The Angora crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Saint Louis County. Bathing stays at home, where it belongs.
One number reaches the people who fit the tubs. Say what the bathroom is like and we take it from there.
(844) 578-1861Take your time on the phone. Who does the bathing, how they get around today, the size of the bathroom and the doorways on the way in: that is all we need to set a date for the visit.
Getting in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain as the years slip by.
This is why safety upgrades in the bathroom become so critical for staying independent at home.
Our professional team specializes in fitting these accessible, deep-soaking units with secure side doors right in your existing layout.
When you choose to work with us, you get a direct pathway to stress-free bathing.
We come right to your house to look at your setup and give you a free estimate.
This means you get exact pricing without any guessing or pressure.
Your peace of mind is our main goal during this whole process.
Therefore, we focus on high-quality workmanship that keeps water inside the tub and off your floor.
Now is the perfect time to make your daily routine simple and safe again.
Traditional tubs require a big step over a high wall which often leads to slips.
By contrast, our low-threshold entry systems let you walk right inside without lifting your legs high.
You simply step over a tiny barrier that is only a few inches off the ground.
Once you are inside, you can sit down on a comfortable, molded bench seat.
This elevated seating position means you do not have to struggle to stand back up.
On top of that, strategically placed grab bars give you extra handholds to keep your balance at all times.
To make things even better, these deep units let you soak your whole torso in warm water.
Which means you get the therapeutic benefits of a deep bath while sitting completely upright.
It is the ultimate combination of safety and pure relaxation for your daily routine.
| Feature | Direct Daily Benefit |
|---|---|
| Low-Step Entry Threshold | Prevents trips and balance loss when entering |
| Contoured Built-In Seat | Eliminates the need to lower yourself to the floor |
| Leak-Free Door Seal | Keeps your bathroom floor dry and mold-free |
| Fast-Draining Technology | Lets you exit the unit quickly without freezing |
Every home has its own plumbing quirks that require some creative thinking.
Fortunately, our crew knows how to adapt your existing pipes to match these specialized units.
We look at your water heater capacity first to make sure you have enough hot water.
Sometimes, we need to widen your bathroom doorway just a bit to slide the new unit in.
Which is why our detailed preparation work before the actual setup day is so important.
We protect your floors and clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools.
Another crucial detail we handle is the fast-drain system which empties the water in minutes.
Because nobody wants to sit shivering in a cold tub waiting for the water to slowly gurgle away.
This specialized drainage system solves that issue completely so you can get on with your day.
These heavy-duty units hold a lot of water and require a strong subfloor underneath them.
Consequently, we always inspect the joists below your bathroom to ensure they can support the weight.
If we find any soft spots or old water damage, we repair those areas first.
This careful approach guarantees your new setup remains rock-solid for decades to come.
Additionally, we align the new plumbing connections perfectly to prevent any hidden slow leaks.
You can rest easy knowing the job was done right by hands-on professionals.
Every person has different physical needs when it comes to mobility assistance.
For this reason, we place the grab bars and handheld showerheads exactly where you want them.
You get a tailored setup that fits your height and reach perfectly.
We can also add soothing air jets or water hydrotherapy nozzles to help soothe sore muscles.
These features turn a basic safety upgrade into a luxurious spa experience right at home.
You deserve to feel pampered while staying safe in your private space.
We love helping homeowners in this beautiful, quiet part of Saint Louis County stay in their beloved homes.
Even though our local population in Angora, Minnesota is around 40 people, we believe everyone deserves top-tier service.
We happily drive out to the 55703 ZIP code area to provide personal, face-to-face consultations.
Living in a small community means our reputation is everything to us.
So we treat your home with the same respect we would show to our own grandmother's house.
We explain every step of the installation clearly without using confusing industry jargon.
Whether you are living on a fixed retirement income or managing a busy household, we find options that fit.
Our team works efficiently to get your bathroom back in order as quickly as possible.
We do not believe in cutting corners because your physical safety relies on our precision.
First, we arrive on time with all our tools and the new unit ready to go.
Then, we carefully remove your old, outdated tub and haul it away for you.
This saves you the headache of trying to figure out local disposal rules.
Next, we prep the space by leveling the floor and updating the drain lines.
After that, we slide the new unit into place and secure it to the wall studs.
We hook up the fixtures, seal the edges, and test every single feature twice.
Finally, we show you how to operate the door latch and the jet controls properly.
We make sure you feel completely confident using your new system before we leave.
The entire process is smooth, organized, and designed to minimize disruption to your life.

Three ideas carry the whole invention. Once they make sense, the rest of this page is just detail.
You open the door, walk in on a dry floor, sit down and close it. Only then does the water run. Because the door swings into the tub, the water itself presses it against its seal: the fuller the tub, the tighter it holds. The design cannot forget to be shut properly.
An ordinary bathtub asks you to swing a leg over a wall some fifteen inches tall, on wet tile, usually while holding nothing sturdier than a towel bar. A walk-in tub asks for a small step, about the height of a stair riser cut in half, with a grab bar placed exactly where your hand goes looking for one.
The honest cost of the sealed door is that you sit while the tub fills and while it empties. Makers answer with fast drains, often two of them, that send the water away in a couple of minutes, and with heated seats and warm air so those minutes pass kindly. We time both on your own plumbing at the assessment.
We install walk-in tubs, so you might expect us to always recommend one. We will not. If you have not enjoyed a bath in twenty years, a walk-in shower may serve you better, and we will say so at your own sink. Here is the honest picture.
| The question | Walk-in tub | Walk-in shower |
|---|---|---|
| What bathing feels like | A full warm soak, jets if you want them | A quick rinse, standing or on a bench |
| Time it asks of you | Longer: fill, soak, drain | Minutes, in and out |
| Floor space needed | Sits in the footprint of the old bathtub | Wants a little more open floor to work well |
| Budget, installed | Higher, because the door and seal are precision work | Often lower for a simple conversion |
| Sore joints and tired muscles | Warm water and jets do real, daily good here | No soak, so none of the soak's relief |
| Who tends to love it | People who cherish their bath and mean to keep it | People who shower quickly and want easy cleaning |
The deciding question is usually the first row. If the answer to "do you miss your bath" is yes, the rest of the table tends to follow.
We cut it free, shield the floors along the hallway and carry it out gently. Most old bathtubs are gone from the house before lunch.
Walk-in tubs are built to travel through ordinary doorways. Every door on the route gets measured at the assessment, so delivery day holds no surprises.
Your supply lines usually stay where they are. We fit the new valve, the hand shower and the quick drain, and check that your water heater can fill a proper soak.
The door is the heart of the tub, so it gets the slow, careful hour: aligned, adjusted and closed on its seal until the gap reads even all the way around.
When your tub has hydrotherapy, the pumps go in quiet, the lines are purged, and every control lands where a seated bather reaches it without leaning.
Panels and trim close the sides and the caulk lines are drawn clean. Then the tub is filled to the very brim once, and we watch the seal earn its keep.
We would rather tell you this before you fall in love with a tub. A walk-in tub is a home improvement, not medical equipment, and it is paid for out of the household budget the way a new roof or a rebuilt porch is. Anyone who tells you otherwise on a first phone call is selling harder than they are listening.
We make no claim about what any plan, programme or agency might do on your behalf, and we will not guess for them. Those questions belong to the people who administer them, and their answer is the only one that counts. Ask them directly, and ask before you commit to anything, including anything of ours.
What we can do is make the asking easy. Your quote arrives itemized, every line explained, so whoever needs to see it gets a precise document instead of a vague promise. That is the whole of what we control, and we would rather hand you that than a hopeful sentence about somebody else's money.
You tell us who bathes and how they get around, the rough size of the bathroom and how the tub would travel in. A few minutes on the phone, and a date for the visit.
We come to your home, measure the bathroom and every doorway on the route, and listen. No van full of tubs at the curb, no clipboard theatrics, no hurry.
A written quote follows, with each line explained in plain words: the tub, the work, the removal of the old one. Show it to your family. Sleep on it as long as you like.
One crew, one to three days. The old tub out, the new one plumbed, sealed and tested full. Your water is off for hours at a stretch, never for days.
Before we leave, we go through the door, the seat, the drain and the controls with the person who will actually bathe, until every part of it feels ordinary.
| The project | Usual bracket | What sits inside it |
|---|---|---|
| Walk-in soaker tub, installed | $4,000 - $8,000 | The tub, the door, removal of the old bathtub and the full fitting. |
| Hydrotherapy tub with jets | $6,000 - $12,000 | Water jets, warm air or both, with the pumps and controls they need. |
| Bariatric or wide-door tub | $7,000 - $14,000 | Wider seats and doors on a reinforced frame, sized at the assessment. |
| Removing the old bathtub alone | $450 - $1,200 | Folded into the lines above; priced apart only if you stop there. |
| Dedicated electrical circuit | $400 - $1,000 | Heated seats and pumps want their own breaker when the panel has no spare. |
| Walk-in tub and shower combo | $8,000 - $15,000 | One unit that soaks and showers, for households that want both. |
Your bathroom, your plumbing and the tub you choose set the final figure. That is exactly what the assessment is for.
| The feature | What it is | Why it counts |
|---|---|---|
| Low threshold | A step of about four inches into the tub | The climb over a bathtub wall is where most bathroom falls begin. Removing the climb removes the moment. |
| Seat at chair height | A molded seat near seventeen inches, like a dining chair | Sitting down and standing back up stay easy on knees and hips, with no lowering to the floor of a tub. |
| Grab bars where hands land | Fixed bars at the door and beside the seat | Balance never has to depend on a towel bar that was only ever meant to hold towels. |
| Textured floor and seat | Slip resistance molded into the tub surface itself | Wet feet keep their grip without rubber mats that curl, slide and grow things. |
| Anti-scald valve | A mixing valve that caps how hot water can arrive | Skin grows thinner with the years. The valve keeps a hot surprise from ever reaching it. |
You do sit in the tub while it fills, so the wait is real: usually a few minutes, depending on your water pressure and your heater. Many bathers spend it with the warm air running or the hand shower on their shoulders. At the assessment we run your own faucet and give you an honest minute count for your own bathroom, not a brochure number.
The door only opens once the water is gone, so the drain matters. Fast drain systems empty most tubs in about two minutes, and heated seats and warm air keep the chill away while they do. We will tell you plainly which tubs drain fastest on your plumbing around Angora.
The door seals the way a ship's hatch does: the water itself presses it shut, so a good seal gets tighter as the tub fills. Every tub we fit is filled to the brim and watched before we call the job finished, and the seal carries the maker's warranty. If it ever weeps, we come back, and the trip costs you nothing.
Nearly always, because walk-in tubs are designed to travel through ordinary hallways and door frames. We measure the whole route at the assessment, front porch to bathroom. If a doorway is genuinely too narrow, you hear it from us at your kitchen table, never on delivery day.
Yes, and it happens all the time. We can hold the assessment while you are there in person, on the phone or on a video call, and the written quote goes to whoever is helping with the decision. The walkthrough at the end is always done with the person who will actually bathe.
No. We measure, we listen, we leave a written price, and your house is your own again. Some families decide that week and some take a season. The figure holds as written, and nobody from our side will camp on your phone line.
