The Fearrington Village crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Chatham 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.
Getting in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain as the years slip by.
Fortunately, you can swap that old high-walled basin for a modern, low-threshold alternative that keeps you safe.
This smart upgrade lets you regain your independence without any fear of slipping on wet porcelain.
Choosing a professional setup guarantees a leak-free experience and absolute peace of mind.
Our team specializes in retrofitting bathrooms to create a secure, spa-like environment in your own home.
You deserve a stress-free space where you can unwind and wash away the day with ease.
Every home has different plumbing layouts and space constraints that require a personalized approach.
Because of this, we provide an in-home consultation to evaluate your bathroom and discuss your specific needs.
Taking this first step helps you find the perfect model that fits your budget and lifestyle seamlessly.
Stepping over a high barrier while balancing on one foot is a recipe for disaster.
By contrast, these specialized units feature an incredibly low entry threshold of just a few inches.
This means you simply walk right in, close the watertight door, and sit down on a comfortable molded seat.
Once you are safely inside, you can fill the deep basin with warm water to enjoy a deep soak.
Many models feature advanced hydrotherapy jets that target sore muscles and aching joints.
This soothing action provides excellent relief for arthritis, poor circulation, and general muscle tension.
On top of that, quick-drain technology ensures you do not have to sit shivering while the water empties.
Special high-speed pumps pull the water out of the basin in under two minutes flat.
This fast draining process lets you open the door and step out safely without catching a cold.
Investing in your safety pays off by allowing you to remain in your beloved home much longer.
While the upfront price of these premium bathing units might seem high, it is far cheaper than assisted living.
We believe in complete transparency and break down all the costs involved so you know exactly what to expect.

To help you plan, we look at the entire scope of work during our visit.
We examine your current water heater to ensure it can handle a larger volume of warm water.
This thorough inspection prevents any unpleasant surprises once the new unit is fully operational.
Tackling a heavy, complex plumbing project on your own often leads to expensive water damage and frustration.
These specialized bathing units weigh hundreds of pounds and require precise leveling to seal properly.
Our trained crew handles the heavy lifting and uses specialized tools to fit the unit perfectly into your existing alcove.
Water pressure and electrical connections for therapy jets require licensed expertise to keep you safe.
We run dedicated electrical lines with ground-fault circuit interrupters to protect against shocks.
This meticulous attention to detail guarantees that your new system complies with all local building codes.
Furthermore, an incorrect seal on the door can cause catastrophic flooding in your hallway or crawlspace.
Our crew double-tests every single gasket and connection before we consider the job finished.
This rigorous testing phase protects your home and keeps your manufacturer warranty fully intact.
Everyone has different mobility levels, which is why customizable grab bars and controls are so important.
We position heavy-duty safety bars exactly where your hands naturally reach for support.
This custom placement gives you maximum leverage when sitting down or standing up after a long soak.
Easy-to-reach dial controls allow you to adjust the water temperature without bending over or straining.
You can also choose handheld showerheads with extra-long hoses for targeted rinsing.
These thoughtful details transform a simple chore back into a pleasurable, independent ritual.
Additionally, we offer textured slip-resistant floors that prevent your feet from sliding around.
This subtle texture provides excellent traction even when the floor is covered in soapy water.
You can step inside with absolute confidence knowing your footing is completely secure.

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 Fearrington Village.
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.
