ADA Showers That Don’t Feel Institutional: Stylish, Safe Bathroom Remodels in Lancaster & York, PA

When most people hear “ADA shower,” they picture something cold and clinical. But that couldn’t be further from what we offer here at B&M Home Improvement Solutions.

We build ADA-compliant showers that look like they belong in a luxury home — not a hospital. With modern solid surface systems, stylish grab bars, no-threshold pans, and glass enclosures, our showers are custom-built to meet both your accessibility needs and design goals.

Whether you’re aging in place, recovering from surgery, or planning ahead for mobility, we make the process easy — and fast.

 What Is an ADA Shower?

An ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant shower is designed for accessibility and safety. It must meet certain specifications such as:

• No-threshold entry (curbless)

• Proper dimensions for wheelchair access (minimum 36″ x 36″, but 60″ x 36″ is preferred)

• Grab bars in the correct positions

• Handheld showerhead with slide bar

• Reinforced walls to support equipment

• Fold-down shower seat (optional but highly recommended)

But here’s the thing — you don’t need to sacrifice aesthetics to meet these guidelines.

ADA Shower Remodels We Specialize In

At B&M, we offer two main types of ADA shower systems:

1. Solid Surface ADA Showers (2–3 Day Install)

This is our most popular option. We use Samuel Mueller solid surface wall panels for a sleek, grout-free, low-maintenance system.

Features include:

• Seamless, non-porous walls (easier to clean & maintain)

• Custom or prefab no-threshold shower pans

• Reinforced backing for grab bars

• Handheld shower fixtures

• Matching grab bars and accessories

• Optional fold-down seat

• Fast install (2–3 days)

Perfect for: Homeowners who need something clean, durable, waterproof, and fast — with options for future upgrades.

2. Custom Tiled ADA Showers

If you want more control over textures, finishes, and design — our tile showers meet ADA requirements without looking clinical.

We use Schluter waterproofing systems, custom benches, and carefully sloped tile pans with trench or center drains.

Perfect for: Master bath remodels with higher design goals or resale considerations.

Why Homeowners Choose ADA Showers Before They Need One

Planning ahead gives you options. We’ve had many clients in their 50s and 60s remodel their bathrooms not because they have mobility issues — but because they don’t want to worry later.

Reasons homeowners schedule ADA remodels:

• Caring for aging parents

• Recovering from injury or surgery

• Future-proofing their home

• Increasing home value

• Creating safer, more spacious layouts

Each install includes:

• Full tear-out and haul-away

• Subfloor & wall preparation

• Waterproofing

• All fixtures and finishes

• Installation of grab bars & seat

 FAQs: ADA Shower Remodels

Do I need a permit for an ADA shower?
In most cases, yes — we handle all the permitting for you in Lancaster and York County.

Can you convert a tub to an ADA shower?
Absolutely. Most of our ADA conversions come from tub-to-shower remodels.

How long does it take?
2–3 days for solid surface. 5–8 days for custom tile.

Will Medicare or Medicaid pay for this?
Sometimes — but it depends on your plan. We’ll work with you to provide documentation if needed.

Do I have to use grab bars?
Technically yes for full ADA compliance. But we offer options that look like towel bars, shelves, or modern accents — so they blend beautifully.
