        "text": "The cost of a tub-to-shower conversion depends largely on whether you choose prefabricated acrylic units or custom masonry and tile. Major pricing variables include the choice of tile versus acrylic panels, moving plumbing lines, replacing rotted subflooring, installing custom glass doors versus curtains, and adding accessibility hardware. High-end natural stone or marble requires more labor and sealing than ceramic tile. Choosing an owner-operated contractor who handles framing, drywall, and tile in-house helps keep project overhead reasonable while maintaining strict quality control across every phase.",
