Whether you are flipping a property or refreshing the family bathroom, the first question is always the same: “What will it cost?” When it comes to a new shower liner, homeowners need clear, data-driven numbers. CountBricks delivers exactly that, combining real-time material pricing, local labor rates and blueprint takeoffs into an instant, voice-activated estimate. Below, our residential construction pros break down every line item so you can budget with confidence.
• Liner material (acrylic, PVC, solid-surface, cultured marble)
• Shower size and wall height
• Condition of existing substrate and waterproofing
• Plumbing or valve relocation
• Complexity of trim, niches and accessories
• Local labor market and union requirements
• Permit, debris disposal and site protection
Acrylic & PVC Liners
• Lowest material cost, wide color range
• Expect $200–$450 for a standard 60″ kit
Solid-Surface Panels
• Mid-tier cost, grout-free stone appearance
• Average $900–$1,300 for a 3-wall set
Cultured Marble & High-End Composites
• Premium cost, seamless look, custom sizing
• $1,500–$2,800+ depending on thickness
Installing a liner is more than “glue and go.” Residential crews must demo existing tile, level walls and set new backer boards. Typical labor hours:
• Basic tub alcove: 8–12 crew hours
• Oversized walk-in: 14–20 crew hours
• Custom niches or bench: +3–5 hours
• Moisture damage repair once old tile is removed
• Upgrading valves to pressure-balance code
• Moving the drain for curbless conversions
• Overnight accommodations if the only bathroom is offline

1. Skill level: If you have limited carpentry or plumbing experience, a professional installer prevents expensive leaks.
2. Tools: Wet saws, laser levels and mixing paddles cost more than a day of skilled labor.
3. Warranty: CountBricks-certified contractors back workmanship with written guarantees.
4. Time: Weekend warriors take 2–3 times longer, extending bathroom downtime.
5. Safety: Proper PPE, dust control and scaffold use are essential on tight residential sites.

When the Martinez family bought their 1980s ranch, the master bath still sported avocado tile and a leaky fiberglass pan. They wanted a modern, grout-free look but feared runaway costs. Using the CountBricks mobile app, their contractor performed a three-minute voice walkthrough and captured:
• Wall dimensions and valve locations
• Subfloor moisture readings
• Desired accessories: two niches and a corner seat
AI-Generated Estimate
Within 90 seconds CountBricks returned a line-item bid of $4,275, including a premium cultured-marble liner, moisture-resistant backer board and chrome fixtures. The homeowners received the branded PDF before the team left the driveway.
