An accessible shower in Texarkana, AR 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.
If you are weighing accessible and aging in place baths work in Texarkana, AR, the right number depends on the scope, the materials you choose, and the condition of what is there now. Below is what most local homeowners pay, what moves the price, and how we handle the job from inspection through cleanup.
Texarkana, Arkansas is the Miller County seat, the Arkansas half of a twin city split by the state line. This page is about the Arkansas side. The housing there is older than the state average: in the Census American Community Survey 2019 to 2023 estimates, 53.2 percent of homes were built before 1980 and 21 percent before 1960, against 40.5 and 13.8 percent statewide, and only 9.2 percent were built after 2010. The median year built is 1978. The age of the owners matters as much as the age of the houses. Some 18.7 percent of owner households moved in before 1990, compared with 13 percent statewide, and among residents 75 and older, 62.9 percent report a disability, one of the highest figures in our service area. Among those 65 and older, 33.2 percent report an ambulatory difficulty and 21 percent an independent living difficulty. In a 1960s or 1970s Texarkana house, that usually means a long time owner and a standard tub that has become hard to climb into. That is why walk in tubs come up here more than in most markets. Our August 2026 Texarkana project reworked the plumbing, added two GFCI outlets for safety and custom built the surround so a new walk in tub lined up with the existing granite. The homeowner, Mike M., wrote: "I wish I had purchased a walk in tub 5 years ago." He also noted that removing the old tub and installing the new one took less than 8 hours. In July 2026 a second Texarkana bath got a new 60x32 white tub with a smooth wall system, oil rubbed bronze Delta fixtures and two shelves. In an older house the outlets and wiring near the tub may need updating, as on that August job, so the designer checks the panel and the route to the bathroom at the consultation. A tub or shower replacement without electrical work is usually simpler. Nearby Ashdown, in Little River County, has had two shower replacements, in September 2025 and September 2026, including a cast iron base tear out. From the Hot Springs showroom the trip is about 110 miles by car, so Miller County visits are booked on set days and take place at your house. Owner occupancy on the Arkansas side is 56 percent, and the share of households with someone 65 or older living alone is 12.5 percent, close to the state. Someone bathing without help needs fewer steps rather than more features: a door that swings easily, a seat at sitting height, a fast drain on the tub and a bar to hold at the entry.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Texarkana was built around 1978, which makes the typical house about 48 years old. There are roughly 13,738 housing units here with a median value near $162,700. Most of Texarkana went up in the postwar decades. The framing on these homes is usually sound, but original supply lines, drains, wiring, and subfloors are old enough to be worth checking while the accessible and aging in place baths work already has the room open. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Values in Texarkana sit toward the lower end of the markets we serve, so the question is usually which option returns the most service life per dollar, and we will show you the point where spending more stops paying for itself. Those numbers are the starting point for how we plan accessible and aging in place baths projects in Texarkana. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
The rows below are typical prices for a finished accessible shower. A full accessible bath conversion covers more of the space, which is why it sits higher.
| Accessible option | Typical installed price |
|---|---|
| Low step walk in shower, low threshold | $15,000 to $24,000 |
| Shower with seat and grab bars | $16,000 to $22,000 |
| Full accessible bath conversion | $19,000 to $24,000 |
Figures are typical ranges and vary by project. Your free in home consultation sets the exact price.

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:
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 Texarkana, AR, 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.
Bath Planet of Arkansas works across the Texarkana area, including:
Texarkana is one of the farther markets on this site: about 110 miles from the Hot Springs showroom at 125 Greenwood Ave, Hot Springs, AR 71913, around 2 hours by road. Consultations here are scheduled ahead and grouped by area, and the designer brings the samples to you.
From the job cards filed after each install, nearest first:
August 2026, in Texarkana: A poorly configured bathroom layout needed a functional upgrade. We reworked the plumbing and installed two new GFCI outlets to enhance safety. A custom WIT was built to fit the designated space, ensuring the new Alexis WI Tub lined up perfectly with the granite for a seamless integration. This transformation not only improved usability but also elevated the overall aesthetic.
July 2026, in Texarkana: A damaged tub and shower system was hindering daily use. We installed a sleek 60x32 white tub with a smooth wall system, complemented by elegant Delta fixtures in oil rubbed bronze. To enhance functionality, we added two single white shelves for storage and a straight shower rod, ensuring a stylish and practical upgrade to the bathroom.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The median Texarkana home was built around 1978 per Census American Community Survey data, so a large share of the housing stock is 48 or more years old. That is the age where accessible and aging in place baths and the other big updates come due, and it is the work Bath Planet of Arkansas does every week.
