The Lake Purdy crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Shelby 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 in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees start acting up.
Fortunately, you can swap that old high-walled barrier for a secure, low-step alternative that keeps you independent.
This smart change lets you wash without fear of slipping on wet porcelain.
Maybe you are helping an aging parent or just planning for your own future peace of mind.
Our local team visits your home to assess your layout and provide a completely free estimate.
We make sure you get the exact setup that fits your body and your space perfectly.
Choosing this home upgrade means you can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips in the shower.
Which means you get to enjoy a warm, deep soak whenever you want without needing anyone to help you balance.
Let us look at how this simple remodeling project changes your daily routine for the better.
First, we need to talk about how these specialized deep-soaking units actually go into your existing space.
Removing a standard basin requires careful hands so we do not mess up your surrounding drywall or flooring.
Our crew handles the heavy lifting and carefully extracts the old cast iron or fiberglass structure.
After that, we inspect your current pipes to ensure the drain lines can handle a rapid-release water system.
This lets you exit the basin quickly without sitting around shivering while the water empties out.
We upgrade the valves and connections to prevent any annoying leaks behind your new wall surrounds.
Finally, we slide the new leak-proof unit into place and level it perfectly on its heavy-duty steel frame.
This ensures the door seals shut with a tight, pressurized grip that keeps your bathroom floor totally dry.
You get a flawless fit that looks like it was built with the house from day one.
Now, you might wonder about the different options available, like hydrotherapy jets or heated seating surfaces.
These air bubblers target sore muscles and stiff joints to give you a spa-like experience right at home.
You can customize the grab bar placements so your hands always find a sturdy grip exactly where you need it.
On top of that, we offer hand-held showerheads that let you wash your hair easily while remaining seated.
This keeps you in control of the water flow without having to stand up on a slick surface.
Our team helps you pick the right layout during your design consultation.

Every bathroom has its own little quirks, like uneven subfloors or outdated copper pipes.
Our installers know how to reinforce your floor joists to support the weight of a fully loaded basin.
This prevents any sinking or shifting over years of daily use.
Consequently, we adjust the plumbing lines to match your water heater capacity so you never run out of warmth.
If your current tank is too small, we can recommend quick solutions to keep the hot water flowing.
We make sure everything works in harmony before we declare the job finished.
Let us be honest about the process because any construction job in your home brings some noise.
Demolition day can get a bit loud while we break down old tiles and clear out the space.
However, we work fast to minimize the disruption so you can get your peace and quiet back quickly.
Sometimes, we find hidden water damage behind old walls once we pull the old tub out.
Should this happen, we fix the wood rot immediately so your new installation sits on a solid, mold-free foundation.
We believe in doing things right the first time instead of covering up old problems.
While the project takes a couple of days to complete, the long-term payoff is absolutely worth the temporary mess.
You gain a beautiful, accessible sanctuary that allows you to age in place with dignity and total confidence.
No more asking for assistance or feeling anxious when it is time to clean up...
This bathroom upgrade does more than just protect your physical safety while you bathe.

Your peace of mind is just a quick phone call or message away.
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 Lake Purdy.
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.
