Tub to Shower Conversion

Tub To Shower Conversion

 

Conventional bathtubs are becoming a thing of the past.  Tub to shower conversions are becoming more and more popular in both homes and buildings.  Whether you are getting older and it is becoming difficult to step in and out of your bathtub, or you are younger and probably prefer showering over a regular bath, conventional bathtubs are no longer the trend.  Many people both young and old are opting into a barrier free or low threshold shower, due to its easy of use, ease to clean, and just plain look.  Bathe safe provides solutions to fit everyone’s needs, by custom tiling showers, putting in quick one day installation showers, or if a quick and low cost solution is right for you, we can provide a tub cut.  For those seniors who still want to bathe, we also offer the option of a walk in bathtub.

Barrier free showers can be the best solution for those with limited mobility, and who may end up or are in a wheelchair already.  Barrier free showers usually provide about a 1 inch lip to keep the water in, but still let a wheelchair or shower chair easily roll in.  These showers can come in many different shapes and sizes.

If the job needs to be completed in one day, most of our customers opt for a Bathe Safe Barrier Free Shower Unit, which consists of 3 white shower walls, 1 white barrier free shower base, usually 1 or 2 grab bars, a new handheld shower head to allow for easier washing, built in or folding seat and a shower rod and curtain.

For people who want a nice tile look, we can create a custom shower for you.  We would usually tile 3 walls to the ceiling, create a mudpan and tile it or provide a barrier free shower pan for your shower.  These jobs tend to take 2-3 days due to the installation and drying of products.  When we do these types of showers, we usually replace any greenbaord and concrete board needed to keep the shower area working well.  We will also replace the valves and faucets with ADAcompliant sets.  Our custom showers come out looking better than you had imagined and are all different thanks to our customers personal touches and tile choices.

 

Low Threshold Showers can be the best solution for those who want to be able to easily get in and out of the shower, and are not currently in a wheelchair.  Low threshold showers usually provide about a 4 inch lip to keep the water in, allow for easy entrance and exit, but provide a little more security on holding in the water, for kids and grand kids showering.  These showers can come in many different shapes and sizes.
