Frequently Asked Questions

What does the plumbing scope of a tub to shower conversion include?

The plumbing scope typically includes removing the tub, relocating or capping supply lines, rough-in of the new shower drain, installation of the shower valve and trim, and final connection of the showerhead and handles. Tile work and the shower surround are handled by your tile contractor.

Do I need a permit for a tub to shower conversion in Sarasota?

In most cases, yes. Any work that involves moving or adding plumbing rough-in typically requires a permit in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. We can advise you on permit requirements during the estimate.

Can you move the drain location for my new shower?

Yes. We can relocate the drain to accommodate your new shower pan layout, though moving a drain in a slab foundation involves additional work and cost. We will assess the existing slab during the estimate.

How long does the plumbing portion of a conversion take?

The rough-in plumbing typically takes one day. Final connections after tile work is complete usually take a few hours. Total plumbing time depends on the complexity of the existing layout and any drain relocation needed.

Can you install a walk-in or roll-in shower for accessibility?

Yes. We install zero-threshold and roll-in shower drains and valves designed for ADA-accessible bathrooms. We work with your contractor to ensure the plumbing meets accessibility requirements.
