Getting rid of the bathtub to make room for a walk-in shower?
Jacksonville, FL: what happens when a bathtub comes out and a walk-in shower goes in, and what it depends on.
The tub in your Jacksonville bathroom may be the one the builder put in, and it has never really worked for you. Now the climb over its side is the part of the day you like least. You want it out and a walk-in shower in, and you want to know what that takes.
A customer in Jacksonville put it well. Sabrina P. wrote: "They removed the builder's small, creeky tub and installed walk-in shower." That swap is called a tub-to-shower conversion. The tub comes out, a shower base and walls go in where it was, and a custom pan is made when the shape fits. Only that one area of the bathroom is touched, so your floor and vanity stay as they are.
How big the job is depends on the space and what you choose. Measure nothing yourself; the size and layout get checked at the visit. After that, the base type, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish shape the price. A seat, shelves or grab bars also add to it. Installs take in as little as one day, though once in a while a second day is needed.
This week, picture the shower you want. Do you want a low step or a barrier-free entry? A seat? Grab bars on which wall? Jot your answers down. Then set up a visit with Love Your Bath. A designer comes to your home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. The quote includes the product and the installation, so there is one number to think about.
When it is finished, the tub is gone and you walk right in. Jackie S. noticed that "there was no residue of anything from the previous bathroom." You get a bathroom that works for how you live now, with a seat and grab bars where you asked for them.

Other things people in Jacksonville 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.
