For Palmetto Bay homeowners
A shower that works better in your current bathroom
Palmetto Bay is a quiet, family-friendly village south of Pinecrest. You see a lot of ranch-style homes from the 60s and 70s on larger lots. Many families are renovating instead of moving.
The design can respect a ranch-style or larger-lot home with simple tile, clear glass, a reachable niche, and a low entry that feels natural.
Same footprint
Keep the tub footprint when that makes sense for the budget and the way you use the room.
Real waterproofing
We prepare the pan, walls, niches, and corners before the finished surface goes in.
Glass and storage
Choose the panel, door, niche, and fixtures that keep the room comfortable and easy to clean.
More comfortable entry
A low curb, seat, grab bars, and handheld shower can be built into the design.

Questions about your project
How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost in Palmetto Bay?
In Palmetto Bay, a standalone conversion is usually planned between $4,500 and $12,000. The range changes with the shower size, tile, glass, waterproofing, fixtures, and whether the plumbing stays close to its current location. The final number needs bathroom measurements and a look at the existing tub area. Broke & Fixed starts with a price-range form so you can decide whether the project fits before sorting through every material choice.
How long does the project take in Palmetto Bay?
A tiled same-footprint conversion usually takes five to eight working days in Palmetto Bay. The work includes protection, demolition, tub removal, preparation, waterproofing, tile, grout, fixtures, and glass. A complex pattern, hidden damage, drain change, or custom glass can add time. Before work starts, you receive a schedule that shows when the shower will be out of service and when it can be used again.
Can you replace only the tub area in my Palmetto Bay bathroom?
Yes. Many conversions focus on the tub area and leave the vanity, toilet, and rest of the room in place. That works when the bathroom floor, walls outside the wet area, and existing fixtures are still in good condition. We review the space, talk through entry, storage, seating, tile, and glass, then define the scope. If the rest of the bathroom also needs work, you can compare a focused conversion with a larger remodel instead of guessing which path makes more sense.
