Walk-In Showers in Dr. Phillips, FL

Yes, and it is one of the most common conversions in Dr. Phillips. We remove both, relocate the drain in the slab and build one larger shower across the combined space, often with a bench and a frameless glass panel. A window in that wall gets a sealed sill and privacy glass where needed. The plumbing is permitted with Orange County.

Orange County, for nearly all Dr. Phillips homes. The area is unincorporated, even though many mailing addresses say Orlando, so permits go through the Orange County Division of Building Safety. A few parcels nearby are inside City of Orlando limits. We check the parcel record before applying so the application goes to the right office.

Usually, yes. Filling a sunken living area means building up the slab level so the floor runs continuously, and removing kitchen soffits means rerouting any ductwork, wiring or plumbing inside them. We open an inspection point when needed during the in-home visit so the estimate reflects what the soffit actually contains.

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.

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.

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.
