The Moorhead crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Clay 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 hear about someone slipping on a wet floor. Because of this danger, we help you transform your space into a secure haven where you can bathe without any fear. This lets you regain your independence and enjoy your daily routine once again.
Naturally, slipping while stepping over a high barrier represents one of the biggest hazards in any home. By choosing a low-threshold option, you completely eliminate that awkward climb. Which means you can look forward to a relaxing soak instead of worrying about losing your balance.
On top of that, these specialized deep-soaking units offer incredible therapeutic benefits. Since the water level reaches your chest, you get total muscle relief. Our local crew comes directly to your home in Clay County to measure your space and find the perfect match for your needs.
First of all, you have to look at the door configuration. This is because some people prefer an outward-swinging door for easier wheelchair transfers, while others like inward-swinging doors to save precious bathroom floor space. Our team helps you weigh these options so you get the best setup for your layout.
Next, you should consider the advanced features like hydrotherapy jets and heated seating surfaces. These additions do not just feel amazing, but they actually help soothe arthritis and chronic joint pain. We make sure you understand the difference between air jets and water jets before you make any decisions.
Finally, we must talk about the rapid drainage systems that are available today. Because nobody wants to sit in a cooling tub waiting for the water to empty, these fast-drain pumps are absolute lifesavers. We install high-capacity drains that clear the basin in under two minutes flat.
To help you compare the main options, we put together this quick reference guide:
| Feature Type | Key Benefit | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Low Entry Step | Prevents trips and falls | Anyone with limited mobility |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Relieves sore muscles | Arthritis and chronic pain sufferers |
| Heated Backrest | Keeps you warm while filling | People sensitive to cold drafty rooms |
| Fast Drain Technology | No shivering waiting for drainage | Quick and efficient exit from the basin |
Before any work starts, we perform a thorough inspection of your existing plumbing pipes. This matters because older homes often have outdated supply lines that cannot handle the water volume required for a deep soaking basin. We upgrade those connections to ensure your new system fills quickly and safely.
Consequently, we also check your hot water heater capacity during this initial visit. Since these deep units hold a lot more water than standard shallow basins, you might need a larger tank or a tankless heater. We give you honest advice on whether your current system can keep up with the demand.
Additionally, our skilled technicians handle the heavy lifting of removing your old cast iron or fiberglass structure. This job requires careful precision so we do not damage your surrounding drywall or flooring. We clean up every speck of dust before we leave your home.
Immediately after the old basin is gone, we assess the subfloor to make sure it can support the immense weight of a full water tank. If we find any rotted wood or water damage, we repair those areas right away. This guarantees your new heavy-duty unit stays level and structurally sound for decades.
Besides the woodwork, we often run a dedicated electrical line to power the pumps and heated elements. This is a critical safety step to prevent your household breakers from tripping. Our experienced installers handle all of this according to local safety codes.
Honestly, trying to tackle this type of heavy-duty plumbing upgrade yourself usually leads to major headaches. This is because a single loose connection behind a sealed wall can cause thousands of dollars in hidden mold and structural rot. Our licensed professionals carry full insurance so you do not have to stress about mistakes.
Furthermore, proper sealing around the custom door gaskets requires specialized knowledge and tools. If the door does not align perfectly, water will leak all over your bathroom floor. We test the seal multiple times under full water pressure before we consider the job done.
As a result of our training, we also know how to properly pitch the drain lines for maximum gravity flow. This prevents standing water from sitting in the pipes and causing nasty odors. You get a clean, functional, and sanitary bathing area without lifting a finger.
In addition to the main unit, we look at the entire bathroom layout to make it as safe as possible. This means we can add secure grab bars along the walls where you need them most. We position these support handles based on your specific height and reach.
Subsequently, we can discuss slip-resistant flooring options to replace old, slick tiles. This provides extra traction when you step out of your warm bath. We want to create a seamless transition from the dry floor to the wet zone.

First, we sit down with you to discuss your personal physical needs and budget goals. This conversation helps us narrow down the endless catalog of shapes and sizes to find your perfect fit. We never push you into features you do not actually need or want.
Then, we take precise laser measurements of your current bathroom layout. This allows us to determine if we need to widen your doorway or reconfigure the vanity to fit the new unit. You receive a clear, upfront plan with no hidden surprises down the road.
Finally, we provide you with a written, no-obligation price estimate for the entire project. This quote includes all labor, materials, permits, and the disposal of your old fixture. We believe in total transparency so you can make an informed decision for your household.

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 Moorhead.
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.
