Safe to use, gorgeous to look at.
Most accessible bathrooms fail the same test: they work, but they look like a hospital room. We don't think you should have to choose. Our aging-in-place remodels start with the same tile, glasswork, and finishes as our full renovations — then we build the safety in so seamlessly that guests never notice it. A grab bar that reads as a sleek towel rail. A curbless walk-in shower that looks like it belongs in a boutique hotel. A solid teak bench that folds flat against the wall when the grandkids visit.
Carolina Bath Solutions is family-owned, licensed and insured in both North and South Carolina, and every project is built by our own employee crews — never subcontractors. That's how we can stand behind a lifetime workmanship warranty, and it's why families across the region trust us with the bathrooms their parents use every day. It all starts with a free in-home estimate: 45 to 60 minutes, a written quote locked for 12 months, and zero pressure.
Built-In, Not Bolted On
Safety features we design in from the start.
Every accessible bathroom we build is planned around the person who'll use it — their reach, their balance, their routine. These are the upgrades we install most often:
Curbless, Zero-Threshold Showers
No lip to step over — a walker or wheelchair rolls straight in. A sleek linear drain keeps water where it belongs, so the whole floor reads as one clean surface.
Integrated Grab Bars
Anchored into solid blocking behind the wall, not just drywall, and finished to match your faucet and hardware. Strong enough to trust, subtle enough to forget.
Fold-Down Teak Benches
A warm, solid seat for showering safely — and it stows flat against the wall so the shower still feels open when it's not needed.
Comfort-Height Vanities & Toilets
A few extra inches of height means far less bending and strain, day after day. Small change, big difference for knees and backs.
Anti-Slip Flooring
Textured porcelain and slip-rated surfaces that grip underfoot wet or dry — chosen from the same designer lines we use in every remodel.
Widened Doorways & Handheld Showers
Wider clearances for easy passage with a walker or chair, plus adjustable handheld showers on slide bars so bathing works seated or standing.
Who We Help
For today's needs — and tomorrow's.
- Aging in place — staying safely and comfortably in the home you love
- Mobility challenges — wheelchair or walker users, limited balance, recovery after surgery
- Multigenerational homes — one bathroom that genuinely works for ages 8 to 80
- Planning ahead — often after a close call or a fall that made the risk feel real
Many of these projects begin with a phone call from an adult son or daughter arranging things for a parent. We understand how delicate that conversation can be. Our team is patient and respectful — we explain every option in plain English, we never talk over the person who'll actually use the bathroom, and we honor our no-pressure promise on every visit: no robocalls, no three-hour pitches, no sign-tonight discounts. Ever.
Timelines are shorter than most families expect. Most safety conversions — including a tub-to-shower conversion with a curbless entry — are installed in just 1 to 2 days. A full bathroom remodel typically runs 2 to 3 weeks. We pull and handle any required permits ourselves, flexible financing is available including 0% promotional plans with approved credit, and we serve homes up to 90 miles around downtown Charlotte in both Carolinas.
Common Questions
Accessibility remodeling, answered honestly.
Will an accessible bathroom look institutional?
No — and this is the heart of our approach. We use the same designer tile, frameless glass, and premium fixtures as our full remodels, then integrate the safety features so they read as design choices rather than medical equipment. Grab bars come in finishes that match your faucet, and benches are solid teak, not plastic.
How quickly can you install if we have an urgent need?
Most safety conversions take just 1 to 2 days of installation once materials arrive. If a recent fall or an upcoming hospital discharge has put your family on a deadline, tell us when you call — we'll prioritize your in-home estimate and get a firm timeline in writing.
Can insurance or VA benefits help with an accessibility remodel?
Many projects qualify for assistance through long-term care insurance, state programs, or VA home modification grants for eligible veterans. We're remodelers, not benefits administrators, so we can't file claims for you — but we'll gladly point you to the right resources and provide any documentation your provider requests. Always verify coverage with your provider first.
Can you retrofit our existing shower instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Properly anchored grab bars, a handheld shower on a slide bar, anti-slip treatment, and a fold-down bench can usually be added to a structurally sound shower. During your free estimate we'll tell you honestly whether a retrofit gets you there or whether a curbless conversion is the safer long-term answer.
