The Mars Hill crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Madison 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 regular washbasin can turn into a nightmare if your joints do not want to cooperate anymore. You really deserve a bathing space that offers total ease and makes every single day feel like a breeze for your tired muscles.
Choosing a special bathing unit with a swinging door means you stop worrying about lifting your legs over a high ledge. This simple change brings you immense peace of mind because you lower the chance of slipping or falling while trying to get clean.
Because you value your independence, having a unit that features a low entry point is a total game changer. It means you walk right in without needing help from anyone else to manage your morning routine.
When you decide to install one of these units in your home, you invest in your own future longevity. Most people find that the added features like non-slip floors and grab bars provide the perfect sense of relief during their daily soak.
Putting in a new unit requires a solid understanding of how your existing plumbing works behind those bathroom walls. Since we know our way around the pipes in Madison County, we make sure the water pressure remains steady and strong after the switch.
Connecting the drainage system correctly prevents any unwanted leaks that could ruin your subfloor or cause mold issues. This precision work keeps your home dry and ensures your new equipment functions exactly how the manufacturer intended it to perform.
Because every house in this area has its own unique quirks, we always check the electrical wiring before we start. Having a qualified professional look at the outlets ensures you stay safe while using the built-in whirlpool jets or heaters.
| Feature | Primary Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low step entry | Prevents dangerous trips | |
| Built-in seating | Improves physical support | |
| Handheld showerhead | Makes rinsing much easier | |
| Fast drain technology | Reduces wait times significantly |
Some folks think that upgrading their washroom takes weeks of messy construction that disrupts their entire life. However, we usually finish the heavy lifting in a short time so you can get back to your normal schedule without any major headaches.
Another worry involves the price tag, but remember that the value you add to your house stays with the property. Think of it as a long-term upgrade that pays you back in daily convenience and fewer worries about potential accidents.
Many people also assume these units look industrial or plain compared to standard soaking tubs. Actually, you can find models that offer great visual appeal and match the existing decor of your private sanctuary perfectly.
Being part of a tight-knit place like this mountain town with its population of 2,746 people is pretty special. We understand that residents here appreciate honest work and fair prices that respect the local median household income of $47,125.
Whether you live near the main campus or further out toward the rural routes of 28754, we show up on time and ready to work. Our commitment to the people of North Carolina drives us to deliver quality results on every single project we handle.
Because we know you want to keep your spending on track, we provide a free estimate so you know the full cost upfront. There are no surprise fees or hidden charges when we finish the job because we value transparency above everything else.
First, we remove your old tub carefully so we do not damage your tile or surrounding walls. This preparation phase allows us to inspect the area for any hidden rot that might have been hiding under the old unit for years.
Next, we level the floor perfectly to ensure the new basin sits flat and does not wiggle while you use it. Getting this step right makes sure the water drains properly without leaving puddles that could cause mildew to grow later on.
Finally, we install the faucet fixtures and test the seals multiple times before we call the job finished. We want to be 100% sure that every connection holds tight so you can enjoy your first bath with total confidence.
Putting off important house repairs often leads to more expensive problems if a pipe starts leaking or the floor rots away. By addressing your mobility needs today, you solve a potential crisis before it even has the chance to happen.
You deserve a space that feels like a retreat from the world instead of a place that scares you. Our team brings the experience needed to transform your bathroom into a safe haven that serves you well for many years to come.
Taking that first step is easy when you have a professional who listens to your specific concerns. Reach out to us today to schedule your free estimate and see how much better your morning routine can really be.
Maintenance of these units is remarkably straightforward once you know the basic steps for cleaning the jets and surface. We always leave you with a quick guide so you know exactly how to keep your investment looking brand new.
Since we source only high-quality materials, you should not expect to deal with constant repairs or part replacements. This durability is the hallmark of a good installation that focuses on quality components rather than the cheapest stuff on the market.
If you ever have a question after we leave, you can just call us for a follow-up visit. We stand by our work because we live and work in the same region, and our reputation matters more than just finishing a single project.
Perhaps you want a model that features deep soaking capabilities for your sore back muscles. Or maybe you prioritize a smaller unit that saves space while still providing the safety features you need to stay active.
We walk you through every option available to ensure you get the right fit for your body type. No one should feel cramped or uncomfortable in their own home, which is why we measure everything twice before ordering your unit.
This focus on your personal requirements makes a world of difference in your daily satisfaction. Let us handle the technical details while you think about the quiet, peaceful moments you will spend relaxing in your new private soak.
Making your house more accessible is the smartest way to ensure you can stay in the place you love for as long as possible. You should never feel like you have to move away just because your bathroom setup no longer works for you.
When you contact us for that free estimate, you take control of your environment and invest in your own future. We are ready to help you navigate the process from the very first question until the final wipe down of your new space.
Every project we touch benefits from our local knowledge and our desire to do things the right way the first time. Join the many satisfied neighbors who have already reclaimed their independence and improved their home with our professional help.
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 Mars Hill.
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.
