Every tub-to-shower conversion we complete in Aurora, Ontario, is built to Ontario Building Code (OBC) standards, including proper floor slope for drainage, waterproof membrane installation behind all wet surfaces, GFCI electrical for heated floors and exhaust fans, and correct ventilation requirements. We are familiar with the plumbing configurations across all Aurora neighborhoods, from the newer builds in Aurora Highlands and Aurora Estates, where existing rough-in is typically in place, to the older homes in Aurora Heights and Aurora Village, where drain relocation or sub-floor work may be required.

One of the fastest-growing tub-to-shower conversion requests in Aurora, Ontario, is the curbless shower, also called a zero-threshold shower, walk-in barrier-free shower, or roll-in shower. Unlike a traditional shower with a raised curb or step at the entry, a curbless shower transitions flush from the bathroom floor into the shower area with no barrier to step over.
Curbless barrier-free showers in Aurora must meet OBC Section 3.8.3.13 requirements including: floor slope of minimum 1:50 (2%) toward the drain across the entire shower area; a threshold that is level with the adjacent finished floor or a maximum 13mm bevelled threshold; L-shaped grab bar on the control wall mounted at 850mm above finished floor; a fold-down or fixed seat; handheld showerhead with minimum 1,800mm flexible hose; and clear floor space of minimum 900mm at shower entry. Our licensed contractors design every curbless shower conversion in Aurora to meet these exact OBC requirements — protecting both your safety and your permit approval.
A curbless barrier-free shower conversion in Aurora typically costs CAD $8,000–$15,000+ depending on size, materials, and accessibility features. This includes correct floor slope work, linear or centre drain installation, waterproof membrane system, grab bar reinforcement blocking, tile, glass panel or curtain option, and any permit fees. We provide free assessments for all Aurora homeowners considering a curbless shower conversion.

A curbless shower (also called a zero-threshold or barrier-free shower) has no raised curb or step at the entry the floor transitions flush from the bathroom into the shower. In Aurora, curbless shower conversions are popular with homeowners planning for aging-in-place, seniors who want to reduce fall risk, and anyone wanting a modern, open bathroom aesthetic. Ontario Building Code (OBC) sets specific requirements for curbless barrier-free showers including floor slope, grab bar placement, and clear floor space. Our licensed contractors build all curbless showers to full OBC barrier-free standards.
Yes, in almost all cases. Most Aurora homes built in the last 30 years have standard alcove bathtub rough-in that can be directly converted to a walk-in shower using the existing drain location. For older Aurora homes in Aurora Heights or Aurora Village, we assess the existing plumbing, confirm drain position and slope, and design a walk-in shower layout that works within your existing bathroom footprint. If drain relocation is required, we handle the concrete cutting and re-routing as part of the project.
It depends on how many bathrooms your home has. If your Aurora home has two or more bathrooms, converting one bathtub to a walk-in shower typically adds resale value. Walk-in showers are consistently preferred by buyers in the GTA and York Region markets. However, if your home has only one bathroom, real estate professionals in Aurora generally recommend keeping at least one bathtub for families with young children and for broader buyer appeal. We are happy to advise based on your specific home layout and goals during your free consultation.
There are four main options for replacing a bathtub in an Aurora home: (1) Prefab shower insert most affordable, installed in 1–2 days, limited style options; (2) Custom tile shower fully tiled walls and floor, any size or layout, most popular choice in Aurora; (3) Walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure open, modern look, large format tile, linear drain option; (4) Curbless / barrier-free shower zero threshold entry, ideal for accessibility and aging-in-place, requires proper floor slope and drain placement. We build all four types and can advise which is best for your bathroom size, budget, and goals.
We provide tub-to-shower conversion services across all Aurora, Ontario, neighborhoods: Aurora Heights, Aurora Estates, Aurora Highlands, Aurora Village, Aurora Grove, Bayview Southeast, and Hills of St. Andrew. We are familiar with the different home styles, ages, and bathroom configurations across each Aurora neighborhood, which allows us to accurately scope your project and price it correctly before any work begins.
