Walk-In Showers in Kissimmee, FL
Designed in 3D, permitted with the right Osceola County or city office, and built by a licensed Florida general contractor that also holds its own plumbing license.
Walk-in shower projects in Kissimmee
Walk-in shower requests in Kissimmee come from two directions. Owners who have lived near Lake Toho or in Buenaventura Lakes for years want the garden tub or hall tub gone, replaced by a shower they can step into without lifting a leg over a tub wall, often with a bench and a handheld so it still works as they get older. Vacation home owners along US 192 have the opposite problem: guests who never touch the tubs but crowd into small fiberglass stalls. Converting those tubs to tiled walk-in showers fits how both groups actually use the bathroom.
What changes for a walk-in shower in Kissimmee
Most Kissimmee homes are slab-on-grade, so moving a tub drain to the center of a shower or to a linear drain means cutting concrete, and a curbless entry may mean recessing the slab. That drain and valve work runs under our own plumbing license, CFC1433952, and the permit goes to the City of Kissimmee Development Services Building Division or the Osceola County Building Office, depending on whether the parcel is inside city limits. Every pan gets a bonded membrane and a flood test before tile. Our Kingspointe Pkwy showroom is about 25 to 35 minutes away for tile and glass selections.
Local details we plan around
- Check city limits first: many Kissimmee addresses are unincorporated Osceola County, which changes the permit office and inspection scheduling.
- Vacation rental owners often need the work scheduled between bookings, with a property manager handling access and a firm finish date for the next guest.
- Rental homes take heavy wear, so we steer toward porcelain tile, quartz, solid-surface or tile showers and finishes that clean up fast between stays.
- Older homes near Lake Toho and downtown may hide older plumbing and electrical that a remodel has to bring up to current code.

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.

FAQ
Walk-In Showers in Kissimmee: questions
Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.
Should I keep one bathtub in my Kissimmee home or vacation rental?
Usually, yes. Families with small children, including many guests booking Kissimmee rentals, look for at least one tub. A common plan is to convert the primary bath and most secondary suites to walk-in showers and keep a tub in one hall or kids' bath. If the house has only one tub, we talk through resale and rental appeal before removing it.
Is my Kissimmee address in the city or in Osceola County?
It depends on the parcel, not the mailing address. Many homes with Kissimmee addresses, including Buenaventura Lakes, Bellalago and most resort communities along US 192, are in unincorporated Osceola County. The City of Kissimmee has a Check City Limits lookup on its website, and we confirm jurisdiction before we design so the permit goes to the right office.
Can you remodel my Kissimmee vacation rental while I live out of state?
Yes. We can measure with your property manager present, review the 3D design and material choices with you by video and email, and coordinate access through the manager during the work. We schedule around your booking calendar where possible and finish with a walk-through, by video if you cannot be there, before the next guests arrive.
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.
