What does it take to swap a bathtub for a walk-in shower?
Removing a tub for a walk-in shower in Winter Haven, FL: the steps, the choices and the quote.
That tub has been the hardest part of your bathroom for a while. You want it out, and you want a shower you can just walk into. In Winter Haven, before you call anyone, it helps to know how big the job is and what the cost hangs on. This page lays out both, in plain words.
Removing a tub for a walk-in shower is called a tub-to-shower conversion. The tub is pulled out. A Jacuzzi® shower base and wall system go into that same space. The new base has a low or barrier-free entry, so the tall side you step over now is gone. You can add a built-in seat and grab bars where they make sense for you.

The job covers the tub area and nothing outside it. Your floors and vanity stay out of it. What the job costs depends on the size and layout of the tub space, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. It is quoted in your home, free, with the product and the installation together. Installs take as little as one day, and some run into a second day.
This week, decide what you want from the new shower and who needs to weigh in. Would a seat help? Where should a bar go? Next, call Love Your Bath to line up a design visit. A designer visits your Winter Haven home, listens, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. All homeowners are asked to be home for it. Ask about every line on the quote, and take your time deciding.
Afterward, the tub is gone and so is the high wall. You step in, and the shower stays easy to clean. One 2025 Winter Haven shower replacement has Alabaster walls in a herringbone pattern and Matte Black fixtures. Kimberley C. wrote, "His scope of work was exactly what I had expected."
