Looking for the least expensive way to get a new shower?
Replacing only the shower, not the room, explained for walk-in showers in Sarasota, FL.
The shower looks tired or will not come clean no matter how hard you scrub. You do not want months of contractors in the house, and you do not want to redo a bathroom that is otherwise fine. You live in Sarasota, and you want to know the plainest path to a new shower.
Here is the short answer. You do not have to remodel a bathroom to get a new shower. A shower replacement takes out the old base and walls and puts a new base and wall system in the same space. Nothing else in the room has to change. A Jacuzzi® shower system has grout-free, antimicrobial surfaces that help reduce mold and mildew buildup, and there is no grout to stain. You can also choose a low or barrier-free entry if the step in has become a problem.
The price is set by what you choose and the space you have. It depends on the size and layout of the shower area, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. The work stays in the wet area. Floors, vanities and full remodels are not part of it. Every shower is quoted in the home, and the free quote includes the product and the installation.
This week, measure nothing and buy nothing. Just list what is wrong with the shower you have and what you would want in a new one. Then call Love Your Bath and set up a design visit. A designer comes to your home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. All homeowners are asked to be there. Norma B. wrote that seeing an installer "cleaning up after one of his jobs" is what led to the call.
Afterward, you have a new shower in a bathroom you did not have to rebuild. One Sarasota shower from 2024 has Platinum walls in a random stone pattern and Chrome fixtures. Installers are primarily W-2 employees, the company's own people rather than outside crews for most jobs. Your mornings start in a shower that is easy to keep clean.
What people in Sarasota say
"We converted our garden tub to a huge walk-in shower. The men who did the conversion were very good. Matt and Philip were professional, efficient, and friendly. They did an excellent job. They were respectful of our property and made certain we were happy with their work before they left. So happy with our new shower."
"Love Your Bath are truly professional people from the salesman who came to my house, general manager and regional manager. Everyone I have talked to have been polite, kind and professional. Unfortunately due to my financial situation at this time I am not able to take advantage of their services and products. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to upgrade their bath to a walk-in shower. In the future when I am financially able to have this project done, I will be calling Love Your Bath."
"Connected with them via Costco. The installer was prompt, courteous and professional. Sales guy Derrick knows his stuff, very helpful. Ditto the support people. I wish I had been asked about shower head options - the standard fixed head is right out of the “Best Western” playbook. I’m capable of switching out their head with a more sophisticated individualized one, so this does not put a dent in my happiness level, these things happen. Now, if I can sell that installed, slightly used shower head to Best Western or Motel 6, or Bates Motel…awesome!"
