What began as an outdated tub-and-shower combo—difficult to access and no longer safe for everyday use—has now been transformed into a bright, secure and easy-to-maintain walk-in shower designed for long-term comfort and independence.
Our team completed a full remodel from the inside out, taking the space through a detailed, professional step-by-step transformation:
Step 1: Careful Demolition
We began by removing the old fiberglass tub, surround and outdated shower valve.
To protect the home from dust and debris, we used a HEPA dust-collection system, ensuring a clean and controlled environment throughout the demolition.
All materials were hauled away, leaving a clean foundation for the rebuild.
Step 2: Preparing the Structure
Before any new materials were installed, we:
-
Prepped the walls with moisture-resistant greenboard
-
Installed solid wood backing inside the walls to support grab bars and the fold-down seat
-
Reconfigured the plumbing, including installing a new drain and relocating it to fit the new shower pan design
This step ensures long-lasting durability and safe support for ADA-compliant features.
Step 3: Installing the Barrier-Free Shower System
Next, we installed a beautiful, bright and modern white composite stone, slip-resistant, barrier-free shower pan—eliminating the old high tub wall that made entering unsafe.
To help prevent water from escaping while keeping the space fully accessible, the system includes:
-
A collapsible foam threshold
-
A shower-curtain clip for added water control
-
A three-wall acrylic surround in a fresh white color, creating a clean, polished look that instantly brightens the bathroom
Step 4: Modern Fixtures & Safety Features
We upgraded the plumbing with a new Moen single-handle posi-temp shower valve, paired with a coordinating handheld wand in brushed nickel.
A handheld mount was added next to the shower seat for convenience and accessibility.
For easy storage, we installed two brushed-nickel metal corner shelves, placed exactly where the homeowner requested.
To complete the shower enclosure, we supplied and installed a weighted, brushed-nickel shower curtain and rod, designed to stay in place and prevent spills.
Step 5: Comfort & Accessibility Enhancements
One of the most important features of this remodel is the t teak folding shower seat, installed with reinforced backing for total safety. Its warm wood tone adds beauty to the clean white shower walls.
We also installed:
-
A stylish Moen Designer Series 24″ brushed-nickel grab bar
-
ADA-compliant mounting and secure backing behind the wall
These upgrades make the new shower not only beautiful, but safe for daily use and long-term independence.
The Final Result
The old, enclosed tub with difficult access has been replaced with a bright, modern, walk-in shower that prioritizes safety, comfort and clean design.
Smooth walls, slip-resistant surfaces, sturdy grab bars, a comfortable fold-down seat and updated fixtures all come together to create a space that is easy to use and simple to maintain.
This transformation truly enhances the homeowner’s quality of life—turning a once-unsafe bathroom into a secure, inviting and fully accessible shower designed for years of comfort.
