"We just had a bathtub removed and a new shower installed. Shawn did an excellent job and cleaned the mess every single day before he left. He works by himself so it took a week for the job to be completed. I would highly recommend Bath Solutions by Special T."

1. Walk-In Showers
Walk-in showers are designed to provide easy access without the need to step over a high bathtub lip. These showers are ideal for individuals with limited mobility, allowing for a safe and comfortable bathing experience. We offer a range of designs, including barrier-free, low-threshold, and roll-in showers, to suit your needs and space.
FAQs:
Q: What’s the difference between a walk-in shower and a traditional shower?
A: A walk-in shower typically features a low or no threshold, eliminating the need to step over a high edge. This makes it easier and safer for individuals with mobility impairments to get in and out of the shower.
Q: Are walk-in showers completely barrier-free?
A: We offer both barrier-free showers (no lip or step) and low-threshold options, depending on your needs and the layout of your bathroom. Our team will help you choose the best design based on your preferences and space.
Q: Can a walk-in shower be customized?
A: Yes, walk-in showers are highly customizable. We offer a variety of materials, tile options, and shower fixtures, so you can design a space that matches your style while meeting your functional needs.
Q: How long does it take to install a walk-in shower?
A: Installation typically takes 2-4 days, depending on the complexity of the design and the materials used. We’ll provide you with a timeline and keep you updated throughout the process.
2. Wheelchair Accessible Showers
Wheelchair accessible showers are designed to accommodate individuals who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids. These showers are spacious, with ample room for a wheelchair to maneuver. We offer custom solutions that include wide door openings, roll-in shower bases, and accessible features like built-in benches, handheld showerheads, and grab bars.
FAQs:
Q: What makes a shower wheelchair accessible?
A: Wheelchair accessible showers typically feature a wide entry, a roll-in shower base (no lip or threshold), and a spacious interior that allows for easy movement. These showers also include safety features like grab bars, a handheld showerhead, and sometimes built-in seating.
Q: Do I need to remove my existing shower to install a wheelchair accessible one?

A: Typically, installation takes 3-5 days, depending on the design and modifications required. We will keep you informed about the timeline and ensure minimal disruption during the installation process.
