If you need to make your bathroom safer and much more comfortable, a specialized step-in deep soaking system with a leak-proof door is the perfect home upgrade. Our local team visits your home to provide a completely free estimate for this life-changing bathroom transformation.
Getting in and out of a standard high-walled basin can feel like climbing a mountain as we get older or deal with stiff joints. This struggle often turns what should be a relaxing wind-down routine into a stressful, slippery chore that makes you feel anxious. By replacing that old hazard with a low-threshold entry unit, you instantly regain your peace of mind and your independence.
This smart home modification lets you simply open a secure side door, step over a tiny barrier of just a few inches, and sit down on a molded, slip-resistant seat. You do not have to lower yourself all the way to the floor anymore, which saves your knees from terrible strain. On top of that, these units fill up fast and drain quickly so you do not sit there shivering while waiting to get out.
Our dedicated crew handles the entire setup process from start to finish so you do not have to worry about a thing. We measure your existing space carefully, slide the new unit in, and hook up the plumbing with watertight seals. To get started on this hassle-free upgrade today, you can request a complimentary on-site evaluation from our friendly local technicians.
Living in our quiet corner of Michigan with a cozy population of under seven hundred folks means we truly value neighborly trust and honest work.

We serve everyone within the 48159 zip code area with pride, bringing top-tier craftsmanship right to your doorstep.
Because cold northern winters can make joint pain feel much worse, having a deep, warm soaking basin with built-in therapeutic jets is an absolute lifesaver. This specialized setup keeps your upper body warm while the water pressure gently massages your tired muscles. Which means you get a spa-like escape without ever leaving your house or risking a slip on wet tiles.
Our team understands the specific layout of homes in this lovely village, allowing us to complete most jobs much faster than big-box retail contractors. We treat your property with the utmost respect, keeping the workspace clean and tidy throughout the entire process. Here is a quick look at what you can expect from our premium services:
| Key Feature | Direct Daily Benefit |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low entry threshold | Eliminates the risk of tripping while entering |
| Contoured built-in seating | Allows you to bathe safely from a comfortable upright position |
| Heavy-duty grab bars | Provides solid handholds for extra stability |
| Fast-drain technology | Minimizes waiting time when you are ready to exit |
You might wonder how we fit such a robust, feature-rich unit into your existing bathroom footprint without tearing down all your walls. Actually, these clever systems are specifically designed to match the standard dimensions of your old traditional alcove basin. This smart design means we can usually complete the swap without needing to redesign your entire plumbing layout.
First, we carefully remove your old slippery tub and inspect the subfloor underneath to ensure there is no hidden water damage or mold. Next, we reinforce the floor if necessary, since a deeper basin filled with water weighs a bit more than a shallow standard one. After that, we align the new drainage pipes and slide the heavy-duty acrylic unit into its permanent place.
We then seal every single edge with commercial-grade silicone to prevent any future moisture leaks behind your drywall. This meticulous attention to detail ensures your walls stay dry and your home value remains protected for decades to come. To find out exactly how this process would work in your specific bathroom, you should contact us for a free estimate.
Every homeowner has unique physical needs, so we offer various configurations of handles, faucet placements, and handheld showerheads to suit you perfectly. This customization lets you control the water flow easily without having to bend over or twist your back uncomfortably. You can also choose between soothing air jets or heated water streams to maximize your relaxation.
We even offer color options that match your existing vanity and toilet, ensuring the new addition looks like a natural part of your home. This seamless integration boosts your property value while creating a beautiful, modern space you will love showing off to guests. Our local experts are ready to guide you through these choices during your free home consultation.

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 Maybee.
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.
