Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Broward & Palm Beach County, FL
Pull the unused tub. Step into a roomy, modern walk-in shower with custom tile, a built-in bench and frameless glass, usually in about a week. R&R Repair & Remodel is a family-owned, South Florida bathroom specialist serving Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Davie, Weston, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs and Boca Raton.
A tub you don't use is just wasted square footage.
For most South Florida homeowners, especially 55+ neighbors, a walk-in shower is safer, easier and gets used every single day. Here's what the swap actually delivers.
Safer entry
Step over 2 inches instead of 14. Fewer slips, fewer falls, huge for aging-in-place.
Modern, brighter look
Trade a dated tub-shower combo for floor-to-ceiling tile and frameless glass.
Actually used every day
Most Broward homeowners stopped using the tub years ago. A walk-in shower gets used.
Bigger feel, same footprint
Pulling the tub opens up the room without moving a single wall.
Faster than a full remodel
Most conversions wrap in 7–10 working days, not 4–5 weeks.
Better resale
South Florida buyers consistently prefer a beautiful walk-in shower in the primary bath.
A clean, predictable 7–10 day project.
Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most rewarding remodels we do, small enough to finish quickly, big enough to completely change how the bathroom feels. We handle demo, waterproofing, tile, glass and finish under one roof.

How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost in Broward County?
Most tub-to-shower conversions in Broward and Palm Beach County run $6,500–$11,000 depending on tile, glass and whether the drain has to be moved. Every R&R quote is free and itemized.
How long does the conversion take?
Plan on 7–10 working days from demo to final walkthrough. Custom tile patterns or moving plumbing can add a few days. We give you a real schedule in writing before we start.
Can I get a curbless (no-step) shower?
Yes, curbless and low-threshold showers are some of our most-requested setups, especially for homeowners planning to age in place. We frame the floor properly, install a linear drain, and waterproof so water stays in the shower.
Do I need a permit in Fort Lauderdale or Broward County?
If plumbing is moved or electrical is touched, yes. A straight tub-to-shower swap in the same footprint often does not require a permit. We pull and manage permits for you whenever they're required.
Will it hurt my home's resale value to remove the tub?
If you have at least one tub left in the home (typically in a guest bath), converting the primary bath to a walk-in shower usually helps resale in South Florida. If it's your only tub, we'll talk through the trade-offs honestly.
Can you add grab bars and a bench?
Absolutely. We add solid blocking inside the wall so grab bars can be installed exactly where you need them, and built-in tile benches are part of our standard scope when there's room.
Do you handle the plumbing yourselves?
Tile, waterproofing and rough-in work are done in-house. Licensed plumbing changes are done by the same trusted licensed pros we use on every job.
