An accessible shower in Ottawa is worth doing once and doing right - a curbless, zero-threshold walk-in that stays safe for decades, not a grab bar screwed into tile that won't hold. The hard part is the floor: getting a level, roll-in entry means recessing the subfloor and sloping to a linear drain so water never crosses the threshold. We build that structure properly, set solid blocking for grab bars before the tile goes on, and finish it for a fixed price on a written completion date.

Why Ottawa homeowners choose us.
Most 'accessibility' upgrades are cosmetic - a bar bolted to the surface, a bath seat that slides. Real aging-in-place work is structural, and it's what we do: recess the floor so the entry is truly level, waterproof it to code, and set blocking so grab bars anchor into framing, not just tile. We think about the whole approach - door width, turning space, fixture heights, lighting - so the bathroom works now and later. One crew, one fixed price, the written Triple Promise.

What accessible shower ottawa costs in Ottawa.
$14,000–$28,000+
A curbless walk-in shower conversion in Ottawa generally lands in the $14K–$22K range.

Straight answers, no fluff.
- Q.01
What makes a shower truly accessible - not just a bar on the wall?
A genuinely accessible shower is curbless, so there's no lip to step or roll over; the floor is recessed and sloped to a linear drain so water still stays in; the entry is wide enough; and grab bars anchor into solid in-wall blocking, not just tile. A bar bolted to a surface can pull out under real weight. We build the structure first, then finish it.
- Q.02
Can you convert my existing tub or shower to a curbless walk-in?
Yes. We remove the tub or curbed base, recess and re-slope the subfloor for a zero-threshold entry, waterproof to code, and tile it in. Where the floor structure won't allow a full recess, we design the lowest safe threshold and a ramp detail instead - and we tell you which at the consult.
- Q.03
Do you set up for grab bars even if we don't need them yet?
We recommend it - it costs almost nothing during the build and saves a wall demo later. We set solid blocking behind the tile at the right heights so grab bars can be added any time, exactly where they'll be needed, into framing that holds.
- Q.04
Are your trades licensed and insured?
Yes - licensed, insured, WSIB-cleared trades on every job, with certificates available on request before you sign. The whole room carries a 5-year written workmanship warranty.
