A new shower in a day: is it worth it, or a rushed job?
What really happens on a one-day shower replacement in Tampa, FL, and how to tell good fast from bad fast.
If you are in Tampa and an ad promised a new bath in one day, you may be wondering where the catch is. Cheap parts? A crew that rushes out the door? Those are fair worries, and they are worth checking before anyone starts work in your home.
A shower can go in quickly because the job is limited to the shower. The floor, the vanity and the lights stay put. The old shower comes out, and a new base and grout-free wall system goes into the same space. With no tile to set and no grout to cure, the day is spent on the shower and nothing else.
Many installs take as little as one day, and a second day is rare. Jessie Y. a Tampa customer, said the installer from the Tampa office "was fast, professional, clean and very polite." Fast and careful can go together. What you pay depends on the space and your picks: the size, base, walls, fixture finish and extras like a seat.
Then look at who does the work. Love Your Bath installs mainly with its own crews, and its installers are primarily W-2 employees. Ask about the product as well, and make sure it is a genuine Jacuzzi® shower system. Speed means more when you know who is in your home and what is going into your bathroom.
When it is done, you have a shower ready to use and a bathroom that is still yours. FL P. wrote that the installers "completed the project in one day" after two days had been estimated. That is the kind of fast worth having.
What people in Tampa say
"When the istallation date arrived, I was quite surprised it was only one person who rang the doorbell. John Westfall arrived on time and proceded to the job at hand by himself. In less than two days he removed the bath tub, stripped the walls down to the studs, replaced all the plumbing with new, and installed an excellent looking shower with doors. My wife and I are very happy on how it all looks and works. After pricing out several companies, we were happy with our decision. Great job John and all. Thank you."
"Totally amazing job. The whole crew went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Kyle is a top notch installer and is attention to detail is amazing. Angela is super attentive to any questions we had and resolved and problems promptly. John kept in contact and made sure that everything was satisfactory. I would highly recommend having them do any job that you may need done. A ++++ all the way !!"
"Angie was a delightful installer. She explained everything as she efficiently went about her work. I have nothing but nice things to say about her and the shower looks great.😊"
Other things people in Tampa ask
how much does a shower replacement cost
The price depends on the shower size, the base and wall style, and the extras you choose such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. Replacing only the shower costs much less than remodeling the whole bathroom. A designer measures at home and gives you a free, written quote.
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.
