A shower remodel is one room and one decision, not a whole-house gut, which makes it the easiest bathroom job to sell on Facebook and the easiest one to price wrong. Here is what shower leads actually cost, what pulls that number around, and why the offer decides more than the targeting does.
A shower gets replaced because someone finally got tired of it. The grout cracked years ago. The mildew comes back a week after every scrub. The pan has been weeping into the subfloor since before anyone meant to deal with it. People live with all of that far longer than they admit, and then something tips it over.
What tips it is usually specific. A parent moves in and the only full bath still has a tub wall to climb over. A knee gives out. Someone prices it out for the first time and finds a tub-to-shower conversion is nowhere near what a full bathroom remodel costs. None of those homeowners were shopping last week. All of them are ready the week it happens.
That is why the two jobs advertise differently. A tub-to-shower conversion is a smaller ask, so it draws cheaper leads from homeowners who would scroll straight past a full remodel ad. A custom tile shower closes for more but asks the homeowner to commit to choices. Run them as one ad and you get the wrong half of both. The tile client we run brought in $23,673 in booked revenue in the first three weeks because the ad matched the job they wanted, not because the targeting was clever.
The honest answer is that it depends, but you deserve a real range instead of "it varies." Our shower and tile campaigns have run as low as $20 per lead on top-performing ads, and a realistic planning range is $60 to $150 depending on your market. For one tile client, the best-performing shower ad brought leads in around $20 each, and that account has averaged $61.99 per lead across 291 leads.
For a custom tile shower or tub-to-shower job that closes in the thousands, even a handful of those leads turning into signed contracts pays for the entire month of ad spend many times over. If you want the budget floors and the learning-phase math behind that range, we lay out what a remodeling lead actually costs on its own page.
A few things move that number up or down:
A dense metro with a dozen bath and shower companies all advertising costs more per lead than a quieter suburban market. More competition means higher ad auction prices. It doesn't mean Meta won't work, it just means your offer and creative have to be sharper to stand out.
A simple tub-to-shower conversion often draws cheaper leads than a full custom tile shower, because the commitment feels smaller to the homeowner, but the custom job closes for more. We tune targeting around the projects you actually want, because a cheap lead for a job you don't want is more expensive than a slightly pricier lead that turns into a full tile build.
This is the biggest lever, and it's the one most contractors get wrong. The same budget and the same audience can produce a $25 lead or a $90 lead depending entirely on the ad. A scroll-stopping shower transformation video with a real reason to act will always beat a stock photo and a generic "call us for a free quote."
Not a case study we made up. Real ads, real spend, real booked work.
Vancouver Tile Pros is a tile-focused remodeler serving Clark County, SW Washington, and the Portland metro. Founded in 2019 with 8+ years of tile experience, they're rated 4.9 out of 5 by 57 Pacific Northwest homeowners. Their showers and custom tile work are their bread and butter, so the before-and-after was doing half the selling for us.
We built the campaign around exactly that: video ads showing tired, dated showers turned into clean custom tile, paired with an offer built to stand out in their market. In the first three weeks of running Meta ads, they brought in $23,673 in booked revenue. Over the first three months, the campaign drove $130,000 in revenue, and the best-performing ad brought leads in around $20 each.

"They have fantastic quality and attention to detail. Their craftsmanship is off the charts."
"What a great job Yaro and Rick did on our backsplash! They were super professional and very prompt!"
Early on, the fastest way to get a shower campaign working was a straight discount. And it worked, for a while. But discounts have a shelf life. Once one bath remodeler in a market runs "$1,500 off your new shower," everyone copies it within a few months.
Suddenly every ad in the feed looks the same, the discount stops standing out, and all it does is train homeowners to shop for the lowest price. That's a race to the bottom, and it's a bad place for a contractor who does quality tile work to be.
So we changed our approach. Instead of racing competitors to the bottom on price, we build each shower client a custom offer designed around what makes their business different, not a discount anyone can copy.
We won't spell out the exact offers here, because the whole point is that they're built to stand apart from whatever your competitors are running. But the idea is simple: give homeowners a reason to choose you that has nothing to do with being the cheapest.
You get the same lead volume, better-quality homeowners, and an offer your competition can't just screenshot and steal. And if you also do full kitchen and bath remodels, we build offers that steer homeowners toward those bigger jobs too.
Shower remodeling has a rhythm, and most contractors either ignore it or let it run their business for them. Interest climbs in late winter and early spring, when homeowners are stuck inside staring at the shower they hate and tax refunds start landing. It stays strong through summer, when people finally have the time and the budget to tackle the project.
The mistake we see remodelers make is going quiet in the slow stretches and then scrambling to turn ads back on when they're already swamped. That's backwards. The smartest play is to keep a presence year round and lean into the seasons deliberately.
In the slower months, ads are cheaper and competition thins out. That's the time to fill your winter and early-spring schedule at a lower cost per lead, so you're booked solid before the busy season even starts.
Unlike outdoor trades, shower work is an interior job, so weather barely slows it down. That's an advantage most bath remodelers waste. While the exterior guys go dark in the rainy season, you can keep a steady flow of shower estimates coming in year round.
We build campaigns that flex with the calendar instead of fighting it, so your slow months get quieter for the right reason: because you're already full.
If you've bought leads from Angi, HomeAdvisor, or a similar service, you already know the problem. The lead you just paid for was sold to three or four other shower remodelers at the same time. You're not calling a homeowner who chose you. You're racing to be the first of five to call a stranger who filled out a form to compare prices.
That's the core difference. Lead-selling apps sell shared leads. Your own Meta campaign generates exclusive leads that belong only to you. The homeowner saw your ad, your tile work, your reviews, and reached out to you specifically. You're not the cheapest of four or five quotes, you're the company they already trust.
The math matters too. A shared lead might look cheaper up front, but when you factor in how many you have to buy to win one job, because you're splitting every lead with competitors, the real cost per signed shower job is usually higher. With your own campaign, every lead is yours, your close rate goes up, and you're building your brand in the market instead of renting someone else's.
There's a place for both, especially early on. But if you want predictable, exclusive leads that don't have your competitors' phone numbers attached to them, your own Meta ads win almost every time.
From the offer to the ads to the leads. Your only job is to answer the phone and quote the work.
We create a custom offer for your shower remodeling business, designed around what makes you different, so homeowners choose you over the contractor running the same tired "money off" discount.
We script, create, and edit the video ads for you, built around the before-and-after that makes a shower remodel sell itself, old fiberglass tub to clean custom tile. Don't want to be on camera? We use customer-voice ads, voiceover, or our proven footage.
A clean, custom page with a step-by-step form that shows your best tile work, builds trust, and screens out renters and price shoppers so the homeowners who reach you own their home and are serious about getting a shower estimate.
We set up, launch, and optimize your Meta ads daily, watching cost per lead and killing what doesn't work, so your estimates stay consistent and predictable while you run the business.
If your business reaches past the bathroom, we run the same kind of campaigns for window replacement contractors, and for outdoor work like decks.
