I think the closest you'll be able to find might be a 48" x 36". If that's the case, the enclosure, base and shower door would be around $500 on up depending on how fancy of door you want. Unless you find a shower that's the same size as your tub, you're also going to have a lot of cosmetic repairs to the walls & floor as well. Could run you as much as $3,000 if you're hiring all the work to be done.

That's what I was afraid of. I've also seen a couple companies offer shower/tub "covers" - basically a custom fiberglass base/wall that go over the original unit, that gives it an updated look.
Meh..this is sounding more trouble than its worth.
