Swapping a shower for a tub? Settle the permit question first
Help with permits for a shower-to-tub conversion in Inverness, FL, before your project gets going.
You want to turn the shower in your Inverness home into a tub, and there is one worry you cannot shake. What if the job needs a permit and nobody gets one? You would hate for that to come up halfway through the work, or years later when you sell.
That worry is a good one to have. Think of a permit as the local go-ahead for certain home projects. Who sets the rules? Inverness sits in Citrus County, so ask about permits for your house at your free design visit.
So be clear on the work. During a shower-to-tub conversion, the shower is taken out, a Jacuzzi® bathtub is set in the same space, and new walls go up around it. Everything happens in the tub and shower area, with floors and vanities outside the job. Once you can describe it that simply, the permit question is easy to raise. The tub style and wall finish you pick do not change what you are asking.
This week, book a free design visit with Love Your Bath and make the permit question your first one. The designer will listen first, then build a custom plan with options and a free quote. Ask before you sign, and write the answer on your copy of the quote. David R. wrote that the team "communicated well from initial consultation to completion." Until the permit question is answered, do not let any work begin, even if a start date is open.
With that settled, nothing hangs over the project. On install day, the work is done mainly by the company's own crews, and they leave you with a tub where the shower was and walls you chose. You are left with no open questions about how the job was handled, and that is worth a lot when you sell.

Other things people in Inverness ask
is it a good idea to convert a tub to a shower
Think about who uses the bathroom today and in the next few years. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. A tub matters more to families with small children. If the home has another tub, converting one is rarely a problem. Our designer will talk it through with you before you decide.
shower to tub conversion cost
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.
