The Lumber City crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Telfair 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 morning should start with a feeling of pure ease instead of worry.
So if you are struggling with high steps and slippery surfaces in your home, getting a total bathroom upgrade will totally change your daily routine.
Because we bring top notch equipment right to your door, taking a nice deep soak becomes simple and safe again.
Honestly, falling on wet tiles is scary for anyone at any age.
Which means replacing that old deep basin with a low entry side door model gives you back your full independence.
Furthermore, this home modification boosts your home value while making your daily routine completely stress free.
Actually, taking out an old cast iron basin is a massive job that takes real muscle and patience.
Because those old units weigh a ton, our hard working local crew carefully cuts them into smaller pieces to protect your walls.
On top of that, we check all your hidden floor joists to guarantee everything stays super sturdy for years down the road.
Naturally, these heavy duty deep water basins require much larger drain lines to clear out all that water quickly.
So we often upgrade your older pipes to high flow two inch lines, which prevents you from sitting around shivering while it empties.
Besides that, installing a fast fill faucet set ensures your warm sanctuary is ready in just a couple minutes flat.
Plus, if you want relaxing air jets or soothing heated seats, your home needs the right dedicated wiring.
Which is why we hook up ground fault protected circuits that keep everything operating smoothly and totally safe from any shock risk.
To be clear, we handle all the tricky stuff so you just kick back and enjoy the deep bubbles.
Surely, every single homeowner has different preferences when it comes to sitting down for a relaxing soak.
That is why we offer low step heights along with slip resistant textured floors to make entering totally effortless.
Consequently, you get to experience supreme luxury and supreme snugness without ever worrying about slipping over high walls again.
| Special Feature | Everyday Household Benefit |
|---|---|
| Low Threshold Entry Door | No more lifting your legs over dangerous high edges. |
| Fast Drain Technology | Lets you step out quickly without waiting around cold. |
| Built In Heated Seating | Keeps your back nice and warm before the water even fills. |
| Hydrotherapy Air Jets | Soothes tough aches and sore muscles while you sit back. |
In addition, sitting down and standing back up should never strain your knees or lower back.
For this reason, our specialized high rise contoured benches act just like a normal living room chair, making standing up totally effortless.
In fact, many folks tell us this single feature makes their entire morning feel ten times easier.
Living right here down in Telfair County means dealing with unique sticky weather and older timber construction styles.
Since our small town of about 1230 people sits nestled in the 31549 area code, local homes often need customized carpentry tricks.
For example, floor frames near major water ways like the Ocmulgee River often shift over decades, needing extra leveling before setting down a heavy basin.
Given that our regional median household income sits around $27,621, spending wisely matters to every single family in our district.
Additionally, adding safety features lets folks stay in their beloved family homes forever instead of moving into expensive assisted living facilities.
Mind you, local building rules around South Georgia require strict attention to proper venting and water pressure levels.
Because our crew works right down the road in Georgia, we pull every permit and schedule inspectors without causing you any headache.
That way, your entire project stays totally legal, safe, and up to high quality standards from start to finish.
First off, we begin every single project by walking into your space and taking precise laser measurements of your current layout.
Because narrow doorways can sometimes make hauling in giant acrylic shells tricky, we carefully plan the entire entry route through your house.
Then, we lay down heavy protective tarps across your carpets so not a single drop of mud gets tracked inside.
Next up, our strong crew disconnects the main water lines and carefully pulls out your existing tub or shower setup.
Afterwards, we inspect the underlying wood studs for any hidden water damage, mold, or rotting boards that need quick repairs.
Once the wall subframe looks rock solid, we build a heavy duty level base that can hold hundreds of pounds easily.
Then, we slide your brand new wide door basin into place, leveling it meticulously across every single corner.
Which means your sealing gaskets make an airtight and watertight lock that will never leak a single drop onto your floor.
Over and above that, we install marine grade silicone beads that keep water inside the basin where it belongs.
Honestly, standard bathtubs were never designed with long term safety or easy entry in mind for growing families.
So taking a look at how these specialized systems compare to traditional units helps show why the swap makes sense.
| Product Feature | Traditional Bathtub | Modern Accessible Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Step In Height | Usually 15 to 20 inches high | Ultra low 2 to 4 inch step |
| Seating Style | Flat on the slippery floor | Raised upright chair height |
| Safety Handrails | None built in standard | Multiple integrated grab bars |
| Soaking Depth | Shallow water level | Deep chest high water level |
Look, taking proactive measures before a serious fall occurs keeps you living comfortably on your own terms.
Because slippery wet enamel surfaces cause thousands of emergency room visits every year, changing out your setup protects your overall future.
Therefore, choosing slip resistant textures and built in grab bars turns your washroom into an absolute fortress of safety.
Actually, warm water streams work wonders for stiff knees, tight lower backs, and tired feet after long days.
So opting for hydrotherapy nozzles helps massage away daily stress without having to buy expensive spa memberships.
Which means you get world class relaxation right in the middle of your own private home.
To be honest, trying to install one of these huge units as a weekend DIY project usually ends in total disaster.
Because one misaligned pipe can cause massive hidden leaks inside your floorboards, hiring experienced pros saves thousands in long term repairs.
Furthermore, our hardworking guys bring specialized tools and years of real world experience to get the job done right in just one or two days.
Definitely, hookups for high capacity drains and quick filling faucets are way more complex than standard sink plumbing.
So if you do not align the main seal perfectly, water will seep straight down into your home subfloor and ruin your ceiling below.
Instead, let our crew handle the heavy lifting while you just relax and think about your first warm soak.
Clearly, piece of mind comes from knowing your home improvement is backed by solid warranties and real local workers.
Which is why we only use heavy duty fiberglass reinforced acrylic shells that never chip, crack, or yellow over time.
Plus, our local team stays standing by to help if you ever need a quick checkup or a simple tune up later on.
Fortunately, taking care of your modern soaking basin does not require buying crazy expensive chemical cleaners.
Because the non porous acrylic surfaces repel soap scum, a simple wipe down with mild soap and warm water keeps it sparkling bright.
On top of that, running the air jet system for a couple minutes once a week keeps the internal lines super dry and fresh.
Mind you, the flexible rubber gasket on your entry door is the single most important part for preventing room leaks.
So keeping that silicone seal clean from hair and soap buildup guarantees an absolute watertight closing lock every single time.
Additionally, leaving the door unlatched while not in use stops the thick rubber seal from getting squished or worn out early.
Sometimes, mineral deposits from local well water can slow down the tiny nozzle outlets over long periods of time.
However, flushing your jet system with a quick splash of natural white vinegar keeps all your water lines flowing totally free.
This lets you enjoy maximum massage jet power every single time you sit down for a soothing bath.
Finally, you do not have to live with high step tubs or dangerous slippery tiles inside your home anymore.
So taking action today brings total safety, supreme cozy luxury, and real peace of mind right back to your daily routine.
Because our friendly crew treats your home like our very own, you can trust us to deliver absolute excellence from start to finish.

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 Lumber City.
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.
