Putting a tub back in: smart move or a choice you will regret?
Help weighing a shower-to-tub conversion for your home in Fort Pierce, FL.
Your Fort Pierce bathroom has a shower, and you keep going back and forth about putting a tub there instead. A tub would be nice for small children or a slow soak. But you wonder if you, or whoever owns the house next, will wish the shower were still there.
Going back and forth on this makes sense, because a tub and a shower each do one job better. A tub suits bathing small children and soaking. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. So the real question is not which one is better in general. It is which one fits the people who use this bathroom.
The work itself is contained. The shower is taken out, a Jacuzzi® bathtub is fitted into its space, and a wall surround in your chosen style goes up. Vanities and floors stay outside the scope. What you choose sets the size of the job, from the tub style to the wall finish to options like a slip-resistant surface or grab bars. For a sense of the finishes, one Fort Pierce bathtub replacement from 2023 has Alabaster walls in a herringbone pattern and Brushed Nickel fixtures.
This week, count the places in your house where someone can bathe. If there is another tub, changing one is rarely a problem, and a second shower works the same way. If this is the only shower, picture daily life with a tub wall to step over. Then book a design visit with Love Your Bath. All homeowners are asked to be there. The designer hears you out, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote.
Once the choice is made, the back and forth stops. You have the tub that fits your household, and the lifetime warranty covers you for as long as you own the home. Linda P. wrote of the installers, "we are so happy with their professionalism." You made the call based on real people, not a guess.
