Should you check on a permit before the tub goes in?
Permit questions for a shower-to-tub conversion in Leesburg, FL, answered before the work begins.
You are ready to trade the shower in your Leesburg home for a tub, but one thing nags at you. What if the job needs a permit and nobody pulls one? You do not want a problem to surface when you sell the house. The fix is to ask early.
This worry is common, and it is fair. A shower-to-tub conversion changes the main bathing spot in the room, so people wonder whether paperwork is needed. Some jobs need a permit and some do not. The rules come from where your home sits, not from a contractor's habits, so this is not something to guess at from a website.
Knowing the size of the job helps. The shower is removed, and a Jacuzzi® bathtub with a new wall surround goes in. That is the whole scope. Vanities, floors and cabinets are left alone. Your picks shape the rest: the tub style, the wall finish, the fixtures, and any grab bars, shelves or built-in seat you want.
Ask about permits at the very first visit, not on install day. Book a free design visit with Love Your Bath and ask the designer whether your Leesburg job needs one. Get the answer before work starts. George K. wrote that he and his wife "contacted them for a design consultation" when they wanted a change of their own. At that visit, the designer takes in your plans and folds them into a custom plan with options and a free quote.
With the permit question settled up front, there is one less thing to worry about later. Your new tub is in, the walls are fresh, and when the time comes to sell, the bathroom is not a question mark.

Other things people in Leesburg 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.

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.
