Not sure if a tub or a shower makes more sense now?
Thinking through a shower-to-tub conversion for your home in The Villages, FL, before you commit either way.
Your home in The Villages has a shower, and you are wondering if you should bring a tub back. A tub is nice for a soak and handy when young grandchildren visit, and you have heard it can help at resale. You also worry you will regret the change in a few years.
This is less about tubs and showers and more about the people using the room. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. A tub matters more to families with small children. If you are weighing both, the deciding factor is usually who bathes here most and whether another tub is somewhere in the house.
If you choose the tub, the change is limited to the wet area. The shower comes out, a tub goes in, and a new surround in your chosen color and pattern covers the walls. The size of the space, the tub style, the wall finish and extras like a seat or grab bars decide how much work it is. Slip-resistant surfaces are an option for a tub too. Installs take in as little as one day, though some take a second day.
This week, ask yourself two plain questions. Is there another tub in the house? Who will use this bathroom most over the next few years? If another tub is already there, converting this one is rarely a problem. If getting over a tub side worries you, a walk-in shower may be the better fit. When you are ready, have Love Your Bath send a designer who listens and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote.
Once the decision is made, the bathroom works for your daily routine, not against it. Ruth F. wrote that the team was "very helpful choosing what would look good." You end up with a room that fits the people in it, and you made the choice with clear eyes.
What people in The Villages say
"We couldnt be happier with our experience. Very easy to talk to very helpful choosing what would look good. The timing was very close to what we were told. Our shower turned out beautiful and was done in 2 days. We are thrilled with it and really liked everyone that was involved. So glad we chose Love Your Bath. Would highly recommend them. Overall great experience!"
"The representative Chris Stone was on time for our consultation. He was informative,genuine and very personable. He answered every question we had and was completely thorough in his presentation. Jacuzzi is a long time respected name that is above and beyond our expectations. We called and spoke to other bath remodelers and they simply were all about the sale and not the customers. My husband and I highly recommend Jacuzzi Bath Remodelers."
"I just met with the professional designer and feel very confident that they will do a fabulous job and that the material that they use will be first class. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished shower!"
