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.
Planning a walk in shower in Wausau, WI is mostly about fit: the footprint you have, the look you want and who will be using the bathroom in ten years. This page covers the local housing picture, the options worth comparing, and exactly how American Shower Company runs the work.
Wausau anchors our Central Wisconsin service area, and accessibility comes up in most consultations here. The typical call is a long time homeowner who wants to stay in an older house, which is the case for a low threshold walk in shower with a fold down seat and grab bars.
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:
Aging in place starts in the bathroom because that is where the risk is. An accessible walk in shower from American Shower Company pairs a low or zero entry with a fold down seat, grab bars, a handheld shower and a slip resistant floor, in either Samuel Mueller solid surface or BathWraps® acrylic. Nothing on the walls needs sealing. Mike L. noted his project manager handled a reschedule "due to a late season snowstorm that paralyzed the whole state," and the crew still delivered a job he called superb.
American Shower Company works across the Wausau area, including:
Recent shower and bath installs our own employed installers completed near Wausau, listed nearest town first. The towns and months come straight from the crew's own job photos, so every line is a real home our team worked in. Each of these was a walk in shower project.
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.
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.
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."
Samuel Mueller states that its shower floors are the most slip resistant flooring on the market, and the textured solid surface is designed to keep grip when wet. We pair it with grab bars and, where helpful, a seat, because no floor alone prevents every slip.
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.
Yes. Financing is available, including interest free plans for those who qualify, so a safety upgrade does not have to wait.
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.
Wausau has many long time homeowners who want to keep living in their houses, and the bathroom is where that decision gets made. That is why low threshold walk in showers, grab bars and fold down seats come up in most Wausau consultations.
Yes, because it is indoor work. Wausau winters are the coldest of our markets, so appointments are planned around the forecast so the crew can reach the house, and the old fixtures leave through a protected path to the door.
Fairly soft for Wisconsin. Wausau Water Works pumps from municipal wells near the Wisconsin River, and Wisconsin DNR samples from January 2026 show total hardness of 64 mg/L, under 4 grains per gallon. Soft water is easier on fixtures, so in Wausau the bigger reasons to replace a shower are age, grout failure and safety.
Over 350 installs so far in 2026, from the Fox Valley to Milwaukee and Madison. Here are some of the bathrooms our crew photographed along the way. The map shows towns, not addresses.
