Looking for an alternative to a walk-in tub for the elderly?
Walk-in showers and other easy options for Sanford, FL homes, so no one has to climb over the tub wall.
Getting over the tub wall used to be nothing. Now it takes a hand on the wall and a held breath. Maybe someone told you to get a walk-in tub, and you are not sure that is right. If you live in Sanford, you have other choices, and it helps to see them before you decide anything.
Stepping over a tub wall is hard on the knees, hips and balance. It is a common reason people start looking at walk-in tubs. But a walk-in tub is only one answer. The most common alternatives are a walk-in shower with a low or barrier-free entry, a tub-to-shower conversion, and adding a built-in seat and grab bars. Each one removes the climb over the tub wall.
There is no single price, because no two bathrooms are the same. The job depends on the size and layout of your shower or tub space, whether you want a shower or a bathtub, and the base, wall style and finish. Fixture finish matters too. Extras like a seat, shelves or grab bars change the quote. For a walk-in tub, the tub size and the comfort features you choose also matter.
This week, ask a designer to come to your home. Love Your Bath can lay out a walk-in shower, a tub-to-shower conversion and a seat-and-grab-bar plan side by side, then give you a free quote on the one that fits. You pick the colors, finishes and safety features in a Jacuzzi® shower system. One Sanford shower replacement in 2024 got smooth Alabaster walls, Matte Black fixtures and a teak seat.
Picture stepping into your shower instead of climbing over a wall. You sit on a seat when you want to, and a grab bar is right where your hand goes. The surfaces are grout-free and antimicrobial, so they help reduce mold and mildew buildup. The lifetime warranty covers you for as long as you own the home.
