American Shower Company builds low threshold walk in showers in Milwaukee, WI with Premium Samuel Mueller Systems and Signature BathWraps® Systems, with grab bars and seating where you need them, professionally installed by our own employees, often in one day, with over 350 installs completed so far in 2026. Every shower is backed by our Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee, and your in home price is exact, accurate to the penny.
No two accessible showers need the same setup, because no two people move the same way. Swapping an existing shower is simplest, while taking out a garden tub or creating a level entry takes more floor and drain work. Choose between Samuel Mueller solid surface and BathWraps® acrylic for the finish, and read the Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide for the detail.
Your free in home consultation gives you an exact, personal price, accurate to the penny, and the price American Shower Company writes down is the price you pay.
Homeowners in Milwaukee, WI usually come to us with one of three goals: a cleaner, newer look, an easier way in and out, or a bathroom that stops needing constant scrubbing. Below you will find how a walk in shower works here, what moves the scope, and what to expect from our team.
Milwaukee is served from our Waukesha location, and it has the oldest homes we work in, with cast iron tubs, plaster walls and original drain lines in its bungalows and duplexes. Low threshold showers and grab bars are a common request here, and the crew plans the route out of an upper flat before the day starts.
American Shower Company measures your project and gives you a clear written estimate at no cost.
We are a local shower and bath replacement company and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
People usually call about a walk in shower after a close call or before a parent moves in. The goal is simple: no tub wall to climb, a floor that grips, grab bars that hold, and a place to sit. Samuel Mueller makes ultra low and no threshold bases and textured flooring for exactly that, BathWraps® makes barrier free and Easy Step bases in custom sizes, and both wall systems stay clean without scrubbing. Our installers fit it to the person who will use it, usually in one day.

Yes. Financing is available, including interest free plans for those who qualify, so a safety upgrade does not have to wait.
It depends on the entry, the safety features and what the shower replaces, so American Shower Company gives an exact price at a free in home consultation rather than a guess. An ultra low or no threshold entry, a fold down seat, grab bars, a handheld and removing a garden tub all change the scope, and Premium Samuel Mueller Systems and Signature BathWraps® Systems give you options at different budgets. Our Wisconsin shower replacement cost guide explains each factor, and your price is accurate to the penny.
Because they are common and they get worse with age. The CDC counted an estimated 234,094 nonfatal bathroom injuries treated in emergency departments in 2008 among people 15 and older, and 81.1 percent were falls. The same report found injury rates rose with age (MMWR, June 10, 2011). A low entry, grab bars, a seat and a grip floor target those falls.
A low threshold shower keeps a very small lip at the entry, enough to hold water in but easy to step over. A no threshold shower is level with the bathroom floor so a walker or a wheelchair can come straight in, which takes more work on the floor and drain. Samuel Mueller makes both, BathWraps® offers barrier free and Easy Step bases, and we recommend one after measuring.
Our own trained employees install every shower, not subcontractors. It is covered by our Lifetime Warranty and Workmanship Guarantee: the lifetime product warranty comes from the manufacturer, Samuel Mueller or BathWraps®, and American Shower Company backs its installation with its workmanship guarantee. Kathy R. wrote that her crew "could not have been any more professional or courteous."
Many are installed in one day when the shower goes into the old tub or shower footprint. A no threshold entry, a moved drain or repairs found behind the old walls can add time, and your written price says so up front. Tracey F. noted her crew "double checked with me everything that the salesman and I had discussed" before starting, and finished in less than a day.
Usually. Samuel Mueller bases are trimmable and BathWraps® makes custom bases from 30 to 84 inches, so most walk in showers go into the space an old tub or shower already occupies. The vanity, toilet and flooring stay in place, which keeps the job to about a day in many homes.
Yes, and it is one of the most common projects in older bathrooms. Becca K. wrote that her crew removed "a whirlpool from the 80s" and replaced it "with a walk in shower" in "a full 12 hour day." Larger tubs take more removal and wall work, and your designer explains that scope before anything is scheduled.
Our Waukesha location at S17 W22655 Lincoln Ave serves Milwaukee, about 15 miles east of it, and can be reached at (414) 404 6730. Consultations are free, prices are accurate to the penny, and the work is done by our own employees rather than subcontractors, the same as in the Fox Valley.
Yes. Milwaukee has the oldest housing we serve, and cast iron tubs in upper and lower flats are routine. The crew plans the route out of the building before the day starts, and a Samuel Mueller alcove tub or a Samuel Mueller or BathWraps® shower goes into the same space.
Moderately hard. Milwaukee Water Works treats Lake Michigan water and publishes a hardness of 137 mg/L, or 8.01 grains per gallon, with a range of 112 to 142 mg/L. That leaves mineral spots on glass and chrome over time. Samuel Mueller and BathWraps® walls are nonporous with no grout to hold scale, and the Forever Valve is designed by the manufacturer to resist calcium buildup.
