Ready to trade an unused bathtub for an easy walk-in shower?
What a tub-out, walk-in shower-in job involves for Daytona Beach, FL homes, and what the cost hinges on.
Your Daytona Beach bathroom has a tub you rarely fill, and stepping over it every day has worn thin. You have pictured a walk-in shower in that space more than once. The two questions holding you back are simple: how big a job is this, and what will it take?
Removing a tub for a walk-in shower is not a gut job. The old tub comes out, and a Jacuzzi® shower base and wall system are fitted into that same space. Since the shower takes the tub's place, the floor, vanity and the rest of the room stay where they are. What you gain is a low or barrier-free entry, room for a built-in seat, and grab bars placed where they help.
The cost comes down to your space and your choices. A bigger or unusually shaped tub area takes more than a standard one. On top of that come the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and any extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. Custom pans are made when the shape of the space allows. Since each bathroom is different, the quote is given at your home, and it covers both the product and the installation.
Start with a quick walk-through of your own bathroom. Note the spots where you or a family member reach for support, and whether a seat would help. Then ask Love Your Bath for a design visit in Daytona Beach. The designer listens, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote you can take your time with. The company asks all homeowners to attend. Avoid tearing out the tub yourself first; leave the space as it is for the visit.
When the job is done, the tub is gone for good and a walk-in shower stands in its spot. Stepping in feels like walking through a doorway. The shower carries a lifetime warranty that covers you for as long as you own the home. Caleb summed up his own experience: "Great products, great customer service and great installation."
What people in Daytona 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."

I was in sales and he was wonderful and he was the reason I went with you guys. He was just a wonderful sales person but your contractors 10 stars as well as your sales rep. I will definitely keep those guys around because they are awesome."

Other things people in Daytona 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.
