Walk-in shower projects in Clermont

In Clermont, walk-in showers are most often about staying in the home. In Kings Ridge, Summit Greens and the other 55+ communities built in the 1990s and 2000s, the typical primary bath has a garden tub that has become hard to climb into and a separate stall with a tall curb. Owners ask us to turn that space into one larger shower with a curbless or very low entry, a built-in bench, a handheld on a slide bar and grab bars anchored in solid blocking. Families in newer south Clermont homes ask for a similar conversion for a cleaner, more open bath.

What changes for a walk-in shower in Clermont

Most Clermont homes sit on a slab, so a curbless shower means cutting and lowering the concrete inside the shower area and moving the drain, which we do under our own plumbing license. The permit goes to City of Clermont Building Services inside city limits, or to the Lake County Office of Building Services for unincorporated parcels, many of them south along US 27. In 55+ communities we follow association rules on work hours, parking and dumpsters. Our Kingspointe Pkwy showroom is about 30 to 40 minutes away, so you can see tile, glass and bench options before choosing.

Local details we plan around

  • Many Clermont addresses are unincorporated Lake County, not the City of Clermont, so check the Property Appraiser record before applying.
  • Hilly lots mean more water coming toward doors and windows in summer storms, so flashing and exterior sealing deserve extra attention.
  • 55+ communities lean toward aging-in-place design: curbless showers, grab bar blocking, comfort-height vanities and wider walkways.
  • Outdoor kitchens and lanai upgrades are a real local interest and often need both association approval and a permit for gas, electric or plumbing.

Scope

What the work includes

  • Tub removal and demolition

    We remove the tub or old shower, the surround and the wall tile down to the studs, and check the framing, slab and subfloor for water damage before anything new goes in.

  • Drain relocation in the slab

    Tub drains sit at one end; shower drains sit in the center or along a wall. We cut the slab, reroute and slope the drain, and get it inspected before patching.

  • New valve and shower heads

    Pressure-balancing or thermostatic valves, rain heads, handheld showers on slide bars and body sprays, roughed in at heights that suit the people using the shower every day.

  • Waterproofing and flood test

    A bonded waterproofing membrane or a sloped pan liner, sealed at the drain, valve, niche and bench, then flood tested before a single tile is set.

  • Tile, niches and benches

    Porcelain or ceramic tile on walls and floor, recessed niches placed where you can reach them, and a built-in or floating bench framed and waterproofed with the rest of the shower.

  • Glass and finish work

    Frameless doors, fixed panels or a walk-in layout with no door, measured after tile is finished. Then trim, paint, grout sealing where needed and a final walk-through.

    3D design rendering

    Your measurements become a 3D model, so you see the layout, cabinet heights and finishes before anything is ordered or torn out.

    You choose cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures with our designer in the Kingspointe Pkwy showroom, against the final design.

  4. 04

    Ordering and permits

    We order material, check every item against your selections, and pull the permits the scope needs.

  5. 05

    We build, then walk it with you

    Our crew and licensed trades do the work and pass inspections. We finish with a walk-through, room by room.

FAQ

Walk-In Showers in Clermont: questions

Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.

Can grab bars and a bench go into a Clermont shower without making it look clinical?

Yes. We frame solid blocking into the walls during the remodel, so grab bars can go wherever they are needed now or later, and we choose bars in the same finish as the faucet and shower head. A floating or tiled bench, a niche at a comfortable height and slip-resistant tile in a color you like make the shower safer while still looking like a well-designed bathroom.

Who issues the permit for my Clermont remodel, the city or Lake County?

It depends on whether the parcel is inside Clermont city limits. Lake County advises checking the Property Appraiser record: if the Millage group and City field lists Clermont, the City of Clermont Building Services handles the permit; if it says unincorporated, the Lake County Office of Building Services does. Many south Clermont addresses are unincorporated.

Do you remodel bathrooms in Kings Ridge and Summit Greens?

Yes. Bathroom remodels in Clermont's 55+ communities are common, usually replacing a garden tub with a low or curbless walk-in shower, adding blocking for grab bars, and installing comfort-height vanities and better lighting. We check your association's rules for contractor hours and access before scheduling, and handle the permit with the city or Lake County.

How much does a walk-in shower cost?

It depends on how much the plumbing moves, the shower size, the tile and the glass. A conversion that stays in the tub footprint with a low curb is a smaller project than a curbless shower that recesses the slab and uses a linear drain and large frameless glass. We give a written estimate after measuring your bathroom at home.

How long does a tub to shower conversion take?

Most tub to shower conversions take about 2 to 3 weeks of work on site, plus time for the glass. Demolition and plumbing take a few days, waterproofing and tile about a week or two, and the glass is measured after tile and installed 1 to 2 weeks later.

Do I need a permit to convert a tub to a shower in Florida?

Usually yes. A tub to shower conversion changes the drain and the valve, and plumbing changes generally require a permit from your city or county building department. We pull the plumbing permit under our own license, schedule the inspections and close the permit out, so the work is on record when you sell.
