Aging in Place and Accessible Baths in Arkansas: Costs

An accessible shower in Arkansas typically costs $15,000 to $24,000 installed. A low step walk in shower with the standard low threshold sits near the low end, and a full accessible bath conversion sits near the top. Seats, grab bars and a handheld shower head are placed for the person who will use them, and most jobs finish in one to two days.

How Bath Planet of Arkansas does the work

We are a local bath and shower installer and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:

Planning a bathroom for aging in place

Aging in place usually starts in the bathroom because that is where the hardest moves happen: stepping over a tub wall, standing on a wet floor, reaching for a faucet. An accessible shower takes those moves out. The entry drops to a low threshold, a seat lets you shower sitting down, and grab bars go where hands naturally land. In Arkansas, most of these showers go in within one to two days. The seats, grab bars, shelves and handheld shower heads you can choose from are shown on our accessories page.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an accessible shower cost in Arkansas?

An accessible shower in Arkansas typically costs $15,000 to $24,000 installed. A low step walk in shower usually runs $15,000 to $24,000, and a shower with a seat and grab bars $16,000 to $22,000. A full accessible bath conversion typically costs $19,000 to $24,000.

Is the threshold on an accessible shower easy to step over?

Yes, the standard low threshold is low enough that most people can step over it safely. A low step walk in shower typically costs $15,000 to $24,000 installed, and a shower with a seat and grab bars $16,000 to $22,000. If someone in the home uses a walker or wheelchair, talk with a designer about your needs at the free in home consultation.

Where should grab bars go in a shower?

Grab bars belong where your hands land when you step in, sit down and stand up: usually one vertical bar at the entry and one horizontal bar along the back or side wall, about 33 to 36 inches from the floor. Each bar is anchored into framing, not just the panel. A shower with a seat and grab bars typically costs $16,000 to $22,000 installed.

Can an accessible shower be installed in one day?

Many low threshold accessible showers are installed in one to two days when they go into the existing tub or shower space. A full accessible bath conversion, typically $19,000 to $24,000, covers more of the space and can take the longer end of that window. The timeline is written into the price before work starts.

Does insurance or Medicare pay for an accessible shower?

Original Medicare does not pay for an accessible shower, and the CMS durable medical equipment list marks grab bars and bathtub seats as Deny. Help can come from some Medicare Advantage plans, Arkansas Medicaid home and community based programs, and VA grants for veterans. Our coverage guide lists each rule with its source. Without coverage, a low step walk in shower typically costs $15,000 to $24,000.

What makes a shower safe for someone with limited mobility?

A safe shower for limited mobility has a low threshold entry, a seat at chair height, grab bars at the entry and along the wall, a handheld head on a slide bar and a textured base. A shower with a seat and grab bars typically costs $16,000 to $22,000 installed and takes one to two days.

What warranty covers an accessible shower?

Accessible showers from Bath Planet of Arkansas carry the Bath Planet limited lifetime warranty on the acrylic base and wall panels, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation, subject to the written terms. Typical installed prices run $15,000 to $24,000, and most installs take one to two days.

What safety features can be added to a new tub or shower in Central Arkansas?

Common safety features include grab bars, a built in seat, a low threshold entry that is easy to step over, slip resistant flooring and a handheld shower, and Bath Planet of Arkansas' published price table lists accessible showers at $15,000 to $24,000 installed. The same table lists a low step walk in shower with the standard low threshold at $15,000 to $24,000, a shower with seat and grab bars at $16,000 to $22,000 and a full accessible bath conversion at $19,000 to $24,000. The ADA Standards for Accessible Design place grab bars 33 to 36 inches above the floor, which is a useful benchmark for placement. Price moves with how many features you stack, whether the wall framing needs blocking for grab bar anchors, whether plumbing has to move, and the wall and floor materials you choose. Most installs finish in as little as one day, and Bath Planet of Arkansas offers a free in home design consultation to plan the layout.
