The Portia crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Lawrence 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.
Getting in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees start acting up.
Fortunately, a specialized low-threshold deep soaking basin designed for easy entry offers the ultimate solution to keep your independence intact.
Which means you can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips on wet bathroom tiles and start enjoying a peaceful, secure soak again.
This smart home upgrade replaces your old high-walled basin with a secure, watertight door unit.
By eliminating the need to lift your legs over a high barrier, you drastically reduce the risk of falling.
Our local team visits your home to assess your space and provide a written estimate for the upgrade.
Choosing to retrofit your washing area is a major decision that instantly boosts your peace of mind.
Indeed, having a secure seat and built-in grab bars makes all the difference during your daily routine.
That is why we focus on delivering quick, hassle-free setups that match your exact layout and physical needs.
First, we need to look at your existing plumbing to ensure everything aligns perfectly with the new system.
This lets you avoid unexpected leaks or drainage issues down the road because we check every single pipe beforehand.
On top of that, we always measure your doorways to guarantee the new heavy-duty basin fits through without scratching your walls.
Next, we carefully remove your outdated ceramic or fiberglass tub and haul it away so you do not have to lift a finger.
Which means our crew handles the messy demolition work while keeping your home as clean as possible.
Then, we level the subfloor to create a rock-solid foundation for your new high-sided secure bath unit.
| Project Phase | Key Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Site Assessment | No surprises during setup |
| Old Basin Removal | Zero heavy lifting on your part | Plumbing Alignment | Fast draining and reliable hot water |
| Final Testing | A leak-free, fully secure system |
After securing the base, our skilled team connects the specialized fast-drain plumbing fixtures and seals the watertight door.
This ensures you will not be sitting around waiting for twenty minutes for the warm water to empty out after your bath.
Finally, we run a complete wet test to verify that every single seal holds back the water pressure flawlessly.
Living in a quiet, close-knit community of just under seven hundred residents means neighbors look out for each other.
Because of this, we take great pride in helping local folks stay in their beloved family homes longer without needing assisted living.
We love serving the people of Portia, a wonderful Arkansas town where cozy living meets traditional Southern charm.
With a local median household income of about $36,964, we know that every hard-earned dollar needs to go a long way.
Therefore, we focus on providing highly durable, affordable bathroom safety upgrades that add real value to your property.
If you live in the 72457 area, we can easily drive right over to your house to discuss your remodeling goals.
Many older homes in this beautiful region feature outdated bathroom layouts with slick cast-iron tubs.
Replacing those ancient hazards with a modern, low-step entry system makes your daily life incredibly simple and stress-free.
Naturally, you will feel a massive wave of relief knowing that a safe, warm soak is always waiting for you.
An integrated heated seating surface keeps your upper body warm while the basin fills up with soothing hot water.
This means you will never shiver while waiting for the water level to rise to your chest.
In addition to that, strategically placed safety bars offer sturdy handholds so you can stand up with total confidence.
Non-slip textured flooring prevents your feet from sliding around even when the surface is soapy and wet.
This lets you move around freely inside the unit without fearing a sudden loss of balance.
Best of all, the easy-to-reach dial controls allow you to adjust the water temperature without bending over or straining your back.
Targeted water jets gently massage your aching muscles and sore joints after a long day of working in the yard.
This helps soothe arthritis pain and stiffness, letting you sleep much better at night.
Also, the deep immersion design allows your body to feel virtually weightless, taking the pressure off your lower back.
We install top-tier systems equipped with ozone purification to keep the internal water lines clean and sanitary.
This reduces the amount of scrubbing you have to do, giving you more time to relax.
With our premium setups, keeping your private home spa clean becomes a simple, effortless task.
Every home has its own unique footprint, which is why we offer a wide variety of sizes and door configurations.
For instance, a space-saving outward-swinging door model works wonders in tight spaces where every inch of floor counts.
On the other hand, an inward-swinging door provides extra sealing power because the water pressure naturally keeps the door shut tight.
We also offer extra-wide options with wheelchair-accessible transfer seats for individuals with limited mobility.
This allows you or your loved one to slide directly from a wheelchair onto the comfortable bath seat.
Whatever your current physical situation looks like, we can customize a unit that perfectly matches your daily routine.
To help you decide, our friendly technician will walk you through the pros and cons of each specific layout.
This ensures you choose a setup that fits your budget while delivering the exact level of safety you deserve.
After we look at your bathroom, we will hand you a detailed, written estimate with zero pressure to buy.

We treat your home with the utmost respect by laying down protective floor runners and cleaning up every speck of dust.
Which means we leave your bathroom sparkling clean, ready for you to enjoy your very first secure soak.

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 Portia.
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.
