Macungie is a Lehigh Valley borough southwest of Allentown on the PA-100 corridor, a small borough with a historic Main Street and 19th-century homes beside newer subdivisions.
Swabia Creek runs through the borough, with Macungie Memorial Park and Bear Swamp Park nearby, and a community feel that sits close to Allentown without being part of it.
For Macungie homeowners, Being Sauna arranges wet-area help: vetted local specialists, honest planning ranges published up front, and a free in-home assessment ending in a written quote.
In short: Bathroom remodeling in Macungie, Pennsylvania 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 Macungie and ZIP 18062. 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 Macungie homeowners actually plan around.
Start with the guide that matches your room, then compare it with the cost table further down the page. For the full picture, see all our bathroom remodeling services.
A Macungie family home often centers on a tub that gets used far less than a shower would. Swapping it for a low-entry shower removes the high step, and the pan, valve and drain are renewed together in the same footprint.
Years of daily showers wear a Macungie unit down: a valve that drifts, grout that darkens, or a pan at the end of its life. Pan, valve and walls are replaced together while the old unit is out.
A low-entry shower with a bench, anchored grab bars and controls within reach helps a Macungie home stay workable as needs change. Blocking for bars goes into real structure behind the tile.
Some Macungie households still want a real tub — for young children, for a long soak after a long day, or for a second bath that serves the whole house. A deeper modern tub usually fits inside two days.
A shower-only Macungie home can get a tub back without moving walls. A tub-shower combination returns, with renewed plumbing underneath and waterproofing behind the walls, built for family use.
Whole-room reworks for Macungie baths where tub and shower both need reworking at once, or where a dated borough bath needs a fresh start. 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 high tub step in a Macungie family home into a low-entry shower — pan, valve and drain renewed together.
Macungie sits in the Lehigh Valley contractor market, with crews working the PA-100 corridor and the routes toward Allentown, Bethlehem and the smaller boroughs nearby.
Most jobs land in the middle of these ranges, and the spread comes from the house, not the ZIP. A simple alcove swap is an easier job than a 19th-century bath whose drain run needs work.
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.

Macungie is a Lehigh Valley borough southwest of Allentown on the PA-100 corridor, and its bathrooms reflect that mix: 19th-century homes near historic Main Street alongside newer subdivisions on the edges of town.
The Macungie service area covers about 27,110 people in ZIP 18062, between Allentown toward the northeast and the smaller Lehigh County boroughs toward the south and west.
Swabia Creek runs through the borough, and Macungie Memorial Park and Bear Swamp Park sit close by — the kind of small-town setting where a bathroom project is planned around the house, not around a showroom.
Macungie housing runs from 19th-century homes along Main Street to newer subdivisions on the borough edges. The older baths are often compact, with a hall bath and a primary bath sized for a modest footprint.
That layout shapes the job. A low-entry shower usually fits the existing alcove, so walls rarely move. Older homes add one extra check: supply lines and drains that deserve a look before new work goes in.
Water setups around Macungie are not all the same. Homes inside the borough generally connect to the public water system, while homes toward the edges of town and in the surrounding townships may use wells or septic systems.
The drain side deserves equal attention. A septic-served home needs its flow confirmed before new work goes in, and a slow line found while the room is open is far cheaper to fix than after new walls go up.
Macungie has warm, humid Lehigh Valley summers and cold winters, with spring rain testing every exterior wall. Summer humidity works hardest on bath ventilation, and a fan that vents properly keeps new tile and grout dry.
Winter cold adds a second check for pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces, especially in older homes. The assessment covers shut-offs and drainage before the first hard freeze, so a cold stretch never turns into a burst pipe.

Nothing fancy — just four things that help the specialist price your Macungie bath on the first visit. Know the home type: 19th-century home, Main Street house, newer subdivision home or a place outside the borough.
Note any history of slow drains, temperature swings, or damp around the tub. Bring a rough footprint measurement and note whether a second bath exists, so the household keeps a wash-up option during the work.
Settle which outcome matters most first — safer step-in shower, deeper tub, or full-room rework — so the quote prices the right job. For homes outside the borough, note the well or septic setup too.

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 older homes, Main Street houses and newer subdivisions.
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 neighborhood, the bath, and whether the home is a 19th-century home, a Main Street house or a newer subdivision home — that is all the booking needs.
A vetted local specialist measures the room, checks the valves, drain, ventilation and water setup, and explains the options in plain language. No charge, no obligation.
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.
Most wet-area projects in Macungie follow the planning ranges on this page: tub-to-shower conversions $8,500-$17,000, shower replacements $7,500-$15,000, walk-in showers $9,000-$18,000, bathtub replacements $6,500-$13,000, shower-to-tub conversions $7,500-$14,000 and full remodels $15,000-$35,000+.

They change the checks, not the goal. A 19th-century Macungie home may have older supply lines, a drain run worth inspecting, or a bath added long after the house was built. The assessment measures the room, checks the pan, valve and drain together, and prices the job for that house, not for a generic floor plan.
Often, yes. Many Macungie borough homes have compact baths, and a low-entry shower usually fits the existing tub alcove without moving walls. The assessment measures the alcove, checks the drain position and confirms the valve placement, then prices the swap as a same-footprint job whenever the layout allows it.
Yes, where they apply. Most Macungie homes in the borough use the public water system, but homes toward the edge of town and in the surrounding townships may use wells or septic systems. The assessment confirms the water setup, checks the drain and the fan, and prices any needed fix into the written quote while the room is open.
