Walk-In Shower with a Built-In Bench in Evesham, NJ

Ed was thinking ahead. The very large tub in his bathroom was getting harder to climb in and out of, and he wanted a shower that would stay easy to use as the years went on.

Pulling the tub uncovered a surprise. Someone had jury-rigged the drain plumbing just to get the old tub to work, in a configuration we’d never seen before. To do it right, we broke out the concrete, dug down and rebuilt the drain line all the way back to the trap. That fix was covered by our hidden-damage promise, at no charge to Ed.

Then we built a modern walk-in shower in our Travertino Chiaro slab, a soft, warm stone look that runs from the floor to the ceiling. A built-in bench gives Ed a place to sit while he showers, and a half wall across the back holds a storage ledge within easy reach.

A brushed nickel Delta system with a handheld lets him shower seated, and a frameless glass door finishes the space. Everything sits on a Schluter waterproofing system. That’s one of our installers setting the glass. The whole job took about a week.
