Walk-In Showers in Maitland, FL

Often, yes. A curbless shower can make a small mid-century bath feel bigger, because the floor runs straight through. It does require lowering the slab inside the shower so water slopes to the drain, and sometimes a linear drain along the back wall. We check the slab and floor height at the first visit and tell you plainly if a low curb is the better fit.

For properties inside city limits, the City of Maitland Building and Permitting Division issues permits through its online system. Unincorporated parcels with a Maitland address go through the Orange County Division of Building Safety, and Eatonville, which shares the 32751 ZIP code, has its own town government. We confirm the jurisdiction from the property appraiser record before filing.

Often it is worth a look before you cover them. Terrazzo under old carpet in many 1950s and 1960s Maitland homes can be ground, patched and polished into a durable floor. If it is badly cracked or patched with mismatched sections, porcelain tile or waterproof plank over it is the practical choice. We assess the condition after a test area is uncovered.

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.
