Tub or walk-in shower: which one fits your home better?
An honest way to think about a tub-to-shower conversion for your Cape Coral, FL home.
You are torn, and that is completely normal. A walk-in shower would make every day easier in your Cape Coral home, but part of you still feels a house should have a tub. You may also wonder what a buyer would think someday if the tub is no longer there.
Most of the worry here comes from two questions. Will you miss the tub? And will the house be harder to sell without it? The first depends on how you use the bathroom now. The second depends on the rest of the home. If there is another tub elsewhere in the house, buyers who want one still have it. If not, think about who is likely to live there next.
The work itself is a focused change. The tub is removed, and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower is installed with the wall type, base and fixture colors you pick. A built-in seat, shelves and grab bars are options, and you can choose a barrier-free shower. The work stays in the wet area. Price depends on the size of the space and the choices you make, and the free quote includes the product and installation.
Look at who uses this bathroom now, and who may in the next few years. A shower with a low entry is easier to step into. A tub carries more weight for a family with small children.

What people in Cape Coral say
"Had a Garden Tub to Walk in shower conversion . Tristan was the installer. He did this 2 day job by himself . I was very impressed with his skills during demo and install in a 3rd floor condo incased in concrete. He had to break out the jack hammer to complete the drain. Once completed the Shower is awesome. Thank you Paul G"

Other things people in Cape Coral ask
cost to convert a bathtub to a shower
The cost depends on the size of the space, the shower base and wall style you choose, and any safety features like a seat or grab bars. Because we replace just the tub and not the whole room, it costs far less than a full remodel. You get an exact, free quote at the design visit.

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.
