Accessible Walk-In Shower and Bathroom Remodel in Poway, CA

Edgar Neria • July 3, 2025
When a bathroom doesn’t fit your lifestyle or safety needs, it’s time for a thoughtful upgrade. That’s exactly what our client, Cinda Raupe, needed when she reached out to Team Renovate.

Her main bathroom was dark, outdated, and impractical for her needs as a senior homeowner. She envisioned a space that was not only beautiful but also designed for comfort, accessibility, and ease of use. Here's how we brought that vision to life in Poway, CA.

The Challenge | Outdated Design and Lack of Accessibility

Before the remodel, Cinda’s bathroom had:


  • An outdated bathtub that was difficult and unsafe to use.
  • Limited storage and poor layout for daily routines.
  • Dark, heavy finishes that made the space feel smaller and less welcoming.

She needed a bathroom that was safer, more functional, and designed with accessibility, but without sacrificing style.


Our Solution | A Safe, Stylish, and Senior-Friendly Remodel

After consulting with Cinda, we developed a custom renovation plan that focused on comfort, accessibility, and modern elegance:


  • Removed the old bathtub and built a curbless walk-in shower with a marble bench for comfort.
  • Installed custom cabinetry, including a vanity and separate makeup station, tailored to her daily needs.
  • Chose a herringbone tile layout on the shower walls for dynamic style and visual interest.
  • Used Corsai white marble on the countertops and shower bench for a sophisticated, durable surface.
  • Separated the toilet area from the vanity using a half-wall and pocket door for privacy and better flow.
  • Upgraded finishes to a bright, clean color palette with matte black hardware for modern contrast.
  • Added built-in storage cabinetry and improved lighting throughout the space.
  • Installed grab bars and planned the layout for easy mobility and safety.

The Renovation Details | Full Demo to Finished Luxury

This was a full renovation down to the studs, including:


  • Demolition of the existing bathroom finishes and outdated layout.
  • Upgrade the walk-in shower featuring custom herringbone tile, a hex tile floor, and a marble shower bench.
  • Custom white cabinetry installation with matte black hardware.
  • Natural Corsai marble countertops for both vanity and makeup area.
  • Privacy divider and pocket door construction between the vanity and toilet areas.
  • Wood-look tile flooring installation for a warm, durable finish.
  • Painting, new mirrors, upgraded lighting, faucets, and fixtures throughout.
  • Accessibility features like grab bars carefully integrated for safety without compromising design.
