How Safe Step Converts Your Tub to a Walk-In Shower

Enjoy efficient, hassle-free installation when you choose a Safe Step Walk-In Shower. From the initial consultation to the final installation, we’ll help you transform your bathroom in a few easy steps. Our installation experts complete 95% of jobs in one day, minimizing disruptions to your routine.

Tub Removal

The Safe Step installation team will disassemble your old bathtub, removing and recycling or disposing of all materials. We work carefully to protect all floors, cabinets, fixtures and walls from damage.

Shower Placement Prep

Next, your installers will begin prepping the shower’s location, working with you to choose a space with sufficient room for easy entry and exit. Most walk-in showers can fit in the same or smaller footprint as your old bathtub.

Plumbing Rerouting

We make sure the shower drain, water supply lines and fixtures are set up optimally to prevent leaks and any issues. To accommodate your bathroom’s layout, the installers may need to reroute plumbing lines.

Shower Installation

Installers work quickly and carefully to get your shower fully installed, checking that all seals and plumbing function as intended. We’ll clean up then walk you through the features so you can enjoy your new walk-in shower as soon as possible.

What Safe Step Customers Are Saying

Safety, Comfort & Convenience Safe Step did a very nice shower. You step right into it and you’re right at floor level for the most part. I feel very comfortable. It’s a non-slip floor. There’s also a big safety bar on the side… The shower itself doesn’t come bursting out. It’s like rainfall. It’s soft and it’s very easy afterwards to wipe down and clean up. It’s an attractive piece of work and I like it.

I’m No Longer Scared To Shower I always feared taking a shower because I’d have to hold on with one hand because I was scared to stand in there. The Safe Step has impacted my life a lot. I feel very comfortable taking a shower. Before, I would say, ‘Oh, God, I gotta take a shower, but I dread it…’ This, I do not mind at all. It doesn’t worry me a bit.
