Taking out your only tub: will you regret it later?
Help deciding whether a tub-to-shower conversion is right for your house in Clermont, FL.
Your Clermont home has one tub, and lately it gets used as a shower with a high wall to climb over. Swapping it for a walk-in shower sounds great on a stiff morning. On a calmer day, you wonder about the next buyer, the grandkids who visit, and whether you are giving up something you will want back.
The question really comes down to who uses the bathroom. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into than a tub. A tub matters more to families with small children. If your house has a second tub somewhere else, converting this one is rarely a problem. If it is the only one, think about who lives with you now and who will in the next few years. That honest look settles most of the worry.
The job takes out the tub and sets a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower in the same space. Nothing outside the wet area changes. You choose the base, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish, plus extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. Those choices, along with the size and layout of the space, are what the price rests on. One Clermont shower replacement from 2024 has a fold-down seat, a pivot door and Chrome fixtures.
This week, picture the bathroom three years from now. Who is using it, and how do they get in? Talk it over with everyone who owns the home. Then book a free design visit with Love Your Bath, where all homeowners are asked to be present. The designer takes in what you want and puts together a custom plan with options and a free quote, so you can weigh a real plan instead of a guess. Until then, leave the tub where it is.
Whatever you choose, you choose it on purpose. If the shower goes in, the install is done mainly by the company's own crews, and the tub wall becomes a low step. K M. summed up a tub to shower conversion simply: "He did a great job and we are very happy with the result."
What people in Clermont say
"Our Tub to Shower and full redesign turned out beautifully. Thanks to Samuel R. For his attention to detail and craftsmanship. Materials appear first class. My wife and I are very pleased/happy."
"Had an install awhile ago, and I'll just leave it at that.. well we had to have them come back to fix a HUGE mess up.. ANGELA had come out and was on time,, very professional, knew what she was doing, did the job as if it was her own home. Un like the original installers. She was super all the way around. Wish we would have had her do the original install as it would have been right the first time for sure. In a so called man's world for this type of work, she could run circles around some of the guys. She even cleaned up and didn't leave a mess"
"My experience with the installer , *** was excellent. He is a caring gentleman that did everything to please (me) the customer. He informed me step by step what was being done. Constantly telling me to come and check at anytime. I could not have asked for a better installer. I hope the company knows what kind of worker they have. On a scale of 1-10 without a doubt I rate his work a 10"
Other things people in Clermont 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.
