Thinking of tearing out the tub for a walk-in shower?
How big a tub-to-walk-in shower job really is, and what the cost depends on, in Cocoa Beach, FL.
The tub in your Cocoa Beach bathroom mostly collects shampoo bottles, and climbing over it to shower is getting old. You would love a walk-in shower in that spot. What stops you is not knowing whether this is a weekend project, a month of chaos, or something in between. You also want to know what drives the cost before anyone shows up.
Swapping a tub for a walk-in shower is mostly a one-spot job. The tub is removed, and a Jacuzzi® shower base and wall system go into the same space. Because the new shower uses the tub's footprint, the rest of the bathroom does not have to change. You end up with a low or barrier-free way in, and you can add a built-in seat and grab bars. Floors, vanities and cabinets are left as they are.
How big the job gets depends on a few things. The size and layout of the tub space matter most. Then come your choices: the type of base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. A custom pan can be made when the existing shape fits. Every job is priced in the home, since no two bathrooms are alike, and the quote includes the product and the installation.
Before anyone measures, think about who will use this shower and what they need. A seat? Something to hold near the entry? A shelf at a height that saves bending? After that, schedule a design visit with Love Your Bath. A designer comes to your Cocoa Beach home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Each homeowner is asked to join that visit. Do not buy a shower kit online first and hope it fits the space.
On install day, the work is done mainly by the company's own crews, whose installers are primarily W-2 employees. When they leave, the tub is gone and a walk-in shower sits in its place. Kenneth S. wrote about his installer, "He even cleaned up and made everything look perfect."
What people in Cocoa Beach say
"Just had our walk in shower done by Love Your Bath, it is spectacular, far above what I imagined. Jose Castro was our installer and he is the best. He was meticulous, cleaned up after, and kept things on track as he and his helper kept the project going. The shower is just beautiful and I don’t have to clean grout anymore. Thank you Jose and Love Your Bath for a job well done. Could not be more pleased. Diane L."

Other things people in Cocoa Beach 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.
