Want the bathtub gone and a walk-in shower in its place?
What it takes to turn an old tub into a walk-in shower, for homeowners in Plant City, FL.
Maybe nobody has taken a real bath in that tub for years, and stepping over its side to shower feels shakier every month. You live in Plant City and you want it out, with a shower you can just walk into. What you do not know yet is how big the job is or what drives the price.
Taking out a tub to make a walk-in shower is called a tub-to-shower conversion. The tub comes out, and a shower with a low or barrier-free entry goes into the same space. The tall side you step over today is simply gone. You keep the room you have and change only the part that has become hard to use. Janice S. described her own change this way: "The walk-in shower replaced the tub/shower, it is Gorgeous! I love it!"
Each conversion is priced at your home, since every bathroom is a little different. What you pay depends on the size and layout of the tub space, the base you choose, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish. A seat, shelves or grab bars go into the number too. The job stays in the wet area, so your floor and vanity are left alone. Your free quote covers the product and the install together.
This week, do not buy anything or start pulling things apart. Write down what bothers you about the tub and what you want the new shower to do for you. Then call Love Your Bath and set up a visit. A designer comes to your home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Ask to see base and wall choices side by side. All homeowners are asked to be at the visit, so pick a time when all of you can be there.
Once it is done, you walk into your shower instead of climbing into a tub. You might go with a fold-down seat and smooth Champagne walls, like one 2025 shower replacement in Plant City. A grab bar sits where your hand reaches. The grout-free walls wipe clean, so the new space stays easy to care for. Getting clean stops being the hardest part of your morning.
What people in Plant City 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."
"We had the best salesman Derrick Pemberton. He was kind and showed us all our options and we came up with the best two showers in one combination. Financing was a breeze. We did have some problems with some of the personnel that I am told no longer work there. We did however have two of the nicest installers. David and his helper were very professional and knowledgeable about the products answering any questions we had. Job took two days but it is a huge dual shower 96H 84L 32W we expected a two day job and it is absolutely gorgeous."
"Did a beautiful job. Couldn't even tell that they worked in the bath was so clean when they left. Really explained everything well."
Other things people in Plant City 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.
