Done climbing into the tub? Here is what a swap to a shower takes.
Tub out, walk-in shower in, explained plainly for anyone looking at walk-in showers in Palm Bay, FL.
You have stepped over that tub wall thousands of times, and lately each step feels a little less sure. You want it gone and a walk-in shower in its place in your Palm Bay home. First, though, you want to know what the job involves and what moves the price.
Swapping a tub for a walk-in shower means the tub comes out and a shower is built in the very same spot. Nothing else in the room has to change. The new shower can have a low or barrier-free entry, so you walk in instead of stepping over. Janice S. described the result in plain words: "The walk-in shower replaced the tub/shower, it is Gorgeous!"
The job depends on the size and layout of the tub space and on what you choose. That means the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. One Palm Bay shower from 2024 has Alabaster walls in a subway pattern, Brushed Nickel fixtures and a dual bypass door. Every job is quoted in the home, with product and installation together in one quote.
This week, think about who uses the tub and how. If it is mostly showers now, a walk-in shower in the same space is a simple next step. Then book a visit with Love Your Bath. The designer who visits your Palm Bay home takes time to listen, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Do not pay anyone to rip out more of the bathroom than you want changed.
When it is done, the tub wall is gone and a new Jacuzzi® shower stands in its place. HERMAN K. a Palm Bay customer, wrote, "I am very pleased with the job Marcel did installing my shower." A lifetime warranty covers you for as long as you own the home, and the crew activates it when the job is done.

Other things people in Palm Bay ask
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.
