Want the tub gone and a walk-in shower in its place?
What it takes to remove a tub and build a walk-in shower, for homes in Lakewood Ranch, FL.
The tub in your Lakewood Ranch bathroom gets more cleaning than use. Stepping over its edge is the hardest part of your shower, and you would rather walk straight in. You are ready to trade it for a walk-in shower, but first you want a clear picture of the job and the price.
Taking out a tub and putting in a shower is called a tub-to-shower conversion. Once the tub is out, a Jacuzzi® shower goes into the same space. You get a low or barrier-free entry, and you can add a built-in seat and grab bars. Showers include very low-profile custom pans, made when the existing shape fits. Its walls have no grout, and their antimicrobial surfaces help reduce mold and mildew buildup. Think of it as keeping the footprint and losing the climb.
The price is figured in your home, because each tub space is different. Its size and layout, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars all play a part. A bigger space or more extras means a bigger job, and a simple layout means a smaller one. The work covers the tub area only. Floors and vanities are left out, so you know exactly what is in the job and what is not.
Start by deciding who the shower is for and what they need. Then call Love Your Bath and book a design visit at your home, with all homeowners present. You talk, the designer listens, and you get a custom plan with options and a free quote. You choose the base, wall color, fixture finish and safety features. Take your time with those choices, since you will use this shower every day.
When the work is finished, you walk into your shower rather than over a tub. There is nothing tall to climb, and a seat is there if you want it. The crew goes over every detail and activates the lifetime warranty right then. Jeff A. put it this way: "I recently had my bathtub converted into a walk-in shower, and Joselito and his team did an outstanding job."

Other things people in Lakewood Ranch 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.
