Tub-to-shower conversion in Orlando, FL

Most Orlando hall baths still have the builder tub with a sliding door that nobody bathes in. A tub-to-shower conversion uses the same 60-inch footprint and the same drain location to give you a walk-in shower with a bench and a real door.

01 · What's included

What we do on this job.

It is the fastest way to make an old bathroom feel new, and it is the right move if stepping over a tub is getting harder.

  • Tub and surround removed and hauled away
  • Drain relocated or adapted inside the same footprint
  • New pan, cement board and waterproofing membrane
  • Wall and floor tile, niche and optional bench
  • New valve, shower head and trim
  • Glass door or panel
02 · Before the tile

The part you never see.

The tub hid the subfloor for decades. Once it is out we check for rot and old leaks, replace what is soft, and only then build the new pan.

Waterproofed first, tiled second

The teal on the left is the membrane, applied to every wall, the bench and the pan before tile. It is the part of the job you pay for and never see again.

The leak nobody could see

The call was about a dated shower door. When the pan came out, the subfloor under it was soaked from a slow leak behind the valve. We rebuilt from the joists up before a single tile went in.

05 · Questions

Tub-to-shower conversion: what people ask.

Questions we get asked

Does removing the tub hurt resale value?

Keeping one tub in the house is a good idea. Converting a second bathroom, or the only one when nobody uses the tub, is what most of our clients do.

Can the shower be bigger than the tub was?

Sometimes. If there is room to steal from a closet or a vanity we will show you at the visit.

How much demo is involved?

The tub, the surround and the wall board come out; the rest of the bathroom usually stays.

Can you add a bench?

Yes, framed and waterproofed with the walls, trimmed in the same tile.

Do you do conversions in St. Cloud and Kissimmee?

Yes, and everywhere within about 30 miles of Orlando.
