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 joint pain.
Fortunately, a specialized low-threshold bathing unit with a leak-proof door offers the perfect solution to keep you independent at home.
Our dedicated local team helps you transition to a safer setup by handling the entire process from start to finish.
Choosing to retrofit your bathroom is a big decision that instantly improves your daily peace of mind.
This smart upgrade prevents slips and falls, which are the leading cause of household injuries among seniors.

You might wonder how much hassle is involved in swapping out your old high-walled basin.
Actually, our skilled crew makes the swap incredibly quick and painless, often finishing the job in just a couple of days.
Which means you will be soaking in warm water and enjoying deep relaxation before you know it.
A senior-friendly deep soaking system is designed with a very low entry point so you do not have to lift your legs over a high barrier.
These units feature built-in contoured seating, slip-resistant floors, and fast-draining technology to keep you warm until the water empties.
On top of that, heavy-duty grab bars provide sturdy handholds so you always feel secure while moving around.
To help you compare the different styles available, we have put together a quick guide on the most popular configurations.
| Unit Type | Key Feature | Primary Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Soaker Model | Deep water depth | Excellent therapeutic heat retention |
| Hydrotherapy System | Adjustable water jets | Massages sore muscles and stiff joints |
| Aero therapy System | Gentle air bubbles | Softly stimulates skin and aids circulation |
| Bariatric Unit | Extra-wide door and seat | Accommodates larger frames with ease |
Selecting the right model depends entirely on your physical needs and the layout of your current space.
For instance, a hydrotherapy model works wonders if you suffer from chronic arthritis or lower back pain.
This lets you target specific muscle groups with warm, pressurized water right in your own home.
On the other hand, a simple soaking unit might be all you need if you just want a safe way to clean up.
Because we customize every single project, you can choose the exact features that match your budget and lifestyle.
This personalized approach ensures you never pay for bells and whistles that you do not actually plan to use.
First, we start with a thorough assessment of your existing bathroom plumbing and floor joists to ensure everything is structurally sound.
Our experts measure your doorways and hallways to guarantee the new unit fits through your house without damaging your walls.
This careful planning stage prevents any unpleasant surprises once the physical labor begins.
Next, we carefully extract your old cast iron or acrylic tub and dispose of it so you do not have to deal with the heavy trash.
After that, we inspect the subfloor for any hidden water damage or mold that might have accumulated over the decades.
Fixing these issues immediately guarantees your new system rests on a solid, dry foundation that will last for generations.
Once the area is clean, we run new plumbing lines and align the drain to match the high-speed exit system of your new basin.
Then, our technicians slide the new unit into place, level it perfectly, and seal the watertight door system with industrial-grade gaskets.
Finally, we connect the faucet fixtures and test the door seal multiple times to ensure not a single drop of water leaks onto your floor.
Living in this beautiful community of 8,065 residents means we treat every customer like a neighbor because you literally are one.

An integrated heated backrest keeps your upper body warm while the basin fills up with soothing hot water.
This clever feature prevents you from catching a chill during those first few minutes of your bath.
Which means you can sit back, relax, and let the warmth envelop your body without any shivering.
Our units also feature low-threshold entry steps that are only a few inches off the ground.
This design allows you to step inside naturally, just like walking into another room, rather than balancing on one leg.
Consequently, the fear of falling vanishes, and you regain the freedom to bathe whenever you want without needing assistance.
Adding a premium accessible bathing system actually increases the overall market value of your property.
Many home buyers look for accessible features because they plan to age in place or have relatives with mobility challenges.
So, this modification is not just an expense... it is a smart long-term investment in your real estate asset.
More importantly, the emotional benefits of regaining your privacy and dignity in the bathroom are absolutely priceless.
You will no longer feel anxious about bathing or have to rely on family members to help you wash.
This newfound freedom brings an incredible sense of relief to both you and your loved ones who worry about your safety.

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 Old Jefferson.
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.
