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.
Your current bathroom setup might feel like a daily obstacle course. Because of this, stepping over that high barrier on your standard basin becomes a risky chore every single morning. Fortunately, a specialized team can visit your home to measure your space and give you a free estimate for a safer option.
This great upgrade removes the fear of slipping on wet tile. Consequently, you get to regain your independence without stressing over bathroom accidents anymore. Our local crew is ready to help you find the perfect setup for your needs.
If you live in Pembina County, you already know how cold those northern winters can get. For this reason, having a deep, warm soaking basin with a secure, leak-proof door becomes a total game-changer for your daily routine. Let us help you transform your home into a secure haven.
Think of this setup as a heavy-duty, sealed cabin for your daily washes. Instead of climbing over a dangerous ledge, you simply swing open a low-threshold entryway and step right inside. This clever design keeps you secure while providing a built-in bench to sit on.
Once you close the watertight seal, you can fill the basin with warm water up to your chest. That means you get a deep, relaxing soak without the danger of falling down. It is the ultimate way to enjoy your private time without any anxiety.
Many folks worry about how fast these units drain when you want to exit. Thanks to advanced dual-drain technology, the water empties out in less than eighty seconds. You will not have to sit there shivering while waiting to open the door.
By choosing to install a low-threshold safety bath, you are investing in your long-term safety. This choice allows you to stay in your beloved home much longer as you age. It is a smart move that brings peace of mind to your entire family.
Aside from the obvious safety perks, these units offer incredible physical relief. Specifically, the built-in warm hydrotherapy jets can soothe your sore muscles and aching joints after a long day. You will feel like you have a personal spa right in your own home.
To help you understand the different features available, here is a quick breakdown of what you can choose:
| Feature | Concrete Benefit |
|---|---|
| Low-Step Entry Door | Prevents trips and falls when entering the basin. |
| Contoured Heated Seat | Keeps your body warm while the water fills up. |
| High-Flow Fast Drain | Lets you exit the basin quickly without catching a chill. |
| Safety Grab Bars | Offers solid leverage to stand up safely. |
Choosing the right combination of these options depends on your layout. During our free home visit, we will look at your plumbing to see what works best. We make sure every detail fits your lifestyle perfectly.
Trying to tackle this kind of plumbing job on your own can lead to massive headaches. Indeed, these heavy units require precise leveling, specialized drainage connections, and expert sealing to prevent water damage. Our trained hands ensure that your subfloor remains perfectly dry and protected.
On top of that, older homes often have outdated pipes that need a quick upgrade to handle the water volume. Because we know local building codes inside and out, we handle all the permits and technical details. You can just sit back and watch your dream bathroom come together.
We take pride in our clean work habits. Which means we protect your floors with tarps and clean up every speck of dust before we leave. Your home will look better than it did when we arrived.
We believe in giving you the straight facts without any sugarcoating. On the positive side, a step-in soaking tub offers unmatched slip prevention and incredible warmth. It truly changes how you view your daily hygiene routine.
However, you must keep in mind that you have to step inside before filling it with water. This means you will spend a couple of minutes waiting for the warm water to rise around you. We always install high-capacity valves to make this wait as short as possible.
Another point to consider is the size of your current water heater. Since these deep basins hold more gallons than a standard unit, you might need a larger tank. We will inspect your current heater during our visit to let you know if it can handle the load.
First, you reach out to us to schedule your free in-home consultation. We will drive out to your property in the 58241 zip code area to look at your bathroom layout. This visit is completely stress-free with zero obligation to buy anything.
Next, we measure your doorways and your existing alcove to find a unit that fits perfectly. We explain your options, from basic models to those with advanced therapeutic air jets. You get a clear, upfront estimate with no hidden fees down the line.
Finally, our crew schedules the swap, which we often complete in just one or two days. We hook up the new lines, test the seals multiple times, and show you exactly how to operate the controls. You will be ready to enjoy your first safe soak that very evening.
Living in a quiet spot with a tiny population of around 45 people means neighbors look out for each other. We bring that same friendly, community-first attitude to every single home we visit. You are not just another invoice to us; you are a valued neighbor.
Even if the local median household income is listed at $0, we know the value of hard-earned money and smart investments. We offer competitive pricing to make sure this vital safety upgrade remains accessible. Your physical well-being should never be compromised by budget worries.

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 Hensel.
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.
