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.

OP-

Looks like the group consensus is buy vs build (wood or tile).

The unit that Oren linked to appears to be a design with 3
feet......no wobble.

A shower retrofit (demo, frame, tile) is going to cost at least 10x
what a purchased seat would cost.

Is the shower stall large enough for a seat?
My tile guy talked me out of a tiled / in shower seat.......shower
stall was not big enough.

My suggestion, buy one from http://www.allegromedical.com & you're
done.
