Shower or tub: which one will you be glad you chose?

You have a shower and you keep thinking about putting a tub back in. Or the tub is already gone and you wonder if that was a mistake. For your Plant City home, it comes down to two worries: will a buyer want a tub someday, and will you miss one while you live there?

This worry shows up most when a home has only one place to bathe. A shower is easier to step into, since there is no high side to climb over. A tub matters more to families with small children, because bath time is simpler with little ones. When the house has a second tub somewhere else, changing one bathroom either way is rarely a problem.

Putting a tub back means the shower comes out and a new Jacuzzi® bathtub goes in, with a fresh wall surround in the style you pick. Only that wet area changes. You choose a classic alcove tub or a deep-soaking tub, then the wall color, pattern and fixture finish. The size of the space and the extras you add, like grab bars or a seat, are what make the job bigger or smaller.

This week, picture the next few years. Who will bathe in this room? A parent who needs a seat and something to hold, or a toddler who needs a tub? Then book a free design visit with Love Your Bath. All homeowners are asked to be there, so everyone with a say hears the same options. The designer listens to what you want and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Do not tear anything out until you have seen that plan.

Once it is settled, the bathroom fits the people who use it. That might be a deep tub for slow evening baths, or a tub that makes bath night with the kids easy. We have replaced three showers in Plant City, and each one got walls and fixtures the owner picked. Ilya H. summed up the feeling: "Loved how these guys changed my bath!"
