Turn an Unused Tub Into a Shower That Works Better
If your bathtub rarely gets used, takes up valuable space, or has become difficult to maintain, a tub-to-shower conversion can make your bathroom more functional. Viva Home helps Southwest Florida homeowners replace outdated tubs with custom-fit shower systems designed around their existing bathroom layout.
We handle the entire conversion, from removing the old tub to installing the finished shower. With 40 years of combined home improvement experience, a lifetime warranty on products and labor, and financing options available, we make the process easier.
What a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Includes
A tub-to-shower conversion replaces your existing bathtub with a new shower system using the same general footprint. This means you can update the function of your bathroom without changing the entire layout or taking on a full renovation.
Each conversion includes:
Removal of the existing bathtub
Installation of a custom-fit shower base
Waterproof wall system installation
New fixtures and accessories
Final cleanup and a ready-to-use shower
Every bathroom is different, especially in Southwest Florida homes where older layouts and condo bathrooms often have unique dimensions. We measure your space carefully and build the new shower around what you already have.
A Low-Maintenance Shower Without Grout Lines
Many homeowners choose a tub-to-shower conversion because they want a cleaner, easier-to-maintain bathroom. Traditional tile showers rely on grout lines that can collect moisture, discolor over time, and require regular cleaning.
The shower systems installed by Viva Home use nonporous acrylic and polymer materials designed for wet environments. The wall panels are 100% waterproof and installed without grout, helping to reduce the maintenance concerns associated with traditional tile.
Benefits include:
Resistance to mold, mildew, and staining
Easy cleaning with standard bathroom products
No grout lines to scrub or reseal
Durable surfaces designed for daily use
Wall panels are available in a variety of styles, including stone-look finishes, tile-inspired patterns, and wood-look designs. You can create the appearance you want while choosing materials that require much less upkeep.
Add Accessibility Features During Your Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion is also an opportunity to make your bathroom easier and safer to use. Instead of stepping over a high tub wall every day, you can create a shower with features that better fit your needs.
Available options include:
Low-threshold or zero-threshold shower bases
Barrier-free or curbless configurations
Built-in seating options
Grab bars placed where additional support is needed
These features can be especially helpful for homeowners planning to stay in their homes long term or anyone who wants a more comfortable bathing experience.
How the Tub-to-Shower Conversion Process Works
We keep the installation process simple and focused on minimizing disruption to your home.
1. Evaluate Your Bathroom:
We start with a consultation to review your current tub area, measure the space, and discuss your goals for the new shower.
2. Remove the Existing Tub:
Our team removes the old bathtub and prepares the area for the new shower system.
3. Install the New Shower:
We install the shower base, waterproof wall panels, fixtures, and selected accessories to create your finished shower.
4. Complete the Final Cleanup:
Once installation is complete, we clean up the work area and leave you with a shower that's ready to use.
Most conversions can be completed in as little as one day, with the finished shower typically ready to use 24 hours after installation.
Why Southwest Florida Homeowners Choose Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Many homeowners reach out for a tub-to-shower conversion because their current bathroom no longer fits the way they live.
Common reasons include:
Unused Bathtubs: A tub that rarely gets used can take up a large portion of the bathroom without providing much value.
Easier Maintenance: Replacing aging tile and grout with a grout-free system eliminates many of the cleaning challenges homeowners deal with.
Improved Accessibility: A walk-in shower design makes entry easier compared to stepping over a traditional tub wall.
Better Use of Space: A shower conversion can make a bathroom feel more open and functional without changing the entire room.
