The Mattoon crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Coles 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 use our bathrooms without thinking about the hidden dangers lurking on those wet, slippery tiled floors.
But a simple slip can change everything in a split second.
Which is why getting a specialized low-threshold step-in bathing unit set up in your home is the ultimate way to stay safe while keeping your independence.
Naturally you want to feel secure in your own home as you get older or deal with mobility challenges.
This smart home upgrade replaces your old, risky high-walled basin with a secure system featuring a leak-proof door and built-in seating.
Because of this modern setup, you can finally stop worrying about losing your balance while trying to climb over a dangerous barrier just to clean yourself.
Fortunately our dedicated team of local home modification pros can visit your residence to evaluate your space and give you an estimate.
We understand the unique layout of older homes in the region and how to retrofit them properly.
That means you get a customized fit without any stressful guesswork or expensive structural surprises during the setup process.
First you should know that these advanced setups are designed to fit directly into the exact footprint of your existing standard basin.
This clever design saves you from massive demolition bills.
On top of that, the heavy-duty door seal uses the natural pressure of the water to keep every single drop inside the unit where it belongs.
Besides the main door, you also get a heated seating area and strategically placed grab bars that match your physical needs.
These key features prevent slips and let you sit down comfortably while enjoying a warm soak.
As a result of this ergonomic design, your daily hygiene routine becomes a peaceful escape rather than a stressful physical chore.
| Standard Feature | Concrete Benefit For You |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Entry Threshold | Eliminates the need to lift your legs high, preventing dangerous falls. |
| Contoured Built-In Seat | Allows you to bathe from a safe, supported sitting position. |
| Dual Drainage System | Empties the water twice as fast so you do not sit there shivering. |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Soothes aching muscles and improves circulation in your legs. |
Additionally we must talk about the fast-draining technology because nobody likes waiting around in a cold tub for the water to empty out.
Specialized high-speed drains pull the water out of the basin in under two minutes.
Which means you can open the door and step out onto your dry bath mat without catching a chill.
Now you might be wondering about the different styles and sizes available for your specific layout.
Some models focus purely on simple soaking, while others come loaded with advanced air jets and warm water therapeutic systems.
Choosing the right one depends on your personal mobility goals and how you like to unwind after a long day.
To help you decide, we look at your current physical challenges and what would make your life easiest.
For example, if you struggle with arthritis, air jets can help stimulate blood flow and relieve joint pain.
This custom approach ensures you do not pay for extra features you will never actually use.
Clearly, budget is another major factor that every homeowner thinks about when planning home improvements.
Since we live in a wonderful community in Coles County with a median household income of $39,303, we know that keeping costs reasonable is incredibly important.
That is why we offer various options to match different budgets, ensuring safety is never out of reach for our neighbors.
Before any work starts, our local crew carefully measures your doorways and bathroom dimensions to plan the path of entry.
Sometimes we have to adjust old plumbing pipes to accommodate the new high-volume faucets.
This professional preparation guarantees that your new system functions flawlessly from the very first day you use it.
Our experienced installers also look at your hot water heater to make sure it can handle the capacity of your new deep-soaking system.
If your current water heater is too small, we can suggest simple upgrades like a tankless booster.
This prevents you from running out of warm water halfway through your relaxing bath.
Typically the entire physical transformation takes just one to two days to complete from start to finish.
We work quickly and cleanly because we know how disruptive home construction can be.
This means we protect your floors, clean up our mess, and leave your bathroom looking better than we found it.
Once the unit is securely in place, we run a series of tests to ensure the plumbing is completely watertight.
We also walk you through how to use the control panel and explain the door locking mechanism.
By doing this, we make sure you feel totally confident and safe before we pack up our tools and leave.
Living here in East Central Illinois means we experience freezing cold winters that can make joint pain feel much worse.

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 Mattoon.
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.
