Second thoughts about trading your shower for a tub?
A plain way to decide on a shower-to-tub conversion for your home in Gainesville, FL.
You like the idea of a tub in your Gainesville home, but you keep thinking about the downside. Will you miss the shower? Will someone buying the house later wish it were still there? It is the kind of choice you only want to make once, so you are taking your time.
Second thoughts like these usually come from one thing: a bathroom has to work for different people over the years. A tub is the easier choice for bathing small children and for a long soak. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. Both are good. Trouble only starts when the choice does not match the people using the room.
The good news is that the change is limited. Only the wet area is replaced. The shower comes out, a Jacuzzi® bathtub goes in, and fresh walls go up in the style you pick, with the rest of the room left out of the job. The size of the work depends on your space and your picks, like the tub style, the wall finish and extras such as grab bars or a slip-resistant surface. Financing is offered if it helps.
This week, list every place in the house where someone can bathe. If there is another tub, giving one up is rarely a problem, and the same goes for a spare shower. Then think about the next few years. Small children on the way? A parent who might stay with you? Book a design visit with Love Your Bath and bring those answers. The designer listens to your answers and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Karen M. wrote that the representative "showed me just about every option there was."
Once you decide with the whole household in mind, the second thoughts fade. You end up with a tub that suits the people living with you now, in walls and finishes you picked. If you sell one day, you will know the choice made sense for your life in Gainesville.
What people in Gainesville say
"Randy and Trent were a blessing to have working in our home. They were polite and diligent and excellent at their craft. I would recommend them and this beautiful product to anyone!!"
"Jared was a Fantastic representative! He was on time, professional, fun to work with, very informed. And showed me just about every option there was. He worked with me to match my existing tile in the bathroom. Also gave us some great ideas for safety and aging in place in the home. He recognized my husband as a veteran and thanked him for his service. Call Jared! He's the best!"
"Looks amazing. Reno of 25yo condo shower with filthy grout, dated tile and horrible shower door. 6 weeks from initial call to installation. This group really works as a team to coordinate everything. Purchased through Costco to get additional promotions. Jared, Lindsay, Courtney, and Kimberly were great, but the gold star goes to the installer Jason who went above & beyond to make it all perfect. Entire group was professional, available, and pleasant to work with. It is worth the extra $ to have it done right!"

The cost depends on the space, the tub you choose and the wall surround style. We replace only what is needed, so it is far less than a full remodel. A designer measures at home and gives you a free, written quote.
