Common Walk-In Shower Dimensions
Savvy homeowners do not need to sacrifice style for accessibility when it comes to a bathroom remodel. A walk-in shower offers timeless style, future-proofs your home and delivers a solid return on investment. Homeowners who renovate a bathroom to make it accessible for seniors or people with mobility limitations recoup more than 60% of the remodeling cost when they sell, according to the Journal of Light Construction.
Walk-in showers come in a variety of sizes to fit most bathrooms.*
Safe Step Walk-In Showers are designed to fit in the footprint of your existing tub-shower combo. During your free bathroom evaluation, a Safe Step design specialist will measure your space and provide you with a variety of options to match your design preferences and budget.

Shower Sizing & Dimensions FAQs
The average walk-in shower is 36 inches by 42 inches. Safe Step’s showers are designed to fit in the space of an existing tub-shower combo to offer a seamless upgrade.
While some building codes allow for showers measuring 30 inches by 30 inches, this size may feel cramped. We recommend a larger shower size that accommodates a fold-down seat or teak bench for added comfort.
Safe Step Signature Showers are fully customizable. You can choose from a variety of wall surround colors and styles, hardware, tile accents and more.
The minimum ADA requirement for walk-in shower is 36 inches by 36 inches. You will also need adequate floor space outside the shower to accommodate walkers or wheelchairs. Your Safe Step design specialist will ensure your walk-in shower meets your family’s mobility needs.
Frameless doors create a sleeker, more open look, making smaller showers feel larger and more luxurious. However, they require precise measurements and sturdy wall construction and are made of thicker glass to ensure proper support and water containment. If your frameless door pivots, you will need to allow space for clearance.
