How is a Walk-In Shower Better Than Other Options?
You definitely have options when it comes to your bathroom remodel, and you need to allocate your budget properly and make sure you invest your money wisely. You want to make sure you get maximum enjoyment out of your shower, but also maximize your ROI relative relative to resale. Here are some compelling reasons why walk-in showers are the ultimate choice for discerning homeowners like you:
Walk in showers are all the rage now, and here are a few of the reasons:
1.Walk-In Showers are Spacious Yet Space-Saving:
One of the main advantages of walk-in showers is because they can not only make good use of a small space, but they are actually the preferred choice. Most of the
time, when you are maximizing space, whatever our solution you choose still feels cramped. Not so with Walk-In Showers. This bathroom remodel option will maximize space but actually makes for a far more spacious showering area. Even in smaller bathrooms, walk-in showers can create a more open feel because you don’t have to dedicate extra wall space to the shower walls, which makes your bathroom feel larger and more inviting.
2. Walk-In Showers Are Far More Accessible for ADA and Handicap Concerns
If you’re looking to age in place, help an older loved one do so, or simply value convenience, walk-in showers offer more accessibility than other options. With no bulky thresholds to step over, these showers are perfect for individuals of all ages and abilities, and give them and you a far more safe and comfortable bathing experience. Talk to one of our friendly designers about installing grab bars and other safe options.

Walk-In Showers in Southlake: What You Should Know
Southlake is one of the most affluent communities in North DFW, and the expectations that come with that are real. Homeowners in Timarron, Clariden Ranch, Estes Park, Monticello Estates, and other Southlake neighborhoods are not looking for a builder-grade shower conversion. They want custom tile work, frameless glass, premium fixtures, and craftsmanship that matches the rest of their home.
Modern Blu has completed walk-in shower installations throughout Southlake. Here is what differentiates what we do in this market from what you will find from a budget remodeler:
- Full waterproofing systems behind every tile installation, not just cement board. In a home at this price point, you cannot afford a moisture failure behind the wall two years after installation.
- Large-format tile (24×48, 12×24) that requires precision installation to look right—lippage and grout line inconsistency are unacceptable at this level.
- Frameless glass enclosures from fabricators we trust, not big-box glass. The difference in quality shows.
- Premium fixture packages—rain heads, body sprays, handheld, and thermostatic valve trim from brands like Kohler, Hansgrohe, or Brizo depending on your preference.
Walk-In Shower Costs in Southlake
Southlake homeowners typically invest more in walk-in shower projects than the DFW average, both because home sizes are larger and because finish expectations are higher. Here are realistic ranges for Southlake:
| Project Type | Typical Southlake Range |
|---|---|
| Tub-to-shower conversion (standard size, tile surround) | $8,000–$15,000 |
| Walk-in shower expansion (moving walls or drain) | $15,000–$25,000 |
| Custom frameless glass walk-in with large-format tile | $12,000–$22,000 |
| Full primary bath remodel including walk-in shower | $25,000–$55,000+ |
These numbers assume you are keeping the shower in the same location. Moving the drain or expanding the shower footprint into adjacent closet or bedroom space adds $5,000–$15,000 for structural and plumbing work.
Hard Water in Southlake: What It Means for Your Shower
The DFW water supply is notoriously hard—high in calcium and magnesium—and Southlake is no exception. Hard water leaves mineral deposits on glass and tile that look like etching or permanent clouding if not maintained. If you are investing in frameless glass and premium tile, plan for this:
- Use a squeegee on glass after every shower (seriously, this is the most effective maintenance step)
- Apply a professional glass sealant every 6–12 months
- Choose matte or textured tile finishes if you want low-maintenance walls—polished tile shows water spots
- Consider a whole-home water softener if you do not already have one—it protects fixtures, tile, and glass
Southlake Walk-In Shower FAQ
Is a walk-in shower or soaking tub better for resale in Southlake?
In Southlake specifically, walk-in showers are strongly preferred. Most primary bath buyers in this price range already have or plan to add a freestanding soaking tub separately, and prefer that a large, beautifully tiled walk-in shower be the centerpiece. Removing a dated tub-shower combo in favor of a custom walk-in shower with frameless glass is a net positive for resale in Southlake’s market.
How long does a walk-in shower installation take in Southlake?
A standard tub-to-shower conversion runs 1–2 weeks for installation. A custom walk-in shower with large-format tile, a built-in niche, bench, and frameless glass enclosure takes 2–4 weeks. Total project time from contract to completion is longer because custom glass typically has a 3–5 week fabrication lead time.
Can Modern Blu match my existing tile or design a coordinated bathroom?
Yes. We work with homeowners on both tile matching (for partial upgrades where the rest of the bathroom stays) and full design coordination for complete primary bath remodels. Our showroom in Flower Mound has a wide selection of tile samples, and we can order from our supplier catalog for virtually any specification.
Do I need a permit for a walk-in shower conversion in Southlake?
Any work involving plumbing modification in Southlake (moving a drain, adding a showerhead connection, installing a new valve) requires a permit from the City of Southlake. Modern Blu handles permit applications for all applicable projects.
