Need a permit before you swap the tub for a shower?
For Leesburg, FL homeowners planning a tub-to-shower conversion who want the permit question handled up front.
Leesburg, The Lakefront City, sits between Lake Harris and Lake Griffin. If your home is here and you are planning a walk-in shower, you probably want to know about permits before anything starts. That is easy to raise at the very beginning.
The worry behind this question is about later. You do not want work done that causes trouble when you sell, or that you have to go back and fix. Advice online pulls in every direction. The answer that matters is the one about your house and your project, and you can get the question on the table before you agree to anything.
The project itself is contained. The tub comes out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes in its place, and the work stays in the wet area. The people doing the install are primarily W-2 employees of the company. Price depends on the space, your base, walls and fixture finish, and extras like a seat or grab bars.
Book a free design visit with Love Your Bath, and ask about permits while the designer is there. The designer listens to what you want and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Darcy L. wrote, "Installation was great, Angie did a great job." Bring your questions on paper so you can check each one off.
When that is behind you, the rest is about choices you enjoy making. Your shower goes in with your chosen walls and fixtures, and the old tub is gone. In Leesburg, one shower replaced in 2024 has Seaside walls, Oil Rubbed Bronze fixtures and a dual bypass door, which shows how personal the finished look can be.

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.
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.
