Trusted Burien Bathroom Remodelers
Project Overview
Theresa R., a homeowner in Burien's Evansville neighborhood, found Oasis Bath Solutions through a referral. Her home dates back to 1964, and the hall bathroom's original tub/shower combo, oak cabinetry, and vanity had never been updated. Theresa wanted the tub replaced with a walk-in shower, along with a new vanity, floor, and toilet, a full refresh built around how the space actually gets used day to day.
Our crew tore out the original tub and dated finishes, and rebuilt the space with a custom shower base, grout-free White Pearl wall panels, and real safety features built in from the start. If you're considering a similar project, our Burien bathroom remodeling page has more on what a typical project in the area looks like.
The Challenge: A 1964 Tub/Shower Combo That Had Never Been Updated
Replacing an Original Fixture with a Safer, Modern Shower
Theresa's hall bathroom still had its original 1964 tub/shower combo, along with matching oak cabinetry that hadn't changed since the house was built. A bathroom that old often means an outdated, slippery tub that's become harder to use safely over the decades, exactly the case here.
Oasis Bath Solutions approaches a tub-to-shower conversion like this one as more than a cosmetic swap: it's a chance to build real safety features into the shower from the start, not add them on as an afterthought.
Before and After
Fully Remodeled Walk-In Shower
Fully Remodeled Vanity, Floor, & Smart Mirror
The Result
The finished bathroom replaces every original fixture with something built for daily safety and ease of use. Grout-free White Pearl wall panels seal the shower as one continuous piece, with a corner shelf for storage. Two ErgoSafetyBar grab bars, 18 and 24 inches, give real, wall-backed support, and a 3-function handshower on a slide bar makes the shower work for the whole household. A Euro sliding shower door finishes the enclosure. Outside the shower, a new built-in single-sink vanity, an illuminated LED smart mirror, a Kohler Highline Arc toilet, and new flooring round out the rest of the room.

Is a Hall Bathroom Remodel Right for Your Burien Home?
A full bathroom remodel like this makes sense for a specific set of situations. This may be a good fit if:
Your bathroom still has its original fixtures from decades ago.
You want a walk-in shower in place of a tub you no longer use.
You want added safety features, like grab bars, without an institutional look.
You want the whole bathroom addressed, including vanity, flooring, and toilet.
You're not interested in tile or grout lines that trap water over time.
