Least expensive way to replace a shower when you're aging in place?
A Jacuzzi® walk-in shower with an easy step-in, for seniors aging in place who want a new shower without a full remodel.
You want to stay in your own home, and the shower is getting harder to use. The edge is high, the floor is slick, and there is nothing solid to grab. But you do not want weeks of mess or a bill for a whole new bathroom. For seniors aging in place, the smart question is how to fix just the shower.
If you plan to stay in your home, the old tub or shower is often the first thing that gets in the way. The step over the edge is tall. The surface can be slippery. There may be nothing to hold. You need that fixed, but not by tearing the whole bathroom apart. The part that needs to change is the shower itself.
Instead of gutting the whole bathroom, Love Your Bath replaces only the shower with a genuine Jacuzzi® system. A new base and wall system goes in over a cleaned-out space. That means less work and less mess. The final price depends on the size and layout of your shower space, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. Every shower is quoted in the home, because no two bathrooms are the same.
This week, call Love Your Bath and ask for a designer visit at your home. The quote is free and includes the product and the installation. Walk the space with the designer and say what you need: a low or barrier-free entry, a built-in seat, grab bars where your hands naturally go. Ask what each extra adds, so you can see what moves the price and what does not. Plan to be home for the visit.
In as little as One Day, the old shower is out and the new one is in. Some installs take a second day, rarely. Janice S. wrote in a Google review, "The walk-in shower replaced the tub/shower, it is Gorgeous! I love it!" Your bathroom stays your bathroom, with an easier way in.
