Walk-In Showers in Ocoee, FL
Designed in 3D, permitted with the right Orange County or city office, and built by a licensed Florida general contractor that also holds its own plumbing license.

Walk-in shower projects in Ocoee
Tub-to-shower conversions are a natural fit for Ocoee, where many 1980s, 1990s and 2000s homes have a tub-shower combination in the hall bath and a fiberglass shower in the primary. Replacing those with a tiled walk-in shower, a recessed niche, a bench and frameless or fixed glass is one of the most requested bath changes here. Owners in the older homes near downtown often have a different reason: a single tub that has become hard to step over, and a need for a low-threshold shower with grab bars and a handheld head.
What changes for a walk-in shower in Ocoee
Converting a tub on slab means cutting the concrete to move the drain, and in the older homes near Starke Lake the original plumbing under the floor is often due for replacement while it is exposed. We do that work under CFC1433952, waterproof with a bonded membrane and flood test before tile. Homes inside city limits are permitted and inspected by the City of Ocoee Building Division; Ocoee addresses outside the city go to the Orange County Division of Building Safety. The drive from our Kingspointe Pkwy showroom is about 20 to 25 minutes.
Local details we plan around
- Ocoee has its own Building Division, but some Ocoee mailing addresses are unincorporated Orange County, so check the parcel first.
- Older homes near Starke Lake often have original plumbing and smaller electrical service that a kitchen remodel may need to upgrade.
- 1990s homes commonly have soffits and segmented kitchens, and opening them up affects lighting, ductwork and flooring together.
- Newer subdivisions usually require HOA approval for any exterior change before permitting.

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 Ocoee: questions
Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.
Can you replace the fiberglass shower in my Westyn Bay or Wesmere home with tile?
Yes. The fiberglass unit comes out in pieces, then we check the framing and slab behind it for moisture, set a new valve if needed, waterproof the walls and pan, and tile the shower. The new shower can usually keep the same drain location, or move it for a larger footprint. Interior work like this generally does not need HOA review.
Does the City of Ocoee issue its own building permits?
Yes. The City of Ocoee has its own Building Division that reviews plans, issues permits and performs inspections for homes inside city limits, using one electronic application for most permit types. If your Ocoee address is outside city limits, the Orange County Division of Building Safety issues the permit instead. We confirm which applies before applying.
Can you update a small kitchen in an older Ocoee home near downtown?
Yes. Many older Ocoee kitchens are small and closed off. We can often remove or open a wall to the dining area, reorganize storage with frameless cabinets that use space more efficiently and replace older plumbing while the room is open. Any wall removal is checked for structure first, and the work is permitted with the city.
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.
