Want the bathtub out and a walk-in shower in its place?
How a tub-to-shower swap works and what the price depends on, for walk-in showers in Riverview, FL.
Maybe the tub has not held a real bath in years, and stepping over it has become a careful, two-handed move. You live in Riverview, you want that tub gone, and you want a walk-in shower where it sits now. What you do not know yet is how big a job that really is.
This job has a plain name: a tub-to-shower conversion. The old tub comes out. A new shower base goes into the same space, with new walls, fixtures and a door or an open entry. You can choose a low or barrier-free entry, so you walk in instead of lifting a leg over a wall. Because the shower takes the tub's spot, the work stays in the wet area. Your floor, vanity and the rest of the room are left alone.
As for time, installs take in as little as one day, and some take a second day, rarely. As for price, it depends on the size and layout of the space, the shower base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. Every shower is quoted in your home, and the free quote covers both the product and the installation.
This week, stand in the bathroom and decide what you want the new shower to do for you. Do you want a seat to sit on while you wash? Grab bars near the entry? A door, or an open entry? Then set up a visit with Love Your Bath. A designer comes to your home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. All homeowners are asked to be at that visit. Hold off on buying a new curtain or rod until you know the plan.
When it is done, the tub is gone and you step into a shower that fits the way you live now. Debbie H. was "Very pleased with all aspects of the bathtub removal and shower replacement" and added, "I love this conversion." Linda P. wrote, "The shower and tub to walk in shower they installed are beautiful."

Other things people in Riverview 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.
