Handicap Tub Conversions in Denver, CO
When the tub becomes the hardest part of the bathroom.
A standard bathtub asks a lot of anyone with limited mobility: a high wall to step over, a smooth wet surface underfoot, and nothing solid to hold onto getting in or out. For a lot of Denver homeowners — and for adult children helping a parent stay in their home — that daily climb over the tub wall becomes the biggest safety concern in the house.
The answer doesn't have to be a full bathroom remodel. A handicap tub conversion works with the tub and bathroom you already have: we convert an existing tub into a walk-in shower arrangement that's far easier and safer to get in and out of, and we can add the safety touches that make the whole setup work — grab bars where you need support, and non-slip surfaces where footing matters most.
Surface Specialists of Denver has been working on tubs and bathroom surfaces for 40+ years. We're family owned and operated — Nick and April Roos — BBB A+ rated, and our work has been featured on HGTV's Rehab Addict. Alongside homeowners across Denver and Northern Colorado, we work for builders and hotels, including DR Horton and Ferguson.
What a handicap tub conversion is
Instead of removing your tub and rebuilding the bathroom around a new shower, a conversion modifies the tub that's already there so it functions as an accessible, walk-in bathing space. Stepping over the high tub wall — the part that makes bathing risky — goes away, while the tub, plumbing layout, and the rest of your bathroom stay in place.
Every situation is a little different, which is why it starts with a conversation and a free estimate. We look at your existing tub, talk through who will be using it and what makes bathing difficult right now, and recommend the conversion and safety additions that fit — which can include grab bars and non-slip surfaces as part of making the bathing area safer overall.
Conversion vs. a full bathroom remodel
A full accessibility remodel can mean demolition, new fixtures, plumbing changes, tile work, and weeks with the bathroom torn apart. A conversion is a focused change to the one thing causing the problem — the tub — so the rest of the bathroom, and the rest of your routine, stays intact.
Call (720) 708-8340 for a free estimate. We'll tell you honestly whether a conversion fits your tub and your needs, and what we'd recommend — no pressure either way.

Frequently asked questions
What is a handicap tub conversion?
It's a modification of your existing tub that turns it into a walk-in bathing space, so you no longer have to step over the high tub wall. Grab bars and non-slip surfaces can be added as part of the work.
How long does a conversion take?
It depends on the tub and the scope of the work, so we give you a clear timeline as part of your free estimate rather than guessing here.
Can grab bars and non-slip surfaces be added on their own?
They're part of the accessibility work we do — tell us what you're trying to make safer when you call, and we'll tell you what we can do.
