The Kerr crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Lake 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 your regular wash basin should not feel like climbing a mountain every morning. You deserve a setup that provides total ease and safe access for your everyday hygiene needs.
Maybe you have noticed that stepping over a high wall just feels dangerous lately. That high barrier creates a real risk of slipping when your feet are wet and the floor is slick. By choosing a unit with a side door, you remove that hurdle and allow yourself to walk right into a warm soak. This keeps your home safe and lets you stay independent for many more years.
Furthermore, these specialized units come with built-in seats that make sitting down feel like true luxury. You do not have to struggle with balance while you try to wash your legs or reach for the soap. The seat is positioned perfectly so you stay stable during your entire wash. Because you are seated, the water stays around your shoulders while you relax.
Moreover, these systems often include hydrotherapy jets that massage your tired muscles after a long day. You get the benefit of a deep soak without needing to worry about how you will get back out. It is a fantastic way to soothe your back and legs without needing help from anyone else. This creates a relaxing vibe that really adds to your house value over time.
Living out in this beautiful corner of Lake County means you appreciate a quiet life. Even if the population is small, you still need access to modern features that make life better. You might worry that getting this kind of work done in a tiny spot like Kerr is difficult. However, I enjoy driving out to see the local sights and helping neighbors get their homes updated properly.
Since the median household income varies across the state, you need options that fit your personal budget. Getting a fair price starts with a clear look at what your bathroom actually needs today. I always provide a free estimate so you know exactly what is happening before we start. You avoid surprise costs and get a clear picture of the project timeline right away.
Perhaps you wonder if this project will tear up your whole house for weeks. Actually, most of these jobs move quite fast once we have the right unit picked out for your space. We remove the old, high-walled structure and fit the new, accessible one into the same footprint. This minimizes the mess and lets you get back to using your bathroom quickly.
Because these units use a watertight seal on the door, you never have to worry about water leaking onto your tile. The door remains locked tight until the basin drains completely, which adds a safety feature you cannot ignore. You simply close the door, fill it up, and enjoy the soak. Once you drain the water, the door unlocks, and you can walk right out with zero effort.
Another great benefit is the low-maintenance surface of these tubs. They use durable materials that resist stains and hold heat much better than old metal basins. You spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing, which is exactly how it should be. It is a smart investment that pays off every single time you use it.
Deciding to change your bathroom layout is a big move that impacts your daily quality of life. You should choose a model that fits your physical needs and also looks great in your room. Some people prefer extra grab bars, while others want a wider seat for extra space. I can show you all the different styles so you find the perfect match.
Taking action now prevents future accidents that could limit your mobility later on. Why wait until you have a bad slip before making your home safer? Getting a free quote is the easiest first step to take control of your environment. You talk to me directly about your goals, and I explain how we can make them happen fast.
When we talk about plumbing, you need to know that your pipes are ready for the new hardware. Sometimes we need to adjust the drain or update your water heater to handle the volume of these larger basins. This sounds complicated, but I handle all the technical bits so you stay stress-free. I make sure everything works perfectly from the first test run.
Since these units fill up much faster than your old tub, we often upgrade the valves to ensure high water flow. You do not want to sit there waiting forever for the water to reach your shoulders. My team ensures that the pressure is just right for your home. You get to enjoy your soak almost immediately after turning the handle.
Working with someone who knows your area makes the whole process smoother. I have helped many folks around the state, and I understand the local needs of people in small communities. You deserve clear communication, honest work, and a finished product that lasts for years. I pride myself on being reachable and reliable whenever you have a question.

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 Kerr.
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.
