Should you keep the tub or trade it for a walk-in shower?
Sorting out whether a tub-to-shower conversion fits your home in Daytona Beach, FL, before you decide.
In your Daytona Beach home, the tub might be the only one in the house, and that is what makes you hesitate. A walk-in shower would make every morning easier. But you keep thinking about the family that buys the place someday, and whether you will wish the tub were still there.
There is no single right answer, and that is good news. Resale matters, but daily life matters too. The answer depends on the people who use the bathroom. A walk-in shower gives you an easier, safer way in than a tall tub wall. A tub carries more weight for a family with small children. If there is another tub in the home, converting one is rarely a problem. Think about who bathes here today, and who will over the next few years.
If you go ahead, the job is limited to the wet area. The tub comes out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes in where it was. It takes in as little as one day, and on rare occasions a second day. The price depends on the size and layout of the space, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars.
This week, sit down with the people who own the home and answer three questions. Who uses this bathroom? Is there another tub? Will small children be bathing here? Write the answers down. Then call Love Your Bath for a free design visit, and plan on all homeowners being there. A designer listens to what you want and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Bonnielynn G. wrote that the representative "answered every question we had."
Once you have decided, the worry goes quiet. If keeping a tub makes sense, that is a fine answer too. One 2024 bathtub replacement in Daytona Beach has smooth Crystal Frost walls and Brushed Nickel fixtures. If the shower wins, you step in instead of climbing over. Either way, the choice fits the people who actually use the room.
