Is converting a tub to a shower a good idea?
Plain answers on tub-to-shower conversion for homeowners in Lehigh Acres, in Lee County.
You live in Lehigh Acres, and the tub in your bathroom is getting harder to step over. Taking it out feels like a big move. You wonder if it will hurt resale, or if you will miss it later. A low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower can take the tub's place, but the right answer is not the same for every home.
It can be a good idea. It depends on who uses the bathroom, today and in the next few years. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into than a tub wall. A tub matters more if small children live in the home. If the house has another tub, converting one is rarely a problem. Worrying about regret is normal.
The job takes out the tub and puts in a low-threshold shower. The price depends on what you pick and on your space. The 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. Only the tub or shower area is worked on, not floors or vanities. The quote is free and covers the product and the installation. Install can take as little as one day. Some take a second day, rarely.
This week, sit down with everyone who uses the bathroom. Ask who showers there now and who will in five years. Ask whether another tub is in the house. Ask whether children bathe there. Then call Love Your Bath. A designer comes to your home, listens, and talks it through with you before you decide. There is no need to choose on the first call.
Once it is done, getting in and out is a step, not a climb. Heather G. wrote, "Really happy all around with our tub to shower conversion." In Lehigh Acres, a 2025 shower replacement used Alabaster walls in a 3x6 subway pattern with Chrome fixtures. The look is your choice.

They visited my home and presented multiple samples to choose from, educated me about the products, and answered all my questions. They took accurate measurements of the bathtub/shower. Both has friendly fun personalities. During the process, Scott communicated with me via text to keep me updated on the products and installation. The day of installation went exactly as described- Randy showed up on time and he was able to get the installation and cleanup completed by the end of the day.
