How much will it cost to turn my tub into a shower?
What goes into the price of a tub-to-shower conversion in Lakeland, FL, explained in plain words.
You have a budget in mind, and you would like to know if a walk-in shower fits inside it before you invite anyone over. That is a sensible first step for any Lakeland homeowner. The catch is that a fair price depends on details only your own bathroom can show.
Converting a tub to a shower means the tub is taken out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower takes its place. Instead of lifting your foot over a tall tub wall, you step in. Online price lists try to cover every house at once, so they cannot speak to yours. The number that counts is the one built around your Lakeland bathroom.
Your quote depends on the size and layout of the space, the shower base, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish. Add-ons like a seat, shelves or grab bars count as well. In Lakeland, one shower replaced in 2024 has Sandstorm walls in a random stone pattern with Oil Rubbed Bronze fixtures. Every shower is quoted in the home, since no two bathrooms are the same.
Start by looking at your tub and listing what you want instead: a seat, a grab bar, a certain finish. Next, call Love Your Bath to book a free design visit at your home. A designer listens, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote that covers the product and the installation. If it helps, ask about financing while the designer is there.
After that visit, you are no longer guessing. You have a real number for your own bathroom and a plan you shaped yourself. If you move ahead, the tub wall is gone, and getting into the shower is a simple step.
What people in Lakeland say
"From my initial conversation at Costco to our sales rep visit with Mike and finally with our installer, Jodeci, we had a wonderful experience. We had a bathtub to shower remodeling done. All of them were courteous, professional and most importantly, honest. Jodeci, came in and did his work. While here, he kept the bathroom area clean by using fans, open windows and keeping doors shut. He kept us in the loop as to what he was doing along the way. By the time he finished, the new shower was exactly as promised. Thank you Jodeci for a job well done. I would recommend this company for any future remodels."
"My experience with the installer , *** was excellent. He is a caring gentleman that did everything to please (me) the customer. He informed me step by step what was being done. Constantly telling me to come and check at anytime. I could not have asked for a better installer. I hope the company knows what kind of worker they have. On a scale of 1-10 without a doubt I rate his work a 10"
"I hired Love Your Bath to install a bath and shower to replace the one I’ve had for 20 years. The price was affordable and Angie did an amazing job and was very detailed, thorough, and is just a genuinely nice person. I am very pleased with her work and plan to hire Love Your Bath to install a shower in my 2nd bathroom. Would definitely recommend!"
Other things people in Lakeland 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.
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.
