Molded liner over the existing space, installed in a day: $1,500–$4,000.
Tiled pan and walls with niche and bench: $4,000–$12,000 depending on tile.
Barrier-free entry for aging in place; requires re-sloping the floor: from $8,000.

Rain heads, hand showers, body sprays and thermostatic valves: $300–$2,000.
The single most common shower project in Dayton is converting the alcove tub in a 1960–80s ranch into a walk-in shower — thousands of homes in Kettering, Beavercreek and Huber Heights fit this exact pattern, and local contractors quote it constantly ($3,500–$7,000 typical). Hard water in the Miami Valley is tough on glass and fixtures: budget for a protective glass coating and consider brushed finishes that hide spots.

A shower remodel costs $3,000–$12,000 for most Dayton homes: $1,500–$4,000 for an acrylic surround swap, $4,000–$12,000 for a tiled walk-in, and $12,000–$25,000+ for a custom curbless build.
A tub-to-shower conversion runs $2,500–$8,000 in the Dayton area depending on surround material (acrylic vs tile), glass choice and plumbing changes. Most conversions finish in under a week.
One-day acrylic systems are literally done in a day. A custom tile shower takes 1–2 weeks of on-site work plus 2–4 weeks of material lead time.
Acrylic is cheaper, faster and nearly maintenance-free; tile looks better and adds more value but needs grout care and costs 2–3× more. For a forever home in Dayton, tile wins; for a quick sale prep, acrylic.
Replacing a surround in the same footprint usually needs no permit; moving the drain or valve locations does. Full bathroom remodels with layout changes require plumbing permits — see our Ohio permit guide.
