Walk-In Shower Installation in Murray, Utah

Why Murray Homeowners Choose Walk-In Showers

Let’s be honest: most Murray homes weren’t built with modern accessibility in mind. If your house was built in the 70s, 80s, or 90s, you probably have a standard tub-shower combo that’s seen better days. Sound familiar?

Here’s what we’re hearing from homeowners around Intermountain Medical Center district and Murray High School area: they want bathrooms that work better for their lives right now. Not someday. Not eventually. Now.

The practical benefits break down like this:

Walk-in showers are easier to get in and out of. No more awkward climbing. No more worrying about slipping on a wet tub edge. This matters whether you’re 35 or 75.

They make your bathroom feel bigger. Even in smaller Murray homes near State Street corridor or Van Winkle Expressway, a well-designed walk-in shower can completely change how your bathroom feels.

They’re easier to clean. Anyone who’s scrubbed a traditional tub knows this is a big deal. Less bending, less scrubbing, less time spent on maintenance.

They add real value to your home. Murray’s housing market is competitive. A modern, accessible bathroom stands out when it’s time to sell.

Our Walk-In Shower Installation Process

Here’s how we actually do the work. No corporate speak, just the real process:

Step 1: We Come to Your Home

Free consultation. We measure your space, look at your current setup, talk about what you want, and discuss what’s realistic for your bathroom. We’re not going to sell you something that won’t work.

Step 2: Design and Planning

You’ll see exactly what your new shower will look like. We go over materials, features, colors, and all the details. This is where we make sure we’re on the same page before any demolition starts.

Step 3: Demolition

We remove your old tub or shower. This part’s messy, but we keep it contained. We protect your floors and we haul everything away when we’re done.

Step 4: The Real Work

This is where experience matters. We handle the plumbing rough-in, install the drain properly, build the shower pan (whether it’s pre-fab or custom tile), and install the waterproofing membrane. Getting this stuff right is what prevents problems down the road.

Step 5: Tile Installation

We lay out the tile pattern, cut everything precisely, and install it right. The grout work matters too. This is where your vision actually comes together.

Step 6: Glass and Fixtures

We install your frameless glass doors or enclosure, add your showerhead (rain head, handheld, or dual systems), install grab bars if you want them, and add any other features like built-in benches or recessed niches.

Step 7: Final Details

We seal everything, clean up thoroughly, and walk through the completed shower with you. You get to see it work before we consider the job done.

Timeline: Most Murray projects take 5-7 days from demolition to completion. We’ll give you a specific timeline for your project.

Walk-In Shower Styles We Install in Murray

Barrier-Free (Curbless) Showers

These have no threshold at all. You can roll right in. They’re required for ADA compliance, but lots of homeowners choose them just for the clean, modern look. They also make your bathroom feel more spacious.

Low-Threshold Entry

A small curb (usually 2-3 inches) that’s much easier to step over than a traditional tub. This gives you some water containment while still being way more accessible.

Corner Walk-In Showers

Perfect for Murray bathrooms where space is tight. These use two existing walls and add glass panels to create a functional shower that doesn’t take over the whole room.

Luxury Spa-Style Showers

Built-in benches, multiple showerheads, recessed lighting, custom tile work, large format tiles—this is where you can really make a statement. Popular in homes around Murray Park and the Parkside neighborhood.

Accessibility Features That Actually Help

If you’re thinking about aging in place or you have family members with mobility concerns, here’s what makes a real difference:

Grab bars don’t have to look institutional anymore. We install them in finishes that match your fixtures. Chrome, brushed nickel, bronze—they blend right in.

Built-in or fold-down shower seats give you a place to sit. This is useful even if you don’t need it yet. Shaving your legs, taking your time, or just having the option—it’s nice.

Handheld showerheads on a slide bar let you control where the water goes. Easier for washing, easier for cleaning the shower, and more accessible for everyone.

Non-slip tile with texture that actually grips your feet. We don’t install tile that’s slippery when wet. That’s just asking for trouble.

Zero-entry designs with proper floor slope to keep water contained without a curb.
