Tub or shower? How to know the swap is a good idea
Kids, resale and the years ahead: how to weigh a shower-to-tub conversion for your home in Riverview, FL.
The worry is simple. You take out the only tub, or put one back where the shower is, and later wish you had left it alone. If your home is in Riverview, the answer starts with the people who use that bathroom, not with the house.
This question has two sides. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into, because there is no tub wall to climb over. A tub matters more when small children live in the home and need a bath most nights. So the swap is not good or bad on its own. It turns on who bathes in that room, now and later.
Start with a count of the tubs in your house. If the home has another tub, changing one bathroom is rarely a problem. If this would be the only tub, or the only shower, think harder about the next few years. A grandchild who stays over, a parent who may move in, a knee that is getting stiff: each one tips the answer a different way. The work itself stays in the tub or shower space, so the rest of the room is left alone.
Write down who uses that bathroom today and who might in five years. Then have Love Your Bath send a designer to your Riverview home. The designer listens to what you want and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote, so you are weighing real choices instead of guesses. One reviewer, eric S. said Dominick Dennis "came to the house and gave such a compelling orientation with pictures, sample products, and was very professional." Do not make the call based only on what you think a buyer might want.
Once the choice is made, the second-guessing stops. The bathroom fits the people who use it. Whichever way you go, a Jacuzzi® system comes with a lifetime warranty that covers you for as long as you own the home.
What people in Riverview say
"Happy with the work Marcel did a great job I would recommend him as help to anyone. Very pleased with my new shower I’d use Love Your Bath again."
"Dominick Dennis came to the house and gave such a compelling orientation with pictures, sample products, and was very professional. We look forward to the install of our new bathroom and will let you all know how it goes."
"Jared from Love Your Bath contacted me about getting a new shower for my father. My father is a 100 percent disabled veteran who is on 100 percent oxygen. I explained to him that we needed the tub converted to a walk in shower in order for my father to be able to bathe at home. I explained our financial situation and without hesitation he got on the phone with his company and now we are on our way to my dad having what he needs to remain at home. Thank you SO VERY MUCH Jared for your help and thank you Love Your Bath. You truly are a blessing. I give you 100 on a scale from 1to 10 with 10 being exceptional!!!"

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.
