In Canada, in 2026, the cost of renovating a walk-in shower generally ranges from $5,000 to $9,000 for a standard project, including materials and labour. For a high-end installation with premium materials, a linear drain, custom glass panels or built-in niches, costs can exceed $12,000. The final price depends mainly on the complexity of the waterproofing system, the choice of tile, the preparation of the subfloor and any required plumbing changes. For this type of project, it is recommended to hire a qualified contractor and, where applicable, licensed plumbing or electrical professionals to ensure the work complies with local building codes.
