Is a permit part of turning your shower into a tub?
Straight talk on permits for a shower-to-tub conversion in Jacksonville, FL, before the work begins.
You are ready to put a tub where the shower is in your Jacksonville home, but you want to do it by the book. A missing permit is the kind of thing that turns up at the worst time, like the week you list the house. You would like it answered first.
Doing it right from the start is a smart instinct. Jacksonville is in Duval County, and you can ask about permits for your own job at your free design visit. A general answer from the internet cannot tell you that.
The work is easy to describe, which helps when you ask. The shower comes out, a Jacuzzi® bathtub goes into the same space, and new walls go up in the style you choose. It stays in the wet area, with floors and vanities left off the list. With that scope in hand, you can get a clear answer on the permit before a single wall comes out. Your color and fixture picks do not change the question.
This week, call to set up a free design visit with Love Your Bath. Phones are answered 24 hours a day, so you can call when it fits your schedule. At the visit, ask whether your job needs a permit, and get that settled before you sign. The designer hears what you want and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Blanche O. wrote that the sales representative "explained the process so that I knew what to expect."
Once the permit question has an answer, the rest of the project is about the fun parts, like wall colors and fixture finishes. When the tub is in, you will know how the work was handled. If you sell later, that is one less thing to explain to a buyer. Until then, you have a tub for bath time and a soak at the end of the day.
What people in Jacksonville say
"I am so happy with how our new tub to shower project turned out! The sales representative Taz, was very thorough, friendly and explained the process so that I knew what to expect. Angie, who did the install, was on time and very pleasant. She kept the area clean and did a beautiful job. I highly recommend them for any bathroom renovation."
"We love our new walk in shower. Jason really worked hard- a 2 day project but the result was perfect. I could not believe how clean everything was! He completely sealed the bathroom & dirt was totally contained! Totally recommend Jason & this company!!!"
"Dean and Andy came early. Took of their shoes following social cues and asking. Were extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Educated us as far as the latest and greatest. And went out of their way to get us the best possible pricing for a new shower build out."
Other things people in Jacksonville 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.
