What's the least expensive way to replace a shower?
A walk-in shower for Veterans that replaces just the shower, not the whole bathroom.
You want a new shower, not a torn-up bathroom and weeks of tile dust. If you are part of a Veterans household, the old tub or stall may be hard to step into, and you want a fix that is simple and fair on the wallet. Replacing only the shower is usually the smallest job that still gives you a real new one.
Many shower jobs cost more than they should because the plan starts too big. Someone says remodel, and suddenly it means new tile, new floors and weeks of mess. For many veterans, the real trouble is smaller. A tall tub wall is hard to step over, and a slick floor is a worry. You can fix that by replacing only the shower.
Replacing only the shower keeps the job small. A new base and wall system goes in over a cleaned-out space, with no full gut. It is a Jacuzzi® shower system, and most jobs take as little as one day. Some take a second day, rarely. Your price depends on the size and layout of the space, the base, the wall style and finish, and extras like a seat or grab bars. It is set once someone has seen your space.
This week, call Love Your Bath and say you are a veteran. Ask for a design visit. Tell the designer you want the shower replaced and nothing more, and ask about a low or barrier-free entry, a seat and grab bars. Here is how the company puts it: "We're proud to offer special savings to veterans, first responders, teachers, and families of children with disabilities. Ask your Design Consultant for details." Whether VA benefits or grants apply depends on you, so ask the VA directly and do not count on it.
When it is done, you step into a low-entry shower with a seat and grab bars where you want them. The surfaces are grout-free, so they stay easy to clean. RicoLab S. left a 5-star Google review after considering Love Your Bath for a disabled veteran family member: "Jerry was very reasonable in considering his needs and stood by his word."
