Tub-to-Shower Conversion for Oldsmar Homes
Many Florida homes built in the 1990s and 2000s came with a large corner or garden tub in the primary bath, beside a small stand-up shower. That is a general builder trend rather than an Oldsmar statistic, but it fits the town's housing: median build year 1988, with more than a fifth of homes built since 2000[1].
Owners tell us the tub is rarely used, while the shower is cramped. Converting the tub space, sometimes combined with the old shower, can give you a walk-in shower twice the size.

How We Convert a Garden Tub
The tub deck, tub and surrounding tile come out. We relocate the drain for a shower base, run supply lines for the new valve and any added outlets, and frame a bench or knee wall where the deck used to be. If the old shower stall is next to it, we can remove the wall between them and make one large shower.
Garden tubs often sit under a window. If it stays inside the new shower, we discuss privacy glass and keeping water off the sill, or rework the layout so the window falls outside the wet area. The space where the tub deck stood can become a long bench, which is useful for shaving legs or just sitting.
The permit comes from Pinellas County[2], and for flood-zone homes the work counts toward the 49% threshold[3].
