Real 2026 prices, the step-by-step process, and how proper waterproofing protects your home from Florida humidity — from Jacksonville’s trusted, Schluter Certified remodelers.
A tub-to-shower conversion modernizes the space and removes a major source of moisture — a smart move in Florida's humid climate.
That bathtub nobody uses is costing you more than floor space. In Florida’s humidity, an old tub surround is a magnet for mold, failing caulk, and hidden water damage. A tub-to-shower conversion is one of the most popular bathroom upgrades we do at Nunes 4 Flooring Corp — and one of the smartest for resale, accessibility, and a cleaner, more open bathroom.
This guide gives you real 2026 numbers from projects across Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and St. Johns, the exact process step by step, and the one detail that decides whether your new shower lasts 5 years or 20.
💡 Quick Verdict: Most tub-to-shower conversions in Jacksonville run $7,000–$12,000 and take 5–10 working days. The single biggest factor in whether it lasts is waterproofing — which is why we build every shower with the Schluter KERDI system.
Removing a rarely-used tub frees up space and improves ventilation — reducing the moisture mold loves.
There are four reasons we hear most often from clients across Northeast Florida:
Good to know: the Florida Building Code generally requires only one bathtub per home — so as long as one tub remains somewhere in the house, removing another is typically no problem. We’ll confirm this for your specific home before we start.

Every shower is built in a clear sequence — with waterproofing inspected before any tile goes on.
Here’s exactly what to expect when our team handles your conversion:
Most conversions take 5–10 working days, depending on tile complexity and glass lead time.
Proper waterproofing is what separates a 5-year shower from a 20-year shower in Florida.
This is where many cheap conversions fail. Florida’s high humidity and salty coastal air accelerate mold growth and break down poor waterproofing fast. A shower built over plain cement board with no membrane can trap moisture inside the wall — leading to leaks, mold, and structural damage you won’t see until it’s expensive.
Our team is Schluter Certified, and we build every shower with the Schluter KERDI waterproofing system. That fully bonded membrane keeps water where it belongs and is the difference between a shower that lasts and one that rots. Learn more in our guide on why Schluter KERDI matters for Florida showers.
A well-built walk-in shower is a strong selling point — as long as the home keeps at least one tub.
For most homes the answer is no — a modern walk-in shower is a selling point. The one caution: if your home has only a single bathroom with the only tub, families with small children may prefer a tub. In that case we’ll talk through your goals and the home’s layout before recommending a conversion. For everyone else, an upgraded shower usually adds appeal.
