Shower out, tub in: is it a choice you will be glad you made?
How to weigh resale, kids and easy access before a shower-to-tub conversion in Rockledge, FL.
You may love the idea of a tub again, but a voice asks whether a buyer will want the shower back, or whether stepping over a tub wall will get harder for you. If you own a home in Rockledge, those are fair questions, and they have plain answers.
Both choices have a real upside. A tub is the better fit for bathing small children, and some buyers with young kids look for one. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into, with no wall to climb over. The swap is a good idea when it matches the people who use the room. It is a poor one when it ignores them.
Count your bathrooms first. If the house will still have another tub, or another shower, changing one room is rarely a problem for resale. If this is the only bathroom, think about the next few years, not just today. A tub can be made easier to use with grab bars, a slip-resistant surface or built-in seating. The work is limited to that one tub or shower space.
Talk it over at home this week. Who bathes here now, and who will in five years? Then book a free design visit with Love Your Bath in Rockledge. The designer listens and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote, so you weigh real choices. Steve H. said they "scheduled, showed us what to expect, and from there it was game on." If anyone in the home has trouble with steps, bring that up at the visit.
Once you decide, the bathroom works for the people in your home. The install is done mainly by the company's own crews, whose installers are primarily W-2 employees, so one company stands behind the work. Norma B. decided to call after having "observed a love your bath installer cleaning up after one of his jobs." That kind of care is what you want inside your house.

"I observed a love your bath installer cleaning up after one of his jobs. It really caught my attention and that is why I decided to call this company. As a former Disney employee I am trained to notice things like this. Job well done!"
"Great work! Very professional. Timely and very neat. I would recommend his services to my family and friends."
"We contacted Love Your Bath to have our Roman shower redone. After talking to a representative, they scheduled, showed us what to expect, and from there it was game on. Vinnie was our technician that was a non-stop working professional. From his demolition to rebuild he left the job daily clean & ready for the next step. Once complete, we were very pleased with his care and work. I can seriously say that Love Your Bath and their staff are quality from the start. You will not be disappointed."

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.
