The Lithonia crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over DeKalb 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 take our daily routines for granted until a simple slip reminds us how fragile our independence can be in the bathroom. If you or your loved ones feel a bit anxious every time you have to climb over that high barrier of a standard basin, you are definitely not alone. Fortunately, our team helps folks regain their peace of mind by setting up specialized, low-threshold bathing units right in their homes. You will finally enjoy a deep, warm soak without the terrifying fear of losing your footing on wet tile.
That is why we offer an in-home assessment to help you figure out the best way to modify your space. Since we operate right here in this lovely part of DeKalb County, we understand the local housing styles and the unique needs of our community members. By choosing to work with us, you get a dedicated partner who handles everything from measuring your current layout to the final cleanup. You can easily request your free estimate today to take the first step toward a safer home.
This means you do not have to worry about pushy sales tactics or complicated jargon when you invite us over. We pride ourselves on clear communication and honest pricing that fits your actual budget. Our main goal is to make sure you feel entirely secure and satisfied with your new setup.
To help you understand how these systems work, we should look at the incredible engineering behind these leak-proof entry systems. Each unit features a heavy-duty door seal that utilizes the natural pressure of the water to keep every drop inside the basin where it belongs. This smart design allows you to step inside over an incredibly low threshold that is only a few inches high. Once you step inside, you simply close the secure latch and turn on the faucets to fill the basin while sitting down on a raised, molded seat.
Which means you no longer have to balance on one slippery foot while trying to lower yourself down to the floor level of a traditional basin. These specialized systems also come with fast-draining technology so you do not have to sit around shivering while waiting for the water to empty out. On top of that, built-in grab bars and slip-resistant floors provide extra touchpoints of stability for your hands and feet. You get to control the entire experience with easy-to-reach dial controls and extendable handheld showerheads.
Because we care about the longevity of your investment, we only install units made from high-gloss, non-porous acrylic that resists mold and grime. This makes cleaning incredibly simple since you do not have to get down on your knees to scrub hard-to-reach corners. Let us take a quick look at how these specialized units compare to what you probably have in your home right now:
| Safety Features | Standard Bathing Basin | Our Accessible Units |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Threshold Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches high | Ultra-low step of 2 to 5 inches |
| Seating Options | None, must sit on the floor | Contoured, chair-height built-in seat |
| Safety Handrails | None, must install aftermarket bars | Integrated, ADA-compliant grab bars |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow gravity drain | High-speed powered drain system |
Now, you might wonder what the actual process looks like when we show up at your doorstep to start the project. First, we carefully evaluate your existing plumbing lines to ensure they can handle the water flow required for your new luxury setup. Sometimes older homes need a quick upgrade to the supply lines, which our experienced crew can easily manage on the spot. This lets you avoid hiring multiple contractors because we handle the plumbing, the structural framing, and the finishing touches all by ourselves.
By focusing on complete transparency, we make sure you know exactly what to expect regarding the timeline and the overall cost before we turn a single wrench. We know that many of our neighbors in the local ZIP codes of 30038 and 30058 live on fixed incomes, so we work hard to keep our rates highly competitive. In fact, our service area covers the entire local community of 2,445 residents, where the median household income sits around $36,705 annually. We treat every home with the utmost respect, as if we were working in our own grandmother's house.
This attention to detail means we always use protective drop cloths to shield your floors from dust and debris during the installation process. We do not believe in leaving a mess behind for you to clean up after we pack up our tools. Our crew sweeps, vacuums, and sanitizes the entire work area so your new bathroom is ready for immediate use.
When you decide to make this upgrade, you are not just buying a piece of bathroom equipment; you are investing in your long-term independence. Many folks find that they can continue living in their beloved family homes for years longer because they removed the primary hazard of falling. This saves you an incredible amount of money compared to the astronomical costs of assisted living facilities or regular in-home care nurses. You get to enjoy the privacy of your own home while taking care of your personal hygiene with dignity.
Another fantastic benefit is the soothing relief that deep, warm water provides for tired muscles and stiff joints after a long day of moving around. The built-in seating allows you to relax completely without worrying about how you will lift yourself back up to a standing position. We can even install advanced hydrotherapy jets that target your back, legs, and feet with gentle, warm air bubbles. This turns a simple daily necessity into a spa-like escape right in the comfort of your own home.
To make sure everything fits perfectly, we customize the surround walls of your new unit to match your existing bathroom decor. Whether you prefer a modern tile look or a classic solid color, we have options that will make your space look absolutely beautiful. You do not have to sacrifice style to achieve ultimate safety and accessibility.
Perhaps you are worried that remodeling your bathroom will take weeks and turn your entire household upside down. Fortunately, our highly trained crew has perfected this process down to a science, often completing the entire swap in just one or two days. We start by carefully removing your old, outdated tub and inspecting the subfloor underneath for any hidden water damage or rot. If we find any soft spots in the wood, we repair them immediately to create a rock-solid foundation for your new heavy-duty unit.
After preparing the base, we slide the new unit into place and connect it to your existing drain and water supply lines. We run multiple tests to ensure every single seal is completely watertight and that the door latches perfectly without any resistance. Once the plumbing is secure, we install the wall panels and seal all the edges with premium, mold-resistant silicone. This meticulous process guarantees that you will never have to worry about water leaking behind your walls and causing structural damage.
Finally, we walk you through every single feature of your new system so you feel completely confident using it for the first time. We will show you how to operate the door latch, how to use the hand sprayer, and how to maintain the acrylic finish so it stays shiny for years. Our job is not done until you feel 100% comfortable with how your new system operates.
If you are ready to stop worrying about bathroom slips and start enjoying your baths again, we are here to help you make it happen. Our friendly team is always ready to answer your questions, discuss your budget, and help you choose the perfect model for your specific needs. Since we provide no-obligation quotes, you have absolutely nothing to lose by having us come out and take a look.

Simply reach out to us today to schedule your consultation with one of our local home accessibility experts. We will visit your home in Lithonia, Georgia, measure your bathroom layout, and help you design a space that brings back your independence. Do not wait for an accidental fall to make you wish you had taken action sooner. Let us help you create a safer, more relaxing bathroom experience today!
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 Lithonia.
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.
