Tub-to-Shower Conversion for Dunedin Homes
More than half of Dunedin's housing, 56.9%, was built between 1950 and 1979[1]. Homes from that era were nearly always fitted with a tub-and-shower combination in the hall bath, and often in the only bath. Decades later, many owners shower every day and rarely run a bath, which makes the tub wall the main obstacle in the room.
A conversion removes the tub and builds a shower in the same alcove. The drain usually moves a short distance toward the center, the valve is replaced, and the walls are rebuilt to take tile or panels. The result fits the room you already have without moving walls.

Condos, Villas and Ranch Homes
Dunedin has a large share of attached and multi-unit housing: 36.2% of units are in buildings of two or more, and 16.7% are in buildings of 20 or more[1]. In those buildings the association typically wants to see the plan, the schedule and proof of the permit before plumbing work starts. We prepare that package so the board can review it.
In single-family homes, the main questions are the slab, the drain line and whether the old wall framing is still sound. If the house sits in a flood zone, remember that Dunedin counts fixture replacement toward its 50% improvement total[2]. Permits are issued by the City of Dunedin Building Division[3].

Should I keep one tub in my Dunedin home?
If you have two baths, many owners convert one and keep a tub in the other. With a single bath, it comes down to whether anyone in the house still uses the tub.
Does my condo association need to approve the conversion?
Most do for plumbing work. Rules vary by building, so we provide the plan and permit information and work within the hours the association sets.
What if you find damage under the tub?
Older alcoves sometimes hide rot. If we find it, we show you and price the repair before continuing, so you decide with the facts in front of you.
Can the new shower have a seat?
Yes. Most 5-foot alcoves leave room for a tiled bench at one end, or a fold-down seat if you want the floor clear.
