What to prioritize first

If you can only do one thing, replace the tub with a walk-in or low-threshold shower. Stepping over a tub wall is the #1 fall risk in the bathroom for anyone over 65, and a fall on a tile bathroom floor in a slab-on-grade Five Forks, Verdae, Simpsonville, or Greer primary bath is unforgiving.

  • Low-threshold or curbless walk-in shower
  • Slip-resistant flooring and shower pan texture
  • Properly anchored grab bars (not suction cups)
  • Comfort-height toilet
  • Hand-held shower wand on a slide bar
  • Built-in shower bench or fold-down seat
  • Lever-style faucets instead of knobs

Frequently asked questions

How much does an aging-in-place bathroom remodel cost in Greater Greenville, SC?+
