Want the bathtub gone and a walk-in shower in its place?
What swapping a tub for a walk-in shower really involves, for homes in Spring Hill, FL.
Maybe the tub has not held a bath in years, and stepping over its side to shower has turned into a chore. You would rather walk straight in, but you have no idea if pulling the tub out is a small job or a big one. If you live in Spring Hill, a planned suburban community founded in 1967, here is a plain answer before you call anyone.
If your tub is mostly a place to shower, you lift a leg over its side every time you wash. Taking it out is called a tub-to-shower conversion. The tub comes out, and a shower base and walls go into the same spot. What you get is a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry. You step in instead of stepping over.
There is no set price, because every bathroom gets quoted in the home. The number depends on the size and layout of the space, the base you choose, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. That quote covers the product and the installation. The install itself can take as little as one day. Some take a second day, rarely.
Before you call, jot down what bothers you about the tub and what you want in its place, like a seat or a grab bar near the entry. Then call Love Your Bath and set up a visit. A designer comes to your Spring Hill home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. All homeowners are asked to be at that visit, so pick a time that works for each of you.
Once it is done, the tall tub side is gone. You walk into a Jacuzzi® shower with a seat and grab bars where you asked for them, and grout-free walls that help reduce mold and mildew buildup. Rebecca P. put her own job simply: "We converted our garden tub to a huge walk-in shower."

Other things people in Spring Hill ask
alternative to a walk-in tub for the elderly
The most common alternatives are a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry, a tub-to-shower conversion, and adding a built-in seat and grab bars. Each one removes the climb over the tub wall. A designer can show you all of them side by side at home and quote the one that fits.
least expensive way to replace a shower
The lowest-cost way to get a real new shower is to replace just the shower: a new base and wall system installed over a cleaned-out space, with no full gut. That is what we do with Jacuzzi® shower systems, and most jobs take as little as one day.
