How much to swap your shower for a soaking tub?
The real price drivers behind a shower-to-tub conversion in St. Augustine, FL, without the guesswork.
Your St. Augustine home has a shower where you would rather have a tub, whether for bath time with the kids or for the day you sell. You have looked for a price online and found numbers all over the map. What you want is a straight answer about what changes the cost.
Online prices swing so widely because they are not looking at your room. Turning a shower into a tub means removing the shower, fitting a tub to that space and putting up a new surround. Each of those steps depends on the size of your space and on what you choose. Two homes on the same street can end up with quite different quotes.
A few things push the number one way or the other. A larger or oddly shaped space takes more work. A deep-soaking tub is a different choice than a classic alcove tub. Wall style, base and finish each play a part, as does a fixture finish like the Chrome on a 2025 St. Augustine bathtub replacement. Extras like a built-in seat, shelves or grab bars add to it. What keeps the job smaller than a full remodel is that only the tub area is touched.
Start by deciding what matters most to you: depth for soaking, a seat, grab bars or a certain wall color. Then schedule a design visit with Love Your Bath, and have all homeowners there. The designer listens to what you want and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote that covers both the tub and the installation. Skip any quote given over the phone by someone who has not seen the space.
After the visit, you know where you stand. You have a price tied to your room and your choices, and you can decide on your own time. If you go ahead, the tub carries a lifetime warranty that covers you for as long as you own the home. That is one less thing to budget for down the road.
What people in St. Augustine say
"From my initial conversation at Costco to our sales rep visit with Mike and finally with our installer, Jodeci, we had a wonderful experience. We had a bathtub to shower remodeling done. All of them were courteous, professional and most importantly, honest. Jodeci, came in and did his work. While here, he kept the bathroom area clean by using fans, open windows and keeping doors shut. He kept us in the loop as to what he was doing along the way. By the time he finished, the new shower was exactly as promised. Thank you Jodeci for a job well done. I would recommend this company for any future remodels."
"We are thrilled with the customer service and their product! We were particularly impressed with our shower refinishing team of Joselito and Angel! They were prompt, professional, and personable. They arrived on time, finished in a timely manner, and did a perfect installation and meticulous clean-up. Highly recommend!"

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
