From every corner of Horry County, the climb over the tub wall gives way to a watertight door, a warm seat and a steady hand to hold.
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 we get older.

You can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips on wet porcelain floors.

Which means you do not have to lift your legs over a high barrier anymore.
Our team visits your home to measure your space and help you choose the perfect fit.
By choosing this upgrade, you protect your independence while staying in the home you love.

First, these units feature a leak-proof door that seals tight when you close it.
Then, you simply step over a tiny gap that is only a few inches high.
Once you are inside, you sit down on a molded, raised seat that keeps you comfortable.
On top of that, the heavy-duty door utilizes the natural pressure of the water to keep the seal tight.
This design prevents any water from leaking out onto your bathroom floor.
Because of this smart engineering, you get a deep soak while keeping the rest of your room bone dry.
After you finish bathing, the fast-drain system empties the water in just a couple of minutes.
Consequently, you do not have to sit there shivering while waiting for the tub to empty.
You can then open the door safely and step right out onto your bath mat.
Naturally, some people try to handle home renovations on their own to save a buck.
However, plumbing and sealing these heavy acrylic units requires serious training and precision.
A slight mistake can lead to hidden water damage behind your drywall, costing thousands to fix later.
Our skilled crew handles the entire process from demolition to the final cleanup.
Specifically, we inspect your current pipes to ensure the water flows fast and hot.
This attention to detail ensures your new system works flawlessly for years to come.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we broke down the main choices below.
| System Type | Key Benefit | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Soaker Unit | Deep, warm submersion | Simple relaxation and safety |
| Hydrotherapy System | Targeted water jets | Relieving sore muscles and joints |
| Air Jet System | Gentle, bubbling massage | Sensitive skin and mild relaxation |
Which means you can pick the exact features that match your physical needs.
For instance, the heated backrests keep you warm even before the water fills up.
We can go over all these custom options during your free home consultation.
Now, let us talk about where we do our work in this beautiful part of the country.
We serve the entire area of Horry County, South Carolina, from the bustling beach towns to the quiet inland communities.
Our neighbors appreciate having a local contractor who understands the specific plumbing setups in these coastal homes.
Whether you live in a historic house or a newer suburban development, we know how to adapt.
For example, older homes often need updated drain pipes to handle the fast-drain technology.
We take care of those upgrades so you do not have to hire separate contractors.
Furthermore, our team respects your property and keeps the work area incredibly clean.
We lay down protective mats to keep your floors spotless while we carry materials in and out.
This careful approach means you do not have to worry about a messy house during construction.
First and foremost, the textured floor prevents your feet from sliding around when soapy.
Additionally, built-in grab bars give you sturdy handholds to grip whenever you stand up.
These features work together to create a secure environment where you feel fully in control.
On top of safety, these units offer incredible physical relief for aching muscles.
Specifically, the warm water helps improve circulation throughout your body as you relax.
This therapeutic effect is especially helpful for folks dealing with stiff knees or back pain.
Below is a quick checklist of the safety components we look at during our visits.
| Feature | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Low Step-In | Eliminates tripping hazards when entering |
| ADA Seats | Allows you to sit down and rise easily |
| Anti-Scald Valves | Prevents sudden bursts of dangerously hot water |
Consequently, you can bathe with complete peace of mind, knowing you are protected from burns.
We ensure every valve is calibrated perfectly before we declare the job finished.
You deserve to feel safe in your own home, and we make that happen.
Perhaps you are wondering how long this kind of transformation actually takes.
Usually, our experienced installers can complete the job in just one or two days.
We work efficiently because we know how disruptive it is to lose your main bathroom.
First, we carefully remove your existing bulky tub and dispose of it properly.
Next, we inspect the subfloor to make sure there is no hidden rot or mold.
If we find any issues, we repair them immediately so your new heavy unit has a rock-solid foundation.
After that, we run the new plumbing lines and slide the unit into place.
We seal every edge with commercial-grade silicone to guarantee a watertight fit.
Finally, we test the doors, jets, and drains repeatedly to ensure everything operates smoothly.
Now is the time to take action before an accidental slip causes a major injury.
Investing in a walk-in bathing enclosure is a smart way to invest in your future health.
It is much cheaper than moving into an assisted living facility just because of bathroom accessibility.

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.
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.
