A safe bath in Country Club Gardens begins with a sealed door and a four inch step. The New Orleans crew nearby sees the whole change through in days.
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.
You probably never thought much about getting in and out of your bath until it started feeling like a daily obstacle course. Suddenly that high porcelain ledge looks more like a mountain than a simple partition. By choosing a custom accessibility upgrade for your bathroom you can reclaim your independence and enjoy hot baths without the fear of slipping.
This handy upgrade replaces your old dangerous basin with a secure low-threshold unit that lets you just walk right in. Which means you get to sit down on a built-in seat and let the warm water rise around you instead of balancing on one wet foot. It is honestly a total game-changer for anyone who wants to stay in their beloved home forever.
Because we believe everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home we offer a completely free in-home assessment to look at your layout. During this visit our friendly crew will measure your space and show you how a modern sealed-barrier bath fits perfectly where your old tub sits today. You do not have to guess about the price or the process anymore because we lay it all out for you on paper.
If you are wondering how these watertight units actually work the secret lies in the heavy-duty pressure seal on the swinging door. When you close the latch it creates an absolute vacuum-tight barrier that prevents even a single drop of water from leaking onto your bathroom floor. Consequently you can fill the basin up to your chest and soak away those stubborn backaches with total peace of mind.
To help you compare the main differences between standard setups and these specialized safety basins we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Standard Bath Units | Our Accessible Sealed-Door Units |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Threshold Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches high | Ultra-low 3 to 5 inches only |
| Seating Option | Lying flat on the cold floor | Contoured raised chair-height seat |
| Safety Grab Bars | None built-in (must drill walls) | Fully integrated heavy-duty bars |
| Drainage Speed | Slow gravity drain (takes forever) | Powered fast-drain assist systems |
On top of the leak-proof door these advanced soaking systems feature contoured built-in seating that supports your back at a natural upright angle. This design choice means you do not have to struggle to hoist yourself up from the floor of the tub when you are done. Instead you simply open the fast-drain valve and step out just like you are walking out of a room.
Now you might think your current bathroom is too small or awkwardly shaped for such a spacious system. However our versatile units come in many different dimensions designed to slide right into the exact footprint of a standard five-foot alcove. This smart sizing keeps your remodeling costs down because we do not have to tear down your structural walls to complete the job.
Living down here in this beautiful historic pocket of the Crescent City means dealing with unique local plumbing quirks and older home construction. Since our neighborhood sits right near the bustling Metairie border in a quiet residential zone of Orleans Parish we know exactly how these older houses behave. We handle the tricky task of adapting modern fixtures to vintage pipes without breaking your budget.
This specific corner of Louisiana is famous for its gorgeous mature trees and classic Southern charm where neighbors truly look out for one another. Whether you live near the golf course paths or closer to the main thoroughfares we bring our mobile workshop right to your driveway. We treat your home with the utmost respect and leave the work area sparkling clean when we finish.
Since we operate right here in this specific ZIP code 70124 area we can arrive at your doorstep quickly to provide your free quote. Our team understands the local water pressure levels and the municipal building codes inside out. This local familiarity ensures your new system drains rapidly and complies with every single safety standard in the state.
Aside from the obvious safety benefits these modern units offer incredible hydrotherapy options that feel like a private spa. You can choose models equipped with gentle air jets that massage your tired legs and improve circulation after a long day of walking. This targeted massage action helps soothe arthritis pain and relaxes stiff muscles before you head to bed.
Another amazing feature is the quick-drain technology that sucks the water out of the basin in under two minutes flat. This rapid drain system is crucial because you must sit inside the unit while it empties before you can safely open the door. Thanks to this fast-acting pump you will not sit there shivering while waiting for the water to disappear.
To make things even better the acrylic surfaces are treated with special antimicrobial coatings that resist mold and soap scum buildup. This non-porous material makes cleaning a breeze since you only need to wipe it down with a soft cloth. You can finally say goodbye to scrubbing grout lines on your hands and knees ever again.
First our skilled technicians carefully protect your floors with heavy drop cloths before bringing any tools into your house. Next we gently dismantle your old heavy cast-iron or fiberglass tub and haul it away so you do not have to worry about disposal. This part of the job can be loud but we work fast to minimize the disruption to your morning routine.
Following the demolition we inspect your subfloor and the underlying wooden joists for any hidden water damage or rot. If we find soft spots we repair them immediately to ensure your new heavy-duty soaking basin has a rock-solid foundation. This step is absolutely critical because a full tub of water weighs a significant amount and needs proper structural support.
After leveling the base we run new heavy-duty copper lines to connect your high-flow faucet and hand-held shower wand. We then seal the outer edges with premium waterproof silicone that prevents any moisture from sneaking behind your new wall surrounds. Finally we run a complete wet-test of the system to verify that every single jet and seal works flawlessly.
Perhaps you are worried about the overall cost of making this vital transition in your home. This is precisely why we provide a detailed written estimate completely free of charge with zero pressure to make a decision on the spot. We walk you through every option so you can find a configuration that fits your personal budget and physical needs perfectly.
Investing in your safety today prevents costly hospital bills later and gives your worried family members true peace of mind. You will feel a wonderful sense of relief knowing you can bathe in private whenever you want without needing anyone to assist you. It is all about preserving your dignity and enjoying your golden years in the cozy home you worked so hard to build.

We will schedule a convenient time to visit your home measure your bathroom and give you a free accurate quote. Let us help you transform your bathroom into a secure haven where you can relax and soak away your worries safely.
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 Country Club Gardens.
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.
