The Hickory Flat crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Benton 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 into a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees start acting up.
Fortunately, a specialized low-threshold deep-soaking unit offers a simple way to regain your independence.
Our team visits local homes to help folks find the perfect fit for their daily routine.
You do not have to struggle with high tub walls anymore.
Which means you can finally enjoy a warm, deep soak without the constant fear of slipping.
This lets you look forward to bath time again instead of dreading the physical strain.
Imagine stepping through a secure, leak-proof door instead of balancing on one slippery foot.
That simple change makes a massive difference for your peace of mind and physical safety.
We love helping neighbors in our tiny corner of Benton County find this exact relief.
Safety is the most obvious benefit when you choose to replace an old, hazardous basin.
Because of the slip-resistant floor and sturdy built-in grab bars, your risk of falling drops dramatically.
You can sit down on a comfortable, raised bench and let the warm water do its magic.
Additionally, fast-drain technology ensures you do not sit shivering while the water empties out.
Many people do not realize how annoying it is to wait in a cold tub for several minutes.
Our advanced systems pull the water down the pipes in under sixty seconds flat.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we put together a quick comparison table.
This outlines the clear differences between your old setup and these modern, accessible soaking systems.
| Feature Comparison | Standard Old Style Tub | Accessible Soaking System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | High wall (usually 15 inches or more) | Ultra-low threshold (less than 4 inches) |
| Seating Style | Floor level (very hard to get up from) | Contoured, chair-height built-in seat |
| Safety Features | None built-in (must add suction bars) | Integrated grab bars and textured floor |
Every single home has its own unique plumbing quirks and layout challenges.
That is why we never try to sell you a one-size-fits-all kit from a big-box retailer.
Instead, we carefully measure your current space to ensure a flawless seal and perfect fit.
During our initial visit, we look at your water heater capacity and bathroom floor joists.
This is because a larger vessel holds more water, which weighs more and demands plenty of hot water.
We make sure your home infrastructure can handle the upgrade without any unexpected surprises down the road.
Once we start the actual physical labor, we work quickly to minimize any disruption to your home.
Our crew handles everything from removing the old heavy cast iron beast to sealing the new acrylic walls.
This comprehensive approach means you do not have to coordinate with multiple plumbers or drywall contractors.
Living in a small community with just 587 residents means your reputation is absolutely everything.
We treat every single house we enter with the exact same respect we would show our own grandmother.
This means we never leave a messy workspace or cut corners on the vital plumbing seals.
With the local median household income sitting around $30,000, we know that budgeting is incredibly important.
Which is why we focus on providing affordable, transparent pricing without any hidden fees or high-pressure sales tactics.
We believe that safety in your own home should not cost an arm and a leg.
Our team travels all around the 38633 zip code area to deliver these life-changing home improvements.
Whether you live right in the heart of town or out on the scenic rural roads, we come directly to you.
You get professional, neighborly service right at your doorstep without any hassle.
Many folks do not realize how many customizable options are actually available for these modern units.
For instance, you can choose soothing hydrotherapy jets to help ease arthritis pain and stiff muscles.
These heated water streams target your lower back, legs, and feet to provide gentle relief.
On top of that, you can opt for hand-held showerheads that make rinsing off incredibly easy.
This feature lets you stay safely seated while still reaching everywhere you need to clean.
It is all about giving you back your personal dignity and independence in the shower room.
We also pay close attention to the door seal, which uses pressurized technology to keep water inside.
This lifetime guarantee seal prevents messy leaks that could damage your bathroom subfloor over time.
You can splash and soak with total confidence, knowing your bathroom floor will stay completely dry.
When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to visit your home and look at your setup.
We sit down with you to discuss your specific physical needs and your design preferences.
This friendly chat helps us determine the absolute best model for your daily routine and budget.
After we take precise measurements, we provide a detailed, written estimate at absolutely zero cost to you.
There is never any obligation to buy, because we want you to feel entirely comfortable with your decision.
We simply want to give you the honest facts and pricing so you can make the right choice.
Taking this step is the easiest way to ensure you can stay in your beloved home for years to come.
Aging in place is much easier when you do not have to worry about bathroom slip-and-fall accidents.
Let us do the heavy lifting so you can enjoy a safer, more relaxing, and truly therapeutic bathing experience.
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 Hickory Flat.
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.
