Worried a new tub will need a permit you did not get?
Answers on permits for a shower-to-tub conversion in Lakewood Ranch, FL, so nothing catches you off guard.
You want a bathtub in your Lakewood Ranch home again, but the word permit gives you pause. Maybe you have heard of a sale that stalled over work done without one. You would rather know where you stand before anyone starts pulling out the shower.
A permit question usually comes up when a project sounds bigger than it is. Swapping a shower for a tub changes the bathing area, so it is fair to ask. Whether a given job needs a permit depends on the work and on the rules where you live. No web page can answer that for your house ahead of time, and you should be wary of any that tries.
It helps to know what the job is and is not. The shower comes out and a Jacuzzi® bathtub goes in, with a new wall surround. Floors, vanities, cabinets and lighting are not part of the work. The size of the job depends on your space, the tub you choose, the walls and fixtures, and extras like a seat or grab bars.
Do not guess, and do not wait until the old shower is out. When you book your free design visit with Love Your Bath, put the permit question at the top of your list. Ask the designer whether your Lakewood Ranch job needs one, and get it answered before work starts. During the same visit, your designer listens to your wishes and lays out a custom plan with options and a free quote. Keep a note of the answer with your paperwork.
Once the question is answered, you can move forward calmly. The tub goes in, the walls are new, and there is no loose end waiting for the day you sell. Ernest B. said, "Sales and installation were professional and I felt treated with respect."

Other things people in Lakewood Ranch 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.
shower to tub conversion cost
The cost depends on the space, the tub you choose and the wall surround style. We replace only what is needed, so it is far less than a full remodel. A designer measures at home and gives you a free, written quote.
