The Kimball crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Brule 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 a high-walled basin can feel like a mountain climb when you reach a certain age. You deserve a soak that provides total peace and ease without the fear of slipping or tripping over the edge.
Changing your outdated shower stall for a deep vessel with a watertight swinging door makes your daily routine much safer. You can walk right inside without lifting your legs high into the air. This design feature prevents nasty falls that often happen in traditional washrooms.
Moreover, these units come with built-in seats that let you stay upright while the water rises around you. Being able to sit down instead of standing helps you avoid dizziness or fatigue during your wash. You get a steady grip from reinforced handrails that are bolted directly into the frame.
Because these units fit into the same footprint as your old bathtub, you keep the flow of your floor plan perfect. It means you gain a spa-like experience right at home without needing to knock down walls. You will find that having a dedicated space for sitting makes your morning much more pleasant.
Living in Kimball, South Dakota means dealing with our unique weather patterns and quiet rural charm. With a population of about 572 neighbors in the 57355 area, we value independence and staying in our own houses for as long as possible. The median household income of $50,909 suggests that you want smart investments that last a long time.
Adding a modern soaking system is a great way to boost the value of your property while helping yourself stay mobile. You avoid the stress of trying to balance on one leg while washing the other. It is about keeping your dignity and your health intact by making small changes that count.
| Feature | Benefit for you |
| Low entry threshold | Eliminates the risk of tripping during entry |
| Internal molded seating | Prevents fatigue and promotes better posture |
| Fast drain technology | Lets you exit quickly without waiting too long |
| Textured floor surface | Offers extra grip to keep you upright |
First, a professional comes out to take exact measurements of your existing bathroom space. We look at the plumbing lines to ensure everything will fit just right once the new unit is in place. This avoids any nasty surprises during the actual construction phase of the project.
Next, we tear out the old, clunky porcelain box that has been causing you trouble for years. This might sound like a messy job but we work clean to keep your floors protected from dust and debris. You can relax knowing that we haul away the old junk so you do not have to lift a finger.
Finally, we hook up the new watertight door and test every seal to make sure it is completely leak-proof. You get a full walk-through on how to operate the controls and the quick-fill faucet system. It is simple, fast, and makes your life much better than before.
Sometimes you might worry that these units take too long to fill up with warm water. However, the modern models we select have high-flow hardware that gets the water ready in just a few short minutes. You never have to sit there shivering in a cold basin while you wait for the level to rise.
Another concern is the time it takes to empty the water once you finish your soak. Many people think they have to sit there for an hour while it drains out slowly. Modern engineering has fixed that by adding massive drain valves that clear the tank in record time.
What about the price tag of such an upgrade? While it is an investment in your physical wellbeing, the cost is often much lower than moving to a different house or paying for assisted living. You get a custom solution that fits your budget while providing the kind of relief and luxury you really want.
You have several choices when it comes to the style and shape of these units. Some are deeper for full immersion while others are shorter to save space in smaller bathrooms. You should think about what makes you feel most relaxed when choosing your specific model.
On top of that, you can add therapeutic jets that massage your muscles after a long day of work. These bubbles help you unwind and feel refreshed without needing to visit a professional spa. You deserve that level of luxury every single day inside your own private space.
Since we are based in this region, we understand the importance of quality work that stands the test of time. We use materials that do not chip or crack even after years of daily use. You can trust that your investment will remain in top shape for a long time to come.

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 Kimball.
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.
