Ready to take out the tub and put a walk-in shower in its place?
Removing a bathtub for a walk-in shower in Altamonte Springs, FL: what the job involves and what sets the price.
Maybe the tub in your Altamonte Springs home hasn't held a bath in years. It is just a high wall you climb over to shower, whether you live in Altamonte Ridge, Autumn Run or Capistrano. You are ready to see it go, but you want a straight answer on how big the job is before you call anyone.
Removing a bathtub to make a walk-in shower is called a tub-to-shower conversion. The tub comes out, and a Jacuzzi® shower base and wall system goes into the same space. The entry can be low or barrier-free, so there is no wall to lift your leg over. Very low-profile custom pans are made when the existing shape fits. It feels like a big change, but the work stays in that one corner of the room.
What you pay depends on the space and on your picks. The size and layout of the tub area matter, plus the base, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish. A seat, shelves or grab bars add to it. Your floor, vanity and the rest of the room are not part of the job, which keeps the scope tight. The work itself can be done in as little as one day. Aklima H. said hers "took one extra day," and that can happen, though it is rare.
This week, skip the measuring tape and the shopping trips. Just jot down what bothers you about the tub now and who uses it. Then call Love Your Bath and book a designer visit at a time when all homeowners can be there. The designer listens, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote that covers the product and the installation. Do not pay anyone to tear out the tub first. Leave the old unit in place until your plan is set.
Once it is done, the tub wall is gone. You walk straight into the shower and can sit down on a built-in seat to wash your feet. Grab bars are where you asked for them. The walls wipe down with no grout to scrub. Your bathroom keeps its floor and vanity, and it simply works better for the way you live now.
What people in Altamonte Springs say
"Max and *** our installers did a great job. The shower and tub to walk in shower they installed are beautiful and we are so happy with their professionalism. We will recommend them to everyone."
"Triston Saxton was the installer of our Jacuzzi shower system. He was phenomenal!! Though the job took one extra day, he was so kind and patient with explaining the reasons, he was also very neat and courteous while working. He even came back later to adjust the door after we had issues with it, after installation was completed. I would recommend Tristan and the team at Love Your Bath!"
"Had a great experience. Kyle discovered a problem and with the help of the Manager was able to solve it and finished a beautiful conversion to a walk in shower !"
Other things people in Altamonte Springs ask
alternative to a walk-in tub for the elderly
The most common alternatives are a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry, a tub-to-shower conversion, and adding a built-in seat and grab bars. Each one removes the climb over the tub wall. A designer can show you all of them side by side at home and quote the one that fits.
least expensive way to replace a shower
The lowest-cost way to get a real new shower is to replace just the shower: a new base and wall system installed over a cleaned-out space, with no full gut. That is what we do with Jacuzzi® shower systems, and most jobs take as little as one day.
