qualified homeowners.

Permits and Inspections in Shawnee, Handled For You

Shawnee handles its own building permits through the city’s Building Codes Division rather than Johnson County, and applications run through the city’s online portal.

Cosmetic work is exempt. Swapping a vanity, a mirror, or a plumbing fixture in place does not need a permit. Once the job involves altering plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems, or changing the layout, it does. We file the permits, meet the inspectors, and close everything out, so you never deal with City Hall.

How We Work

Free In-Home Consultation

We send a specialist to your Shawnee home for measurements, photos, and a full walkthrough. We also check stairwell and doorway access, which matters in a split-level when a one-piece base has to come up a half-flight, and we look at the existing plumbing and ventilation before we price anything.

Quote and Approval

After your consultation, we prepare a clear, straightforward quote with no hidden fees. You have a guaranteed price before we leave. Once you approve it, we move into scheduling and material orders.

Ordering and Scheduling

All materials are custom ordered to your bathroom's exact dimensions. We also pull and manage any Shawnee permits your remodel requires, then assign a dedicated crew to stay on your job until it is finished.

Installation and Completion

Our installers focus only on your bathroom, no bouncing between jobs. Showers and tub conversions are usually done in a day, which matters when it is the only full bath in the house. Full remodels take one to two weeks once work begins. We walk the finished space with you, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

Why Shawnee Homeowners Choose Us

In a lot of Shawnee houses, there is one full bathroom, and losing it for two weeks is not an option. That shapes how we work here.

One crew, one day, for most jobs. Showers and tub conversions finish inside a day because our installers do not rotate between sites. They start your bathroom and stay on it.
No subcontractors. Everyone in your home is our employee, so nothing waits on a plumber who is booked three weeks out.
We plan the access route before we quote. Split-level stairwells and narrow post-war halls decide what will physically fit. That gets measured at the consultation, not discovered on installation day.
Bathrooms only, for more than 25 years.
Top Pro in 2022, 2023, and 2025, and an A+ rating with the BBB.
4.8 stars on Google, from more than 100 reviews.
NKBA and NARI members.
Guaranteed pricing, with no change orders once work starts.
0% financing for qualified homeowners.

We clean up daily and leave the house usable overnight. In a one-bathroom home, that is not a courtesy; it is the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

We only have one bathroom. How long will we be without it?

For a shower remodel or tub-to-shower conversion, one day. That is the normal case in Shawnee’s post-war ranches, where a single full bath serves the whole house. A full bathroom remodel takes one to two weeks once work begins, and we will tell you honestly at the consultation which category your project falls into.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Shawnee, KS?

Cosmetic work does not need one. Replacing a vanity, a mirror, or a fixture in the same location is exempt. Once the work alters plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems, or changes the layout, Shawnee requires a permit from the city’s Building Codes Division rather than from Johnson County. We handle the filing and the inspections.

Can you remodel a bathroom in a Shawnee split-level?

Yes, and we check the access route before quoting. A half-landing bathroom means a one-piece shower base or a glass panel has to make a turn in a narrow stairwell. We measure that at the consultation and choose materials that fit the route, which avoids the change of plan that otherwise turns up on installation day.

Does it cost more to remodel a bathroom in older east Shawnee?

Sometimes. Homes on the east side and around downtown are more likely to have galvanized supply lines, a subfloor softened by a tub that leaked quietly for years, or a shower pan that was never sloped correctly. None of that is guaranteed. We test for it before quoting rather than after demolition, so any extra cost shows up on paper instead of mid-project. Newer homes in western Shawnee are usually more predictable, though the bathrooms are larger.

Can you remove a cast iron tub from an older Shawnee home?

Yes. Cast iron is common in Shawnee homes built before the 1970s, and removal is a planning problem as much as a lifting one. We work out the exit route before installation day, and where carrying it out whole is not realistic, we cut it in place. Nothing gets dragged across your floors.

Can you make a small Shawnee hall bathroom feel bigger?

Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs here. Taking out a tub surround and putting in a low-threshold or curbless shower removes the visual break that makes a small room feel chopped up. Frameless glass, lighter wall surfaces, a larger mirror, and recessed storage do the rest. Post-war hall baths usually have more usable space than they look like they do.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Shawnee?

Shower remodels and tub-to-shower conversions run $4,500 to $12,000. Bathtub replacements run the same, and full bathroom remodels run $14,000 to $35,000. Shawnee’s older hall baths are often compact, which keeps material costs down, though a single-bathroom house needs more careful sequencing. You get a guaranteed written price at your free in-home consultation, with 0% financing available for qualified homeowners.

Does a walk-in shower add value to a Shawnee home?

Usually, especially where the house keeps a tub in another bathroom. Buyers across Johnson County expect a large, low-maintenance primary shower. The caution is specific to Shawnee’s older east side, where many homes have only one full bath. Removing the last tub in a family home can narrow your buyer pool, so if you have a single bathroom and plan to sell, we will talk it through before you decide.

Which areas near Shawnee do you serve?

All of Shawnee plus Lenexa, Merriam, Mission, Overland Park, Olathe, De Soto, and the wider Johnson County area. One local note: if your address falls within Lake Quivira, permits are filed through Lake Quivira’s own portal rather than Shawnee’s. We handle that filing either way.
