Want the bathtub out and a walk-in shower in its place?
What swapping a tub for a walk-in shower involves in Inverness, FL, and what decides the price.
The tub in your Inverness bathroom takes up space and gets in the way. You would rather walk into a shower than climb over a wall, but you do not know if the change is a small job or a big one. You also want a sense of what moves the price before anyone visits.
Swapping a tub for a shower is a tub-to-shower conversion, and the work happens only in the tub area. The tub is pulled out. A shower base takes its spot, new walls go up, and you get a low or barrier-free entry. If the existing shape fits, a custom pan is made. Your floor and vanity are not part of the job, so the rest of the room stays as you know it.
The size and layout of the space set the starting point. From there, the price depends on the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and the extras you add, such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. Every conversion is quoted at home, because no two bathrooms are alike. The quote is free and covers both the product and the installation, so you see one full number.
Start with a simple list: low step or barrier-free, seat or no seat, and where you want grab bars. Then call Love Your Bath. A designer comes over, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. The install is done mainly by their own crews. Do not let anyone talk you into a full remodel if the tub is the only problem. Jay H. said the crew "had a lot of ugly to deal with" and still turned it around.
Afterward, the tub is gone and you walk straight in. Penny P. said the installer "cleaned up so nicely that after he left you would never know he had been there except for the beautiful spa like shower he left behind." That is the goal: a bathroom that feels like yours, only easier.

Other things people in Inverness ask
alternative to a walk-in tub for the elderly
The most common alternatives are a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry, a tub-to-shower conversion, and adding a built-in seat and grab bars. Each one removes the climb over the tub wall. A designer can show you all of them side by side at home and quote the one that fits.
least expensive way to replace a shower
The lowest-cost way to get a real new shower is to replace just the shower: a new base and wall system installed over a cleaned-out space, with no full gut. That is what we do with Jacuzzi® shower systems, and most jobs take as little as one day.
