The Mount Hope crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Roane 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 need to make your bathroom safer and way more comfortable without losing your independence, we have the perfect setup for your home. Our local team comes right to your house to check out your space and give you an estimate. You can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips on wet tiles and start enjoying a relaxing, stress-free soak again.
First of all, navigating a high barrier just to take a simple bath gets downright scary as the years roll by. Honestly, nobody wants to risk a nasty fall on those hard porcelain surfaces when they are just trying to clean up. This is where our specialized team steps in to replace that old, hazardous basin with a modern, low-threshold door model that you can just step right into.
Suddenly, you do not have to lift your legs up high or balance on one slippery foot anymore because our easy-access entryways keep your feet planted safely on the floor. Which means you get to keep your privacy and your dignity while taking care of your daily hygiene. On top of that, these sealed-door setups let you sit down on a raised, slip-resistant seat instead of trying to lower yourself all the way to the cold ground.
Actually, we focus on making this transition as smooth as possible for homeowners in this beautiful mountain state. We understand the local housing styles in the area, from historic family homes to cozy modern cottages. By choosing a local team, you get real people who treat you like family and know exactly how to handle the unique plumbing quirks of older West Virginia residences.
Now, you might be wondering how we actually swap out your old system for one of these watertight, accessible units. We start by carefully removing your existing setup, taking great care not to mess up your walls or your pipes. This lets us inspect the subfloor underneath to make sure there is no hidden water damage or mold hiding out there.
After we clear the space, our crew installs the new heavy-duty unit with its leak-proof door seal and integrated safety grab bars. Naturally, we handle all the heavy lifting and precise plumbing connections so you do not have to worry about a single leak. This hassle-free process ensures that your investment stands the test of time and keeps you safe for decades.
To help you understand how this upgrade compares to a standard bathroom setup, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Standard Basin Setup | Our Accessible Model |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches high | Very low, usually under 4 inches |
| Seating Area | None, you must sit on the floor | Built-in, ADA-compliant raised bench |
| Safety Features | Slippery surfaces, no built-in bars | Grab bars, non-slip floor, leak-proof door |
| Drainage System | Standard slow drain | Fast-drain technology for quick exit |
Consequently, working with a team that actually lives nearby makes a massive difference in your overall experience. We do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics or rushing you into a decision that you are not ready for. Instead, we sit down with you, listen to your specific mobility needs, and figure out the absolute best fit for your budget.
Specifically, we serve the wonderful community located within Fayette County, which is surrounded by beautiful scenic views and rich history. Although some folks might confuse our location with places in Roane County because of similar naming histories, we know every corner of this specific 25880 and 25888 ZIP code zone like the back of our hand. With a local population of around 1,185 residents, we take pride in helping our neighbors live better, safer lives.
Because the median household income here sits around $27,031, we know that every single dollar counts for your family. That is why we keep our pricing fair, transparent, and completely honest without any hidden fees tacked on at the end.
Besides the obvious safety benefits, these deep-soak units offer incredible physical relief for aching muscles and stiff joints. When you submerge your body in warm water, the built-in therapeutic jets target your lower back, legs, and feet. This targeted massage action helps soothe arthritis pain and improves your circulation after a long day of moving around.
Moreover, you do not have to freeze while waiting for the water to drain out of the basin thanks to our advanced fast-drain technology. Older models used to make people sit shivering for ten minutes, but our systems empty out incredibly fast. This means you can open the door, step out safely, and wrap yourself in a warm towel without getting chilled.
Naturally, no two bathrooms are exactly alike, which is why we offer custom fitting options for every home we visit. Whether you have a tiny master bath or a spacious guest restroom, we can find a model that slips right into your current layout. This flexibility saves you from having to do a massive, expensive full-room remodel just to get the safety you need.
Furthermore, our high-quality materials resist mold, mildew, and tough water stains, making clean-up a breeze. You will not have to scrub on your hands and knees anymore because a simple wipe-down keeps the surface looking brand new. This low-maintenance aspect is a huge relief for anyone who struggles with back pain or limited reach.
At this point, you might be thinking about the next step but feel a bit overwhelmed by the logistics. Fortunately, we make the entire process incredibly straightforward and stress-free from start to finish. All you have to do is reach out to us, and we will schedule a convenient time to visit your home.
During our visit, we will measure your bathroom, check out your plumbing system, and explain all your options in plain English. We will give you a written estimate that details every single cost, so you know exactly what to expect. There is absolutely no obligation to buy, so you can take all the time you need to make up your mind.

Let us help you regain your peace of mind and turn your daily bath back into a relaxing, painless ritual.

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 Mount Hope.
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.
