Lanham is an unincorporated community in Prince George's County, Maryland, just east of Washington, D.C., where US-50 and MD-193 meet the neighborhoods of Greenbelt, Bowie and New Carrollton.
The housing here is mostly 1960s and 1970s subdivisions — split-levels and brick colonials on quiet residential streets, many still carrying their original tubs, valves and tile.
That is where Being Sauna comes in. We connect Lanham homeowners with vetted local wet-area specialists, publish honest planning ranges up front, and arrange a free in-home assessment with a written quote — no pressure to sign on the day.
In short: Bathroom remodeling in Lanham, MD covers the wet area — tub-to-shower conversions ($8,500–$17,000), shower replacement ($7,500–$15,000), walk-in showers ($9,000–$18,000) and tub replacement ($6,500–$13,000). Vetted local specialists serve Lanham and ZIP 20706. Call (833) 334-4470.
Six services, one specialty — the tub and shower. Each card links to its full guide, and the ranges below are what Lanham homeowners actually budget against. For the full picture across all our bathroom remodeling services, start here, then follow the guide that matches your room.
The most common Lanham request starts with a step. A 1960s split-level tub, or a tired unit in a brick colonial, comes out and a low-entry shower goes into the same footprint. The pan, valve and drain are renewed together, and blocking for future grab bars goes in while the wall is open.
For showers that have simply worn out: grout that keeps darkening, a valve dulled by hard water, or a pan tired after decades of daily use. Pan, valve and walls are replaced together, and the drain below is checked while the old unit is out.
A low-entry shower with a bench, anchored grab bars and controls within reach makes a Lanham split-level or colonial work for the long term. Blocking for bars goes into real structure behind the tile, and the layout keeps the room feeling open, not clinical.
Many Lanham families still need a proper tub — for small children, for a long soak, or for a home where the one full bath must do everything. A deeper modern tub with fresh plumbing and a sealed surround, usually fitted inside two days.
Bought a shower-only Lanham home, then the family grew? A proper tub returns as a tub-shower combination, plumbed and sealed for decades of daily use. The footprint rarely changes; the plumbing underneath and the waterproofing behind the walls do.
Whole-room reworks for the Lanham baths that have never been touched since they were built, or where tub and shower both need reworking at once. One project, one written quote, wet area first — with ventilation and storage put right in the same pass.
A tub-to-shower conversion turns the hardest step in a Lanham split-level home into a low-entry shower — pan, valve and drain renewed together.
Lanham sits in the Prince George's County contractor market, with crews working routes from Greenbelt, Bowie, Glenn Dale, Seabrook, College Park and New Carrollton. Most jobs land in the middle of these ranges, and the spread comes from the house, not the ZIP.
A simple alcove swap in a 1960s split-level is an easier job than a home whose drain must move, a colonial whose framing has softened under years of humidity, or a room with awkward split-level plumbing. The upper half of a range is priced in the written quote before work begins. For the method behind every figure, see the 2026 bathroom remodeling cost guide.

| Tub-to-shower conversion | $8,500 – $17,000 |

Planning ranges based on published national installer pricing (2026), for budgeting guidance — not quotes. Compare quotes on what they cover: pan, valve and drain together. The cheapest number often leaves a worn drain or tired valve behind new walls. Full methodology: the 2026 cost guide.
Lanham is an unincorporated Prince George's County community, and its bathrooms reflect that setting: 1960s and 1970s subdivisions, split-levels and brick colonials, all on public water and sewer. Four local factors shape every wet-area project here.
Lanham housing is dominated by 1960s and 1970s subdivisions built as the county grew — split-levels with a bath on each level, and brick colonials with a single full family bath. Many original baths survive untouched, especially in homes that have had one owner for decades.
That age shapes the job. Original tubs are heavy to remove and often hide tired drains and valves. Split-level layouts can mean awkward drain runs between levels, so the layout and the plumbing path are mapped before tile goes up.
Lanham homes run on public water and sewer through WSSC, which simplifies the remodel — no septic limits on fixture choice and no well-water treatment to work around. Hard water is the local wrinkle instead, leaving scale on valves, showerheads and fixtures over time.
A fixture chosen without checking pressure and drain condition will not perform as promised, so the assessment confirms both before anything is ordered. Valves dulled by scale are renewed with the pan and drain, not left behind new walls.
Lanham summers bring heat, humidity and afternoon storms, while winters bring freezes that test exposed pipes. Work is sequenced around weather forecasts, and deliveries are confirmed before demolition starts, so a half-open bathroom never waits on a truck.
Humid Maryland summers test the fan, not the tile. A bathroom that cannot clear its own steam will grow problems behind new walls, so the duct path is checked to make sure damp air leaves the house instead of settling in a wall cavity.
Lanham centers on the US-50 and MD-193 corridors, with Greenbelt Park and the College Park area a short drive away and New Carrollton close by. The corridors keep material deliveries simple, while the residential streets behind them stay quiet.
For most Lanham subdivision homes, the remodel conversation is straightforward: standard alcove layouts and easy material access. Mention a split-level layout or a second-floor bath at the first call, so the visit is planned with the right crew and materials.

Nothing fancy — just four things that help the specialist price your Lanham bath on the first visit. Know the home type: split-level, brick colonial or another subdivision build. Note the water and sewer setup and any history of slow drains, temperature swings, or damp around the tub.
Measure the rough footprint and note whether a second bath exists, so the household keeps a wash-up option during the work. Decide which outcome matters most — a safer step-in shower, a deeper tub, or a full-room rework — so the quote prices the right job first.

We publish planning ranges on every page. No “call for price”, no games — you budget before anyone visits.
The price you sign is the price you pay. Quotes are written, itemised and valid beyond the day of the visit — take your time deciding.
Installers are independent local contractors checked for licensing, insurance and wet-area specialisation before they take a single Being Sauna job — including experience with hard water, split-level plumbing and Prince George's County homes.
The biggest complaint in this industry is the same-day pressure close. Our specialists are instructed the opposite way: measure, explain, quote in writing, and leave the decision to you.
Call (833) 334-4470 or send the assessment form. Tell us the town, the bath, and whether the home is a split-level or a brick colonial — that is all the booking needs.

Most wet-area projects finish in one to three days, with the house left clean and the new shower or tub demonstrated before the crew leaves.

Usually tired valves, original drains and framing that has lived with decades of humid summers. Supply lines from the original build often need renewal, and older fans sometimes vent into the attic instead of outside. Split-level layouts can also hide awkward drain runs between levels. The assessment maps all of it before work starts, so the written quote covers the renewal instead of discovering it mid-job.
It simplifies the job. Lanham homes run on public water and sewer through WSSC, so fixture choice is rarely limited by system capacity the way a septic home is. The assessment still confirms the setup on the day, checks water pressure and drain condition, and prices the system that is actually there. Hard-water scale on valves and showerheads is the more common Lanham issue.
Yes, and sealing is where the difference shows. Humid summers and splash exposure punish weak seams, so every joint and penetration is sealed for sustained damp, not just daily splashes. The Lanham assessment also checks the ventilation path and fan capacity, so the new shower dries properly between uses instead of trapping moisture behind tile.
