Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Jacksonville: Step In With Ease
How a tub-to-shower conversion works in a Jacksonville, FL home, what you choose, and what to expect.
Jacksonville is a big city, but the reason for this search is often small and personal. A tub wall that used to be nothing has become something you think about every time you shower. Swapping that tub for a low-threshold shower turns the climb into a step, for you or for a parent you worry about.
Here is the work in plain terms. The tub comes out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes into that space. You choose the wall type and color, the base, and the fixture finish, plus extras like grab bars, shelves or a built-in seat. In Jacksonville, we have replaced one shower and one bathtub and installed one walk-in tub. That shower, from 2025, has smooth Champagne walls and Brushed Nickel fixtures. The bathtub job, also from 2025, has Alabaster walls in a herringbone pattern with Matte Black fixtures. The work stays in the tub or shower area only.
Jacksonville, which consolidated with Duval County in 1968, is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States. It sits on the St. Johns River. Riverside Avondale is one of its oldest neighborhoods, and San Marco grew after the Acosta Bridge opened in 1921. I-295 circles the city as the I-95 bypass. With that much ground, the most useful thing to study is your own bathroom. How do you get in? What do you hold? Does the house have a second tub? Those answers matter more than anything else.
The price is set during a visit to your home. It depends on the size and layout of the space, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. The free quote includes the product along with the installation. Installs take in as little as one day; a second day happens, but rarely. Cost, permits and whether this is a good idea each have their own answers below.
The first step is a design visit from Love Your Bath, which has a Google listing in Jacksonville. All homeowners are asked to be there for that visit. The designer listens closely and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. After that, you take your time and choose your colors, finishes and safety features. Then the install crew takes out the tub, sets the shower, and goes over every detail with you when the work is done.
When it is finished, your shower is a place you walk into, not a tub you climb. The walls and base are the colors you chose yourself. The grout-free surfaces help reduce mold and mildew buildup on the walls. Arlene W. said of the company representative who came out, "He was so kind and patient."
Common questions about tub-to-shower conversion in Jacksonville
What people in Jacksonville say
"We converted our garden tub to a huge walk-in shower. The men who did the conversion were very good. Matt and Philip were professional, efficient, and friendly. They did an excellent job. They were respectful of our property and made certain we were happy with their work before they left. So happy with our new shower."
"Professional and friendly guys in the Jacksonville area. They removed the builder's small, creeky tub and installed walk-in shower."
"My husband and I only got a quote for our shower to be redone, but Chad Hamm was an amazing representative for this company. He spent 3 hours going over everything and answering questions. He was so kind and patient. Unfortunately the cost was out of our personal budget."
"Tyler and Alec recently installed our new Jacuzzi tub and shower combo. I was very satisfied with their work and the quality of the materials. Also, after a minor issue arose with the bathtub faucet (an issue that did not prevent us from using the tub or shower), I was able to call Love Your Bath and arrange for Tyler to come out and fix the problem without issue."
"Very happy with my experience. Dale did an excellent job. He 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. When they say one day, they mean it."
"Ricky and Shawn very courteous and always kept me informed of progress of installation. They did both bathrooms with bathtub and shower installation. The job turned out better than I had imagined."
