Tub-to-Shower Conversion for Indian Shores Homes
Nearly all of Indian Shores is multi-unit housing; close to nine in ten units are in buildings with two or more homes[1]. The median building dates from 1981, and close to half of the housing was built before 1980[1]. Many of those units still have the tub-shower combination they came with.
Converting that tub to a shower is one of the most common bathroom changes condo owners ask us about. The shower fits in the old tub space, the entry drops to a low curb, and the room feels larger without a tub wall in it.
How a Condo Conversion Works Here
The drain in a condo usually connects to a shared line, so we design the shower around where the drain can realistically go. The association typically sets work hours, elevator reservations and debris rules, and we plan the schedule around them.
The permit comes from the Town of Indian Shores Building Department[2], with an itemized cost valuation and, for work over $5,000, a Notice of Commencement[3]. On a flood-zone building, conversion costs count toward the town's 50% threshold over a rolling one-year period[4].

Do I need my association's approval?
Most associations require it for plumbing work. We supply the plan and schedule.
How long is the bathroom out of use?
Usually about a week or two, plus permit and inspection timing.
Will the conversion count toward the 50% limit?
If the building is in a flood zone, yes, measured over a rolling one-year period[4].
Can I keep a tub in a second bathroom?
Yes. Many two-bath units convert one and keep the other.
My unit had storm damage in 2024. Does that change the permit?
If the work relates to Helene or Milton, the town checklist asks for a substantial damage packet with the application[3]. We help assemble it.
