Shower & Bathtub Installation In Fort Myers, FL
New shower and bathtub installation, replacement, and walk-in tub-to-shower conversions, with plumbing work handled correctly the first time.
What We Handle
Shower and bathtub calls in Fort Myers range from a straightforward like-for-like replacement to a full walk-in shower conversion for accessibility. Homes with an older tub-shower combo sometimes want to convert to a curbless walk-in shower, which involves real plumbing work beyond just swapping fixtures, including drain relocation and proper slope for water drainage. Hard local water can also accelerate wear on shower valves and fixtures, which is worth factoring into a replacement decision if the existing unit is already showing scale-related issues. Retirees and long-term residents planning to stay in their homes are a common source of accessibility-focused conversion calls, since a walk-in shower removes a real fall hazard that a traditional tub presents over time.
When To Consider This
Cracked Or Leaking Tub
A cracked tub or persistent leak at the drain or overflow often means replacement rather than repair, especially on an older fiberglass unit.
Accessibility Needs
Converting a tub to a curbless walk-in shower is a common request for homeowners planning to age in place.
Outdated Fixtures
Worn valves, low water pressure, or dated finishes are common reasons for a full shower or tub update, especially in homes over 15 to 20 years old.
Remodel Or Renovation
A full bathroom remodel often includes new plumbing rough-in for a repositioned or upgraded shower or tub.

We handle the plumbing side correctly, drain relocation included.
What Installation Costs
Upfront price confirmed after evaluating your bathroom's existing plumbing.
Shower and bathtub replacement for wear or age is not something homeowner's insurance typically covers, since it's considered a home improvement rather than damage repair. A sudden crack causing an active leak is sometimes a different situation worth mentioning if you're filing a claim.
What To Check First
- Measure your existing tub or shower's dimensions if you know them, since that helps scope whether a like-for-like replacement or a larger change is involved.
- If considering a walk-in conversion, think about whether drain relocation and floor slope changes are something you've discussed with a contractor already.
- Note any existing leaks or soft spots around the current unit, since that can indicate hidden water damage worth addressing during the install.
- If accessibility is a priority, think about grab bar placement and bench seating options, since those are easier to plan for before installation than to add afterward.

Yes, grab bars, bench seating, and other accessibility features can be included as part of a walk-in conversion, planned in from the start rather than added later.
Often Needed Alongside
If the existing shower valve is showing hard-water wear, it's worth checking whether a faucet repair elsewhere in the home reveals the same pattern. Homes with a full bathroom remodel in progress sometimes also need toilet installation handled in the same visit, along with a look at the water heater if it's original to the home.
