Old Ortega is one of Jacksonville’s most storied addresses — a riverfront neighborhood of oak-canopied streets and grand 1920s homes, developed under the “City Beautiful” movement and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Renovating a bathroom in a century-old Ortega home takes a different touch than a standard remodel, and Bath Planet of Jacksonville has been trusted with that work since 2014.
Many of the homes near Stockton Park and along Ortega Boulevard still have their original plumbing chases and plaster walls, so a successful update has to balance historic character with modern comfort. We’re BBB accredited with an A+ rating, and our services include:
- Bathtub Replacement
- Shower Replacement
- Bathroom Conversions
- Accessible Bathing Fixtures
Bathtub Replacement That Respects Ortega’s Character
Original clawfoot and cast-iron tubs are charming, but they’re often heavy, dated, and hard to maintain. Our bathtub replacement team can install a modern acrylic tub that fits the footprint of your original fixture without disrupting the historic feel of the room.
Showers Built for Century-Old Plumbing
Older Ortega homes weren’t built with today’s water pressure or fixture standards in mind. Our shower replacement team works within your home’s existing plumbing wherever possible to minimize disruption to original walls and flooring.
Bathroom Conversions for Historic Floor Plans
Many Old Ortega primary suites were designed around a formal soaking tub. Our bathroom conversion services can reconfigure that space into a walk-in shower — or the reverse — while keeping the room’s period details intact.
Accessible Bathrooms Without Losing the Home’s Charm
For longtime Ortega residents planning to stay put, our accessible bathing fixtures add safety features like grab bars and low-threshold entry in finishes that fit a historic home, not a hospital.
