Walk-In Showers Services in Lebanon
Request an estimate today
A walk-in shower has a very low edge, or none at all. You step in. You do not climb over a tub wall. For many homeowners, that one change makes bathing safer again.
Specificallycitizens Walk-In Tubs is a referral service. We help you see your options first: prefab or tile, low threshold or curbless, and rough costs. Then we connect you with an independent provider in our network. The provider visits, measures, and gives you a written quote. The provider does the work, not Specificallycitizens Walk-In Tubs. You decide if the quote fits. There is no obligation to go ahead.
If a fall already happened, start here
Most bathroom falls happen at the tub wall. If you or a parent has slipped, or has stopped bathing alone, treat this as a priority.
A walk-in shower fixes the main problem. The high wall is gone. You step in at a low height, then stand or sit.
Request an estimate and a provider in our network can look at your bathroom. Specificallycitizens Walk-In Tubs does not do the work. The provider does.
Know your options first
Answer first: you have three main paths. A prefab low-threshold shower. A tiled walk-in shower. A curbless shower.
Each one trades cost, time, and looks. We will walk through all three below. Pick the one that fits the person who will use it.
Want to soak, not just wash? That is a different product. Senior walk-in tubs exist for that, and they have their own page.
Low-threshold or curbless
A low-threshold shower has a short lip, often two to four inches. It keeps water in. It is the simpler build.
A curbless shower has no lip. The floor slopes gently to the drain. Walkers and wheelchairs roll right in.
Curbless costs more. The floor often needs work. In a house with a full basement, a provider may need to check the pipes below. Ask about that early.
Features worth asking about
Handicap accessible showers share a few features. Not all are needed. Match them to the person.
- Fold-down seat or built-in bench for people who tire when standing.
- Grab bars placed where hands actually reach, anchored into solid framing.
- Handheld shower head on a slide bar, so one person can wash while seated.
- Slip-resistant floor with small tile or textured pan.
- Wide opening of at least 32 inches, more for a wheelchair.
- Easy valve that is simple to turn with weak hands.
Prefab walls or tile
Prefab units come as a pan and wall panels. They install faster. Seams are few, so cleaning is easy.
Tile gives you custom sizes and looks. It also has more grout and more steps. Waterproofing behind the tile matters a lot here.
Neither is wrong. Prefab suits most tub replacement jobs in a standard alcove. Tile suits odd spaces or a larger remodel.
What a tub-to-shower swap involves
This is a safe bathing conversion. It follows a clear order.
- The provider measures and checks the walls, floor, and drain.
- The old tub is cut out and hauled away.
- Plumbing is moved or adjusted for the new drain and valve.
- The new base, walls, and door or curtain go in.
- Grab bars and seat are anchored. The provider seals and tests it.
Expect some noise and dust. Ask where the old tub goes and who cleans up.
Older homes hide surprises
Many frame houses are decades old. Once the tub comes out, the provider may find soft subfloor, old pipes, or hidden moisture.
Bungalows and ranch homes often have small bathrooms. A tight room can limit door width and bench size. Measure before you fall for a design.
Ask how repairs will be priced if the provider finds a problem. Get that in writing too.
How long does it take?
A simple prefab swap often takes a few days. A tiled or curbless build can take a week or more, because materials need time to cure.
Weather can slow things down. Cold snaps, spring flooding, and storms can delay deliveries and crews. Ask for a realistic window, not a promise.
Plan where to bathe in the meantime, especially if the tub is your only bathing spot.
Keeping it clean and comfortable
Humid summers and cold winters are hard on bathrooms. Good airflow helps. Make sure the exhaust fan works and vents outside.
Wipe glass and walls after use. Rinse the floor now and then. Prefab walls clean up fast. Tile needs its grout sealed.
A warm floor, a wall-mounted seat, or a niche at reach height adds comfort without much fuss.
Plan around the person
Start with who uses it. Can they lift a leg? Do they use a cane, a walker, or a chair? Will a helper be in the room?
Think about what may change in a few years. A shower built for a walker today may need to take a wheelchair later. Choosing a wider opening now can save a second project.
Questions to ask a provider
Know your options, then ask these. Quote in writing.
- What does the quote include, and what is extra?
- Who handles permits, if any are needed?
- What happens if you find rot or bad pipes?
- How are grab bars anchored?
- How long is the job, and who is on site?
- What does the warranty cover, and who backs it?
A good answer is specific and written down. Vague answers are a warning.
Red flags
- A price that arrives with no visit.
- Pressure to sign today.
- No written scope.
- A big deposit with no schedule.
- No answer on who does the plumbing.
If you see one, slow down and compare another quote.

No obligationWalk-In Showers Services FAQ
How much does a walk-in shower cost?
Most prefab swaps fall around $3,000 to $8,000, while tiled or curbless builds can reach $20,000 or more. Costs vary by job. Ask for a written quote that lists everything included.
Can a walk-in shower replace my bathtub?
Yes. This tub replacement is common. A provider removes the tub and installs a low-entry shower in the same space. Plumbing and floor condition affect the final plan.
Will insurance or Medicare pay for a walk-in shower?
Coverage is limited. Most policies do not cover accessibility upgrades, though some programs help. Check your policy and plan details, and ask the provider what paperwork they can supply.
