What goes into the price when you swap a tub for a shower?
Tub-to-shower conversion in Rockledge, FL: the parts of the price, and how to get a real number.
Your tub has turned into a hurdle, and you would like a shower you can walk into. Whether you live in Virginia Park, Marlin Manor or Fairway Estates in Rockledge, you want a feel for the money before you call anyone. You also want to know why nobody posts one price. Here is what actually moves the number.
Think of the price as the sum of your own choices. A tub-to-shower conversion takes out the tub and sets a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower in its place, so getting in is a step, not a climb. No two are alike. The wall type and color are your call, and so are the base type and color and the fixture colors. When the existing shape fits, a custom pan is made for it. That is why two homes on the same street can end up with two different quotes.
Here is what the price depends on: the size and layout of the shower space, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. Your quote includes the product and the installation together. The work stays in the tub or shower area, so floors and vanities are not part of the job.
This week, look at photos of showers you like and note one or two must-haves, such as a fold-down seat or an open entry with no door. Then set up a free design visit with Love Your Bath. The designer listens first, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote that covers product and installation. Ask every cost question you have right there. Do not plan around a figure you saw online for someone else's bathroom.
Once the quote is in hand, the guessing stops. You know what your own shower will take and can plan around it. One Rockledge shower replacement from 2023 has Champagne walls in a random stone pattern, Brushed Nickel fixtures, an open entry with no door and a fold-down seat. Your new shower carries a lifetime warranty that covers you for as long as you own the home.
What people in Rockledge say
"From my initial conversation at Costco to our sales rep visit with Mike and finally with our installer, Jodeci, we had a wonderful experience. We had a bathtub to shower remodeling done. All of them were courteous, professional and most importantly, honest. Jodeci, came in and did his work. While here, he kept the bathroom area clean by using fans, open windows and keeping doors shut. He kept us in the loop as to what he was doing along the way. By the time he finished, the new shower was exactly as promised. Thank you Jodeci for a job well done. I would recommend this company for any future remodels."
"I'm very satisfied with what they did the gentleman that came and put it in was very polite that's cleaned all the mess up there was no residue of anything from the previous bathroom"
"Never seen two men work so clean and good together, you are very lucky to have such good workers,"
Other things people in Rockledge ask
is it a good idea to convert a tub to a shower
Think about who uses the bathroom today and in the next few years. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. A tub matters more to families with small children. If the home has another tub, converting one is rarely a problem. Our designer will talk it through with you before you decide.
do i need a permit to change a tub to a shower
Permit rules in Florida are set by your city or county. Ask at your free design visit whether your job needs a permit, so it is settled before work starts.
