Walk in tubs and roll in showers in Florida, with installation or DIY delivery options for homeowners across the state.
Walk In Tubs and Roll In Showers in Florida — Comfort, Independence, and Aging in Place
Florida is one of the most popular places in the country to retire. Sunshine, warm winters, and active communities draw people from all over the U.S. But as the years go by, one part of the home often becomes harder to use comfortably — the bathroom. High tub walls, slick floors, and tight spaces can make bathing feel stressful instead of relaxing.
That’s where walk in tubs and roll in showers come in. For many Florida homeowners, these upgrades are more than a remodel. They are a way to keep enjoying home, community, and routine without constantly worrying about how to get in and out of the bath.
Whether you live on the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Coast, Central Florida, or the Panhandle, Aging Safely Baths can help with both installation and DIY delivery options statewide. You can also see our dedicated service page here: walk in tubs and roll in showers in Florida.
Why Florida Homeowners Are Upgrading Their Bathrooms
Many Florida homes were built with traditional bathtubs that require a high step over the tub wall. That can be uncomfortable and difficult for people with arthritis, balance concerns, or limited strength. Add in wet tile, and bathing can feel more like a challenge than a time to unwind.
Florida also has a very large population over age 60, and many people here plan to stay in their homes as long as possible. Instead of relocating to a facility, they are choosing to update the bathroom so it better matches their current and future needs.
- ✔ Desire to remain in the home, not move into care facilities
- ✔ Increased focus on comfort, ease, and independence
- ✔ Families bringing parents to live with them in Florida
- ✔ More awareness of aging in place and home accessibility
Walk In Tubs for Florida Bathrooms
A walk in tub replaces your existing tub with a unit that has a door, built-in seat, and low entry. Instead of climbing over a tall tub wall, users can enter through a door, sit down, and bathe more comfortably.
Florida customers choose walk in tubs for many reasons:
- ✔ A more relaxed bathing experience after a long day
- ✔ A place to soak tired muscles and joints
- ✔ Easier entry and exit compared to a standard tub
- ✔ A more supportive, upright seated position
Many walk in tub models also include optional features such as air or water massage, neck and back rests, and hand-held shower wands. We help match each Florida homeowner with a model that fits their bathroom and personal preferences.
Roll In Showers — Open, Easy-Entry Bathing
Some Florida homeowners prefer an open shower space instead of a tub. Barrier-free, roll in showers can be especially helpful for people who use a shower chair, walker, or wheelchair. They provide low or no threshold entry, a built-in seat, and a spacious feel that works well in the Florida climate.
- ✔ Low-entry or zero-transition threshold for easier access
- ✔ Built-in seating to support more comfortable bathing
- ✔ Reinforced wall areas for grab bar placement
- ✔ Easy-to-clean surfaces designed for everyday use
- ✔ Hand-held shower options and flexible configurations
You can read general information about home fall risks and bathing challenges on national resources such as the CDC’s page on falls and older adults: https://www.cdc.gov/falls/index.html. While every person is unique, awareness and planning can make a big difference over time.
Installation or DIY Delivery Anywhere in Florida
Some Florida customers want full installation handled for them. Others already have a trusted plumber, contractor, or handyman they prefer to work with. We support both paths.
Our Florida options include:
- ✔ Professional installation in many parts of Florida
- ✔ DIY delivery to any Florida address, including rural areas
- ✔ Contractor-friendly shipping for local installers

Planning a Bathroom Upgrade in Florida
If you are thinking about a walk in tub or roll in shower, it can help to walk through a simple planning process:
- Measure your bathroom. Note the width of the door, size of the tub/shower area, and general layout.
- Consider who will be using it. Is it for you, a spouse, a parent, or multiple family members?
- Think about current and future needs. What feels manageable now, and what might be helpful five or ten years from now?
- Decide on installation vs. DIY. Would you rather have professional installation, or do you have a trusted contractor?
- Set a realistic budget range. This can help focus options and avoid surprises later.
