Homeowners dreaming of a spacious spa-like bathroom often start with one big question: what is the cost of double shower installation? CountBricks has generated thousands of AI-driven estimates for upscale bathrooms, so our team has clear data on what drives pricing, where savings hide, and how to prevent budget creep.
• Framing and waterproofing upgrades for larger floor area
• Dual plumbing lines, valves, and drains
• Premium glass panels and dual doors
• High-end tile or stone finishes over increased square footage
• Skilled labor for complex layouts and recessed niches
CountBricks residential projections show nationwide averages landing between $12,000 and $23,500 for a complete double shower retrofit. In high-demand metro zones or luxury communities, we have tracked totals surpassing $30,000, especially when homeowners request body sprays, digitally controlled thermostatic valves, or custom etched glass.
Every budget line in a CountBricks estimate is built from realtime material pricing and trade labor rates in your ZIP code. Below is a distilled example of how the platform allocates cost percentages for a common 6' x 4' double shower conversion:
• Demolition and disposal – 7%
• Structural reinforcement – 5%
• Plumbing rough-in – 18%
• Electrical (lighting, exhaust) – 4%
• Waterproofing membrane – 6%
• Tile or stone supply – 22%
• Glass, hardware, seals – 16%
• Finish carpentry and paint – 3%
• Labor overhead and project management – 19%
Because CountBricks pulls supplier feeds every morning, a rise in tempered glass pricing or a promotional discount on porcelain tile immediately updates your line-item totals. No more outdated spreadsheets or guesswork.
Many homeowners assume they can simply multiply a single shower budget by two. In reality, several hidden complexities push the multiplier higher:
• Water supply must handle simultaneous users without pressure drop.
• Drains and slopes need redesign to comply with code.
• Larger glass spans require thicker panes and added bracing.
• Tile waste increases because of diagonal layouts and bench details.
• Extended construction timeline means higher labor overhead.
1. Choose a semi-frameless enclosure instead of full frameless for up to 15% glass savings.
2. Opt for large format porcelain instead of natural stone to reduce material and labor hours.
3. Keep plumbing on one wall to avoid re-routing vent stacks.
4. Schedule the project in a contractor’s shoulder season and negotiate reduced mobilization fees.
5. Use CountBricks.com/services to compare live supplier quotes before signing purchase orders.
1. Open the CountBricks mobile app and select “Bathroom Remodel.”

5. Convert the estimate into a branded proposal for client signature in seconds.
CountBricks benchmark data shows licensed plumbers and tile setters command the largest share of double shower labor cost. A typical timeline follows:
• Day 1-2 – Demo and rough framing
• Day 3-5 – Plumbing and electrical rough-in
• Day 6-7 – Waterproofing cure time
• Day 8-12 – Tile set and grout
• Day 13 – Glass measurement
• Day 18 – Glass install and punch list
Using our task-level Gantt charts, contractors can reorder certain trades to overlap and shave two to three days, translating to real savings in supervision and portable sanitation rentals.
According to CountBricks resale analysis, an upscale double shower returns 60-70% of its cost at sale in most residential markets, with faster absorption rates in homes built after 1990. Builders who include a double shower as a spec upgrade report higher buyer satisfaction scores and reduced option fatigue.
The cost of double shower installation is influenced by design vision, regional labor swings, and daily material price shifts. CountBricks removes uncertainty by fusing realtime supplier data, local trade rates, and AI-driven takeoffs into one clear, sharable estimate. Whether you are a general contractor preparing a competitive proposal or a homeowner budgeting a dream bath, start with an accurate number on CountBricks.com and build with confidence.
When the Martinez family asked for a modern double shower in their 1980s home, local builder Horizon Homes partnered with CountBricks to keep numbers tight. Below is a condensed record of how the project unfolded.
• AI estimate generated in 12 minutes: $18,460
• Approved change orders (accent tile, handheld sprayers): +$1,925
• Final CountBricks invoice: $20,385
• Variance: 10.4% — well within the 12% contingency the homeowner set
• Glass – Switching from starphire to clear low-iron saved $1,120.
• Layout – Keeping both valves on the existing wet wall cut two labor days.
• Tile – Large format porcelain reduced install hours by 18%.
1. CountBricks Blueprint AI produced a ready-to-mark takeoff, letting the tile crew order materials before demo finished.
2. The plumber and electrician overlapped rough-ins thanks to CountBricks task sequencing.
3. Real-time chat alerts flagged an upcoming glass price hike, prompting early purchase and on-site storage.
“The final cost matched the first number we saw on the CountBricks screen,” Mrs. Martinez noted. “We loved watching the estimate update in real time when we added features. No surprises.”
