The Lakemoor crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over McHenry 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 or back start acting up.
Fortunately, you can swap that old high-walled basin for a secure, low-step alternative that keeps you independent.
Our team visits your home to measure your space and give you a project estimate without any pressure.
Stepping over a steep ledge on wet tile is a recipe for a nasty slip.
By choosing a sealed-door bathing unit, you eliminate that dangerous hurdle entirely.
This means you can enjoy a deep, warm soak without the constant fear of losing your balance.
Every home has different plumbing setups, which is why we customize each setup.
We look at your current pipes and water heater to ensure everything matches up perfectly.
You get a reliable, leak-free setup that fits your exact physical needs and bathroom layout.
Many homeowners worry that remodeling will tear their house apart for weeks on end.
Actually, our experienced crews usually finish the main placement in just one or two days.
This quick turnaround minimizes disruption so you can return to your normal routine fast.
Before we bring in the new airtight basin, we carefully extract your old porcelain or fiberglass tub.
We dispose of the heavy debris responsibly so you do not have to worry about cleanup.
Then, we inspect the subfloor for any hidden water damage or rot to ensure a solid foundation.
Once the area is clean, we align the new unit and hook up the specialized plumbing fixtures.
This includes installing fast-drain technology so you do not sit shivering while the water empties.
After that, we seal every joint with high-grade silicone to prevent any future moisture issues.
To help you compare the different options, we created a handy guide below.
| Feature | Standard Bath | Sealed-Door Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 20 inches | 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating | None (floor level) | Contoured, ADA-compliant seat |
| Safety Grab Bars | Must add separately | Built-in secure rails |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow release | Powered fast-drain options |

Selecting the right model involves looking at more than just the watertight door.
You also want to consider the interior grab bars which provide extra leverage when standing up.
These sturdy handles prevent slips by giving your hands a reliable place to grip at all times.
Another crucial element is the slip-resistant floor texture molded directly into the acrylic surface.
This rougher surface keeps your feet planted firmly even when soapy water covers the bottom.
As a result, you can move around inside the unit with total confidence and zero anxiety.
Do not forget about the built-in contoured seating that keeps you upright while you wash.
Sitting down while bathing reduces fatigue and eliminates the struggle of trying to push yourself up from floor level.
This ergonomic design provides unmatched physical support and luxury during your daily routine.
If you want extra relief, many models offer hydrotherapy jets that massage tired muscles.
These warm water streams target your lower back, legs, and feet to ease tension after a long day.
This feature turns a simple daily chore into a relaxing, spa-like experience right in your home.
Alternatively, air jets offer a gentler, bubbling sensation that stimulates circulation without being too intense.
You can customize the pressure settings to match your personal comfort level.
This customizable design ensures you get the exact type of physical relief you need most.
Some folks believe their current water heater cannot handle a larger, deeper soaking unit.
While these basins do hold more water, we evaluate your existing system during our initial visit.
If needed, we can suggest simple upgrades like a fast-heating unit to keep your water hot.
Another common misconception is that these safety units look clinical or resemble a hospital room.
Modern designs actually feature beautiful colors and sleek trim options that blend with any decor.
Your bathroom will look like a high-end retreat rather than a medical facility.
Finally, do not assume that your bathroom is simply too small for this type of upgrade.
We offer compact models designed specifically to fit into the exact footprint of a standard five-foot tub.
This smart sizing means we rarely have to tear down walls or reconfigure your entire room layout.
When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to visit your home in Lakemoor, Illinois.
We take precise measurements of your doorway, hallway, and bathroom to plan the delivery route.
This careful planning prevents unexpected surprises or scratched walls on the day of the install.
Next, we discuss your specific mobility challenges to recommend the perfect door style and seat height.

This hands-on approach ensures you know exactly what you are getting for your hard-earned money.
Lastly, we hand you a detailed, written estimate that breaks down all the labor and material costs.
We never use high-pressure sales tactics or hide surprise fees in the fine print.
You get honest, straightforward pricing so you can make the best decision for your family.
Delaying this upgrade only increases the risk of a dangerous fall in your current slippery tub.

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 Lakemoor.
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.
