How much does it cost to put a tub where a shower is?
What sets the price of a shower-to-tub conversion in Sarasota, FL, and how to get a firm number.
You are tired of a shower-only bathroom, or you want a tub so the house suits more buyers someday. Before anything else, you want to know the cost. Here is how that works for a home in Sarasota, with no sales pitch, just the parts that move the number.
In this job, the shower and its walls are taken out and a Jacuzzi® tub is set in their place, with a new wall surround around it. Nothing outside the wet area is part of the work. You are not buying new floors, a new vanity or new lights. Think of it as trading one fixture for another, not starting over.
What you pick shapes the price. A classic alcove tub, a deep-soaking tub and a walk-in tub are different choices, and a walk-in tub's size and features count too. The size and layout of your space matter. So do the base, the wall style, the finish and the fixture finish. Add a seat, shelves or grab bars and the number changes again.
Book a free design visit this week, and plan for all homeowners to be there. Love Your Bath sends a designer who listens, then builds a custom plan with options and a free quote that covers both the product and the installation. DEANNA M. wrote, "Her product knowledge was second to none." Write down the features you care about most before the visit, so nothing gets missed. Ask about financing at that visit if paying over time would help.
When it is all settled, you know the number and what it buys. No more guessing at a price you found online. The shower is gone, and a tub sits in its place, ready for a soak. For a look at what a finished job can be, a Sarasota shower replacement from 2024 used Platinum walls in a random stone pattern with Chrome fixtures.

Other things people in Sarasota 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.
