Thinking of giving up the tub, or getting one back?
Help deciding on a shower-to-tub conversion for your Bonita Springs, FL home, before you commit either way.
You are weighing a tub against a shower, and you would hate to second-guess it later. Bonita Springs sees big seasonal swings, with snowbirds and tourists arriving mostly in the winter months. Whatever your own season looks like, the real question is who uses this bathroom and how.
It helps to know this choice is not a one-way street. Tubs can be swapped for showers, and showers swapped back for tubs, so you are not locked in for good. Still, nobody wants to do it twice. A tub suits small children and long soaks. A walk-in shower is easier to step into on an ordinary morning. The worry about resale mostly matters when a change would leave the house with no tub at all.
A tub going back into a shower space is a job limited to the wet area. The floor, the vanity and the cabinets stay where they are. What moves the size of the job is the space itself, the tub you choose, the walls and their finish, the fixtures, and extras like grab bars or a built-in seat. Slip-resistant surfaces are an option too, if steady footing is on your mind.
This week, list who bathes in that room now and who might in a few years: visiting grandkids, an older parent, or you after a long day at Barefoot Beach Preserve. If there is another tub in the home, converting this one rarely hurts. If not, get a second look in your own bathroom before you decide. Love Your Bath can have a designer come by to listen first, then lay out a custom plan with options and a free quote.
With the decision made, the bathroom works for your household instead of against it. In Bonita Springs, there have been two shower replacements and one bathtub replacement. As captjfish1 L. put it, "Courteous and professional. Excellent installation of the new shower bath and fixtures." You get to stop wondering and start using the room.
What people in Bonita Springs say
"We are very pleased with the bathroom renovation done by Jodeci. This man did not even take a break for lunch and worked until 6 p.m. both nights he was here. Our renovation became more complicated due to the Cast iron bath tub and the age of our house. Jodeci didn't flinch just kept working. So glad we chose Love Your Bath"
"Very happy with the shower. Marcel did great job I am extremely pleased and I would recommend love your bath to anyone."
"Courteous and professional. Excellent installation of the new shower bath and fixtures. I highly recommend Marcel and Love Your Bath."
