Walk-In Showers
Regain your mobility with accessible, easy to clean designs.
Shower Accessibility for Safe Bathing
Age and/or limited mobility can make your old bathtub a chore in two ways:
1. The bath’s edge can be uncomfortable to step over and increase the risk of slips and falls.
2. It also tends to be harder to keep clean on a regular basis with materials or tiles that attract mold and mildew. This combination of restrictions takes much of the enjoyment and luxury out of bathing.
A walk-in or roll-in shower can eliminate these concerns with designs that are as easy as putting one foot in front of the other. Plus, at JDS Bath, we install tile and acrylic showers that make cleaning a breeze. Our acrylic is infused with an anti-bacterial product at the factory. Keeping your shower clean won’t be as much of a chore and using it will feel like the luxury it was meant to be.

Upgrading to Convenience
Converting your old, mildew-magnetic bathtub into an easier to use walk-in is an investment in your comfort. At JDS Bath, we believe that the accessibility of the first room you walk into at the start of your day can put a smile on your face. We put quality workmanship into each tub to walk-in shower conversion for a long-lasting, beautiful bathroom that’s a breeze to clean.
Bathing Safely
Whether you are considering yourself or an aging family member, JDS Bath can install a walk-in shower or bath that will improve the accessibility of your bathroom. Here are some of the safety features of the showers we install:
- Handrails to prevent slips
- Shower seats
- Wheelchair-accessible, roll-in shower floors
Easy-to-Clean Material
The acrylic material we use in our shower installations is designed to resist bacteria and soap scum. This makes cleaning your handicap-accessible shower a breeze so you can enjoy the luxury of clean bathing. We can also remove the tile in your bathroom which attracts mold and mildew.

Besides the functionality of a safer shower, we know that you will want its design to match the aesthetic of your bathroom. We have a full range of colors and styles to choose from that are sure to catch your eye. We’ve been working in bathroom remodeling for over 20 years, so we won’t leave traces of unprofessional workmanship. The result will be visually inspected.

Ultimately, we want you to have a walk-in shower or bath that will make you happy to get up in the morning. We are licensed, bonded, and insured in the Commonwealth of Virginia and are available by phone to answer any questions or concerns you may have before, during, and after the installation.
Handicap Shower Features
Low-Entry and Zero-Entry Showers
There are two kinds of walk-in showers ideal for aging-in-place. These decrease barriers to bathing and make it possible to safely get clean.
Curbless Showers
You can choose a zero-entry, or curbless, shower to ensure there is nothing to step over while getting into your shower. These are especially important to consider using if you have a wheelchair or mobility aid.
Because there is no curb, these showers are also much easier to clean. There are less corners for grime and moisture.
They also offer a great way to maximize the space in your bathroom.
Low Threshold Shower
While a curbless shower is barrier free, a standard shower has around a 1 ½ in – 4in step over. The exact height of the step-over depends on your material of choice.
These low thresholds are great for people who need a more easily accessible shower but also want to prevent water from getting outside of the shower.
This 1 ½ in – 4in lip makes it easy to enter and exit the shower but isn’t quite as mobility aid friendly as the zero-entry shower.
Walk-in Bathtubs for Improved Bathing Access
In addition to walk-in showers, people with limited mobility can consider adding a walk-in bathtub to their bathroom.
A walk-in tub allows you to enter and exit your empty tub through a door instead of climbing over the ledge of a tub. There are several health-related features available for walk-in bathtubs. One option is a jetted bathtub. This option provides hydrotherapy which has several proven health benefits for those suffering with back pain, muscle pain, stress, insomnia, arthritis, rheumatism, or diabetes.
These specialty tubs are designed to make your life easier and can offer better accessibility for:
- Older individuals who have limited mobility
- Those suffering from diabetes and circulatory diseases
- People with physical limitations due to a disability
- Anyone with balance or coordination trouble
- Those who find a standard sized bathtub uncomfortable to use
You can easily eliminate many bathing hazards with a walk-in tub. You don’t have to worry about standing or slipping in the shower and you have a low-effort entry great for people of all abilities.
