This specialized home upgrade involves removing your old, high-walled basin and replacing it with a custom-engineered unit featuring a secure, watertight swinging door. Because these units are designed with a very low entry threshold, you only have to lift your foot a couple of inches to step inside. Once you are safely positioned on the built-in, contoured seat, you close the leak-proof door and fill the deep basin with warm, soothing water.
To help you understand the vast differences between these setups and traditional fixtures, we have put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Traditional Basin | Our Accessible Units |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low (under 4 inches) |
| Seating | None (must sit on the floor) | Ergonomic, chair-height built-in seat | Slippery flat surfaces only | Non-slip floors, grab bars, quick drains |
On top of that, these advanced systems utilize heavy-duty commercial seals that prevent a single drop of water from escaping onto your floor. This means you get a much deeper soak than a standard model can ever provide, keeping your upper body warm and fully submerged. Which means you can finally experience the therapeutic benefits of deep-water soaking without any of the physical struggle.
First and foremost, installing one of these specialized units significantly reduces the risk of falling in the bathroom. Since the wet environment of a bathroom is statistically the most hazardous area in any household, adding heavy-duty safety grab bars and slip-resistant flooring keeps you stable at all times. This peace of mind is absolutely priceless, especially if you live alone or care for aging relatives.
In addition to safety, the therapeutic warmth of a deep soak does wonders for stiff joints, arthritis, and sore muscles. Because you sit upright on a comfortable, raised bench, you do not need to struggle to stand up when you are finished. Instead, you simply let our fast-draining technology empty the basin quickly, swing the door open, and step out onto dry ground with complete confidence.
This investment also adds long-term value to your property while ensuring you can age in place gracefully. Many families discover that making this change prevents them from having to relocate to assisted living facilities prematurely. Indeed, keeping your dignity and self-reliance in your beloved home is the greatest benefit of all.
To customize your experience further, you can choose models equipped with gentle air and water jets that target key muscle groups. These warm jets stimulate circulation and relieve tension throughout your lower back, hips, and legs. This lets you enjoy a spa-like massage every single day right in your own home.
Additionally, we offer heated backrests that keep you warm while the basin fills with water. This clever feature eliminates that chilly waiting period that often happens with deep-volume systems. It is all about maximizing your personal coziness and making your daily bath something you truly look forward to.
Nobody wants to sit shivering in a wet basin waiting for the water to slowly gurgle down the pipe. That is why our modern units feature heavy-duty dual-drain systems that empty the basin in a fraction of the time. This rapid evacuation means you can open the door and get back to your day almost immediately.
Furthermore, these systems are engineered to prevent backflow and plumbing clogs down the line. Our technicians ensure your home plumbing lines are perfectly aligned to support this rapid water movement. You get a seamless, efficient system that works flawlessly every single time you use it.
You might see DIY videos online, but retrofitting a heavy, leak-proof bathing system requires serious trade expertise. Our local crew handles everything from structural floor reinforcement to precise plumbing alignments and watertight sealing. Because these units hold a massive volume of water, they are incredibly heavy and require a perfectly level foundation to prevent structural sagging.
We take great pride in serving the 8,966 residents living across the local ZIP code of 87420. Given that the median household income here is $37,568, we work hard to provide highly competitive, transparent pricing that fits your budget. We respect your hard-earned money, which is why we never use pushy sales tactics or hide surprise fees in our contracts.
Our dedicated team arrives on time, protects your floors with drop cloths, and cleans up every speck of dust before we leave. We treat your home in the majestic state of New Mexico with the exact same care we would show our own grandmother's house. You can trust our local reputation for honest work, solid communication, and beautiful, long-lasting results.
Standard home plumbing is not always ready for the high-volume water demands of these specialized units. Our experienced crew evaluates your water heater capacity and pipe diameters to ensure you always have enough hot water. This proactive approach prevents cold baths and low water pressure issues later on.
Besides the pipes, we also handle any electrical upgrades needed for heated seats or air jets. We route everything safely away from water lines in strict compliance with all local building codes. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees your system remains safe and operational for decades to come.
Every bathroom has its own unique quirks, tight corners, and structural challenges. We carefully measure your doorway clearances and existing floor joists to ensure a perfect fit without requiring a full, expensive remodel. This clever planning saves you thousands of dollars while still delivering a gorgeous, custom look.
We also offer beautiful wall surround panels that match your new system and seal out moisture. These low-maintenance materials eliminate the need for scrubbing dirty tile grout lines. Which means you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your peaceful, warm soak.
Taking the first step toward a safer home is incredibly easy with our friendly, local team. We will visit your home, examine your current bathroom layout, and discuss your physical needs to recommend the absolute best setup for your lifestyle. We believe in educating our customers rather than pressuring them, so you can make your decision with complete confidence.
We provide a detailed, written breakdown of all costs during this visit so there are never any unpleasant surprises down the road. This completely free estimate gives you all the facts you need to plan your home improvement project. Let us help you regain your independence and bring peace of mind back to your daily routine.

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 Shiprock.
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.
