Swapping a shower for a tub? Check the permit question first
Shower-to-tub conversion in Titusville, FL, and how to settle the permit question before work starts.
You want a tub back in the bathroom, but you do not want a surprise later. A missed permit can raise questions when a buyer looks at the house. Titusville is the county seat of Brevard County, and you can ask about permits for your job at your free design visit.
The worry is simple. You start a project, and later someone asks whether it was done with a permit. Changing a shower to a tub, or a tub to a shower, means taking out the old fixture and setting a new one with new walls around it. Whether that needs a permit is not a yes or no that fits every house. It depends on the rules where you live and on what your job includes.
Most of the work stays in one spot, the shower or tub area. Your floor and vanity are left alone. That keeps the job focused. Your plan still matters for the permit question, so it helps to know it first. The tub style you pick, the wall surround and any extras like grab bars or a seat all shape the final scope.
Before you sign anything, call your city or county building office and ask what applies to your address. Keep a note of who you spoke with and what they said. Then bring that answer, and any question you still have, to a free design visit with Love Your Bath. A designer hears what you want, then puts together a custom plan with options and a free quote. Get the permit question settled before any work is scheduled. Do not start first and sort it out later.
When it is settled, you can enjoy the tub without a nagging worry. You know what your job needed, and you can answer a buyer plainly if you sell someday. Laurel W. said this about her crew: "They were polite and diligent and excellent at their craft." That is the kind of calm finish to aim for.

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.
