The Hatton crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Traill 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.
If you feel anxious every time you step over that high slippery barrier in your bathroom to take a bath, a professional barrier-free bathing upgrade can instantly restore your peace of mind and safety. Replacing your traditional high-walled setup with a secure door-entry model will eliminate the fear of slipping on wet porcelain. Our local team comes right to your home to evaluate your layout and provide a no-obligation project estimate.
Making this switch is truly life-changing for anyone who wants to maintain their independence at home. Think about how much simpler life gets when you can just open a watertight door, step inside over a tiny threshold, and sit down on a built-in contoured bench. This smart design choice eliminates the risky balancing act of climbing in and out of a deep basin.
Because safety is our primary focus, we install heavy-duty grab bars and textured slip-resistant flooring inside every single unit. These crucial features give you solid handholds and secure footing while you move around. You will finally be able to look forward to your daily warm soak instead of dreading the physical strain.
On top of those security features, our advanced models come equipped with high-pressure water jets and warm air blowers that target your sore muscles. This therapeutic design helps soothe arthritic joints and back pain right in the privacy of your own home. You get a private spa experience that actually improves your physical health and daily mobility.
Choosing the right configuration depends entirely on your specific physical requirements and the size of your existing bathroom space. We offer a wide variety of dimensions, including deep-soaker models for tall users and compact versions designed to fit into tight mobile home bathrooms. Our team will help you navigate these options during your initial home consultation.
To help you understand the main differences between the layouts we install, we have put together a quick comparison of the most popular configurations.
| Model Type | Key Feature | Primary Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Inward-Opening Door | Space-saving swing | Perfect for tight bathrooms |
| Outward-Opening Door | Wide access clearance | Easiest entry for wheelchairs |
| Deep Soaker | Tall water line | Full chest-deep submersion |
Naturally, some folks worry about how fast these large basins can empty out after a bath. That is why we specialize in rapid-drain technology that sucks the water out of the basin in under two minutes flat. This means you do not have to sit there shivering while you wait for the water level to go down before opening the door.
Besides the drainage speed, we also pay close attention to the heating elements built into the seat. These heated backrests keep your upper body warm while the basin fills up with hot water. It is a simple touch that makes a massive difference in your overall enjoyment during those freezing North Dakota winters.
Fitting one of these specialized units into an existing home requires real hands-on trade skills and deep plumbing knowledge. This is not a simple weekend DIY job because we often have to widen doorways, update old drain lines, and reroute hot water pipes. Our crew handles all of these complex tasks with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
When we arrive at your property, we first protect your floors with heavy drop cloths to prevent any damage. Then we carefully extract your old porcelain basin and inspect the subfloor underneath for water damage or dry rot. Fixing those hidden issues before putting the new heavy unit in place guarantees that your floor stays solid for decades.
Next, we upgrade your supply lines to handle the new faucet fixtures and hook up the electrical lines for the air jets. We make sure everything complies perfectly with local safety codes and standards. You will never have to worry about water leaks behind your drywall or faulty wiring tripping your breaker.
Updating your home with a secure, low-threshold soaking basin is one of the smartest ways to avoid expensive assisted living facilities. Staying in your beloved home where you raised your family is priceless, and this upgrade keeps you safe while doing so. It is a practical home improvement that brings tremendous relief to both you and your worried family members.
If you look at the real estate market, homes with accessible modifications are in very high demand. Future buyers will appreciate having a high-quality, leak-proof, ADA-compliant system already installed in the master bath. This means you recover a massive chunk of your initial project cost if you ever decide to sell the property down the road.

This site visit allows us to determine if your current water heater is large enough to fill the new system properly.

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 Hatton.
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.
