The Fleischmanns crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Delaware 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 crawl by.
Fortunately, we can swap that old hazard for a secure, low-step basin that keeps you safe.
Which means you can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet porcelain and start enjoying your peace of mind again.
This simple switch makes a world of difference for your daily routine.
Because we believe staying in the home you love is worth protecting, we bring these specialty bathroom upgrades right to your door.
Now you can wave goodbye to those scary balancing acts and hello to easy, independent soaking.
Our dedicated crew handles the whole process from start to finish without any stress.
That is why we invite you to grab a free estimate today to see how easily your space can transform.
This lets you plan your budget without any pressure or hidden fees.
First, let us look at what makes these accessible bathing units so different from standard designs.
They feature a leak-proof door built right into the side wall of the basin.
Actually, this door allows you to step inside without lifting your leg more than a few inches off the floor.
Once you step inside, you sit down on a raised, built-in bench.
Naturally, this seating position is much more natural than lying flat on the cold bottom of a standard basin.
Which means your knees and back do not have to strain when you want to stand up again.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Accessible Entry Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Around 14 to 18 inches | Usually under 4 inches |
| Seating | Flat on the floor | Elevated, chair-height bench |
| Safety Grab Bars | Rarely built-in | Standard and strategically placed |
On top of that, these units drain incredibly fast so you do not freeze while waiting to open the door.
Which is why selecting the right model with heavy-duty seals is so vital for your home.
We can help you choose the perfect fit for your specific bathroom layout.
Initially, we come to your home to measure your existing bathroom footprint.
Because these specialty units fit right into the footprint of your old five-foot basin, we rarely need to tear down walls.
This saves you tons of money on messy construction and keeps the dust in your house to an absolute minimum.
Next, our team carefully removes your old cast iron or acrylic basin.
We then inspect the wood subfloor underneath to ensure no hidden water damage exists.
Fixing these minor issues now prevents major headaches down the road, which keeps your home structurally sound.
After preparing the floor, we slide the new unit into place and hook up the plumbing.
We run new lines and install high-flow faucets that fill the basin quickly.
As a result, you get a warm, deep bath without waiting around forever in the cold.
Living in a quiet mountain village with a population of only 214 people means community matters.
Since we serve this beautiful area, we know the local homes and their unique building quirks.
Our team treats every house with the respect it deserves, from the historic Victorians to cozy cabins.

Our service vehicle comes fully stocked with all the tools needed to evaluate your bathroom.
You do not have to run around looking for plumbers or contractors because we do it all.
Clearly, maintaining your freedom as you age is incredibly important.
Using a secure, low-entry basin means you do not have to rely on anyone else for your private hygiene.
This brings back a sense of dignity that a simple shower curtain just cannot provide.
Furthermore, the soothing warm water helps relieve tight muscles and stiff joints after a long day.
If you suffer from arthritis or poor circulation, this deep-soaking method offers immense physical relief.
It is like having a private spa right in your own home.
First, the slip-resistant floor texture prevents your feet from sliding around when soapy.
This texture keeps you anchored while you wash, which reduces the chance of a dangerous slip.
You can move around with confidence, even when the surface is wet.
Second, heavy-duty grab bars are mounted directly into the frame of the unit.
These bars give you sturdy handholds right where you need them most.
They support your weight easily as you transition from standing to sitting.
Lastly, the hand-held shower wand allows you to wash hard-to-reach places without turning your body awkwardly.
You can control the water flow with a simple button on the handle.
This puts you in total control of your bathing experience without any struggle.
When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to visit your home.
We look at your plumbing, measure your doorways, and check your water heater capacity.
This ensures your home can support the new fixture without any unexpected issues.
Then, we show you different styles and door configurations that match your physical needs.
We explain how each model works and answer all your questions in plain English.
You will never feel rushed or pressured to make a decision on the spot.
Finally, we hand you a detailed, written estimate that outlines all the costs.
This quote includes the removal of your old tub, the new unit, and all plumbing work.
Which means you know exactly what to expect before we ever turn a wrench.
Waiting for a slip to happen before making a change is a risky gamble.

Take the first step toward safer, happier bathing today...
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 Fleischmanns.
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.
