The Messex crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Washington 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.
If you are struggling to climb over that high barrier of your standard bath, you deserve a safer and much more relaxing way to wash.
Fortunately, a specialized team of local home improvement installers can visit your property to evaluate your space. We provide a completely free estimate for your project to help you make the best decision.
When you choose to replace your old, risky tub with a secure alternative, you immediately reclaim your personal independence. This smart change removes the daily anxiety of slipping on wet porcelain.
Because of this simple upgrade, you will feel confident every single time you step into the water. Our team loves seeing the relief on people's faces when they realize they can bathe without any assistance.
Besides the safety aspect, these modern units offer incredible therapeutic benefits. Think about warm hydrotherapy jets soothing your sore muscles after a long day of work.
To help you understand the options, we put together a quick comparison of the main features you can choose.
| Feature | Practical Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-step entry | Prevents trips and painful falls when entering |
| Contoured built-in seat | Lets you sit comfortably without needing to lower yourself to the floor |
| Fast drain technology | Minimizes the time you spend waiting for the water to empty |
Naturally, you might worry about the mess and disruption of a major home renovation project. However, our experienced crew works efficiently to complete most of these specialized conversions in just one or two days.
This means you do not have to live in a construction zone for weeks on end. We take great care to protect your floors and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
On the downside, these specialized watertight systems do require a bit of patience during use. Since you must enter the unit and close the sealed door before turning on the water, you will have to stand or sit inside while it fills up.
Likewise, you have to wait for the water to drain completely before you can open the door and step out. Fortunately, we install high-speed drainage pumps to make this wait as short as possible.
To ensure maximum security, these accessible bathing systems come loaded with grab bars and slip-resistant floors. These safety measures give you multiple sturdy points of contact as you move around.
Additionally, the leak-proof silicone seals on the inward-opening doors prevent any water from damaging your subfloor. You will never have to worry about rot or mold growing under your bathroom tiles.
As a bonus, the hand-held shower wand allows you to wash your hair and rinse off with absolute ease. This setup gives you total control over where the water goes, keeping your face and eyes completely dry.
Since we operate right here in Washington County, we understand the specific home styles and plumbing setups of our local community. We regularly travel out to rural locations, including the tiny historic railroad community of Messex.
Whether you live in a cozy farmhouse or a modern home in Colorado, our team knows how to adapt to your existing pipe configuration. We always ensure our work complies with all local building codes and standards.
Although the local population here in this corner of the USA is incredibly small, our commitment to serving every single homeowner remains massive. We treat every client like our closest neighbor, regardless of how remote your property might be.
According to regional data, the median household income in this beautiful agricultural region reflects a community of hard-working, practical people who value quality craftsmanship. We respect your hard-earned money by offering fair pricing and transparent, upfront contracts.
If your home falls within the local ZIP code area, we are more than happy to drive out to your property for a detailed, pressure-free consultation.
During our visit, we look closely at your current water heater capacity to ensure it can handle the volume of a larger soaking basin. This step is crucial because nobody wants a lukewarm bath due to an undersized tank.
Consequently, we might suggest a fast-heating upgrade if your current system is not quite up to the task. We lay out all these details clearly in your written estimate so you face zero surprises later.
Furthermore, we measure your doorways and hallways to plan the exact path our installers will take. This careful planning prevents any accidental scuffs on your walls during the delivery process.
Once we finish our assessment, we present you with a clear, itemized breakdown of the labor and material costs. You can take all the time you need to review it, without any pushy sales tactics from us.
By taking action now, you protect your health and ensure you can stay in your beloved home for many years to come. This upgrade is not just about home improvement, but rather about preserving your dignity and daily peace of mind.
We invite you to reach out to us to schedule your complimentary, on-site assessment. Let us help you transform your bathroom into a secure, stress-free sanctuary where you can truly relax.
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 Messex.
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.
