Can the old tub come out to make room for a walk-in shower?
How a tub-to-walk-in shower swap works in a Deltona, FL home, and what decides the size and cost.
In your Deltona home, the tub takes up a whole wall and gets used as a place to stand while you shower. You have thought about trading it for a walk-in shower. What you do not know is how much work that means, how long the bathroom will be out of use, or what drives the cost.
Yes, the tub can come out, and the job is smaller than many people fear. The tub is removed and a Jacuzzi® shower base and wall system go right into that space. The shower uses the same spot, so the rest of the bathroom is not part of the work. You get an entry that is low or barrier-free, plus room for a built-in seat and grab bars if you want them.
What shapes the job is the space and your choices. The size and layout of the tub area come first. Next are the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like shelves, a seat or grab bars. If the existing shape fits, a custom pan can be made for it. There is no one price, since the quote is done at your home and includes both the product and the installation.
Before the visit, think about who will use this shower every day. Would a seat help? Where should grab bars go? Then contact Love Your Bath and set up a design visit in Deltona. The designer listens, builds a custom plan with options, and gives you a free quote. All homeowners are asked to sit in on it. For reference, Deltona has had two shower replacements and a bathtub replacement so far. Leave the tub in place until after the visit.
On install day, the work is done mainly by the company's own installers, who are primarily W-2 employees. By the time they leave, the tub is gone and a walk-in shower is ready to use, with the floor and vanity untouched around it. George K. explained how his project began: "My wife and I decided we wanted to do a tub to shower conversion."
What people in Deltona 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."
"My wife and I decided we wanted to do a tub to shower conversion. We saw advertisements for Jacuzzi by Love Your Bath and contacted them for a design consultation. Jim, the design consultant, arrived for the appointment on time and thoroughly explained the process. We decided to use the company and are proceeding with the project."
"The process was very easy and the installers were very professional and pleasant to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacuzzi for bathroom remodels"
Other things people in Deltona 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.
