The Corunna crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over DeKalb 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.
Slips and falls on wet tiles can turn a relaxing evening into a scary trip to the hospital.
Fortunately, you can easily transform your bathing area into a secure sanctuary.
Our local crew specializes in setting up these specialized high-walled bathing units with built-in doors so you can stay safe at home.
Imagine never having to take that scary, high step over a slippery porcelain barrier again.
Instead, you simply open a leak-proof door, step right inside, and sit down on a comfortable raised seat.
This smart setup lets you enjoy a deep, warm soak without any of the usual anxiety or physical strain.
Getting your independence back is a massive relief for both you and your worried family members.
Indeed, making this simple home upgrade protects your freedom and lets you age in place with dignity.
We are ready to visit your home and give you a completely free estimate on the project.
Many folks worry about how a door on the side of a deep basin can actually hold back dozens of gallons of water.
To solve this, manufacturers use heavy-duty silicone seals that become completely watertight when you lock the handle.
This clever design ensures that not a single drop of moisture leaks onto your bathroom floor during your bath.
Because you must enter the unit before filling it, fast-acting plumbing fixtures are absolutely essential.
For this reason, our team installs high-flow faucets alongside dual-drain technology to speed up the entire process.
You will not have to sit there shivering while waiting for the basin to empty out after your soak.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we put together a quick comparison of standard setups versus these accessible models.
| Feature | Standard Apron Basin | Accessible Entry Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-Over Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low 3 to 6 inches |
| Seating Area | Flat floor of the basin | Contoured, ADA-compliant bench seat |
| Water Depth | Shallow (usually under 12 inches) | Deep soaking (up to 30 inches) |
| Safety Bars | Must be bolted to walls separately | Fully integrated into the fiberglass shell |
Trying to hook up one of these heavy, complex units by yourself usually leads to major plumbing headaches.
First of all, you have to precisely align the drain lines with your existing subfloor openings.
Any slight mistake during this phase can trap moisture under your floorboards and cause expensive wood rot later on.
Besides the plumbing, the electrical requirements for heated seats or air jets require a very steady, practiced hand.
Our seasoned technicians know how to safely run dedicated circuits that meet every single local building code.
This careful attention to detail keeps your home safe from electrical hazards and water damage.
On top of that, we always haul away your old, heavy cast-iron basin at no extra charge.
This means you do not have to worry about breaking your back or renting a dumpster for debris.
We take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on planning your first relaxing soak.
Every body is different, which is why we offer several different shapes and sizes of these accessible vessels.
For example, some models feature wider doors for individuals who require extra room to transfer from a wheelchair.
Other compact units fit perfectly into the exact footprint of a standard five-foot alcove setup.
To make the experience even better, you can choose to add soothing hydrotherapy jets to target your sore muscles.
These warm water streams gently massage your lower back, hips, and calves to relieve arthritis pain.
This turns a basic daily chore into a luxury spa experience right in your own home.
Of course, we also install sturdy grab bars exactly where your hands naturally reach for support.
This placement ensures you always maintain your balance while standing up or sitting down.
You get a custom-tailored layout that matches your mobility level perfectly.
When you contact us, we do not just send a salesperson with a glossy catalog to pressure you.
Instead, a friendly technician will visit your property to measure your doorways and inspect your current plumbing.
This thorough check ensures we quote you an accurate price without any hidden fees down the road.
We take time to understand your budget and answer every single question you have about the process.
Because we live and work nearby, we care deeply about helping our neighbors find real, lasting solutions.
You will get an honest assessment and a detailed plan that fits your household income.
We serve a charming DeKalb County community of about 240 residents where the median household income sits around $37,000.
If you live in the 46730 ZIP code area, we can easily drive right out to your property.
Our team takes great pride in helping homeowners in this quiet corner of Indiana upgrade their daily lives.
Some folks hesitate because retrofitting a bathroom requires a bit of an upfront financial commitment.
However, you must compare this cost to the astronomical expense of assisted living facilities or nursing home care.
Staying in your beloved home is much cheaper and infinitely more cozy over the long run.
Furthermore, adding high-quality accessibility features can actually boost the overall value of your property.
Future buyers will appreciate the built-in safety measures, especially as the general population continues to age.
You are making a smart investment in your real estate as well as your personal physical health.
To help you make an informed decision, we provide completely transparent pricing on every single estimate.
We explain the cost of labor, materials, and permit fees so you know exactly where your hard-earned money goes.
There are never any surprise charges or high-pressure sales tactics when you work with us.
Keeping your new acrylic or fiberglass basin sparkling clean is actually much easier than scrubbing an old porcelain unit.
Because the non-porous surfaces naturally resist mold and mildew growth, you only need a gentle wipe-down.
This means you can skip the harsh, toxic chemicals that irritate your lungs and eyes.
We recommend using a mild, non-abrasive liquid soap and a soft microfiber cloth after each use.
This quick habit prevents soap scum from building up on the door seal and keeps the acrylic shining.
You will spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying the warmth of your deep-soaking unit.
Once a year, we suggest inspecting the rubber door gasket to ensure it remains pliable and clean.
Our team is always available to perform quick tune-ups or help you with any future maintenance needs.
We stand behind our work long after the initial setup is complete.
You do not have to live with the daily fear of slipping and hurting yourself in your own bathroom.
Our dedicated crew is ready to help you reclaim your independence with a beautiful, secure bathing system.
We handle everything from the initial measurements to the final cleanup with absolute respect for your home.
Please reach out to us today to schedule your completely free, no-obligation home assessment.
We will sit down with you, look at your space, and find the perfect model for your specific needs.
Let us help you make your home a safer, more comfortable place to live for many years to come.
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 Corunna.
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.
