Walk-In Showers for Clermont Homes, With a Low Step and a Seat

Some people in Clermont start looking after a close call stepping over the tub wall. Others want a bathroom that will still be easy to use years from now, whether their home is near the Citrus Tower or out toward Lake Louisa State Park. Either way, the goal is the same: a shower you walk into, not one you climb into.

For a Clermont home, a walk-in shower takes the place of an old tub or stall. The new Jacuzzi® shower has a low or barrier-free way in, so there is no high side to lift a leg over. A built-in seat is an option, and grab bars can sit right where your hands land. Its grout-free, antimicrobial walls help cut down on mold and mildew buildup in a Clermont bathroom. You pick the wall type and color, the base and its color, and the fixture colors. There have been three jobs in Clermont so far: two shower replacements and a bathtub replacement. One of those showers, from 2023, has Sandshell Beige walls in a random stone pattern, Brushed Nickel fixtures and an exposed roller door.

Clermont sits about 22 miles west of Orlando, in rolling hills that are rare on the Florida peninsula. What shapes your walk-in shower, though, is inside your own bathroom. Look at what you have now: a tub, a tub with a shower head, or a separate stall. Notice where you grab for balance when you step in. Think about whether a seat would make your mornings easier. Those few details tell a designer most of what they need.

There is no set price, because the job is quoted in your home after the space is seen. It depends on how big the shower or tub area is and how it is laid out, plus the base, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish you choose. A seat, shelves or grab bars each add a little to the scope. When the existing shape fits, a custom pan can be made. The quote covers both the product and the installation.

Step one is a phone call to pick a day for the visit. A designer from Love Your Bath visits your Clermont home, listens to what you want, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. All homeowners should plan to attend. From there, the colors, finishes and safety features are your choice. On the install date, the old shower or tub comes out and the new one goes in. The installers are primarily W-2 employees, the company's own people rather than mostly outside crews.

When the work is finished, the bathroom looks like the same room with a much better shower. Getting in is a small step. There is a seat if you want one and something solid to hold. Kelly M. described her own swap like this: "Love your bath did an amazing job of replacing our bathtub with a shower."
