Tub-to-shower conversions are not evenly distributed across this city, and the Census data shows why. The share of residents aged 65 and over runs from 8.3% in the 23219 zip to 23.8% in 23227, against a citywide figure of 14.1%. The 23226 zip is next at 20.4%, then 23225 at 16.4%. Those same two zips also have the highest owner-occupancy in the city — 74.2% in 23226 and 54.9% in 23227, against 43.5% citywide.
That combination is the whole story: the Northside and near West End have both the oldest residents and the highest proportion of people who own the home they are ageing in. It is also where the housing is oldest as a single cohort — 47.2% of homes in 23226 were built between 1940 and 1959. Original bathrooms, original step-over tubs, owners who intend to stay.
What usually limits the conversion is not the fixture but the drain. Removing a tub means relocating the waste to a shower position, and in older Richmond houses the available fall in a shallow floor structure is often the binding constraint. That is measurable before anything is committed, and it is the first thing we check.

A typical bathtub to shower conversion can take anywhere from 3 to 7 days, depending on the scope of the project and the materials used.
Yes, in most cases, because a conversion relocates a drain. Richmond's published fee schedule makes the cost checkable in advance: $63.00 for one- and two-family work up to $2,000 of value, then $63.00 plus $6.07 per thousand above that, plus a 2.0% state surcharge. On a $12,000 conversion that is roughly $141. The work is inspected against the 2021 Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, in effect since 18 January 2024. Our team can help you navigate the permitting process.
Yes, we offer custom shower design and layout services to ensure that your new shower meets your specific needs and preferences.
Rarely. Most Richmond bathrooms that feel too small for a shower are actually constrained by the drain, not the floor area — removing the tub frees more usable space than people expect. The real question is how much fall is available to move the waste to a new position, which depends on the floor structure. In the small pre-war houses of Oregon Hill and Church Hill that is genuinely tight; in post-war Northside and West End houses it usually is not.
Yes, because it changes what we recommend. Census estimates put the 65-and-over share at 23.8% in the 23227 zip and 20.4% in 23226, and owner-occupancy at 54.9% and 74.2% in those same zips — so a lot of this work in Richmond is being done by people who intend to stay put. If that is you, it is worth doing the conversion once, to a specification that still suits you in fifteen years, rather than twice.
