The Collinsville crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Madison 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.
Getting in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain as we get older or deal with mobility challenges.
This is why retrofitting your bathroom with a specialized, low-threshold bathing unit with a secure door makes absolute sense for your peace of mind.
Our local team specializes in helping you regain your freedom right at home with professional setup services tailored to your exact space.
Imagine never having to worry about slipping on wet tile again while trying to balance on one foot.
Which means you can finally look forward to a relaxing, warm soak without any of the anxiety that usually comes with it.
We travel straight to your house to look at your current setup and give you an estimate with zero pressure.
Getting this upgrade done right requires skilled hands because plumbing and water-tight seals are not things you want to mess up.
On top of that, a poorly fitted unit can cause massive leaks that ruin your subfloor and cost thousands to repair later.
That is why our friendly crew handles everything from taking out the old cast iron monster to hooking up the new fixtures perfectly.
Many homeowners worry that their entire bathroom will be torn apart for weeks during this kind of project.
Actually, our experienced installers can often complete the entire transformation in just one or two days.
This lets you get back to your normal daily routine quickly without living in a construction zone.
First, we carefully measure your doorway and the existing cavity to ensure the new high-walled, easy-access basin fits like a glove.
After that, we gently remove your old tub, taking great care not to damage your surrounding walls or flooring.
Then we inspect the exposed pipes to make sure your drainage and water supply lines are in top-notch shape before proceeding.
Next comes the precise task of leveling the new heavy-duty acrylic shell and securing it to your floor joists.
This step is incredibly important because a rock-solid foundation prevents the unit from shifting when it is filled with gallons of water.
Below is a quick guide to help you understand what we evaluate during our initial visit:
| Evaluation Step | What We Look For | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Space Dimensions | Width and depth of current footprint | Ensures a perfect fit without costly wall modifications |
| Plumbing Alignment | Drain location and pipe condition | Prevents leaks and ensures rapid water drainage |
| Electrical Access | Proximity to safe outlets for hydrotherapy features | Guarantees safe operation of air jets and heaters |
You might be tempted to watch a few online videos and try to tackle this project with a buddy over the weekend.
However, these specialized accessible basins are incredibly heavy and require advanced knowledge of both carpentry and advanced plumbing systems.
One small mistake with the heavy-duty door seal can lead to a slow leak behind your drywall that breeds nasty mold.
Our team brings specialized tools and years of hands-on experience to ensure your absolute satisfaction and safety.
Which means we guarantee a watertight barrier and perfect alignment so your investment lasts for decades to come.
We also make sure the grab bars are anchored directly into solid wall studs rather than just flimsy drywall.
This attention to detail ensures that when you pull yourself up, the bar will easily support your full body weight without budging.
Moreover, we understand how to configure the fast-drain technology so you do not have to sit shivering while waiting for the water to empty.
We want you to feel pampered and secure, enjoying a spa-like retreat in your own home.
Every person has different physical requirements, which is why these modern units come with so many customizable options.
For instance, you can choose heated seating surfaces that keep your back warm while the deep basin fills up with water.
This lets you soothe aching muscles and joints even before you are fully submerged.
You can also opt for therapeutic air jets that gently massage your legs and feet to improve circulation.
On top of that, handheld showerheads allow you to wash your hair easily while remaining safely seated on the comfortable, slip-resistant bench.
We will walk you through all these incredible choices during your home consultation.

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 Collinsville.
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.
