From every corner of Juneau City and Borough, 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 into a traditional bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees or back start acting up.
This is why many homeowners are now choosing to swap their old high-walled basins for a much safer alternative.
You deserve to feel completely secure and relaxed while washing away the worries of the day in your own home.
Making this smart upgrade prevents dangerous slips and lets you keep your independence for many years to come.
Our professional team specializes in fitting these specialized low-threshold bathing units directly into your existing layout.
By choosing us to handle the job, you get peace of mind and a beautiful setup that fits your needs perfectly.
We believe that safety should never mean sacrificing a beautiful bathroom design.
Which is why we offer custom setups designed to blend in with your current decor while adding massive utility.
To help you get started on this home upgrade, we provide a completely free in-home estimate to plan the project together.
Many folks worry that replacing a heavy cast iron basin will tear up their entire house for weeks.
Actually, our skilled local technicians can usually swap out your old setup in just a couple of days.
This speedy turnaround means you will not have to deal with endless construction dust or loud noises in your living space.
First, we carefully measure your current layout to ensure the new airtight door unit slides in without a hitch.
After that, we run new plumbing lines to support rapid draining systems so you do not sit shivering while the water empties.
This attention to detail ensures that your new setup functions flawlessly from the very first splash.
| Feature | Immediate Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-entry threshold | No more lifting your legs over dangerous high walls |
| Contoured built-in seat | Sit down comfortably without struggling to get back up |
| Rapid-drain technology | Exit the basin quickly without waiting around in the cold |
| Watertight door seal | Prevents messy leaks and protects your bathroom floor |
On top of that, we always haul away your old bulky fixture so you do not have to worry about disposal.
This comprehensive service keeps the entire experience completely stress-free for you and your family.
You can simply sit back and watch your bathing space transform into a secure haven of relaxation.
Every home is a bit different, which means a one-size-fits-all approach never really works for customized bathing.
We help you select the ideal size, handrail placement, and jet configurations to match your personal physical requirements.
This tailored approach guarantees that every single dollar you spend goes toward features that actually make your life easier.
For example, adding heated seating elements keeps your upper body warm while the basin fills with deep, soothing water.
Alternatively, strategic grab bars offer solid handholds exactly where you need them most when standing up.
We explain all these modern options in plain English without any high-pressure sales tactics.
Attempting a DIY job on heavy water-retaining fixtures usually leads to expensive water damage and massive headaches.
Because these specialized units feature complex door seals and advanced drainage loops, they require precision leveling during placement.
Our seasoned crew knows exactly how to secure the base so it never shifts or cracks under pressure.
Proper leveling also ensures that the heavy-duty door latch aligns perfectly to prevent any slow drips onto your subfloor.
A single tiny leak behind your drywall can quickly turn into a mold nightmare that costs thousands to fix.
By trusting our experienced hands, you avoid these hidden dangers and secure a dry, clean bathroom environment.
Furthermore, we upgrade your existing water heater connections to ensure you actually have enough hot water to fill the deeper basin.
There is nothing worse than getting a new tub only to realize your old heater can only fill it halfway with warm water.
We check all these technical details during our initial visit so there are no annoying surprises later on.
Living in the gorgeous Juneau City and Borough area means dealing with some damp, chilly winters that can really stiffen up your joints.
When the damp cold settles into the panhandle of Alaska, nothing feels better than a hot, deep soak to revive your body.
Our local homes often feature unique older plumbing systems that require a gentle, expert touch to upgrade properly.
Whether you reside in a classic house near the historic downtown or a modern place out in the valley, we know the local building codes inside and out.
Our team respects your property and works hard to keep your home warm and clean while we perform the swap.
We take pride in helping our neighbors stay safe in the communities surrounding the Gastineau Channel.
With local household incomes in our region being relatively strong, investing in your home's accessibility is a very smart financial move.
Upgrading your property with high-quality accessibility features can actually boost its overall market value and appeal.
More importantly, it allows you to age in place comfortably without needing to relocate to an expensive assisted living facility.
If you suffer from arthritis or general muscle soreness, adding gentle water jets can make a world of difference.
These hydrotherapy systems target your lower back, calves, and feet with warm, circulating water to boost circulation.
This soothing action helps you sleep better at night and move with much greater freedom during the day.
We also offer air jet systems that produce thousands of tiny, soft bubbles for a lighter, more delicate massage experience.
You can even combine both systems to create the ultimate home spa tailored specifically to your daily wellness routine.
Let us show you how easy it is to bring this level of relaxation directly into your home.
Taking the first step toward a safer home does not have to feel overwhelming or expensive.
We make the process incredibly simple by coming directly to your door to inspect your current bathroom layout.
During this visit, we will listen to your concerns, take precise measurements, and present a clear, honest quote.
You will not have to worry about hidden fees, confusing jargon, or pushy sales pitches from our friendly crew.

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.
