Bath and shower installation made easy.

It really comes down to preference and needs. Bathtubs can take up more space and they’re usually preferred when small children are involved. If you’re worried about resale value later, bathtubs are typically more appealing to potential buyers. Showers can reduce the amount of water you use if you have a low-flow showerhead. However, both systems come in a variety of styles, can be accessible, and therapeutic water flow is available.

Deciding when to get a new bathtub or shower is often a personal choice, but there are few times when it makes sense to consider a change:

• Your bathroom is dated.
• There is mold build up on your current bath or shower system.
• To improve safety, a lot of modern bath and shower systems come with a variety of safety and accessibility features.

Both bathtubs and stand-in showers have optional safety features available that can appeal to homes that have the elderly, young children, or anyone who has mobility issues. Some safety features available include:

• Low side/base
• Grab bars
• Anti-scald faucets
• Handheld showerheads
• Extra lighting
• Seating
• Accessible controls
• Slip-resistant flooring
• Easy to reach shelving
