Lee's Summit Showers, Decade by Decade

Lee’s Summit grew in waves, and each wave left a different kind of shower behind. The year your house was built tells us a lot before we pull the first panel.

Downtown and Older Streets (Before 1960)

  • Small baths with a cast iron tub doubling as the shower.
  • Out-of-square walls that need careful measuring.
  • Older pipes we check before install day.

1970s and 1980s Homes

Common on Raintree Lake’s east side and in older parts of Lakewood.

  • Tub combos with small tile and patched grout.
  • Soft drywall behind the faucet wall.
  • Framed sliders and older valves without anti-scald protection.

1990s and 2000s Homes: Fiberglass Shower Replacement

The biggest group in the city, about four in ten homes.

  • Fiberglass stalls that are chalky, cracked, or flexing.
  • Garden tubs beside a cramped corner shower.
  • Cultured marble gone dull and stained.

A same-footprint swap is a natural one-day job.

Newer Builds (2010 and Later)

Common in New Longview and newer Winterset sections. These usually need upgrades, not repairs: glass, a seat, better fixtures, or a walk-in shower in place of an unused tub.

Tub to Shower Conversion for Lee's Summit Homes

A tub to shower conversion gets more out of your bathroom without moving walls.

  • Primary bath: turn the garden tub and cramped corner shower into one walk-in shower with a bench.
  • Hall bath: swap the tub for a walk-in shower in the same 60-inch alcove.

Staying for the long haul? About one in five Lee’s Summit residents is 65 or older. We can add:

  • Low-threshold or curbless entry
  • Built-in seat
  • Grab bars on solid backing
  • Handheld showerhead

Tip: with young kids or a sale coming up, keep one tub in the house.

Shower Renovation Options

Every shower renovation starts with the walls and base. Here’s how the main options compare:

Option Good fit for Upkeep
Acrylic walls and base Fast same-footprint swaps and tighter budgets Wipes clean, no grout
Onyx solid surface A stone look without grout lines Wipes clean, no grout
Custom tile Full design control, niches, accent walls Grout needs sealing and cleaning
Frameless or semi-frameless glass Replacing framed sliders and curtains Squeegee after use

Lee’s Summit buys its water from Kansas City and Independence, and it runs moderately hard. Fewer grout lines means fewer places for scale to settle. Compare wall choices on our shower and tub walls page.

What a Shower Remodel in Lee's Summit Costs

These are our published ranges, current as of March 2026:

ProjectTypical range
Shower replacement, walk-in shower or tub-to-shower conversion$4,500 to $12,000
Bathtub replacement$4,500 to $12,000
Full bathroom remodel$14,000 to $35,000

A same-footprint acrylic swap in a hall bath sits near the low end. A garden tub conversion with onyx or tile, a bench, frameless glass, and a moved drain sits near the top.

What Changes Your Shower Replacement Cost

  • Size. A garden tub footprint is a lot bigger than a 60-inch alcove.
  • Material. Acrylic, onyx, or tile.
  • Fixtures and hardware. Valve, showerhead, handheld, finish.
  • Accessibility features. Seats, grab bars, low thresholds.
  • Custom design. Niches, glass, accent walls.
  • Plumbing changes. Moving a drain for a conversion costs more than reusing one.

Your shower remodel cost is one fixed written number that covers materials and labor. Anything we can see or test at the consultation, like soft spots around an old pan, goes into that number up front, so it doesn’t change on install day unless you change the scope. Ask about 0% financing for 60 months or 15% off (some restrictions apply). See our full pricing page.

Do You Need a Permit for a Shower Remodel in Lee's Summit?

It depends on what the job touches, and we check before we start.

  • Inside city limits, permits come from Lee’s Summit Development Services at City Hall, 220 SE Green St. City code requires a permit to alter, replace or convert plumbing. Stopping a leak does not.
  • Tub-to-shower conversions change the drain, so plan on a permit. A same-footprint swap may or may not need one, depending on what gets replaced behind the wall.
  • Licensing matters. Lee’s Summit requires every contractor to hold an active city contractor license, with insurance and a master’s certification on file, before pulling a permit. Ask any bidder to show you theirs.
  • Outside city limits, some Lee’s Summit mailing addresses fall in unincorporated Jackson County, Cass County or a neighboring town. Unincorporated Jackson County permits go through Jackson County Public Works in Independence. We confirm which office covers your address.

When a permit is needed, we file it and meet the inspector. You don’t have to go to City Hall.

One-Day Shower Remodeling: How Your Install Day Works

Free In-Home Consultation - Image 1

1. Free In-Home Consultation

A specialist comes to your Lee's Summit home with samples. We measure the shower or tub, photograph it, find the drain, and check for soft spots around the old unit so nothing surprises us later.

2. Quote and Approval

You get one written price for your shower, with materials and labor included and no hidden fees. Approve it, and we move straight to ordering.

3. Ordering and Scheduling

Your base, walls, and door are made to your measurements, and we file any permit Lee's Summit requires. Install day is typically four to six weeks from your order, with one dedicated installer assigned.

4. Installation and Completion

Your installer arrives and works only on your shower until it's done, usually in one day. You walk the finished shower together, and the price we quoted is the price you pay.

FAQs

How much does a shower remodel cost in Lee's Summit, MO?

Most of our shower replacements and tub-to-shower conversions run $4,500 to $12,000. A same-footprint acrylic swap is near the low end, and a garden tub conversion with tile or onyx and frameless glass is near the top. You get one fixed written price at the free consultation.

Do I need a permit to replace a shower in Lee's Summit?

Lee’s Summit requires a permit when plumbing is altered, replaced, or converted, so a tub-to-shower conversion almost always needs one. A same-footprint swap depends on what gets replaced behind the wall. We check with Development Services and file it when it’s required.

How long does a shower replacement take?

Most of our shower replacements and conversions are done in one day. Because every piece is made to your measurements, install day is usually four to six weeks after you order.

Is a tub to shower conversion worth it in Lee's Summit?

For a primary bath with a garden tub nobody uses, it usually is, since you trade dead space for a roomy walk-in shower. If it’s the only tub in the house and you have young kids or plan to sell soon, we’ll suggest keeping a tub somewhere else.

Can you replace a cracked fiberglass shower in one day?

Yes. A fiberglass shower replacement in the same footprint is a standard one-day install. We check the subfloor under the old pan first, because a flexing floor is usually why it cracked.

Does a contractor need a license to work in Lee's Summit?

Yes. The city requires an active Lee’s Summit contractor license, with liability insurance, workers’ comp, and a master’s certification, before a contractor can pull permits or do construction work. Ask every bidder to show you theirs.

My address says Lee's Summit, but I'm outside city limits. Who handles the permit?

It depends on where your parcel sits. Unincorporated Jackson County goes through Jackson County Public Works in Independence, and Cass County or a neighboring town may have its own rules. We confirm the right office before we schedule.

Can you build a walk-in shower that's easier to get in and out of?

Yes. We can add a low-threshold or curbless entry, a seat, grab bars, and a handheld showerhead. We plan those features at the consultation so they’re built in, not added later.

Is a shower replacement cheaper than a full bathroom remodel?

Usually by a wide margin. A shower runs $4,500 to $12,000, while a full bathroom remodel runs $14,000 to $35,000 because it also covers floors, vanity, and more.

Ready to Stop Stepping Over the Tub?

If the fiberglass is cracking, the grout keeps coming back, or the garden tub has turned into a towel shelf, it’s time. Book a free in-home consultation, get one written price, and let a crew that only does bathrooms handle your shower remodel in Lee’s Summit.
