We love helping our neighbors feel secure in their own homes again.
Our team comes straight to your door to measure your space and give you a clear plan.

These specialized units feature a leak-proof door on the side that allows you to step inside without lifting your legs over a high wall.
Consequently, you reduce the risk of losing your balance on wet tile floors.
It makes the whole experience of getting clean feel like a relaxing visit to a private spa.
Inside the unit, you will find a comfortable, built-in seat that is raised to chair height.
This clever design ensures that you do not have to struggle to stand up from a deep, low position.
Instead, you simply sit down, close the airtight door, and let the warm water fill up around you.
Additionally, we equip these systems with fast-draining technology so you do not sit there shivering when you are done.
This keeps you warm and happy because the water disappears in just a minute or two.
You simply open the door and step right back out onto your bath mat.
Choosing to upgrade your bathroom is not just about home improvement; it is about preserving your daily freedom.
For instance, you will no longer need to rely on family members or caregivers just to take a simple shower.
That peace of mind is truly priceless for both you and your loved ones.
Our premium units also come with therapeutic water jets that can soothe your aching muscles and joints.
Which means you get a gentle massage that helps relieve arthritis pain and improves your blood circulation.
It is like having a personal physical therapy session right in your own home.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we have laid out the key differences between standard setups and our specialized units below.
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Our Accessible System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 15 to 20 inches | Low threshold (under 5 inches) |
| Seating | Floor level (hard to rise) | Contoured, chair-height seat |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Grab bars, non-slip floor, leak-proof door |
Working with a contractor who knows the local area ensures that your plumbing lines match up perfectly with local building codes.
Since we serve a cozy community of 14,114 residents, we treat every customer like our next-door neighbor.
We take pride in our work and never cut corners on quality.
Whether your home is a classic build or a newer property, we know how to handle the unique quirks of Wisconsin plumbing.
This allows us to complete the project quickly and cleanly, often in just one or two days.
You will not have to deal with weeks of construction mess in your house.
Furthermore, we understand that every household budget is different, especially in areas where median household income varies.
That is why we offer transparent pricing and help you find the perfect fit for your wallet.
Our goal is to deliver ultimate luxury and safety without draining your hard-earned savings.
First, we carefully remove your old, outdated tub and inspect the underlying floorboards for any hidden water damage.
This ensures that your new system sits on a rock-solid, mold-free foundation.
We fix any issues immediately so your bathroom remains healthy for decades to come.
Next, we run new plumbing lines and align the drains to match the high-capacity flow of your new system.
This step is crucial because it prevents leaks and guarantees that your water warms up quickly.
Our skilled technicians handle this complex work with absolute precision.
Finally, we slide the new unit into place, seal all the edges with commercial-grade silicone, and test every single seal.
This guarantee of quality means you will never have to worry about water pooling on your floorboards.
We clean up every speck of dust before we leave your home.
Every unit we install comes with strategically placed, heavy-duty grab bars that give you a solid grip at all times.
This lets you steady yourself as you sit down or stand up, even when your hands are soapy.
You will feel totally secure throughout your entire bath.
On top of that, the floor of the unit features a textured, non-slip surface that prevents your feet from sliding.
This is a massive upgrade over slippery acrylic tubs that feel like ice rinks.
You can step inside with absolute confidence every single day.
We also install ADA-compliant faucets that are incredibly easy to turn, even for those with limited hand strength.
Which means you will not have to struggle with stiff knobs just to get the water temperature right.
Everything is designed to make your life simpler and more relaxing.
Depending on your needs, you might want a compact model that fits into a tight shower stall space.
Alternatively, you might prefer a larger, deeper model that allows for a full-body soak.
We sit down with you to look at your bathroom layout and discuss what works best.
Some models focus on air jets that create a gentle, effervescent bubble bath experience.
Meanwhile, others feature high-pressure water jets designed to target deep muscle tension in your back and legs.
We help you weigh these options so you get exactly what your body needs.
Another important detail to consider is the door swing, which can open either inward or outward.
An outward-opening door makes it much easier to exit in an emergency but requires more floor space.
We will help you measure your clearance to make sure the door swings freely without hitting your vanity.
To help you make an informed decision, we want to be completely upfront about how these systems work.
On the plus side, you get unmatched safety, incredible pain relief, and a beautiful upgrade that boosts your home value.
It is a smart investment in your future health and happiness.
On the downside, you do have to sit inside the unit while it fills up and drains out.
This is why we install high-speed valves and heated backrests to keep you cozy during those short waiting periods.
We want to make sure you know exactly what to expect so there are no surprises.
Ultimately, the safety benefits far outweigh the minor wait times for the water to move.
Preventing a single bad fall can save you thousands of dollars in medical bills and keep you out of a nursing home.
It is all about keeping you in the home you love for as long as possible.
Now is the perfect time to stop worrying about bathroom slips and start enjoying a safer, more relaxing daily routine.

We look forward to helping you stay safe, comfortable, and independent in your home!
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 Darboy.
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.
