Can I Have a Shower and Walk-In Tub in the Same Bathroom? [5 Smart Solutions for Modern Homes]
If you're wondering whether it's possible to install a shower with a walk-in tub in the same bathroom, the answer is yes—and it might be the smartest investment you can make for comfort, safety, and future-proof living.
At Heilman Renovations, we specialize in designing functional, stylish, and inclusive bathrooms across North Vancouver and beyond. Whether you're upgrading your space for aging in place or adding value to your home, a walk-in tub and shower combo offers a powerful blend of accessibility and luxury. Contact us today to explore your options.
1. The Best of Both Worlds
Walk-in tubs offer therapeutic benefits, safety features, and peace of mind for those with mobility concerns. Showers, on the other hand, offer speed and convenience.
Combining the two allows you or your loved ones to choose between a quick rinse or a relaxing soak—all without sacrificing floor space. We help homeowners design combos that maximize space and function. See what we can do in your home.
2. Who Is This Combo Ideal For?
This setup is perfect for:
Adults planning to age in place
Seniors or anyone with reduced mobility
Multi-generational households
Caregivers assisting with bathing
It may not be ideal for very small bathrooms or homes without the plumbing capacity for a full conversion. But we can assess your layout and provide realistic solutions. Book a consultation here.
3. Real Features That Make a Difference
The best shower and walk-in tub combos include:
Low-entry thresholds (less than 5")
ADA-compliant seating
Non-slip surfaces
Handheld & rainfall showerheads
Grab bars and hydrotherapy jets
Anti-scald temperature controls
We tailor every renovation to the needs of your household. See our accessible upgrades here.
4. Design Options: From Conversions to Custom Installs
We can retrofit your existing tub by cutting out the side to create a walk-through entry—a cost-effective option that doesn't require a full bathroom gut. Or, we can install a brand-new walk-in tub with an integrated shower, beautifully finished to match your style.
