The Askewville crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Bertie 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.
Every single day we hear about someone slipping on a wet bathroom floor or struggling to climb over those high sides of a standard bath.
Naturally you want to keep your independence while enjoying a deep, warm soak without any of those scary slip hazards.
Our team of friendly professionals travels right to your home in Bertie County to give you a totally free, no-pressure estimate for upgrading your bathing space.
Actually, upgrading your bathroom setup with a low-step entry door is the ultimate way to stay safe while keeping your daily routine private.
This means you can say goodbye to those awkward balancing acts on slick tiles.
By choosing a specialized airtight swing-door bath, you invest in your long-term safety and peace of mind.
Moreover, modern water-tight accessible basins come packed with incredible features like built-in grab bars and contoured seating.
These smart additions let you relax completely instead of worrying about how you will stand back up.
Our local crew makes the entire transition quick and stress-free for your household.
If you think about the way traditional deep basins are built, they just are not designed for easy access as we get older.
Because of this, many homeowners choose to replace their old setups with a modern, leak-proof door-entry model.
This clever design lets you step right inside through a secure gate that sits mere inches off the floor.
Once you close the heavy-duty door seal, you simply fill the basin with warm water and enjoy a deep, soothing soak.
To make this work perfectly, our skilled installers must carefully align the new unit with your existing plumbing lines.
This careful process prevents leaks and ensures the fast-drain system empties the water quickly so you can exit without waiting in the cold.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we put together a simple comparison of how these safe-access units compare to old-fashioned tubs:
| Feature | Old-Style Standard Tub | Our Safe Entry Models |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low 3 to 6 inches |
| Seating | Flat floor (hard to get up) | Contoured, ADA-compliant seat |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Grab bars and non-slip floors |
First of all, we need to inspect your current bathroom layout to see how your pipes run.
This initial visit lets us measure the doorways and ensure the new slip-resistant unit fits through your halls.
You will get a clear picture of what needs to happen before we turn a single wrench.
After we agree on the plan, our technicians carefully remove your old cast iron or acrylic basin.
Next, we inspect the subfloor for any hidden water damage or mold that might have gathered over the years.
Fixing these hidden issues right away ensures your new setup rests on a rock-solid foundation.
Following that step, we connect the advanced heated water jets and the high-speed dual drain lines.
We test every single seal multiple times because we absolutely refuse to leave you with a messy drip.
This meticulous attention to detail is why our local neighbors trust us with their homes.
Indeed, everyone has different physical needs and design preferences when it comes to their private washroom.
For instance, you might prefer a compact model that fits into a tight corner, or maybe a wider bariatric model for extra room.
We offer a wide variety of styles with outward or inward-swinging doors to match your specific layout.
On top of that, many models feature therapeutic air pumps that massage tired muscles and joints.
This gentle water movement helps soothe daily aches while you sit comfortably on the slip-proof bench.
You deserve to feel like you have a private spa right down the hall.
Additionally, you can choose from different faucet finishes and handheld shower wand placements.
These customizable options give you total control over how you bathe.
We help you pick the perfect combination during our free on-site consultation.

Fortunately, our experienced crew usually completes the entire teardown and setup process in just a couple of days.
This quick turnaround means minimal disruption to your daily life and routine.
Another common question we get is whether these heavy-duty doors will eventually start to leak on your floor.
Which is why we only install top-tier units with lifetime-guaranteed silicone pressure seals.
The weight of the water actually helps press the door closed, creating a completely impervious barrier.
To help you understand the overall investment, here is a quick look at the factors that affect the final cost:
| Factor | What It Includes | Impact on Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Unit Type | Basic soaking vs. hydrotherapy jets | Moderate to High |
| Plumbing State | Moving old pipes or upgrading drains | Low to Moderate |
| Electrical Work | Adding dedicated lines for heated pumps | Low |
Think of the incredible feeling of stepping into a warm bath without any fear of falling.
This simple change brings back the joy of bathing and gives your worried family members true peace of mind.
You can stay in the home you love for many years to come without relying on outside help.
Furthermore, these high-walled units can actually increase the overall value of your property.
As more buyers look for accessible homes, having a modern safe-step wash space is a huge selling point.
It is a smart investment that pays off in both daily wellness and future equity.

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 Askewville.
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.
