Taking out the bathtub to make room for a walk-in shower?
How a tub comes out and a walk-in shower goes in, and what the price depends on, in Lehigh Acres, FL.
The bathtub in your Lehigh Acres home has turned into an obstacle. You climb over it to shower and rarely fill it for a bath. You are ready to take it out and put a walk-in shower in its place, and you want to know what that really takes before you call anyone.
Removing a tub to make a walk-in shower is a tub-to-shower conversion. The tub comes out, and a Jacuzzi® shower system goes into that space with a low or barrier-free entry. A built-in seat and grab bars can be added at the heights and spots you choose. Custom pans are made when the existing shape fits, and the grout-free walls stay easy to wipe clean. You also pick the wall type and color, the base and the fixture colors.
The job is sized to your bathroom. Each one is quoted at the house, and the price depends on the tub space's size and layout, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. Fewer add-ons keep the job smaller. The work stays on the wet area only. Installs take in as little as one day, with a second day needed only on rare jobs.
This week, picture the finished shower. Where would a seat go? Where would you reach for a grab bar? Then call Love Your Bath and set up a design visit, with all homeowners present. The designer listens to your ideas and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. You pick the colors and features that make sense for you.
When it is done, there is no tub wall left to climb. You walk in, sit if you want and reach for support right where you planned it. Dave T. noticed how his installer worked: "He kept the house clean by putting drop cloths down in the areas he walked in."

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.
