Why Choose a Shower Remodel?
Rest assured, whether you choose to replace an existing shower or invest in a bathroom overhaul, the project will help boost the value of your home. An upscale bathroom remodel delivers an average return on investment of 42%.
If you’re considering a bathroom upgrade, start by understanding the investment you want to make in enhancements. Knowing your budget will help you determine if you want to start an extensive remodeling project or focus on a simple shower replacement.
Shower Remodel vs. Replacement
During our free, in-home consultation, a Safe Step design consultant will evaluate your space and work with you to find a solution that matches your household’s needs and finances. To help you prepare, explore the five differences between a remodel and a replacement:
| Remodel | Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | A broader project with structural changes that relocate plumbing, including changing the shower’s size or location. | Installing a new shower within the existing footprint of your current stall shower or tub-shower combo. |
| Focus | From paint color to layout, a remodel is a complete overhaul of the bathroom. Whether you’re reconfiguring your bathroom for usability or knocking down a wall to add space, a successful remodel requires careful planning. | Updating the shower’s appearance and functionality without altering plumbing or the bathroom’s current layout. |
| Complexity | Higher, as it could involve significant planning, plumbing and electrical work, as well as potential structural repairs. | Lower, a replacement typically doesn’t involve moving plumbing or structural work. |
| Timeline | Slightly longer, depending on the changes. | Fast turnaround. With Safe Step, your bathroom upgrade can be finished in as little as one day. |
| Cost | A remodel offers a strong return on investment but requires a higher upfront cost. | A simple replacement generally costs less and Safe Step’s lifetime-limited warranty offers assurance on your investment. |

FAQs
Each Safe Step Walk-In Shower is designed to fit the same or similar footprint of traditional showers, minimizing the need for extensive renovation and streamlining the installation process. Our certified installers are trained to install new walk-in showers in as little as one day, working carefully to minimize disruptions to your routine while ensuring the shower, plumbing, fixtures and features all work effectively.
Yes, we always recommend working with professional installation teams when converting your shower to a walk-in shower. From demolition and removal to installation, the process requires specialized knowledge of plumbing, tiling, drywall and, in some cases, electrical work. While walk-in showers are quicker to install than walk-in tubs due to their design, DIY work done improperly could mean leaks, extra repair costs later and a voided warranty.
Yes, upgrading your shower to a walk-in shower may increase your home’s value, given its wide range of features, design, premium materials and cost. Walk-in showers make bathing more accessible for anyone looking for a safer, more therapeutic experience compared to a traditional shower.
Maintenance is simple and similar to a traditional shower, though always check product care recommendations for your specific walk-in shower model. The minimalistic design allows for easy cleaning—the floor funnels water to the drain, preventing soap scum or dirt build-up, and there are no door handles, hinges or crevices you’ll need to clean. For regular maintenance, gently rinse away any excess soap, then wipe down the faucets, shower head and walls with a microfiber cloth.
