Tub or walk-in shower: which one fits your family now?
Shower-to-tub conversion or keeping the shower? A calm way to decide for your Port St. Lucie, FL home.
Some families take the tub out for safety, and others want it back for little ones or a long soak. If you are in Port St. Lucie and stuck between the two, the fear is usually the same. You do not want to pick wrong, and you do not want to hurt the value of the house.
The right answer depends on who lives in the home, not on what is in style. One reviewer, julie W. shared that her family needed their tub "updated to a shower for the safety of my 91 years old Dad." For them, an easy step in mattered most. For a family with small children, a tub may matter more. And if there is another tub elsewhere in the house, switching one bathroom is rarely a problem.
Going from shower to tub is a contained job. The shower is taken out, a Jacuzzi® bathtub is put in, and a new wall surround goes up in the style you choose. Only the wet area changes. You can add a slip-resistant surface, grab bars or built-in seating so the tub works for more people in the family. The size of your space and those add-ons are what make it a bigger or smaller job.
Take a few days and think past today. Who bathes in this room now, and who might in a few years? Will a parent move in, or a grandchild visit often? Once you have those answers, book a free design visit with Love Your Bath. All homeowners are asked to be present, so every voice in the decision is in the room. The designer listens and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Avoid making the choice on resale fears alone.
Once you decide, the bathroom serves the people who actually use it. Maybe that is a tub with grab bars for bath night with the grandkids, or a shower that stays easy to step into. Either way, the worry is gone. One reviewer, mark R. put it this way: "There is no sales pitch."
What people in Port St. Lucie say
"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"
