The Conway crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Horry 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.
If you feel anxious every time you step over that high slippery ledge of your standard bath you are definitely not alone. Many folks in our historic river town face this exact daily struggle and worry about losing their independence at home. Fortunately we can help you swap that dangerous obstacle for a secure leak-free swinging door unit that lets you bathe without any fear.
By choosing a low-threshold barrier-free setup you immediately protect yourself from nasty slips and painful falls. This simple change allows you to stay in the home you love for many years to come. Our local crew handles everything from start to finish so you can finally relax and enjoy a peaceful warm soak once again.
To make things even easier we will happily drive out to your place and give you a complete price estimate without charging you a single dime. This assessment gives you all the details you need to make the right choice for your budget and your house. Let us take care of the heavy lifting while you focus on reclaiming your peace of mind.
Choosing the perfect system requires looking at how you move and what your body needs to feel secure. For starters some folks prefer a wide outward-swinging door because it gives your legs maximum clearance when you sit down. On the other hand an inward-swinging door keeps the bathroom footprint tight which is perfect for cozy spaces.
To help you compare the different styles we put together a handy guide below.
| Door Type | Best For | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Inward Opening | Smaller Bathrooms | Saves precious floor space |
| Outward Opening | Wheelchair Transfers | Easiest entry and exit path |
| Slide-In / L-Shape | Limited Mobility | Direct seat access from a chair |
Besides the door style you should also think about safety accessories like built-in heated seating and quick-drain technology. These smart upgrades ensure you do not sit shivering in cold water while the tub empties out. Which means your daily routine becomes a luxurious spa experience rather than a stressful chore.
Now let us talk about the actual structure of these units because materials matter a lot for durability. High-quality acrylic shells resist scratches and keep the water hot much longer than cheap fiberglass alternatives. This premium insulation lets you enjoy your deep soak without constantly adding more warm water.
You might worry that modifying your plumbing will turn your home into a messy construction zone for weeks. Actually our experienced team usually finishes the entire swap in just one or two days without disrupting your life. We take great pride in keeping our workspace tidy and respecting your living area.
However we always like to be completely honest about the potential challenges of this project. For instance older homes around the Waccamaw River often have narrow doorways that require extra care during the delivery phase. Sometimes we have to temporarily remove a door frame to slide the new heavy unit inside safely.
On top of that your current water heater needs to hold enough gallons to fill a much deeper basin. If your existing tank is too small you might run out of hot water before the tub fills up. To prevent this cold surprise we always inspect your utility closet first and suggest practical solutions beforehand.
Trying to hook up a complex hydrotherapy unit by yourself often leads to costly water damage and major headaches. Since these specialty fixtures require precise leveling and heavy-duty silicone seals any tiny mistake can ruin your subfloor. Hiring a seasoned installer guarantees a watertight fit that keeps your home safe from hidden mold.
This professional touch also ensures your electrical hookups for the air jets meet strict local building codes. Because water and electricity never mix you definitely want a licensed hand running those dedicated lines. Our careful attention to detail protects your warranty and gives you total confidence in your new setup.
Furthermore we understand the unique layout of houses in Horry County and how our local humidity affects bathroom ventilation. We make sure your new system integrates perfectly with your existing walls and flooring. This seamless look adds real value to your property while providing unmatched comfort.
Many homeowners wonder if they can afford such a significant upgrade on a fixed retirement income. Given that the median household income in our area sits around $39,957 we always strive to keep our pricing fair and transparent. We believe everyone deserves a safe place to wash without breaking the bank.
When you consider the high cost of assisted living facilities this upgrade quickly pays for itself. Staying in your familiar neighborhood with a population of 22,661 is much cheaper than moving into a care home. Investing in home safety now saves you from massive medical bills down the road.
To help you plan your budget we offer clear detailed estimates with absolutely no hidden fees or surprise costs. We walk you through the pricing line by line so you know exactly where your hard-earned money goes. This honest approach has made us a trusted favorite across ZIP codes like 29526, 29527, and 29528.
Imagine coming home after a long day and letting warm massaging bubbles soothe your aching muscles and stiff joints. These specialized deep-soaking basins let you submerge your torso fully while sitting upright on a slip-resistant molded bench. This upright posture keeps you safe while the water pressure gently reduces swelling in your legs.
Additionally grab bars placed at strategic angles give you sturdy leverage when standing up or sitting down. You will no longer have to pull yourself up using flimsy towel racks or slippery sink edges. This robust support system makes independent bathing a breeze even on your stiffest mornings.
This newfound freedom also brings immense relief to your family members who worry about your safety. They can rest easy knowing you are enjoying a secure relaxing bath without any risk of falling. It is amazing how one home improvement project can bring so much relief to an entire household.
Taking the first step toward a safer bathroom is much easier than you think. All you have to do is reach out to us and request an on-site visit from one of our friendly technicians. We will measure your space, answer your questions, and leave you with a precise written quote.
Remember that this consultation carries absolutely no obligation to buy. We want you to feel comfortable with your decision and move at your own pace. Contact us today so we can help you turn your bathroom into a secure haven of relaxation!
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 Conway.
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.
