The Portland crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Multnomah 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.

Getting in and out of a standard bathing basin can feel like climbing a wet mountain as the years slip by.
Fortunately, we specialize in swapping out those slippery high-walled hazards for secure, low-step-in bathing units that let you reclaim your independence.
If you live in the Rose City and want to enjoy a warm, deep soak without the fear of slipping, we are here to help you make that happen.
Stepping over a massive porcelain barrier is not just annoying, it is plain dangerous.
Actually, most home accidents happen right there in the washroom.
Which is why our team of local installers focuses on putting in those specialized, leak-proof doors that let you walk right in, sit down, and relax.
You do not have to give up your warm baths just because your knees or back are acting up.
By choosing a modern, sealed-door soaking system, you get the deep water you want without the acrobatic stunts.
Let us take a look at how this simple upgrade can completely change your daily routine.
Maybe you are wondering how these heavy-duty watertight chambers actually function in a normal home.
Well, they feature a thick, swing-in or swing-out door that seals shut with a heavy marine-grade rubber gasket.
Once you shut the latch, you can fill the basin up to your chest while sitting comfortably on a raised, built-in seat.
This smart setup eliminates the need to lower yourself all the way down to the cold floor of a standard tub.
Instead, you remain upright on a slip-resistant surface, surrounded by sturdy grab bars that give you perfect leverage.
Because of this design, your risk of losing your balance drops to almost zero.
Additionally, these setups come with high-speed drains so you do not have to sit there shivering when you are done.
They pull the water out of the basin in a fraction of the time a normal drain takes.
This means you can open the door and step out onto your bath mat quickly and safely.
Making this change brings an immediate sense of relief to both you and your family.
No one wants to worry about their parents or themselves slipping on wet tile while home alone.
Installing a secure bathing system gives everyone peace of mind, which is worth every single penny.
On top of safety, the therapeutic perks of deep soaking are absolutely incredible for sore muscles.
Warm water therapy helps ease arthritis pain and relaxes stiff joints after a long day of walking around town.
To show you how the features match up with real-life perks, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Special Feature | Daily Life Benefit |
|---|---|
| Low entry threshold | No more lifting your legs over dangerous high walls |
| Contoured built-in seating | Sit upright comfortably without straining your back |
| Internal grab bars | Gives you solid handholds for maximum stability |
| Thick rubber pressure seals | Prevents water from leaking out onto your bathroom floor |
Of course, we want to make sure you get the exact layout that fits your specific bathroom size.
Our local experts know how to slide these units perfectly into your existing alcove space.
This saves you from having to do a massive, expensive remodel of your entire home.
Every home has its own quirks, especially the older Craftsman bungalows and mid-century gems around Multnomah County.
With a local population of 639,387 residents, we see a huge variety of plumbing setups every single week.
Whether you are living on a modest budget near the median household income of $65,740 or looking to splurge on a luxury setup, there is an option for you.
Some folks prefer a basic model that focuses purely on safety and simple accessibility.
Others want to turn their washroom into a personal spa with warm air jets that massage their legs.
Whatever your preference, our crew knows how to navigate the tight hallways and unique plumbing lines of local homes.
We take pride in serving all the classic neighborhoods across ZIP codes like 97201, 97202, 97203, and 97204.
Since we live and work right here in the local area, we can show up quickly to look at your space.
We will measure your doorways and pipes to give you an accurate picture of what the job will take.
Let us be completely honest about how this project goes down in your home.
Removing an old cast iron or steel tub is a heavy, noisy job that requires real muscle and patience.
That is why having trained professionals handle the lifting and the haul-away is so important for your sanity.
Once we clear out the old unit, we inspect the subfloor for any hidden water damage or rot.
Fixing these issues early prevents mold from growing under your shiny new bathing system down the road.
After we prep the base, we carefully hook up the new drain lines and slide the new unit into place.
We then seal every single edge with high-grade silicone to ensure no moisture sneaks behind your walls.
This process usually takes just a couple of days, meaning your life is not disrupted for weeks on end.
You will be back to enjoying your relaxing, worry-free baths before you know it.
Thinking about home upgrades can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to figure out the costs.
That is why we never pressure you into making a quick decision on the spot.
We believe in giving you honest, straightforward information so you can make the best choice for your household.
When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to come out and look at your bathroom in person.
We look at your current plumbing, measure the walkways, and discuss what features will make your life easier.
This lets us give you a detailed, written estimate completely free of charge.
There is absolutely no risk in having us take a look and show you what is possible.
We love helping our neighbors stay safe, comfortable, and independent in the homes they love.

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 Portland.
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.
