2026 floor-only numbers — no full-remodel pricing in disguise.
A standard shower-floor replacement in West Hartford — removal, substrate check, waterproofing, new tile, epoxy grout and seal — typically runs $1,000 to $2,000. Add a full pan rebuild and you're at $1,500–$2,800; add a linear drain or curbless conversion and $2,500–$4,500. The floor is small, so tile choice moves the total less than the substrate condition does.

| Linear drain / curbless | $2,500–$4,500 |
| Re-seal / re-joint repair | $200–$500 |

In West Hartford the pan is the price question: Elmwood two-families and West End colonials alike: original tub walls with character worth saving, but grout and caulk past rescue. Regrout-plus-seal is the preservation move; full surround re-tile is the reset button. We answer it free at assessment with meter readings and a flood-test recommendation when warranted — then the quote is fixed.
