(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.
You can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet bathroom floors every single time you want to clean up.
Getting into a standard deep basin gets harder as the years roll by, which makes a low-step entry barrier a total game-changer for your daily peace of mind.
Our local team visits homes in your area to measure your space and give you an estimate on a custom upgrade.
Picture yourself soaking in warm water without that constant fear of losing your balance while stepping over a high porcelain wall.
This specialized home upgrade brings back your independence so you do not have to rely on family members just to take a simple bath.
We focus on retrofitting your current space with a modern, watertight door-entry system that fits like a glove.
Choosing the right setup means looking at your current bathroom layout and deciding which features will help you stay safe for years to come.
Our professional crew handles everything from pulling out the old heavy cast-iron basin to sealing the new leak-proof system perfectly.
You deserve a stress-free experience from start to finish, which is why we offer consultations right in your home.
Many folks do not realize how dangerous a traditional slippery basin actually is until an accidental slip happens.
By investing in a modern high-walled system with an integrated swinging door, you drastically reduce the risk of falling while bathing.
These units feature built-in seating, which allows you to sit down comfortably at chair height instead of struggling to get up from the floor level.
On top of the obvious safety improvements, these systems offer therapeutic water jets that can soothe your aching muscles and joints after a long day.
Imagine enjoying a warm, deep soak that reaches all the way up to your shoulders while you sit completely upright and relaxed.
This is not just about home safety, it is also about upgrading your daily quality of life with a spa-like retreat.
Another major benefit is the fast-draining technology that ensures you do not have to sit shivering in the cold while the water empties out.
Advanced dual-drain systems pull the water down the pipes in under two minutes so you can open the door and step out quickly.
Our installation team makes sure your home plumbing can handle this rapid release without any backups or messy overflows.
When you start exploring your options, you will find a wide variety of dimensions and luxury features tailored to your specific physical needs.
Some units open inward to save space in tight bathrooms, while other models swing outward to make wheelchair transfers incredibly simple and painless.
We help you navigate these choices so you get the exact configuration that works best for your mobility level.
Let us look at some of the standard features you can choose from to customize your new bathing system:
| Safety Feature | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Low-step entry threshold | Prevents trips and falls by keeping the step-in height under four inches. |
| Heated backrest | Keeps your upper body warm while the basin fills up with hot water. |
| Internal grab bars | Provides sturdy handholds so you can stand up or sit down with confidence. |
| Anti-slip textured floor | Gives your feet a solid grip even when the surface is covered in soap. |
Of course, adding these features requires professional hands because the plumbing and sealing must be absolutely flawless to prevent water damage.
A bad DIY job can ruin your subfloor, whereas our trained installers guarantee a watertight fit that protects your home structure.
We take pride in our clean, efficient work and always clean up every speck of dust before we leave your house.
You might wonder how we actually get one of these large, sturdy units into a standard residential bathroom without tearing down your walls.
First, our team carefully measures your doorways and hallways to plan the safest, cleanest route for bringing the new unit inside.
Then, we carefully extract your old fixture, making sure we do not damage your existing drywall or surrounding floor tiles.
Next, we inspect the exposed subfloor for any hidden rot or water damage to ensure a rock-solid foundation for the new heavy basin.
This step is crucial because a sturdy foundation prevents any shifting or squeaking when the unit fills up with gallons of heavy water.
Once the floor is prepped, we run new copper lines and secure the drain connections using high-grade professional materials.
Finally, we position the new unit, level it perfectly using adjustable steel leveling legs, and apply commercial-grade silicone sealants.
We run a full wet test on-site to verify that the door seal is completely airtight and that the drains work flawlessly.
This thorough testing process gives you absolute confidence that your home is safe from any future leaks or water spots.

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 Hollins.
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.
