Comfort and Confidence in Every Step
Getting in and out of the shower shouldn't feel like a daily obstacle course. If stepping over a tub wall has become a struggle, or you're worried about losing your footing without nearby support, it might be time to rethink your options. At BathWorks of Michigan, we work with homeowners across Michigan to design accessible showers using Jacuzzi Bath Remodel products. Every project is guided by CAPS-certified training and completed by our own installers.
Jacuzzi® shower systems come in barrier-free and low-threshold configurations, and we can add grab bars, seating, handheld showerheads, and storage positioned within arm's reach. Let us help you create a bathroom that fits your changing needs without compromising on style.
The Right Features for the Way You Live
No two homeowners need the same setup. Someone recovering from surgery has separate priorities from someone planning ahead, and we’ll talk through those details before recommending anything. Here's what we typically work with:
Grab Bars: Installed at entry points and along interior walls, positioned to give you steady support exactly where you need it most.
Shower Seating: Fixed or fold-down seating tucked into the design, so there's always somewhere to settle in if you need a break.
Adjustable Showerheads: Handheld wands and adjustable mounts that shift to suit whoever's using the shower that day.
Barrier-Free Entry: A zero-threshold design that removes the step-over completely, so getting in feels no more complicated than crossing the floor.
Low-Threshold Entry: A smaller step down for homeowners who want some accessibility while keeping a familiar shower look.
Placed Shelving: Storage positioned at a height you can reach without bending or stretching, so essentials stay close by.
For the shower surround, Jacuzzi® Premium Shower Walls use Tri-Tek® materials that eliminate grout lines entirely, reducing mold and mildew over time. You can still choose from a range of colors and textures, so accessibility doesn't mean giving up on the look you love.
A Certified Approach to Aging-in-Place Design
CAPS stands for Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, a designation from the National Association of Home Builders focused on helping people stay safely in their homes as their needs change. It's training that shapes decisions most homeowners wouldn't think to ask about, like where a grab bar needs to go or how wide an entry should be for a wheelchair or walker.
That background carries through every part of the planning process, from the first conversation about your bathroom to the final placement of each fixture. Instead of adding safety features onto a standard shower, we design the layout with those needs in mind from the start.
Read more about how this certification shapes our approach on our CAPS-certified page. It's what separates a shower that ended up accessible from one planned that way from the outset.
Three Ways to Build a Better Bathroom
Most ADA remodels start in one of a few places: replacing a shower that no longer works for you, converting a bathtub into something more accessible, or installing a walk-in shower built from the ground up. Each path leads to a similar outcome, just from a separate starting point.
A shower remodel lets us remove the existing shower and install a new Jacuzzi® system designed around your accessibility needs. This route works well when the shower itself has become difficult to use, even if the surrounding layout still suits you.
If you're working with a traditional tub, a tub-to-shower conversion opens up that footprint and creates room for a barrier-free or low-threshold entry that a tub can't accommodate on its own. For homeowners who need a wider entry, this route usually makes sense.
For bathrooms without an existing shower, or those being reconfigured from scratch, a walk-in shower offers the most flexibility to design for accessibility. We can plan the entry, seating, and storage together rather than working around an older layout.
Support That Lasts Long After Installation
Every Jacuzzi Bath Remodel product comes with a manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own your home. That coverage comes straight from Jacuzzi Bath Remodel and applies to any qualifying issue.
On top of that, we back our installation work with our own Worry-Free Guarantee, a separate promise covering the experience of working with us before, during, and after your project. Between the two, you're covered from the product itself to the hands that installed it.
Move Forward With the Improvements You Need
An accessibility upgrade can change how your bathroom functions for years to come, and we know it's a meaningful upfront investment. That's why BathWorks of Michigan offers financing options for homeowners who'd rather spread the cost over time rather than pay it all at once.
We serve homeowners throughout Lower Michigan including Grand Rapids, Ludington, Saugatuck, Kalamazoo, Traverse City, Saginaw, and Novi, so there's a solid chance we're already working somewhere near you. Wherever you're located in the region, financing conversations are part of every consultation we schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
An ADA-compliant remodel focuses on accessibility through features like barrier-free or low-threshold shower entries, well-placed grab bars, seating, handheld showerheads, and a layout designed for smoother movement.
It's one of the most accessible choices available, since it removes the step-over threshold entirely. We can add grab bars, seating, handheld showerheads, and reachable storage to any barrier-free design.
Installations like these, including tub-to-shower conversions, are often finished in as little as one day. But before we get started, we'll give you a more accurate timeline for your specific project.
It means the team behind your remodel has trained specifically in aging-in-place design and accessibility planning. For an ADA-focused project, that shows up in decisions about shower layout, support features, and how the whole bathroom functions together.
Absolutely. Jacuzzi® Premium Shower Walls come in a variety of colors and textures, so you don't have to choose between accessibility and a bathroom you enjoy looking at.
