Default Who installs shower grab bars and shower seats

an estimate for installing a shower grab bar and a fold-down shower seat.


BTW, there are removable grab bars that are held on by suction cups.
I was _very_ skeptical about how well they would hold until I actually
got my hands on one.

They're a nice addition to a permanent grab bar, but not a
replacement. They're great for adding some more piece of mind and
another place to hold on to help keep your balance. The tile should
be perfectly clean and the suction cups entirely on one tile and not
lapping over onto grout lines.
