The tub is getting harder to climb. What are your options?
Walk-in showers and other walk-in tub alternatives for homes in Winter Haven, FL.
The tub used to be no trouble at all. Now you hold the wall, lift one leg, then the other, and hope the floor is not slick. In Winter Haven, the Chain of Lakes City, you have more than one way to fix that, and a walk-in tub is only one of them.
The hard part is that high tub side. A walk-in tub has a door that opens and seals, so you sit down and soak. A walk-in shower has a low or barrier-free entry, so you walk right in. A tub-to-shower conversion replaces the tub with a Jacuzzi® shower in the same space. A built-in seat and grab bars can be added to a shower, so you can sit and hold on. Jeff A. wrote that "Joselito and his team did an outstanding job" after a bathtub became a walk-in shower.
All of these stay in the wet area, so floors and vanities are left as they are. For a walk-in tub, the price depends on the tub size and the accessibility and wellness features you choose. For a walk-in shower, it depends on the size and layout of the space, the base, the walls and finish, the fixture finish, and extras such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. Whichever you lean toward gets a free quote at your house that covers both product and installation.
Before you choose, ask two plain questions. Do you want to soak, or just wash without the climb? Do you want to sit while you do it? With those answers, book a design visit with Love Your Bath. A designer stops by your Winter Haven home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. All homeowners are asked to come to that meeting. If a grown son or daughter helps with decisions, ask them to come too.
Once the climb is gone, getting clean is easy again. You walk in and sit down. One Winter Haven shower replacement from 2025 has a fold-down seat, smooth Crystal Frost walls, Brushed Nickel fixtures and an exposed roller door. William M. wrote, "It looks wonderful and I am very happy!"

Other things people in Winter Haven ask
cost to remove a bathtub and make a walk-in shower
We take out the tub and put in a low-threshold or barrier-free shower in the same space, so you are not paying to move walls or plumbing in most homes. You pick the base, walls, seat and grab bars with a designer at home and get a free quote for the whole job.
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.
