What decides the price of swapping a tub for a shower?
A clear look at tub-to-shower conversion pricing for New Port Richey, FL homes, and how to get your own number.
You have a budget in mind and a tub you are tired of climbing over. Before you call anyone, you want to know if a walk-in shower fits inside that budget. Whether you live in Holiday Gardens Estates, La Villa Gardens or near downtown New Port Richey, the real number comes from your own space.
There is no one price for this job, and that is not a dodge. The tub is pulled out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower takes its place, built around the space you have. A garden tub, an alcove tub and an odd corner tub all start from different places. Rebecca P. wrote, "We converted our garden tub to a huge walk-in shower." Her bathroom and yours are not the same, and neither are the quotes.
So what does the price depend on? It comes down to a short list: the size and layout of the tub space, the shower base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. Each shower gets its own quote at your home, since every bathroom is different. That free quote takes in both the product and the installation. The work covers only the wet area, the tub space itself.
Before the visit, decide which extras you care about. A seat? Grab bars? A fixture finish that goes with the rest of the room? Then call Love Your Bath and ask for the free design visit. A designer comes out, listens to what you want, and works up a custom plan with options and a free quote. All homeowners are asked to be there, so pick a time that works for each of you.
Once you have your quote, you can hold it up against your budget and decide. If you move ahead, the shower carries a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the home. You trade the climb for a step, and you know what the job includes before it begins. That makes the decision feel a lot less like a leap.
What people in New Port Richey say
"We converted our garden tub to a huge walk-in shower. The men who did the conversion were very good. Matt and Philip were professional, efficient, and friendly. They did an excellent job. They were respectful of our property and made certain we were happy with their work before they left. So happy with our new shower."
"Love your Bath provided a bath conversion. Shawn, my installer, was on point! There is always going to be surprises when ripping out walls, but he met every challenge with calm and professionalism."
"My wife loves the new shower!! Our installer, Kyle H, was courteous, knew what he was doing, and a GREAT worker. The shower capped off a unscheduled bathroom remodel and has brightened up the room a lot. Many thanks to Love Your Bath for their great product."
Other things people in New Port Richey 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.
