Getting in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a small mountain when your knees start acting up.
Fortunately, you can swap that old hazardous basin for a modern, leak-proof accessible bathing enclosure with a built-in seat and a low threshold door.
This smart home upgrade keeps you independent in your own house without those scary slips on wet tiles.
Choosing this type of specialized upgrade is a big step toward peace of mind for you and your family.
Our local team visits your home to measure your current space and help you select the perfect layout for your physical needs.
We offer an in-home consultation and detailed estimate so you can plan this project without any financial stress or guesswork.
Selecting the right setup involves looking at how you move and what brings you the most physical relief.
Many homeowners do not realize that these deep-soak units fit right into the exact footprint of their old standard tub.
Which means you will not have to rip out all your plumbing or knock down bathroom walls to make this change.
These specialized units come with various options designed to soothe sore muscles and make washing simple again.
The table below highlights some of the main features you can choose to include in your new setup.
| Feature | Daily Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-Step Entry | Eliminates the need to balance on one foot while stepping over a high barrier. |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Delivers a warm massage to soothe arthritic joints and improve your circulation. |
| Fast-Drain Technology | Empties the water quickly so you do not sit there shivering when you are done. |
| Contoured Seating | Allows you to sit comfortably at a natural height instead of struggling to get up from the floor. |
Every home layout presents different challenges, which is why we customize each project to match your specific bathroom floor plan.
Our skilled installers handle the heavy lifting, the disposal of your old fixture, and the precise sealing of your new setup.
This professional touch ensures that your subfloor stays dry and your new unit functions perfectly for years to come.
Stepping over a high porcelain ledge when your body is tired is a recipe for a bad fall.
By replacing that old barrier with a secure door, you regain your privacy and can wash yourself without needing a helper.
This simple change brings back your confidence and lets you enjoy a deep, warm soak whenever you want.
Our premium units feature thick acrylic shells that keep the water hot much longer than old cast-iron tubs.
This excellent heat retention lets you relax and enjoy a long soak without constantly adding more hot water.
On top of that, the non-porous surfaces resist mold and soap scum, making cleanup incredibly easy for you.
Safety accessories like heavy-duty grab bars and textured slip-resistant floors come standard with our installations.
These smart additions give you solid handholds as you sit down or stand up inside the enclosure.
You will feel completely secure during every step of your daily routine.
Our friendly crew respects your home and works fast to minimize the disruption to your daily life.
We start by carefully removing your old fixture and inspecting the underlying wooden structure for any hidden water damage.
This thorough check prevents future mold issues and ensures a solid foundation for your new, heavier soaking unit.
Once we verify the subfloor is strong, we run new plumbing lines to align perfectly with your chosen model.
This meticulous preparation guarantees that your new rapid-drain system and faucets work flawlessly from day one.
We then slide the unit into place, level it perfectly, and seal every single seam with commercial-grade waterproof silicone.
Before we pack up our tools, we run a full water test to ensure there are absolutely no leaks behind your walls.
We also show you exactly how to operate the door seal, the jets, and the hand-held shower wand.
You will know exactly how to use every feature before we leave your home clean and tidy.

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 Chanhassen.
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.
