From Tub to Shower: Enhancing Accessibility and Space in Your Akron Bathroom

#1 Bathroom Remodeler in NE Ohio & Western PA

GET A QUOTE

Bathtubs, while offering a place for relaxation, can become underutilized features in many Akron homes. Perhaps you prioritize a quick shower in the morning, or maybe mobility limitations are making bathtub use challenging.

Converting your bathtub to a walk-in shower can be a smart and practical solution, offering a multitude of benefits.

  1. Enhanced Accessibility: Creating a Safer Bathroom Experience

Traditional bathtubs pose a significant fall risk for individuals with limited mobility due to the high step-over barrier. Converting your tub to a walk-in shower eliminates this hazard completely. Walk-in showers feature a low entry point and often include grab bars for added support, creating a safer and more accessible bathing experience. This can be particularly beneficial for seniors, individuals recovering from injuries, or those with physical limitations.

  1. Maximizing Space: Transforming Your Bathroom Layout

Bathtubs often occupy a significant amount of space in an Akron bathroom. Converting your tub to a shower can free up valuable real estate, creating a more spacious and functional environment. This newfound space can be used to install additional storage solutions, create a larger vanity area, or enhance the overall flow of the bathroom.

  1. Modern Aesthetics: Aligning Your Bathroom with Current Trends

Walk-in showers are a popular choice for modern bathrooms, offering a sleek and contemporary aesthetic. With a variety of tile options, glass enclosures, and showerhead styles to choose from, you can customize your walk-in shower to perfectly complement your existing bathroom design. A shower conversion can significantly elevate the look and feel of your Akron bathroom.

  1. Easier Cleaning and Maintenance:

Bathtubs, with their nooks and crannies, can be notoriously difficult to clean. Walk-in showers, on the other hand, offer a more streamlined design that’s easier to maintain. The smooth surfaces and minimal crevices make cleaning a breeze, reducing the time and effort required to keep your shower sparkling clean.

  1. Increased Home Value: A Feature Attractive to Potential Buyers

Not only can a walk-in shower enhance your own bathroom experience, but it can also be a valuable investment in your Akron home. As the population ages, accessible bathrooms are becoming increasingly sought after by potential buyers. Installing a walk-in shower can make your home more attractive and potentially increase its value when you decide to sell.

"Bathbuilders were commissioned to remodel my two 1960’s era bathrooms and created a spa like appearance in both of them… beautiful outcome! John and Phil paid close attention to all the details and the renovations were more than I could have ever envisioned. Excellent workmanship…thank you, Bathbuilders!"
Jane H. ★★★★★
"Recently, I had my old walk-in shower, which wasn’t safe for me any longer, replaced with a new walk-in shower by Bath Builders. The new one is just perfect.! The bench seat and more safety rails make taking a shower so much safer. The workmen were easy to talk with and extremely neat and professional. I found their price very reasonable and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Thanks Bath Builders!"
