How much is a Safe Step walk-in shower?

Safe Step walk-in shower prices start at around $4,000. However, the final cost after installation may be different depending on your scheduling, space and plumbing requirements.

The price of a shower unit plus installation is not listed on the Safe Step website, but that is not uncommon in the industry. You can enter your contact information on its website to receive a free estimate and sign up for an in-home consultation, though.

Safe Step offers tailored financing plans to qualifying individuals, and its Helping Hands Rebate offers up to a $1,500 discount for people with specific medical conditions. Military discounts are also available.

Note that some customers may need to upgrade their water heater to at least an 80-gallon capacity for optimal performance. Be sure to discuss your current water heater specifications during your consultation to understand any additional costs you may incur.

How Safe Step shower remodels work

Safe Step’s conversion service replaces your traditional tub with a low-threshold, walk-in shower. The process is streamlined and typically completed in one day. Here’s a breakdown of the four key steps:

  • Tub removal: The team begins by carefully removing your existing bathtub. This includes detaching the tub, clearing debris and preparing the space for the new installation.
  • Shower placement prep: Installers assess the subfloor and wall condition, then reinforce or repair surfaces as needed to support the new shower system.
  • Plumbing rerouting: Plumbing lines are adjusted to match the configuration of the new shower, including repositioning the drain and water supply to align with the shower fixtures.
  • Shower installation: The new walk-in shower is installed, including wall panels, fixtures, grab bars and accessories. Once installed, the system is tested for leaks and functionality before final cleanup.

Safe Step claims that 95% of projects are completed in less than one day.

    Reviewed May 13, 2026

    Updated on 05/16/2026: Same person showed up to do the repair of the drain. Had to replace entire drain assembly, due to incorrect installation in the first place. Drain is fixed. Attempted to address door issue, no real improvement. He advised there is no way to stop the wobbly fixtures due to no solid anchor points on the wall or shower wall. This is a VERY poor quality product and process of installation. A control valve for a shower should not move in any direction when operated. There should not be a 26 inch long plumbing pipe filled with flowing water that moves in any direction. There should not be a shower head with a 20 inch plumbing pipe extension from the wall that move side to side and up and down when you adjust the angle of spray. The control valve, Shower pipe with diverter valve, shower head holder and soap dish holder, and shower head should be anchored in place and not move with any very minor touch.

    Original Review: Reviewed Kohler, Jacuzzi and SafeStep. Chose safe step because of reviews and pricing. Well that was a mistake. Installer was not terrible, but work was poor quality and they did not really try to keep my house protected (not enough runners to protect carpets and several gouges in walls). After install was advised not to enter shower for 24 hours. Shower was not tested by installer. I checked hardware: grab bar was loose, shower head and pipe are loose and move back and forth, water control valve is not mounted well. It moves back and forth and the shower pan flexes when walked on. The drain system leaks into my basement.

    Calls to Safe step has yielded a call from service tech who is due today to repair above problems. Fit and finish is not great either, walls are not even at the ceiling they try to cover this up with large amount of caulking, which is not uniform or covering completely. Overall install was abysmal and not to normal standards for a $15,000 job.

      Zero stars actually! Last night someone from their company called me at 10:25 p.m. wanting to discuss installation of a shower unit. NO ONE should be placing business calls at 10:25 pm!! It woke me up….made my heart race…. calls that come in at 10:25 p.m. are usually bad news. Especially when a person is the caregiver of extremely elderly parents. I never want to have any contact from that company again. Remove ALL of my contact information from your database! I never want any contact from you again. NEVER!

      I really like my Signature walk in shower with one very minor exception. The rain shower head could use more pressure. Is it possible to purchase a more powerful head or is there a way to modify the one that came with it....

      So grateful for the great support and service from Dan. I can now use my SafeStep tub with confidence, knowing how to use it, especially how to clean it. It's a big investment that I wasn't using b/c I had never had a demonstration when it was installed. The written instructions weren't working for me so Dan's demonstration has made all the difference. Confidence RESTORED.
