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.
Taking a bath should feel like a relaxing escape rather than a stressful obstacle course.
If you find yourself worrying about slippery porcelain and high steps, you are definitely not alone in this struggle.

Fortunately, our local team specializes in transforming standard bathrooms into accessible havens of pure relaxation.
We travel right to your doorstep to assess your space and provide a detailed, zero-obligation price estimate.
Which means you can finally stop stressing about slips and start looking forward to your daily soak.
Our beautiful northern Wisconsin region, famous for its stunning Lake Superior shoreline and cozy small-town charm, is home to about fifteen thousand friendly souls.
Living in this peaceful corner of the state means we value our independence and our gorgeous properties.
On top of that, maintaining your self-reliance in your own house is priceless as the years roll by.
Many homeowners do not realize how simple it is to swap an old, dangerous basin for a secure modern model.
These specialized units feature a leak-proof door that swings open so you can just walk right inside.
This genius design eliminates the need to hoist your legs over a high, slippery barrier altogether.
To help you understand the differences, we should look at the typical options available.
Each style offers unique advantages depending on what your body needs most during bath time.
Let us compare the main styles we install for local homeowners:
| System Type | Key Feature | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Soaker Model | Deep water depth | Warm chest-high water tension relief |
| Hydrotherapy Jet System | Adjustable water massage jets | Soothing relief for sore muscles and joints |
| Air Jet System | Gentle bubbling action | Soft skin stimulation and total relaxation |
Choosing the right setup depends heavily on your physical goals and your current bathroom layout.
Because we want you to make the absolute best choice, we walk you through every single feature.
This personalized approach ensures you never pay for bells and whistles you do not actually need.
Plumbing projects in older homes can get pretty tricky real fast, especially around our scenic lakeside communities.
You might run into outdated pipes, uneven subfloors, or tight doorways that require a skilled touch to navigate.
Our crew knows how to handle these exact issues without breaking a sweat.
Proper drainage is another critical factor that amateur handymen often overlook when setting up these deep basins.
Because these units hold a massive volume of water, you need a heavy-duty fast-drain system installed.
Otherwise, you will sit there shivering for ten minutes waiting for the water to empty out before you can open the door.
We take great pride in sealing every corner with commercial-grade waterproof barriers to prevent hidden mold growth.
Which means your home stays safe from structural water damage and nasty rot for decades.
We treat your property with the exact same respect we would show to our own grandmother's house.
No one wants a flooded bathroom floor because of a cheap door gasket that failed after a month.
That is why we only utilize units featuring lifetime-guaranteed pressure seals that lock tight under water pressure.
This heavy-duty locking mechanism prevents a single drop of water from escaping onto your drywall.
Actually, the weight of the water itself helps press the door seal even tighter against the frame.
This clever engineering ensures total peace of mind while you enjoy a deep, warm, therapeutic soak.
You can just lean back, turn on the bubbles, and let your daily worries melt away.
Slipping on wet tile is one of the leading causes of emergency room visits for folks living independently.
By adding built-in grab bars and slip-resistant textured flooring, we virtually eliminate those scary moments.
This added protection lets you bathe with complete confidence, even when you are home alone.
Another incredible feature is the contoured, ADA-compliant heated seating that keeps your upper body warm while the basin fills.
Since you have to sit inside the unit while it fills up, this heated seat prevents you from catching a chill.
It feels like a warm hug on those freezing winter mornings we get up here in the Northwoods.

If your current water heater is small or outdated, you might run out of warm water before the basin is full.

Sometimes, we recommend adding a modern tankless booster or upgrading your existing tank to handle the new demand.
This simple adjustment guarantees you always have an endless supply of piping hot water for your daily spa experience.

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.
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.
