Tub or shower: which one will you be glad you chose?
Help deciding whether a shower-to-tub conversion is right for your St. Augustine home, or if the shower should stay.
You keep going back and forth about the bathroom in your St. Augustine home. A tub feels right for bathing small children or for selling someday, but a shower is easier to walk into. You do not want to spend the money and then find out you picked wrong.
The back and forth is normal, because both choices have real upsides. A tub gives you a place to soak and a way to bathe young children. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into, with no tall side to climb over. Resale worries come up most when this would be the only tub in the house. The right answer depends on your household, not on a rule.
If a tub wins, the job is contained. The shower comes out and a tub goes in its place, with a new wall surround in the style you pick. Nothing outside the tub area changes. The size and layout of the space, the tub style, the walls and extras like grab bars set how big the job is. Installs take in as little as one day, and a second day is rare.
Spend a few minutes this week on two questions. Who will use this bathroom over the next few years? Is there another tub somewhere in the house? If there is, changing this one is rarely a problem. Then have Love Your Bath send a designer who listens and builds a custom plan with options, plus a free quote, so you can compare before you decide.
Once you choose, the doubt is behind you. You have the bathroom your household needs in St. Augustine, finished cleanly. Michael B. wrote that Jose and Garcia "left no mess!" That is a good way to close out a decision you have been chewing on.

Other things people in St. Augustine ask
shower to tub conversion cost
The cost depends on the space, the tub you choose and the wall surround style. We replace only what is needed, so it is far less than a full remodel. A designer measures at home and gives you a free, written quote.
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.
