Is a permit required to change your tub to a shower?
Tub-to-shower conversion for Lehigh Acres, FL homes, with the permit question raised before any work starts.
You want the new shower, but not a surprise from a permit you did not know about, or a snag when you sell. In Lehigh Acres, in Lee County, the smart move is to ask about it at the first meeting. That way it is settled before a single tool comes out.
This is a reasonable question to ask before any bathroom project. A tub-to-shower conversion changes a working part of your home, and you want to feel sure it was handled the right way if anyone ever asks. Guessing based on what a neighbor did is not a plan. Asking about your own job, at the start, is.
The job is the tub out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower in, with the work kept to the wet area. Nothing else in the room is part of it. Your price will depend on the size and layout of your space and on choices like the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and any seat, shelves or grab bars you want.

Cyndy B. wrote that the company "explained all requirements of the job, outlined their work standards and provided a clear and easily understood contract."
With that answer in hand, you can relax and pick your finishes. Once the shower is in, a lifetime warranty on both product and workmanship covers you for as long as you own the home. If you ever sell, you will know the permit question was raised at the very start.

Other things people in Lehigh Acres ask
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.
