Getting in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a small mountain when your joints start aching. Fortunately, we can help you regain your independence with a specialized bathing setup designed for easy access. Our team visits your home to assess your bathroom and provide a complete plan to make your daily routine stress-free.
This layout change prevents slips while keeping you independent. By choosing a low-threshold entrance, you eliminate the risk of tripping over high tub walls. You get to enjoy a relaxing soak without the anxiety of losing your footing.
Actually, many homeowners worry about the mess of remodeling. We handle the dirty work quickly so you can focus on picking your favorite features. Let us take care of the heavy lifting and give you peace of mind.
These advanced deep-soaking units feature a leak-proof door that allows you to step right inside without lifting your legs high. Since the door seals tight, you can fill the basin with warm water while sitting safely on a raised bench. This design keeps you upright and secure throughout your entire wash.
Because safety matters most, every unit we install comes equipped with built-in grab bars and slip-resistant floors. These essential features give you extra leverage when standing up or sitting down. You do not have to worry about slick surfaces causing a sudden fall.
On top of that, these sealed systems drain incredibly fast using specialized dual-drain technology. This means you will not sit shivering while waiting for the water to empty out. You simply open the door and step out onto your bath mat when you are done.
Investing in a secure, accessible tub allows you to stay in your beloved home much longer as you age. Moving to an assisted living facility is incredibly expensive and stressful for anyone. Our durable bathing systems offer a practical alternative that preserves your freedom and saves your hard-earned savings.
To help you compare your options, we created a handy breakdown of how these secure fixtures stack up against old-fashioned tubs.
| Feature | Standard Tub | Accessible Sealed Tub |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 15 to 18 inches | Low 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating Area | Floor level (hard to stand) | Contoured raised chair-height seat |
| Safety Elements | None built-in | Integrated grab bars and textured floors |
Naturally, having a raised seat also relieves pressure on your aching knees and hips. You can submerge your upper body in warm water without struggling to get back up. It turns a chore into a relaxing, therapeutic escape.
Besides the physical relief, this upgrade actually boosts the overall value of your property. Buyers love seeing modern safety upgrades already completed. This means you are making a smart financial decision for your future house value.

First, we begin with a friendly, detailed assessment of your existing bathroom space to see what fits. We measure your doorways and plumbing lines to make sure everything aligns perfectly. This step ensures we do not run into any nasty surprises during the actual setup.
Next, we carefully remove your old, heavy cast-iron or fiberglass tub without damaging your walls. Our crew keeps the work area clean, disposing of the old materials so you do not have to. We treat your property with the utmost care, sweeping up every speck of dust before we leave.
After that, we run new plumbing connections and position your new high-sided secure tub. We level the unit precisely to ensure the door seals perfectly and the drains work flawlessly. This precise calibration prevents any future leaks from damaging your bathroom subfloor.
Many homeowners opt for hydrotherapy jets that target sore muscles and stiff joints with warm water. These adjustable jets massage your lower back, legs, and feet to relieve chronic pain. It feels like having a private spa right in your own home.
Another fantastic option is inline water heaters that maintain a constant, cozy temperature as long as you want. You never have to worry about the water turning cold before you finish relaxing. This allows for longer, more peaceful soaking sessions whenever you need them.
Moreover, hand-held shower wand attachments let you wash your hair and rinse off with absolute ease. You can control the water flow exactly where you want it while staying seated. This simple addition makes bathing a breeze from start to finish.

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 Coulter.
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.
