Thinking about a tub again? How to know it is the right call
A no-pressure way to weigh shower-to-tub conversion for your home in Punta Gorda, FL.
The shower is easy, yet part of you wants a bathtub back. You also wonder whether a future buyer of your Punta Gorda home will care either way, and whether you will wish you had left things alone. Those are fair worries, and they have pretty plain answers.
Start with the house, not the trend. If there is already a tub in another bathroom, turning this shower into a tub, or keeping it as is, is rarely a problem later. If this is the only place to bathe, think about the people. A tub matters most to families with small children. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into for someone who would rather not climb over a tub wall.
If a tub wins, the work is kept to the wet area. Your shower comes out, a Jacuzzi® tub goes in, and new walls go up in the color and pattern you pick. A slip-resistant surface, grab bars or built-in seating can make the tub easier for everyone. The size of the space and those extras decide how big the job is.
Spend a few minutes this week on two lists: who uses this bathroom today, and who will in the next few years. Then set up a free design visit with Love Your Bath. All homeowners are asked to be there, so the people deciding hear the same choices together. The designer listens and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Hold off on any tear-out until that plan is in front of you.
When the choice is made for the right reasons, it stops nagging at you. Bath night with the grandkids gets easy, or the shower stays simple and you move on. Paul L. summed up his experience in a few words: "Very good experience. On time, responsive. Clean work area."

shower to tub conversion cost
The cost depends on the space, the tub you choose and the wall surround style. We replace only what is needed, so it is far less than a full remodel. A designer measures at home and gives you a free, written quote.
