How much does it cost to put a tub back where the shower is?
What sets the cost of a shower-to-tub conversion in Melbourne, FL, and how to get a real number.
You want a bathtub again, maybe for the grandkids' bath time or because you plan to sell one day. Before you call anyone in Melbourne, you want a sense of what you are getting into. The numbers you find online swing all over the place, and none of them have seen your bathroom. That makes it hard to plan.
Shower-to-tub conversion means the shower comes out and a bathtub goes in its place, with new walls around it. Prices you find online are averages from other homes. They cannot tell you about your space, the tub you want or the look you pick. That is why one price never fits everyone.
Your price depends on a few clear things. The size and layout of the space matters. So does the tub, whether a classic alcove tub or a deep-soaking tub. The wall style and finish, the base, and the fixture finish all play a part. Extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars add to it. Only the wet area is replaced, so floors and vanities are left alone. The quote covers both the Jacuzzi® product and the installation.
This week, decide what matters most to you: a deep soak, an easy bath for kids, or a clean look for resale. Jot down any extras you want, like grab bars. Then ask Love Your Bath for a designer visit at your Melbourne home. The designer listens, builds a custom plan with options, and gives you a free quote with the product and install included. Do not plan around a number from a website. It was not built for your bathroom.
Then you know the real number, and you can plan around it. Financing is available if you want it. Pam W. put it simply: "I am very pleased with their work." You end up with a tub you picked, walls you like, and no more guessing.
What people in Melbourne say
"Tyler and Alec recently installed our new Jacuzzi tub and shower combo. I was very satisfied with their work and the quality of the materials. Also, after a minor issue arose with the bathtub faucet (an issue that did not prevent us from using the tub or shower), I was able to call Love Your Bath and arrange for Tyler to come out and fix the problem without issue."
"Install crew was great. They were tidy and courteous with good attention to detail. They started around 9:00 am and were done and gone by 5:00 pm. They installed a new shower enclosure in the guest bedroom and it looks great. My wife and I are very pleased."
"Great team of Angie and David for installation. Prompt, explained everything they were doing and I am very pleased with their work. Sales rep Derrick was also great. Terrific employees!"
Other things people in Melbourne 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.
do i need a permit to change a tub to a shower
Permit rules in Florida are set by your city or county. Ask at your free design visit whether your job needs a permit, so it is settled before work starts.
