Custom Shower Solutions Atlantic Beach
What's Included in Your Conversion
Your tub to shower conversion includes everything needed for a complete transformation. We provide the shower base, wall systems, plumbing modifications, and custom glass enclosure designed specifically for your space.
For Atlantic Beach homeowners concerned about accessibility, we offer low-threshold and barrier-free options. Given that over 30% of Atlantic Beach residents are 65 or older, these safety features are increasingly important for aging in place.
We also handle all permits and inspections required by Nassau County. Our installations meet all local building codes, and we coordinate with any other contractors if your project requires additional work. You get a complete, professional conversion without having to manage multiple vendors.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Atlantic Beach?
Most tub to shower conversions in Atlantic Beach take 2-4 days to complete, depending on your bathroom’s layout and any custom features you choose. We start by carefully removing your existing tub and making necessary plumbing adjustments.
The actual installation of your new shower base, walls, and glass enclosure typically happens over 1-2 days. We factor in time for proper curing of materials and any Nassau County inspection requirements.
Unlike some companies that rush through installations, we take the time to do it right. This means proper waterproofing, precise measurements for your custom glass, and attention to details that ensure your conversion will last for decades.
What's the cost range for bathtub replacement in Atlantic Beach?
Tub to shower conversion costs in Atlantic Beach typically range from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on the size of your space, materials chosen, and complexity of the installation. Basic conversions with standard materials start on the lower end, while custom glass enclosures and premium finishes increase the investment.
Atlantic Beach homes often require additional considerations due to their age and unique layouts. Some properties need extra plumbing work or structural adjustments, which can affect the total cost.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. Given Atlantic Beach’s high property values, most homeowners find that a quality conversion pays for itself in increased home value and daily convenience.
Do I need permits for a shower conversion in Nassau County?
Yes, most tub to shower conversions in Atlantic Beach require permits from Nassau County, especially when plumbing modifications are involved. We handle all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections as part of our service.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, which we factor into your project timeline. Nassau County inspectors check that all plumbing work meets code and that proper waterproofing has been installed.
Working with a licensed contractor like us ensures your conversion meets all local requirements. We’ve been working with Nassau County building departments for over 20 years, so we know exactly what inspectors look for and how to get approvals efficiently.
Can you make my shower wheelchair accessible during conversion?
Absolutely. We specialize in barrier-free and low-threshold shower conversions that meet ADA accessibility standards. This is especially important in Atlantic Beach, where many homeowners are planning to age in place.
Barrier-free showers eliminate the step-over threshold entirely, allowing wheelchair or walker access. Low-threshold options provide a minimal step (usually 2-3 inches) that’s much safer than standard tub walls while maintaining proper drainage.
We can also install grab bars, built-in seating, and handheld shower fixtures as part of your conversion. These modifications don’t just help with current mobility needs—they’re smart planning for the future and can significantly increase your home’s appeal to potential buyers.
Will removing my bathtub hurt my home's resale value?
In Atlantic Beach’s market, removing an unused bathtub typically doesn’t hurt resale value, especially when replaced with a well-designed shower. With over 60% of homeowners preferring showers according to recent surveys, you’re aligning with buyer preferences.
Atlantic Beach buyers, particularly those in the 45-65 age range who make up a significant portion of the market, often prioritize safety and convenience over soaking tubs. A modern, accessible shower can actually increase your home’s appeal.
The key is doing the conversion professionally with quality materials and proper installation. A poorly done conversion can hurt value, but a professional installation that improves functionality and aesthetics typically adds value, especially in Nassau County’s competitive market.
What type of glass works best for Atlantic Beach coastal conditions?
For Atlantic Beach’s coastal environment, we recommend tempered glass with protective coatings that resist salt air and humidity. The proximity to the ocean means your shower glass faces more challenging conditions than inland properties.
We use low-iron glass options that stay clearer over time and don’t develop the greenish tint that standard glass can get. Anti-spot treatments help prevent water spots and mineral buildup, which is especially important with Long Island’s hard water.
Frameless glass enclosures are popular in Atlantic Beach because they’re easier to clean and maintain in the coastal environment. The clean lines also complement the modern aesthetic that many homeowners want when updating their bathrooms.
