As we get older, it can become increasingly difficult to enter and exit a conventional bathtub. That’s the situation that Rod and Jane Forrester of Belleview, Florida, found themselves in. So, like many local homeowners searching for a safer way to bathe, they picked up the phone and called West Shore Home.

Since West Shore Home partners with one of the industry’s most respected manufacturers, the Forresters knew that their project would be in good hands. And West Shore Home certainly did not disappoint. During the installation, the Forresters found themselves impressed with how the company’s technicians worked together as a team to complete the walk-in tub installation in a fast and efficient manner.

The Forresters also appreciated how the installers thoroughly cleaned up the area around the newly installed walk-in bath. “The installation team was awesome. They did a perfect job and left the job area spotless,” Rod said.

This job featured a tub to shower conversion. The old tub was a standard all white one-piece unit, a style that we frequently replace. The new unit has extended wall surrounds that go over the shower head, four corner shelfs, grab bars for added safety, and a beautiful new shower door. It really adds a modern touch to their bathroom, while giving them the bonus of improving safety as well.

This project involved replacing an old tub with a new soaker tub.

This St. Petersburg, FL customer was replacing an old outdated bath with a new shower that could provide accessibility and style. Notice the low threshold step for ease of getting in and out, as well as the grab bars and bench. The new shower is not only beautiful, but highly functional for accessibility needs as well!

This customer updated the look and feel of their shower by adding a designer wall surround and opting for a more open base. The previous shower had a small bench at each end which reduced the space to move around in. The new shower has an open base, free of benches, but with additional soap trays to provide more areas to store shampoos and soap. The new wall surrounds feature one of our designer models, and extend all the way to the ceiling now, which will provide additional protection against mold and mildew.

We completed this job for the winners of our k Home Makeover Sweepstakes from the summer of 2017. This customer was looking for something that would add and nice aesthetic upgrade along with some functional accessibility features. The customer’s new shower features grab bars for accessibility, a low threshold step, to make it easy to get in and out of, as well as an adjustable showerhead that can be used freely.

It was a real pleasure helping this sweepstakes winner get a beautiful new shower!

West Shore had the pleasure of doing two shower and bath replacements for this customer! The first was replacing a dated shower with something that would give them a little bit more space. Their previous shower had a bench that took up a little bit of space, which we swapped out for some soap trays to hold their shampoos and body wash, and free up some room at the base. Their new shower also features designer wall surrounds that extend all the way to the ceiling, which will further protect against mold and mildew.
