The Kendale Lakes crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Miami-Dade 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.
Every single day we use our bathrooms without thinking much about the hidden dangers lurking on those wet, slippery tiles. Unfortunately, taking a simple shower can turn into a scary balancing act as we get older or deal with nagging joint pain. This is why many local homeowners are choosing to replace their traditional deep basins with specialized, low-threshold bathing units that feature a secure, leak-proof door built right into the side.
By opting for this smart home modification, you instantly eliminate the need to climb over a high porcelain barrier just to get clean. Instead, you simply open the lightweight door, step inside over a tiny threshold, and sit down on a comfortable, molded bench. This simple change brings immense peace of mind to your entire family because it drastically reduces the risk of dangerous slips and falls in the wettest room of the house.
Naturally, making this transition requires some planning and hands-on help from experienced local installers who know how to retro-fit these heavy units. Our friendly team comes straight to your house to evaluate your current setup, measure your doorway clearances, and give you a cost estimate. We take great pride in helping our neighbors find the perfect fit for their specific physical needs and budget limits without any high-pressure sales tactics.
Selecting the perfect model involves looking at several crucial design features that go way beyond just the overall size of the unit. For instance, you want to pay close attention to the width of the entry door, the height of the built-in seat, and the placement of the safety grab bars. On top of that, you should consider how fast the water drains out because nobody likes sitting in a cooling puddle waiting for the tub to empty before they can open the door.
Let us look at some of the key features you should consider before making a decision:
| Key Feature | Daily Benefit For You |
|---|---|
| Low Step-In Threshold | Prevents trips by keeping the entry point just inches off the floor. |
| Contoured Heated Seating | Keeps your upper body warm and relaxed while the basin fills up with water. |
| Fast Drain Technology | Allows you to open the door and exit the unit almost immediately after bathing. |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Soothes sore muscles and improves circulation in your legs and lower back. |
Choosing the right configuration depends heavily on your bathroom layout, plumbing capacity, and personal mobility challenges. This is why we never recommend a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to upgrading your home for long-term safety. Which means we take our time during our initial visit to discuss every detail, from water heater capacity to the best grab bar placement for your height.
Installing these specialized, high-capacity vessels is definitely not a weekend DIY project for the average homeowner because it involves complex plumbing work. These units hold a lot more water than standard models, which means your existing pipes and floor joists might need some professional reinforcement. Moreover, we have to ensure the hot water supply is robust enough to fill the larger volume quickly so you do not freeze while waiting.
Our experienced technicians handle everything from pulling permits to leveling the heavy frame and sealing the triple-layered door gaskets. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that your new setup remains completely water-tight, protecting your subfloor from costly mold damage and rot. Consequently, you get a beautiful, safe oasis that functions flawlessly every time you want to relax and soak away your worries.
Imagine being able to enjoy a deep, warm bath whenever you want without having to ask a family member or caregiver for assistance. This renewed independence is the greatest gift our customers receive when they upgrade to an easy-access bathing enclosure. This lets you maintain your privacy, protect your dignity, and stay in the home you love for many more years to come.
In addition to safety, these premium systems offer incredible therapeutic benefits like targeted air and water jets that massage your tired muscles. This warm water therapy works wonders for chronic conditions like arthritis, restless leg syndrome, and poor circulation. Therefore, your daily wash becomes a luxurious, spa-like experience that actively improves your physical health and overall well-being.
Our dedicated crew handles the entire removal of your old, hazardous fixture and installs the new unit with minimal disruption to your household. We clean up every speck of dust and haul away the debris so you do not have to lift a finger during the process. After that, we walk you through how to operate all the controls, jets, and rapid-drain features so you feel completely confident using your new system.
While retrofitting your bathroom involves an upfront cost, it is far less expensive than the alternative of moving into an assisted living facility. By choosing to modify your existing space, you are proactively protecting your health and preserving your financial freedom over the long haul. Which is why so many smart families view this upgrade as a essential form of insurance against sudden, debilitating accidents.
We believe in absolute transparency, which is why we provide a detailed, written breakdown of all costs during our initial home visit. There are never any hidden fees or surprise charges when you work with us, just honest craftsmanship from people who live and work in your community. We want you to make an informed choice that brings you joy and safety, which is why our estimates are always completely free and valid for several months.
Whether you reside in the heart of this vibrant community of 58,395 residents in Miami-Dade County, or live near the beautiful local parks, we are just a quick phone call away. With a median household income of $56,017, many local families in various ZIP codes are discovering that this upgrade is highly affordable and adds significant value to their properties. Do not wait for a dangerous fall to happen before you take action to secure your home.
Taking the first step toward a safer, more relaxing home life is much easier than you might think. Our friendly, local team is ready to answer all your questions and help you design the perfect bathing space for your unique needs. We bring our knowledge, tools, and friendly smiles right to your door to make this process smooth and stress-free.

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 Kendale Lakes.
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.
