Can you budget for a walk-in shower before anyone visits?
Tub-to-shower conversion in Sanford, FL: the pieces that set your price, laid out plainly.
You want to swap the tub for a shower you can walk into, and you would like a rough idea of cost before anyone comes to your Sanford home. The trouble is that a fair price depends on your bathroom and your choices. Here is how to think about it before you make that first call.
Most cost questions come from one fear: getting a number that blows the budget after you have already set your heart on it. A tub-to-shower conversion means the tub comes out and a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes into that space. Because each shower is custom, from the wall color to the base to the fixture colors, the price is built around what you choose and the room you have. Two showers that look alike from the doorway can still differ in the details.
The price depends on a handful of things. How big your tub area is and how it is laid out. The base. The wall style and finish. The fixture finish. Extras such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. The work covers only the tub or shower area, and the free quote includes both the product and the installation, so you see the whole job in one figure.
Start a simple wish list this week: what color walls, which fixture finish, a seat or not. Then call Love Your Bath for a free design visit, with all homeowners there. A designer listens to your wish list and builds a custom plan for your own space, with options and a free quote. Financing is offered, so ask about it at the visit if that would help. Keep your list handy so nothing gets forgotten.
When the visit wraps up, you have a real number for your own bathroom and a plan that matches it. No more guessing from ads or from what a friend paid. One Sanford shower replacement from 2024 has smooth Alabaster walls, Matte Black fixtures and a teak seat. Nancy D. wrote of a finished job, "The shower looks great."
What people in Sanford say
"I am so happy with how our new tub to shower project turned out! The sales representative Taz, was very thorough, friendly and explained the process so that I knew what to expect. Angie, who did the install, was on time and very pleasant. She kept the area clean and did a beautiful job. I highly recommend them for any bathroom renovation."
"We paid a LOT of $$ for a new shower last September 2020. Took a couple of months for them to start. Came back at least 3 different times to fix do what they messed up didn't do right to start with. The 4th time was a couple of months ago, A new man came out told us the whole job was a mess & needed to be redone. Someone would call use the next day.. NO one has called, was told several times they are having "Help Problem's I would NEVER EVER recommend them to my worst enemy.."

Other things people in Sanford 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.
