Shower-to-Tub Conversion in Sarasota: What It Looks Like
How the work goes, what changes the price and which tub might suit you, for homes in Sarasota, FL.
Some people want a tub for grandkids who visit. Others want a deep soak, or a tub with a seat and grab bars that is easier to use. If your home is in Sarasota, in Sarasota County, here is what turning your shower into a tub really involves.
The shower and its walls come out, and a Jacuzzi® tub goes into that same space. You can choose a classic alcove tub, a deep-soaking tub or a walk-in tub. A walk-in tub has a low-threshold entry with an easy-to-open, water-sealing door, grab bars and an integrated seat. Around any tub, a new wall surround goes up in the look you pick. The work stays in the wet area, so the rest of the room is left as it is. In Sarasota, we have replaced three showers, one of them in 2024 with smooth Seaside walls, Brushed Nickel fixtures and a dual bypass door.
Sarasota is the county seat and ranks as a top U.S. retirement destination. In the 2020 census, 29.5% of its residents were 65 or older. Housing here mixes single-family homes, multi-unit buildings and mobile homes. None of that sets the price of your job. What sets it is your own space, so before the visit, think about who will use the tub over the next several years and how they will get in and out.
Every tub is quoted in the home, because no two bathrooms are the same. Price depends on the size and layout of the space, the kind of tub, the base, the wall style and finish, and the fixture finish. For a walk-in tub, it also depends on the tub size and the features you choose, such as water jets, heated air or quick drain. The free quote covers the product and the installation.
You call and set up a design visit, and all homeowners are asked to attend. A Love Your Bath designer listens and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. Ask every question you have at that visit. Next, you pick the tub, colors and finishes. Then the crew removes the shower and installs the new tub and walls. Lori B. wrote of the installers, "They didn't rush, they explained."
When the job is done, you have a tub that fits how you live. The walls are new, and your Jacuzzi® product carries a lifetime warranty that covers you for as long as you own the home. Cost, permits and whether the swap makes sense each have their own page below.
Common questions about shower-to-tub conversion in Sarasota
What people in Sarasota say
"I had my bathtub tooking out and had ashower only put in i can say we love the shower we also can say we had minor issue and we gave them a call and the company scheduled for someone to come out and fix our issue on four different occasions. So when they guarantee it I can honestly say they can guarantee it We're very happy that we went with this company.And they stand behind their product and work"
"Ricky and Shawn came to my 82 years old parents, who are very weak, bathroom into a walk in shower. They were very professional and nice and respectful. They didn't rush, they explained. Now 3months later the warranty or when you contact the company to fix the cracks, the managers or can I say you get the run around. That's the after effects. Pls get better. It should not take 3 months of calling to get work repair. Sorry but it's not fair to the older generation. Pls improve."
"We had a one day bath transformation done in a previous home. Comparing that to the recent one we had installed by Love Your Bath in our present home; there is no comparison. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. This bath conversion was more money but the quality of the materials and workmanship far surpasses the previous remodel. I will be honest and say that we had a few "glitches" along the way but at least everyone at Love My Bath were receptive to our issues and went out of there way to make things "right". We are more than pleased with the end result!"
"kevin and tyler did a great job with my install, will definitely tell all of my friends!"
"Tyler & Kevin were very professional. Always confirmed with us where we would like specific material to go. The shower looks beautiful. They clean and respectful of our house. Picked up all materials and cleaned up after themselves. Wonderful experience overall. Would definitely recommend your company."
"I had my shower stall done. My installer Jodeci was terrific. He did a great job. My new shower looks amazing. We love it. Jodeci came on Wednesday and was finished in Thursday. He completed this job all by himself . I was amazed he did this all by himself. I would recommend Jacuzzi, Love your Bath to everyone. Great experience from start to finish. Thank you Jacuzzi, Love your Bath for a great experience."
