Getting in and out of a standard bathing basin can feel like climbing a mountain as the years sneak up on us. Maybe you noticed a slip lately or just hate that cold draft while waiting for the deep basin to fill up. Fortunately, we can help you swap that old hazard for a secure, low-step alternative that brings back your independence.
This simple change keeps you safe in your own home for decades. Our team specializes in retrofitting bathrooms with these specialized watertight doors and built-in seats. You get to reclaim your peace of mind while enjoying a deeply relaxing, therapeutic soak every single day.
We believe everyone in Fayette County deserves a bathroom where they feel completely secure. That is why we offer an on-site consultation to look at your current setup. We will measure your space and give you an honest estimate without any high-pressure sales tactics.
Safety remains the primary reason most homeowners make this smart transition. Typical bathroom slips lead to serious injuries that can change your life in a split second. By choosing a system with a door that opens wide, you eliminate the need to balance on one wet foot while stepping over a high porcelain wall.
This layout lets you walk right in, sit down on a raised, slip-resistant bench, and seal the leak-proof door behind you. Because the threshold sits just inches off your bathroom floor, your risk of tripping drops to almost zero. On top of that, sturdy grab bars provide extra leverage whenever you stand up or sit down.
To help you compare the differences between standard setups and these secure alternatives, we put together a quick breakdown of features:
| Feature Details | Standard Basin Experience | Our Secure Low-Threshold System |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Threshold Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches high | Ultra-low 2 to 4 inches max |
| Seating Options | Flat floor with no support | Contoured, ADA-compliant raised bench |
| Water Depth | Very shallow unless you lay flat | Deep chest-high immersion for relaxation |
Naturally, your physical wellness benefits from this setup just as much as your personal safety. Deep warm water immersion relieves stubborn joint pain, boosts circulation, and soothes sore muscles. Which means you can sleep much better at night after a long, warm evening soak.
Every home is different, so we offer a wide variety of customization options to fit your lifestyle. For starters, you can choose between outward-swinging doors for maximum wheelchair accessibility or inward-swinging doors that save precious floor space. We will help you weigh these choices based on your mobility levels and bathroom layout.
Therapy jets can also turn your basic bathroom into a high-end personal spa. Air jets offer a gentle, bubbly massage that stimulates the skin, while hydrotherapy water jets target deep muscle tension in your lower back, legs, and feet. These features allow you to customize your bathing experience exactly the way you like it.
Additionally, fast-drain technology ensures you do not have to sit around shivering while waiting for the water to empty. Our advanced draining systems pull water out of the basin in under two minutes. This lets you open the door quickly and get on with your day without feeling cold.
Many folks worry that remodeling their bathroom will turn their home into a chaotic construction zone for weeks. However, our experienced local crew works quickly and cleanly to minimize any disruption to your daily routine. We often complete the entire removal and new placement process in just one to two days.
First, we carefully extract your old cast iron or acrylic basin without damaging your surrounding drywall or flooring. Then, we upgrade your existing plumbing lines to handle the new faucet fixtures and rapid drain systems. Finally, we slide the new heavy-duty fiberglass shell into place and seal every seam perfectly.
This careful process guarantees a leak-free fit that looks beautiful and matches your home decor. We also clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools. This leaves you with nothing but a pristine, ready-to-use sanctuary.

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 Luzerne.
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.
