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 you get older.
Because of this struggle, many folks find themselves slipping or feeling anxious during their daily shower routine.
Fortunately, we can swap your old high-walled basin for a secure, low-threshold bathing system that keeps you safe.
Imagine stepping over a tiny barrier that is only a few inches high instead of balancing on one leg.
This simple change removes the fear of falling on slippery wet tiles.
Additionally, you get to enjoy a deep soak without worrying about how you will stand back up when you are done.
Our team travels right to your home to look at your existing setup and figure out the best fit.
Since every bathroom layout is a bit unique, we need to see the space in person to give you an accurate price.
You can request a free estimate today to get started on your hassle-free bathroom upgrade.
These specialized units feature a leak-proof door built directly into the side of the heavy-duty acrylic shell.
Once you step inside and close the latch, the pressure-sealed door creates a watertight barrier that keeps your floor dry.
After that, you simply sit down on the raised, built-in bench and turn on the warm water faucets.
To give you a better idea of what makes these units so special, let us look at some of the standard features.
These options dramatically improve your daily routine.
| Feature | Concrete Benefit For You |
|---|---|
| Low step-in threshold | Minimizes trip hazards so you step in with total confidence. |
| Contoured heated seat | Keeps your body warm as the water fills up and drains out. |
| Rapid drain technology | Speeds up the emptying process so you do not sit there shivering. |
| Sturdy grab bars | Provides solid handholds to assist your balance at all times. |
Now, you might wonder about the actual installation process and if it tears up your house for weeks.
Actually, our experienced crew usually completes the swap in just one or two days.
We carefully remove your old tub, update the underlying plumbing lines, and slide the new unit perfectly into place.
Different homes require different solutions, which is why we offer several sizes and configurations.
For example, some models focus purely on deep soaking, while others feature soothing water jets to massage sore muscles.
Choosing the right one depends on your personal mobility needs and what fits your budget.
If you suffer from arthritis or stiff joints, the hydrotherapy jets can make a world of difference.
These warm streams of water target your lower back and legs to relieve tension.
Consequently, you wake up feeling much more flexible and ready to tackle your day.
We also pay close attention to the spatial layout of your current washroom.
Because space is often tight, we make sure the door swing does not hit your vanity or toilet.
This careful planning guarantees that your new setup offers maximum convenience and effortless entry.
Beyond the low entry door, these units incorporate slip-resistant floors that grip your feet even when soapy.
This textured surface prevents your feet from sliding out from under you.
On top of that, the heavy-duty grab bars are anchored directly into the frame for rock-solid stability.
Another crucial element is the anti-scald thermostatic control valve.
This device prevents sudden bursts of freezing or boiling water when someone else flushes a toilet.
Thus, you always enjoy a perfectly tempered bath without any unpleasant surprises.
Finally, we install ozone sterilization systems in our jetted models to keep the internal pipes clean.
This self-cleaning cycle prevents mold and bacteria from growing inside the hidden water lines.
As a result, you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time relaxing.
First, our team protects your floors with heavy drop cloths before we carry any tools inside.
This step keeps your carpets and hardwoods clean and free of scratches.
We then carefully dismantle your old cast iron or fiberglass basin without damaging the surrounding walls.
Next, we inspect the subfloor for any hidden water damage or rot that needs fixing.
Addressing these structural issues now prevents expensive headaches down the road.
Once the foundation is solid, we upgrade the drain pipes to match the high-capacity drainage systems.
Lastly, we hook up the electrical components for the heated surfaces and water pumps.
We test every single seal and connection multiple times to ensure there are zero leaks.
This rigorous quality check means you can use your new bath with absolute confidence.

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 Clay.
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.
