September 27, 2019Having access to your shower or tub can be difficult at times.
Our roll-in showers have slip-resistant tiles to help prevent falls. There is also a wide opening with a low threshold entry which also helps prevent falls and gives a caregiver easier access to assist the patient with bathing.
Our Roll showers are designed for accessibility, allowing comfortable and safe use for you and your family. A roll-in shower is normally placed where a bathtub/shower used to be, and converting it to a roll-in shower is very practical.
Picking the right roll-in shower
When planning bathrooms for disabled or elderly family members it can be a challenge to address all of their needs, and our acrylic roll-in showers meet the needs of everyone. Everyone should be able to enjoy bathing, independently. If you are just thinking ahead for the future our goal is to assist people in designing their bathrooms around their individual needs and maximizing their independence.

FAQ
1. What exactly is a roll-in shower and why choose it over a traditional tub?
A roll-in shower is a specially designed shower with a low or no threshold entry, allowing for easy access—especially for wheelchair users or anyone with mobility concerns. It replaces your existing tub and provides a safer, more accessible bathing experience for individuals with limited mobility, as well as caregivers assisting in bathing. The flat entry, slip-resistant tiles, and wide access mean fewer risks for slips and falls, and greater independence for users.
2. Can my current bathroom support a roll-in shower conversion?
Most standard bathrooms can accommodate a roll-in shower where a tub once existed. The tub area is usually large enough, but before proceeding, it’s important to assess space for accessibility and whether doorways and entry paths are wide enough for a wheelchair or walker. Custom solutions may also be available if your space is smaller or has unique dimensions.
3. What is the installation process like and how disruptive is it?
The installation process typically involves removing the old bathtub and plumbing adjustments before installing a waterproof, low-threshold shower base and appropriate safety features. Professional remodelers like CAPS Remodeling ensure that the process is as efficient as possible and compliant with safety standards. The work is usually completed within a few days, minimizing the disruption to your daily routine.
4. Are roll-in showers safe and do they meet accessibility standards?
Yes, roll-in showers installed by specialists such as CAPS Remodeling adhere to standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). They are designed to be practical, comfortable, and safe, often including slip-resistant surfaces, proper drainage, grab bars, and enough room for both the user and a caregiver. Using certified installers ensures your remodel is up to code and tailored to individual needs.
5. Will converting my tub to a roll-in shower affect home value?
Many homeowners are concerned about resale value when removing a tub. However, modern roll-in showers are seen as upgrades for aging-in-place or families with accessibility needs. They often maintain or even improve home value for buyers who prioritize safety and universal design, especially as the population ages and accessibility becomes a more valued home feature.
