Looking for an alternative to a walk-in tub for the elderly?
Bathroom safety and accessibility options for Clearwater, FL homes, without the climb over the tub wall.
In Clearwater, plenty of people reach the point where the tub wall feels like a hurdle. You may have heard about walk-in tubs, but you are not sure one is right for you. There are several ways to make your bath easier to get into, and a walk-in tub is only one of them.
When lifting a leg over the tub wall gets hard, a walk-in tub is one answer. It is not the only one. Three other paths remove that climb: a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry, a tub-to-shower conversion, or a built-in seat and grab bars added to the space you have. Which one fits depends on how you move, who uses the bath, and the room itself.
The price depends on your choices, so an honest number comes after someone sees your bathroom. The size and layout of the space matter. So does shower or tub, the base, the wall style and finish, and extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars. For a walk-in tub, it depends on the tub size and the comfort features you pick. Installs take In as little as One Day, and some take a second day, rarely.
This week, write down what is hardest for you. Is it the step in, standing while you wash, or getting back up? Then ask a designer from Love Your Bath to visit your home. They can lay out a walk-in shower, a conversion, a seat with grab bars and a walk-in tub side by side, then quote the one that fits. Karen M. said her representative "showed me just about every option there was." Plan to be home for the visit.
Once it is done, you step in instead of climbing over. A built-in seat and grab bars sit where your hand and body expect them. The new shower is a genuine Jacuzzi® system, with grout-free antimicrobial surfaces that help reduce mold and mildew buildup. Cleaning gets simpler too.
What people in Clearwater say
"David H. Installed my new shower. It was not as I expected. This is because it far exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful and very functional. The exact colors were made to my specifications & it looks great. David even cleaned up following the installation. This company is great and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a beautiful walk-in shower. It has a built-in seat (David even made sure the seat was placed according to my height), 2 shelves, 2 safety grab bars and a new multi-functional shower head."
"Alec did a great job installing the new shower. He even cleaned up and made everything look perfect. And he was courteous and friendly."
"I met with Chris for a quote on an install. The products are beautiful. Chris was so easy to talk to and super friendly. I felt like I was meeting with a friend vs a sales person. Chris represents the company well!!"
