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.

And probably the best one in your case. You can also get
inexpensive, small, plastic stools at Home Depot and many other
places.

A built in one wouldn't be all that hard - your DIY was very good
- IF the shower wasn't already tiled.

I bought an aluminum adjustable 4-legged shower seat on Amazon last
year ($25.55) because I needed it after I had broken my leg
(yesterday the orthopedist declared it fully healed - no need for
any more follow-up).

It is light, fairly compact and really comfortable. When not needed
it obviously can be packed upinto the attic, where it doesn't take
space in the shower. (Bathtub with shower, including a bar that the
handheld head can be put on for vertical adjustment higher for me
than for spouse)

Is that model still available?

This was it:

That is the one I was leaning to, but in white.

Note: I had a broken leg that couldn't bear weight, but no problems
with my equilibrium.

That stool looks fairly stable.

It is stable. Of course it may depend on who is to use it. I'm 5'9" and
~200 lbs grin
