Is bringing back a bathtub the right call for your home?
Thinking through a shower-to-tub conversion for your home in Inverness, FL.
You are weighing whether to turn the shower in your Inverness home into a tub. Part of you wants the bath back. Part of you worries that a tub wall will be harder to step over later, or that a buyer would rather have the shower, and that is a fair thing to think hard about.
Those worries pull in two directions, and both are real. A tub is the better fit for bathing small children and for a slow soak. Meanwhile, a walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. Neither is wrong on its own, and it helps to look at both sides before you call anyone. What matters is who uses this room now, and who will use it in a few years.
The job itself is focused. Only the wet area changes: the shower is removed, a Jacuzzi® bathtub takes its place, and new walls go up around it in your style. It does not reach the floors or vanities. Options like grab bars, built-in seating and a slip-resistant surface can make a tub easier to use. Installs take in as little as one day, and only rarely does one run into a second day.
This week, sit down with the people you share the house with and ask two questions. Who bathes here now? Who might in the next few years? If the home has another tub, turning one space into the other is rarely a problem, and a spare shower elsewhere counts the same way. With those answers in hand, book a design visit with Love Your Bath. The designer listens to all of it and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote.
Once you have decided with the next few years in mind, you can stop going back and forth. Kittye R. went the other way and swapped a bathtub for a walk-in shower, then wrote: "I could not be more pleased with our decision." The right choice is the one that fits your own household, and you will know why you made it.

Other things people in Inverness ask
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.
do i need a permit to change a tub to a shower
Permit rules in Florida are set by your city or county. Ask at your free design visit whether your job needs a permit, so it is settled before work starts.
