Do you struggle with high tub walls every single morning? Well this local home upgrade gives you safety and peace of mind. Let us help you figure out this awesome project today.
Many homeowners face daily challenges when getting clean in standard tubs. Luckily our specialized local team fixes this exact problem for you. This means you enjoy complete security without risking dangerous slips.
Furthermore the local population here reaches about nine thousand residents. Birch Bay homeowners deserve top quality bath modifications that last forever. Consequently you gain absolute serenity during your daily hygiene routine.
Most households around Whatcom County deal with outdated bathroom layouts. Therefore swapping that old porcelain basin is a very smart move. This lets you step right through a low threshold without lifting your legs high.
Take a look at how this local project compares to standard setups.
| Feature | Old Tub Setup | New Low Threshold Unit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step height | High and risky | Ultra low and safe | |
| Seating | None | Built in contoured seat | |
| Grab bars | Flimsy suction cups | Secure bolted steel | |
| Water depth | Shallow | Deep soaking capability |
When considering upgrades you might worry about the initial project expenses. Yet the median household income in this specific area sits around sixty three thousand dollars. Because of that we keep our pricing fair and totally transparent for everyone.
Admittedly custom bathroom modifications require a dedicated financial investment upfront. However Birch Bay residents often see a great boost in home value later. This means your property becomes much more attractive to future buyers down the road.
Beyond resale value you save money on potential hospital bills from bathroom falls. Naturally avoiding severe injuries protects your hard earned savings over the long haul. That is why investing in home safety pays off so quickly.
Every household has unique requirements for daily personal hygiene routines. Luckily our custom service lets you pick hydrotherapy jets and heated seats. This ensures your soaking experience feels like a luxury spa getaway every single time.
Additionally quick drain technology empties the basin in mere minutes. Consequently you never sit shivering while waiting for the water to recede completely. This thoughtful engineering detail maximizes your overall coziness during chilly Pacific Northwest evenings.
Besides quick draining systems the watertight door seal guarantees zero leaks. Therefore your bathroom floor stays bone dry and safe from water damage. This particular feature protects your subflooring from costly rot issues over time.
Starting a major home renovation project can feel quite overwhelming at first. Fortunately our experienced technicians handle the entire heavy lifting from start to finish. This gives you total relaxation while skilled hands do the hard labor.
First we remove your bulky old porcelain shell with minimal disruption. Afterwards our crew modifies the plumbing to fit your fresh basin precisely. This guarantees proper water flow and prevents any annoying drainage surprises later.
Most jobs wrap up in just a single day of active work. Consequently you avoid weeks of messy construction zones inside your private living space. That speed allows you to resume your normal routine almost immediately.
Some folks worry that filling such a large vessel takes forever. Yet modern plumbing upgrades bring in high flow faucets that fill the basin rapidly. This means you spend less time waiting and more time relaxing in the warm water.
Another common worry involves cleaning the interior surfaces after each use. Fortunately antimicrobial gel coats prevent soap scum and mold from sticking around. Therefore wiping down the walls requires minimal effort on your part.
Plus the textured flooring stops your feet from sliding around dangerously. Because of that you stand up or sit down with complete confidence. Safety truly guides every single design choice we offer local clients.

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 Birch Bay.
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.
