The upgrade owners ask for most
A walk-in shower is the single change that makes a bathroom feel new. It opens the room up, it is easier to clean than a tub, and it is easier to use at any age. We build them in high-rise condos and shore homes across Atlantic County, usually as part of a bathroom remodel or a tub-to-shower conversion.
Walk-in shower options
- Glass. A single fixed panel with no door, a hinged door, or a full frameless enclosure.
- Entry. A low curb, or a curbless entry where the floor slopes to the drain and you walk straight in.
- Seating. A built-in tiled bench or a fold-down seat.
- Storage. Tiled niches sized for real bottles, set where you can reach them.
- Fixtures. Rain heads, handheld showers on a slide bar, and thermostatic valves that hold the temperature.
- Tile. Marble, large-format porcelain, herringbone or mosaic floors that grip when wet.
Walk-in showers for seniors
For owners planning to stay in their home or condo for years, we design the shower to be safe from the start: a curbless or low entry, a bench, grab bars mounted into solid blocking, a handheld shower within reach of the seat, and slip-resistant tile. Done well, none of it looks clinical.
Sizing a walk-in shower
A standard 5-foot tub alcove converts into a comfortable walk-in shower. Larger bathrooms can take a longer shower with a bench at one end and a fixed glass panel with no door. We measure at the walk-through and show you what fits.
Built not to leak
Every walk-in shower we build has a waterproof membrane under the tile on the floor and walls. In a condo, that is what keeps water out of the unit below, and it is why we do not use shortcuts or kit shower walls.
“Boardwalk Renovations transformed our condo into a space that feels refined, calm, and built to last. The quality of the work and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire project.”

How much does a walk-in shower cost?
Most bathroom remodels we quote, including a new walk-in shower, fall between $15,000 and $35,000, depending on size, tile, glass and whether plumbing moves. A free walk-through gets you a written number.
Can a walk-in shower have no door?
Yes. A fixed glass panel with an open end works well in most bathrooms with enough length, and there is no door to clean or swing.
Can you build a curbless shower in a condo?
Often, yes. It depends on the floor and where the drain runs through the slab. We check both at the walk-through before designing the shower.
Can you add a bench or seat?
Yes. We build tiled benches into the shower or install fold-down seats, along with grab bars and a handheld shower.
How long does it take?
As part of a bathroom remodel, most bathrooms take 2 to 4 weeks on site once the tile, vanity and glass are ordered.
