Do you need a permit to turn your tub into a shower?
Tub-to-shower conversion in Kissimmee, FL, with the permit question settled before any work begins.
Nobody wants to learn halfway through a project that some paperwork was missed. If you live in Kissimmee, in Osceola County, this is the kind of thing you want cleared up early. The good news is that you can ask it at the very start, before the tub comes out.
This question usually comes from a careful place. You want the walk-in shower, but you also want the job done the right way, with nothing that trips you up later, like when you sell the house. A general answer you read online cannot settle it for your home. What you need is an answer about your own bathroom, asked before anything is scheduled.
Here is what the job itself involves. The tub comes out, and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes in the same spot. The work stays in the wet area, so floors and vanities are not part of it. Your price depends on the space and your picks, such as the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars.
Book a free design visit with Love Your Bath, and put the permit question at the top of your list. A designer comes out, listens to what you want, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Ask about permits right there, before you sign anything. Gloria C. wrote that Jin did a great job "explaining the shower process and how it's going to work." Phones are answered 24 hours a day if you want to set it up tonight.
Once that answer is in hand, you are not left wondering, and the project can move ahead. Your new shower goes in with the walls and fixtures you picked. Years from now, if you sell, you will know the question was asked and answered before any work began.

cost to convert a bathtub to a shower
The cost depends on the size of the space, the shower base and wall style you choose, and any safety features like a seat or grab bars. Because we replace just the tub and not the whole room, it costs far less than a full remodel. You get an exact, free quote at the design visit.
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.
