I'd like to put a small seat somewhere in our shower. Is this
something I might be able to do myself or should I hire a contractor?
I'm thinking of something that I can just screw or glue onto the
existing shower. I don't want to remove any tiles and build it in. Is
that possible or reasonable?
The shower has 4x4 tiles over sheetrock.
Here are a couple of examples I found.

It doesn't need to be as fancy as either of those.
You might consider seats from a medical supply house.
Something like this requires no install or modification to the shower.

That's a very good idea. Thanks.- Hide quoted text -

Just keep in mind that shower floors aren't level. They slope at
varying angles towards the drain.
This could be a slight issue with anything that you build or buy - it
might rock or wobble.
You didn't say if the floor was tiled or not. If it's fiberglass, and
if I wasn't sure if there was a firm concrete bed under it, I'd avoid
anything with narrow, pointed legs.
The floor is tiled. I think it's laid on the subflooring. We've had
some people of "above average" weight in there, so I think 4 legs with
fairly wide, rubber feet should be OK.
