Shower to tub conversion cost: what a veteran should know
Planning a shower-to-tub conversion as a veteran? Here is what shapes the price and how to get a real number.
You served, and now you want a bathtub where the shower is. Maybe it is for the kids, or for resale. Either way, you want to know what to expect before you call anyone. Here is what moves the number, and how to get a real one for your home.
You want a tub where the shower is now. That is a shower-to-tub swap. The shower comes out, a Jacuzzi® soaking tub goes in, and the walls around it get a new look in the style you pick. You may want it for kids in the house, or because a sale is coming. It can also give you a place to sit back and soak after a long day.
No honest number exists until someone sees the space. The price depends on the size and layout of your shower area, the tub you choose, and the wall style and finish. Extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars change it too. The work stays in the shower area only, and the rest of the room is left alone. Installs can take as little as one day, and some take a second day, rarely.
This week, ask for a design visit. A designer comes to your home, listens to what you want, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Love Your Bath does this for veterans too. Plan to be home for it, and ask about veteran savings then. The company's own words: "We're proud to offer special savings to veterans, first responders, teachers, and families of children with disabilities. Ask your Design Consultant for details." Whether VA benefits or grants apply depends on the person, so do not count on them.
Once it is done, you step into a bath instead of a shower. The new walls match the style you picked, and the quote covered the product and the installation. One Google reviewer, RicoLab S. wrote: "My disabled veteran family member was the reason we considered Love your Bath. In our situation Jerry was very reasonable in considering his needs and stood by his word."

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.
