Accessible Restroom Services in Metro Vancouver
From accessible restroom renovations in Vancouver to full wet room installations across the North Shore, our Red Seal certified plumbers design and build curbless showers, grab bar installations, and barrier-free restrooms that pair medical-grade safety with the calm of a luxury spa.
Curbless Shower Conversions
A curbless shower conversion removes the single most dangerous obstacle in any restroom: the step-over. Our Vancouver team re-slopes the subfloor, relocates the drain, and waterproofs a sleek, zero-threshold shower you can walk into with a walker — or roll into in a wheelchair — without ever lifting a foot over a curb. Every conversion is built to last by Red Seal certified plumbers using premium waterproofing systems, so the result is as watertight as it is beautiful.
We complete curbless shower conversions throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and New Westminster, matching tile, glass, and finishes to the look you love. The finished space feels like a private spa — clean lines, seamless drainage, no clutter — while quietly delivering the barrier-free safety that lets you bathe with confidence and dignity for years to come.
What's included:
- Removing your existing tub or shower curb to create a true zero-threshold entry
- Subfloor slope modification engineered for proper drainage
- Drain relocation by licensed Red Seal plumbers
- Premium waterproof membrane (Schluter KERDI or Wedi)
- New shower valve rough-in ready for your fixtures
Full Wet Room Installation
A full wet room is the gold standard of accessible restroom design — an entire room waterproofed floor to ceiling so water can flow freely to a single linear drain. There are no trays, no curbs, and no barriers anywhere, which makes a wet room the safest and most elegant solution for wheelchair users and anyone who values open, unobstructed space. Our Coquitlam and Surrey clients love how a wet room transforms a cramped, dated restroom into a serene, light-filled retreat.
Every wet room we install across Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Maple Ridge is meticulously sealed by Red Seal certified plumbers, then finished with the tile and fixtures of your choice. Add an optional heated floor and your barrier-free restroom delivers spa-level comfort underfoot — warm, dry, and slip-resistant — while remaining fully accessible from the moment you step or roll through the door.
What's included:
- Entire restroom waterproofed floor to ceiling for total peace of mind
- Floor-to-ceiling tile-ready surfaces prepared to a flawless finish
- Sleek linear drain for fast, even drainage
- Heated floor option for warmth and quicker drying
- Fully barrier-free layout from door to drain
Grab Bar & Safety Rail Installation
A grab bar is only as safe as what it's anchored to. Too many bars are screwed into hollow drywall with plastic anchors that can tear out under real weight — exactly when someone needs them most. Our grab bar installation in Vancouver, Delta, and Langley is different: we open the wall and add structural blocking so every bar and safety rail is anchored into solid wood, not drywall anchors. The result holds firm under full body weight, every single time.
We follow CSA-compliant placement and welcome guidance from your occupational therapist to position each rail exactly where you reach for support — by the toilet, in the shower, beside the tub. Choose from polished stainless steel or designer finishes that blend seamlessly into a luxury restroom. Homeowners across West Vancouver and Port Coquitlam trust us to make safety look effortless and feel rock-solid.
What's included:
- CSA-compliant placement for reliable, code-correct support
- Structural blocking added behind walls — anchored into solid blocking, not drywall anchors
- Stainless steel and designer finish options to match your space
- OT-recommended positioning tailored to how you move
Walk-In Shower Builds
When a restroom needs more than a quick conversion, we build walk-in showers from the framing up. Starting at the studs lets us get the slope, drainage, and waterproofing exactly right — the foundation of a shower that stays safe and dry for decades. Our Burnaby and Richmond clients choose a new walk-in shower build when they want a low-threshold, easy-access space designed around their needs rather than retrofitted around old plumbing.
As Red Seal certified plumbers, we handle the complete plumbing rough-in and deliver permit-ready work, pulling and coordinating every permit and inspection required in Vancouver and across Metro Vancouver. We also coordinate your glass enclosure so the finished shower is watertight, gorgeous, and built to a professional standard from the first stud to the final pane — clean, calm, and reassuringly solid.
What's included:
- New shower construction from framing for a proper foundation
- All plumbing rough-in completed by Red Seal certified plumbers
- Permit-ready work with permits and inspections handled for you
- Glass enclosure coordination for a seamless, watertight finish
Barrier-Free Restroom Renovations
A barrier-free restroom renovation reimagines the entire room for full independence. For wheelchair users, every detail matters: a roll-in shower with no lip, fixtures set at reachable heights, and a clear turning radius that lets a chair move freely without bumping a vanity or door. We design and build complete accessible restrooms across Vancouver, Surrey, and Coquitlam that meet these requirements precisely while still feeling warm, modern, and genuinely inviting.
Our Red Seal certified team treats barrier-free design as craftsmanship, not compromise. We lower sinks and controls to comfortable, usable heights, install roll-in showers with seamless drainage, and verify clearances so the space works in the real world — not just on paper. Families in North Vancouver and New Westminster choose VAR because we deliver true accessibility with the polish of a premium, spa-grade renovation.
What's included:
- Full accessible restroom builds designed for wheelchair users
- Roll-in shower with zero lip and seamless drainage
- Lowered fixtures set at comfortable, reachable heights
- Turning radius compliance verified for real-world use
Handicap Accessible Restroom Upgrades
Not every home needs a full rebuild — sometimes the right set of targeted upgrades transforms an ordinary restroom into a safe, dignified, handicap accessible space. We deliver ADA/CSA compliant modifications across Vancouver, Burnaby, and Maple Ridge, from comfort-height toilet installation that makes sitting and standing far easier, to handheld shower systems that put control within reach for seated bathing.
We also coordinate wider doorway work so wheelchairs and walkers pass through comfortably, and we plan each upgrade around how you actually use the room. The result is a handicap accessible restroom that meets recognized accessibility standards while looking like a thoughtfully designed, high-end space — never clinical. Homeowners in Langley and Delta rely on our Red Seal certified team to get the compliance details right and the finish even better.
What's included:
- ADA/CSA compliant modifications built to recognized standards
- Wider doorways coordination for easy wheelchair and walker access
- Comfort-height toilet installation for safer transfers
- Handheld shower systems for flexible, seated bathing
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Climbing over a high tub wall is one of the leading causes of restroom falls — and one of the easiest to eliminate. A tub-to-shower conversion removes that old soaker tub entirely and replaces it with a safe, easy-access shower or full wet room. Our Coquitlam and Richmond clients are amazed at how much larger and more open the room feels once the bulky tub is gone, replaced by a clean, walk-in showering space.
We handle the full conversion: removing the tub, relocating the drain, and modifying the floor so water drains correctly toward a new shower pan or seamlessly tiled wet room floor. Every tub-to-shower conversion across Vancouver, Surrey, and Port Coquitlam is completed by Red Seal certified plumbers with proper waterproofing, giving you a beautiful, low-maintenance shower that's far safer to step into every day.
What's included:
- Tub removal and full haul-away of the old fixture
- Drain relocation by licensed Red Seal plumbers
- Floor modification for correct slope and drainage
- New shower pan or wet room tile installation
Aging-in-Place Restroom Modifications
Most people want to grow older in the home they love, and the restroom is where that goal is won or lost. Our aging-in-place restroom modifications begin with a careful, in-home assessment of how you move and where the risks hide, then we build a tailored plan of upgrades that keeps you safe without turning your home into a hospital. We serve seniors and their families throughout Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Burnaby with warmth, patience, and discretion.
Guided by occupational therapist recommendations, we install non-slip flooring that grips even when wet, add a thermostatic valve for scald prevention so the water never runs dangerously hot, and integrate the supports that make daily routines feel effortless again. Families in Langley, Delta, and West Vancouver trust our Red Seal certified team to deliver aging-in-place renovations that protect independence today and adapt gracefully for the years ahead.
What's included:
- Assessment-based modifications tailored to your home and mobility
- OT-recommended upgrades for everyday safety and confidence
- Non-slip flooring that stays secure underfoot when wet
- Thermostatic valve installation for scald prevention
Most of this may be covered by a grant
Many Metro Vancouver homeowners have no idea this funding exists. The BC RAHA program offers eligible households up to $20,000 toward accessibility renovations, and the federal Home Accessibility Tax Credit (HATC) can return up to $3,000 more at tax time. We help you find what you qualify for and time your project so approvals come first.
