Walk-In Shower Installation for Chicago Homes
A Shower Built Around Your Bathroom
Chicago bathrooms weren’t built for the spa-style showers homeowners want today. Small stalls, outdated tub combos, crumbling tile — these are problems we fix every week across the city. Pegasus Construction handles everything in-house: demo, waterproofing, tile, glass, plumbing, and fixtures. No subcontractors, no scheduling headaches.
Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Shower
- Your tub hasn’t been used in years
- Grout is stained and moldy no matter how much you scrub
- The shower stall is too cramped to turn around
- Water pools on the floor instead of draining
- Tile is cracked, chipped, or impossible to regrout
- Caulk has gone black or pulling away from the wall
- You want a spa-style shower but don’t know where to start
Custom Walk-In Showers, Installed Right
Your Walk-In Shower, Handled End to End
We handle the complete scope in-house: tear out the old tub or shower, install a waterproofing membrane, set tile walls and floors, frame and hang the glass enclosure, connect plumbing, and finish fixtures. Our crew includes licensed plumbers — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no surprises.
Walk-In Shower Options for Chicago Bathrooms
The most popular walk-in shower upgrades we install in Chicago homes. Every project is designed to fit your bathroom layout, budget, and style.
Custom Tile & Stonework
Large-format porcelain, subway tile, natural stone, or custom mosaic — we design and set tile walls, floors, and built-in niches. Heated floor systems available.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
Semi-frameless to fully frameless glass panels and doors. European-style hardware in chrome, matte black, or brushed nickel. Custom-cut to fit any shower opening.
Accessible Walk-In Showers
Curbless (zero-threshold) entry, fold-down bench, grab bars, and linear drain — designed for aging-in-place or accessibility needs without sacrificing style.
Showers Built for Chicago Bathrooms
We Know Chicago’s Older Bathrooms
Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and greystones often have small bathrooms with cast-iron tubs, galvanized supply lines, and 1950s-era tile. We work in these spaces every week — we know how to demo carefully, reroute drain lines, and build a modern shower where an old tub used to be.
Built for Chicago Plumbing
Chicago’s hard water is tough on grout and fixtures. We use epoxy grout and quality fixtures rated for longevity, and we waterproof with RedGard or Schluter Kerdi — membrane systems that actually keep water where it belongs.
Permits & Chicago Building Code
Many shower conversions require a plumbing permit in Chicago, especially if drain lines are relocated. We handle permitting and inspections so you don’t have to deal with the city.
Neighborhoods We Serve
From Lincoln Park and Lakeview on the North Side to Beverly and Bridgeport on the South Side — we remodel bathrooms across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

Walk-In Shower FAQs
How long does walk-in shower installation take?
Most walk-in shower installs take 5–8 business days, depending on tile complexity and whether drain lines need to be relocated. Larger custom showers or those requiring permits may take 10–14 days.
Do you handle plumbing, or do I need a separate plumber?
We handle everything in-house. Our team includes licensed plumbers who manage all supply and drain work — no separate plumber needed, no scheduling gaps.
Can you convert my existing tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes — tub-to-shower conversion is one of our most common projects. We remove the tub, reconfigure the drain, waterproof the area, and install a curbless or curbed walk-in shower in the same footprint.
Do I need a permit for a walk-in shower in Chicago?
Most structural changes and drain relocations require a permit. We pull permits and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to deal with the city directly.
What tile options are available?
We work with large-format porcelain, classic subway tile, natural stone (marble, travertine), and mosaic accents. We’ll bring samples to your home during the free consultation.
How much does a walk-in shower cost in Chicago?
Walk-in showers typically range from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on size, tile selection, glass type, and whether plumbing needs to be relocated. We provide free, itemized estimates with no surprises.
Do you install curbless (zero-threshold) showers?
Yes. Curbless showers are popular for both accessibility and aesthetics. They require proper floor slope and a linear or point drain — we handle the full waterproofing and drain design.
Is Pegasus Construction licensed and insured in Illinois?
Yes. We carry full general liability insurance and are licensed as a general contractor in Illinois and the City of Chicago.
