Project Overview
Joyce, a homeowner in the Summit area of Puyallup, got quotes from several contractors before choosing Oasis Bath Solutions. What set us apart was simple: we don't use high-pressure sales tactics.
Our crew converted Joyce's dated tub and shower combo into a fully accessible walk-in shower with a custom Azzurra Bay shower base, dual grab bars, and a built-in teak folding seat, completed in a single day. If you're considering a similar project, our Puyallup bathroom remodeling page has more on what a typical project in the area looks like.
The Challenge: Choosing the Right Contractor Without the Pressure
From Multiple Bids to a Fully Accessible Walk-In Shower
Joyce's original tub and shower combo had reached the point where a full replacement made sense. Before deciding on a contractor, she got quotes from several companies. What made Oasis Bath Solutions stand out wasn't a sales pitch, it was the absence of one. We gave her a clear, honest quote and let her make the decision on her own timeline.
Our crew tore out the old tub and shower and rebuilt the space around a custom Azzurra Bay shower base, with dual grab bars and a built-in teak folding seat. For homeowners weighing a similar accessible conversion, our tub-to-shower conversion and shower remodel pages walk through what's involved.
Before and After
The Result: A Fully Accessible Walk-In Shower
The finished shower is built around a custom Azzurra Bay shower base, with matching wall panels sealed as continuous sheets instead of individual tiles. Two ErgoSafetyBar grab bars, an 18-inch and a 24-inch, are anchored directly into the wall framing, and a Moen teak folding seat gives Joyce a stable place to sit while showering.
A brushed nickel Retreat shower system replaced the original fixtures, and a brushed nickel Euro sliding door finishes the enclosure with a clean, contained look.
Full scope of work:
Standard wetspace install package
Green board shower system
18" ErgoSafetyBar grab bar
24" ErgoSafetyBar grab bar
Brushed nickel Tru-Temp valve

Benefits
Results of This Puyallup Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Chosen Without Pressure
Joyce compared bids and chose Oasis specifically because we don't push a sale.
A Safe Place to Sit
The built-in teak folding seat means showering doesn't require standing the whole time.
Two Grab Bars for Real Support
Both are anchored directly into the wall framing, not a clamp-on or suction option.
No More Grout to Maintain
Azzurra Bay panels seal as one piece, so there are no grout lines left to crack, stain, or collect mold.
Fast Turnaround
The full conversion was completed in a single day.
Is a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Right for Your Home?
A tub-to-shower conversion like Joyce's makes sense for a specific set of situations. This may be a good fit if:
You're comparing multiple bids and want a contractor that won't pressure you
You want a built-in seat rather than a separate shower chair
You want more than one grab bar positioned where you actually need support
Your tub and shower are original to the home and due for an update
You want a custom-fit shower base built to your exact space
You're comfortable with a project timeline of about a day

Do you use high-pressure sales tactics?
No. Joyce got quotes from multiple contractors before choosing Oasis specifically because we don't push a sale. We give you a clear, honest quote and the time to decide on your own.
Can I get a built-in folding seat like this one?
In most cases, yes. A teak folding seat like the one used here fits most standard shower footprints. We confirm sizing during the free in-home consultation.
Why did this project use two grab bars instead of one?
Two grab bars, positioned at different heights and locations, give more consistent support throughout the shower, not just at one point. We plan grab bar placement based on how you actually move through the space.
