What does a shower to tub conversion cost if you're aging in place?
This page is for seniors aging in place who want a tub back. Here is what shapes the cost of a shower-to-tub conversion.
You are aging in place, and your bathroom has only a shower. Now you want a tub back, for soaking, for the kids, or for resale. Before you call anyone, you want to know what a Jacuzzi® tub in that spot would cost. A tub also has to be safe to get into, and that changes the answer.
If you are aging in place and your home only has a shower, getting a tub back is a real project. Maybe you want to soak sore muscles. Maybe the kids visit, or a future buyer will want a tub. A tub is a different fixture than a shower. It takes more room, and getting in and out matters more as the years go by.
There is no single number, because no two bathrooms are the same. The price depends on the size and layout of your shower space. It depends on the tub you pick: a classic alcove tub, a deep-soaking tub, or a walk-in tub. Wall style and finish, fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars all count. For a walk-in tub, the size and the comfort features you choose matter too. The work stays on the shower area only, not the whole room.
This week, skip the guesswork. Call Love Your Bath and set up a visit. A designer comes to your home and listens. You talk about what you want, how you move around the bathroom, and who will use the tub. Then you get a custom plan with options and a free quote. The quote includes the product and the installation. Ask every question you have. The visit is free to set up, and the quote is free.
When it is done, the shower is gone and a tub is in its place, with a wall surround in the style you picked. If you chose a walk-in tub, you step in through a low entry and sit on a built-in seat, with grab bars close by. Ed D. wrote, "Great job done in one day." Installs take as little as one day. Some take a second day, rarely.

Other questions about shower-to-tub conversion for seniors aging in place
is it a good idea to convert a tub to a shower
Think about who uses the bathroom today and in the next few years. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. A tub matters more to families with small children. If the home has another tub, converting one is rarely a problem. Our designer will talk it through with you before you decide.
do i need a permit to change a tub to a shower
Permit rules in Florida are set by your city or county. Ask at your free design visit whether your job needs a permit, so it is settled before work starts.
