Bath Planet of Arkansas installs walk in tubs, walk in showers, tub to shower conversions and new bathtubs in Benton, Arkansas. Free in home consultation, most installs in as little as one day.
Benton homeowners tend to ask us about one of two things: converting a 1990s or 2000s tub alcove into a low threshold shower, or making an existing shower workable for a parent or spouse who needs help bathing. Both are common here because the houses are fairly new while many older residents report mobility and self care difficulties. A designer measures the space, talks through where the seat, handheld shower and grab bars should go for the person bathing and the person helping, and writes the price on the spot. The Little Rock showroom is a little under half an hour away if you want to see the options in person first.

The Little Rock showroom at 6000 W Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72205 is about 22 miles from Benton, roughly 29 minutes. Routing figures come from OSRM on OpenStreetMap road data and assume normal traffic. The consultation itself happens in your home, so the showroom is optional: it is where you can see the wall patterns, bases and doors in person.
Yes, and in Benton it is one of the most common requests. Census American Community Survey estimates show 14.8 percent of Benton residents 65 and older have a self care difficulty, close to twice the Arkansas rate. A caregiver friendly shower uses a low threshold, a fixed or fold down seat, a handheld shower head on a slide bar, and grab bars placed so both people have something to hold. A curtain rod instead of a door can leave more room to assist.
Most are. Census estimates put the median Benton home at 1995, and 42.2 percent were built in 2000 or later, so the typical hall bath has a standard five foot tub alcove with the drain at one end. A custom measured shower base fits that space without moving plumbing, and the walls go up over the same footprint, which is why many conversions finish in about a day. Homes in the older part of town can need a closer look at the walls behind the tub.
Free in home design consultation, a written price, and an install that usually takes one day. Showrooms in Hot Springs and Little Rock.
