Taking out a shower for a tub: will you regret it later?
Help deciding on a shower-to-tub conversion for your home in Fort Myers, FL.
You are thinking about turning the shower in your Fort Myers home into a tub, and one worry keeps coming back. What if the people living there in a few years need that shower more than a bath? And what if a buyer would rather have it the way it is now?
This worry is normal, and it has a simple root. A bathroom choice lasts for years, and the people in a house change. A tub is great for bathing small children and for a long soak. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. Neither one is the wrong answer. The right pick depends on who is actually using the room.
The work is smaller than the decision feels. Only the wet area changes: out goes the shower, in goes a Jacuzzi® bathtub, and new walls frame it. Nothing else in the room is part of the job. How big it gets depends on your space and your picks, like the tub style, the wall finish and extras such as grab bars. Installs take in as little as one day, and some take a second day, rarely.
This week, walk through the house and count where people can bathe. When the home has another tub, converting one is rarely a problem, and the same thinking works for a spare shower. Ask who uses this bathroom now, and who may use it in the next few years. Small children? A parent who may come to stay? Then book a design visit with Love Your Bath. All homeowners are asked to be there, and the designer listens to all of it before building a custom plan with options and a free quote.
Once the choice is made and the tub is in, the worry has nowhere left to go. You have a bathroom that fits the people living with you in Fort Myers right now. Nick L. wrote, "The new bathtub/shower looks great." And if you sell later, you will know the choice was made for good reasons.
