Pricing a walk-in shower to replace your old tub?
What goes into the price of a tub-to-shower conversion in St. Petersburg, FL, in plain words.
You have been looking at photos of walk-in showers and wondering what yours would run. Before anyone comes to your St. Petersburg home, you want to know if this is realistic, which is fair. The answer depends on a short list of things you can start thinking about today.
There is a reason a quick online search never gives a straight number. Every conversion starts with a different tub space, and the shower that replaces it is built around your choices. The old tub comes out, a low-threshold Jacuzzi® shower goes in, and the job stays in the wet area. What you pay for is the shower system and putting it in.
Here is what the price depends on: the size and layout of the tub space, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and any extras, like a seat, shelves or grab bars. A 2024 St. Petersburg shower replacement shows how those picks look together: Platinum walls in a herringbone pattern, Matte Black fixtures and a fold-down seat. Each job is quoted in the home, and the quote, which is free, includes the product and the installation.
This week, jot down what you would want in the shower if you could have it all, then mark what you could do without. That list gives you something concrete to talk about. When you are ready, book a free design visit with Love Your Bath and ask all homeowners to join. The designer there listens closely and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. They offer financing, so ask about it if it would help. Ronelle B. wrote, "Jim was great! He explained everything completely and helped me with design."
Once you have the quote, you are working from your own numbers, not someone else's. You can decide what to keep, what to skip, and when to go ahead. You might say yes that week, or you might want time to think it over. Then the tub wall is no longer the hard part of your day.
What people in St. Petersburg 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."
"There aren’t enough stars to properly rate this company, they exceeded my expectations! From the initial visit with Jose thru installation the service was A1. I highly recommend I love my bath for your next remodel project, thanks to my project manager Kim and my installation lead Joselito for their professionalism it made the entire process from start to finish one of the best! Thank you!"
"We had a great experience with Love your bath. Theykept me updated on when materials would be here and scheduled my install as soon as the knew it arrived. David H the installer was on time, very professional and pleasant he was very neat put cloths down on the floor and covered the counters. He completed the install on time. Love the shower install, they may be a bit higher than other companies, but you can’t beat the lifetime warranty and it’s transferable. Highly recommended!!"

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
