Taking out your only tub: will you regret it later?
An honest look at whether a tub-to-shower conversion makes sense for your Kissimmee, FL home.
That tub may not have held a bath in years, yet pulling it out still feels like a big decision. Maybe you think about resale, or about the grandkids who visit. If you live in Kissimmee and step over that tub wall every day just to shower, it is worth thinking this through with care.
Most of this comes down to who uses the bathroom. If the people in your home shower and rarely bathe, the tub is mostly a wall to climb over. A walk-in shower gives easier step-in access, and options like grab bars and a built-in seat add support. If small children bathe in that tub, think about where bath time would move to after the change.
The job itself is focused. The tub comes out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes in, and installs take in as little as one day. Your price depends on your space and your choices: base, walls, fixture finish and extras. In Kissimmee, one shower replaced in 2024 has Alabaster walls in a herringbone pattern, Chrome fixtures and a teak seat.
Before you decide, ask yourself two questions. Who will use this bathroom over the next few years? Is there another tub in the house for anyone who still wants one? Then set up a free design visit with Love Your Bath. A designer listens to what you want and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote, so you can weigh it at your own kitchen table.

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.
do i need a permit to change a tub to a shower
Permit rules in Florida are set by your city or county. Ask at your free design visit whether your job needs a permit, so it is settled before work starts.
