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 standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain as we get older or deal with sore joints.
Suddenly, that daily shower becomes a scary task because of those high slippery ledges.
If you want to keep your independence and enjoy hot baths without the fear of falling, we have some great news for you.
Our team travels right to your home to help you redesign your bathroom for maximum safety.
We specialize in installing those specialized deep-soaking basins that feature a secure swing-open side entryway.
This means you can say goodbye to stepping over high barriers and hello to absolute relaxation and peace of mind.
Taking this step is not just about making your life easier today.
It actually helps you stay in your beloved home much longer without needing extra daily assistance.
We love helping neighbors in this beautiful coastal corner of Accomack County find the perfect fit for their homes.
You might wonder how a door on the side of a tub keeps all that water from flooding your bathroom floor.
These heavy-duty doors use a special pressure seal that locks tight when you close the handle.
As the water fills up, the pressure actually helps seal it even tighter so not a single drop leaks out on your rug.
Because you sit down on a built-in contoured bench, you do not have to lower yourself all the way to the floor.
This raised seating position makes it incredibly simple to stand back up when you finish your soak.
On top of that, these units drain out incredibly fast so you do not sit there shivering while the water empties.
We take care of every single step of the process from removing your old heavy ceramic tub to hooking up the new pipes.
Our local crew knows how to fit these modern handicap-accessible showers perfectly into your existing layout.
You will get a clean, functional setup that looks like a high-end spa once we finish our work.
Safety stands out as the most obvious reason to make this smart change.
Since wet tile floors cause thousands of home accidents every year, minimizing your slip risks keeps you out of the hospital.
Having a low threshold to step over makes a massive difference for your daily confidence.
Additionally, the therapeutic benefits of deep warm water can do wonders for your body.
If you struggle with arthritis or stiff muscles, the built-in water jets can gently massage those sore spots.
This lets you sleep much better at night because your body feels relaxed and completely pain-free.
We believe that your home should always feel like a sanctuary of wellness.
By adding sturdy grab bars and non-slip surfaces, we turn your bathroom into a zone of pure tranquility.
You will find yourself looking forward to your bath time instead of dreading it.
| Feature | Direct Benefit to You | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Low-step threshold | Prevents tripping hazards | Saves your knees and joints |
| Contoured heated seat | Keeps you warm while filling | No more shivering in the cold |
| Fast-drain technology | Empties water in under two minutes | Lets you exit the tub quickly |
| Safety grab bars | Provides extra leverage and balance | Gives you total stability |
Every bathroom has its own unique quirks and dimensions, especially in older homes around our historic region.
Sometimes we need to run new plumbing lines or adjust the hot water heater to handle the larger capacity.
Which is why we always inspect your current setup first to make sure everything will run smoothly.
You can choose between doors that swing inward to save space or doors that swing outward for easier wheelchair transfers.
We will sit down with you to discuss these options so you get exactly what fits your physical needs.
This personalized planning ensures that your new setup works perfectly for your daily routine.

Actually, our experienced crew can usually complete the entire swap in just one or two days.
We work efficiently because we know how important having an active bathroom is to your daily life.
First, we carefully protect your flooring and walls before we bring in any tools or materials.
Then, we disconnect and haul away your old bulky bathtub so you do not have to deal with disposal.
After that, we slide the new accessible unit into place and secure all the heavy-duty water lines.
Finally, we test every single jet, seal, and drain multiple times to guarantee flawless performance.
We want to make absolutely sure that your new system is completely watertight and safe before we head out.
This careful inspection process gives you total confidence in your new investment.

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 Metompkin.
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.
