Getting older or dealing with mobility issues shouldn't mean you have to give up your independence in the bathroom.
Actually, many folks dread bath time because stepping over that high barrier on a standard basin feels like climbing a small mountain.
We can help you transform your daily routine into a stress-free experience by replacing your old setup with a secure, low-threshold alternative.
This simple change prevents slips and restores your peace of mind instantly.
Our local team visits homes to assess your space and provide a completely free estimate for your project.
You will finally feel safe and relaxed in your own home again.
Whether you need to upgrade for yourself or a loved one, we make the process incredibly straightforward.
By choosing a specialized setup, you invest in long-term safety and personal freedom.
Let us handle the heavy lifting while you focus on reclaiming your daily comfort.
Think about how many accidents happen on wet, slippery bathroom tiles every single year.
Naturally, traditional deep-soaking basins present a major hazard because they require you to balance on one foot while stepping over a high wall.
Installing a specialized step-in bathing system removes this danger completely by utilizing a leak-proof door built right into the side.
This brilliant design allows you to walk right in, sit down on a raised contoured bench, and fill the water around you.
Which means you no longer have to struggle with lowering yourself all the way down to the floor level.
On top of that, these units feature quick-drain technology so you do not have to sit around freezing while the water empties out.
Our custom setups also include therapeutic water jets and heated seating options to soothe aching muscles.
This lets you enjoy a spa-like experience without ever leaving your home.
You get a beautiful, functional space that keeps you safe every single day.
First of all, every unit we install comes loaded with heavy-duty grab bars positioned exactly where you need them.
These sturdy handles give you extra leverage when standing up or sitting down.
Additionally, the slip-resistant textured floor keeps your feet firmly planted even when the surface is covered in soap suds.
Another incredible feature is the ultra-low entry threshold which sits just inches off the ground.
This layout virtually eliminates the risk of tripping as you enter or exit your bath.
You will immediately notice how much easier it is to move around without feeling anxious.
Since every bathroom has a unique layout, we offer several different sizes and configurations to match your home perfectly.
For example, we can install compact models that fit neatly into standard shower stalls or larger units designed for spacious master baths.
We even have outward-opening doors for wheelchair transfers to make life easier for individuals with severe mobility limitations.
Our team takes precise measurements of your current plumbing and walls during our initial visit.
This ensures a snug, waterproof fit that looks like it was built with the house.
You do not have to worry about messy drywall repairs or extensive remodeling delays.
To help you compare the different options, we have put together a quick breakdown of the most popular configurations we install:
| Model Type | Best For | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Fit | Replacing traditional alcove basins | No major bathroom layout changes needed |
| Wheelchair Accessible | Individuals with severe mobility limits | Outward-swinging door for easy transfers |
| Deep Soaker | Taller individuals wanting full immersion | Maximum water depth with upright seating |
You might be wondering how we manage to swap out your old system without turning your home into a construction zone for weeks.
Actually, our experienced crew can complete most of these specialized conversions in just one or two days.
We start by carefully removing your existing basin and inspecting the subfloor underneath for any hidden water damage.
Next, we reinforce the flooring to support the weight of the new heavy-duty acrylic unit.
After that, we run new plumbing lines and align the drains perfectly to prevent future leaks.
Our attention to detail ensures that your new setup functions flawlessly for decades to come.
Finally, we seal all the edges with high-grade, mold-resistant silicone and test every single feature before we leave.
We even clean up after ourselves so thoroughly that you won't even know we were there.
You are left with a pristine, ready-to-use sanctuary that looks absolutely spectacular.
Trying to tackle this type of project as a DIY job often leads to major headaches and expensive water damage.
This is because these specialized units require precise plumbing hookups, high-flow faucets, and sometimes even dedicated water heaters.
Our licensed professionals understand how to balance your home water pressure to ensure the basin fills up rapidly.
We also make sure your existing hot water tank can handle the capacity of a larger soaking unit.
If needed, we can suggest simple upgrades like tankless water heaters to guarantee you never run out of warm water.
This expert planning saves you from cold surprises down the road.
We only use premium non-porous acrylic shells that resist scratching, fading, and chipping over time.
Unlike cheap fiberglass alternatives, our materials do not harbor bacteria or yellow with age.
This means you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time enjoying a relaxing soak.
The polished surface wipes clean with a simple damp cloth and mild soap.
Which means your bathroom stays sparkling clean with minimal effort on your part.
You get a durable, low-maintenance solution that keeps its beautiful shine year after year.

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 McIntosh.
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.
