How much does it cost to turn a tub into a shower?
Straight talk on tub-to-shower conversion pricing for homes in Melbourne, FL, and how to get a real number.
You are ready to trade the tub for a shower you can walk into, but you want a sense of the cost before anyone comes to the house. That is a fair place to start in Melbourne, whether you live near Historic Downtown Melbourne or out in West Melbourne. The honest answer is that it depends on your space and the things you pick.
Converting a tub means the old tub comes out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes in where it stood. Getting in becomes a step instead of a climb over a tall wall. Prices you see online are all over the map, and there is a reason. No two bathrooms are the same, so a number from someone else's home tells you very little about yours. That is why every shower is quoted in the home, after the space has been seen.
The price depends on your room and your choices. It comes down to the size and layout of the tub space, the shower base, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish. Extras count as well, like a built-in seat, shelves or grab bars. One Melbourne shower replacement from 2024 has Midnight Storm walls in a random stone pattern, Matte Black fixtures and a teak seat. Wall pattern, fixture finish and a seat are all part of what a price depends on.
This week, jot down what bothers you about the tub now and what you want instead. Note who uses that bathroom, and whether a seat or grab bars would help them. Then call Love Your Bath to set up the free design visit. A designer comes to your home and listens first. After that, you get a custom plan with options and a free quote that covers the product and the installation. All homeowners are asked to be at the visit, so plan for that.
Once the work is done, there is no tub wall to lift a leg over. You walk into a shower with the walls, base and fixtures you picked. The install itself can take in as little as one day. And the quote you agreed to already included both the shower and the installation.
What people in Melbourne say
"From my initial conversation at Costco to our sales rep visit with Mike and finally with our installer, Jodeci, we had a wonderful experience. We had a bathtub to shower remodeling done. All of them were courteous, professional and most importantly, honest. Jodeci, came in and did his work. While here, he kept the bathroom area clean by using fans, open windows and keeping doors shut. He kept us in the loop as to what he was doing along the way. By the time he finished, the new shower was exactly as promised. Thank you Jodeci for a job well done. I would recommend this company for any future remodels."
"Tyler - Kevin - Marcel did a very professional job! Would use this service again!"
"We needed to have our tub updated to a shower for the safety of my 91 years old Dad. Robert came to our home and explained everything about Love Your Bath product. He was very knowledgeable and showed us how are new shower would look. Jerry came to our house a week later and removed the tub and walls with very little mess. He then installed the new shower and fixtures. Jerry was very meticulous and hardworking. We are happy with our new shower but the best part is that my Dad can take a shower safely. Thank you Love Your Bath"
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.
