The South Bay Estates crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Miami-Dade 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.

Upgrading your bathroom with a specialized soaking vessel featuring a side-entry door can change your life forever. This simple addition removes the physical struggle of climbing over high walls, which means you gain total independence in your personal hygiene routine.
Imagine stepping into your own private spa without fearing a slippery floor or a high ledge. This upgrade brings genuine peace of mind while ensuring that you stay upright and steady. You deserve a bathroom that works for you every single day.
Living in the sunny region of Miami-Dade County means enjoying a beautiful lifestyle that you should maintain as long as possible. Many residents in this area, including those living in the peaceful neighborhoods of our specific locale with a population of 35,062, often face challenges with traditional basins. These older structures were built when design focused more on looks than on how people actually move.
By choosing a modern solution, you effectively stop worrying about the risk of falling. This transition provides a much higher level of physical ease and keeps your joints happy throughout the morning. You want a home that grows with you, which is exactly why this makes so much sense for your long-term plans.
Installing these units involves much more than just swapping out a sink or a toilet. Your contractor needs to handle plumbing adjustments to ensure that the rapid drain technology functions perfectly every time you finish your bath. This level of precision keeps the water flow consistent and prevents any accidental leaks that could damage your flooring.
Furthermore, the seal on the swinging door requires expert precision to remain water-tight for many years. You benefit from this because the system stays robust, holding water back until you decide it is time to exit. A professional approach means you never have to worry about maintenance headaches or water damage later on.
Working with a neighbor who knows the local area is always better than hiring a giant corporation from out of town. You get personalized attention and a clear understanding of the unique housing styles found in this specific zip code area. Our team respects your time and your property, ensuring that your house stays clean throughout the entire process.
Because we operate right here in this part of Florida, we understand the local building codes and the specific requirements for your home. This local knowledge saves you time during the permitting phase and ensures that everything meets the required standards. You walk away with a high-quality result that adds value to your property.
| Feature | Your Personal Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrotherapy jets | Soothe tired muscles after a long day | |
| Low entry threshold | Eliminate the risk of tripping while stepping inside | |
| Non-slip flooring | Keep your footing secure even when wet | |
| Fast drain system | Save time waiting for the water to disappear | |
| Built-in seat | Relax in a natural position without strain |
Beyond these technical features, you receive the benefit of someone who cares about the final outcome as much as you do. We take pride in our craft, which shows in every detail of the finished project. You deserve to see quality work that makes your daily life better and more pleasant.
Getting a professional estimate is the best way to understand how this change fits your specific budget and bathroom layout. We offer an assessment where we look at your current plumbing and space constraints to provide a transparent price. You get all the facts upfront, which means no nasty surprises when the work actually begins.
This is your opportunity to ask questions and see the various styles available for your unique space. Whether you need a specific color or a certain set of jets, we walk you through every single choice. You stay in control of the project from start to finish.
Investing in your home is essentially investing in your own daily contentment. While the median household income in some areas fluctuates, the value of a safe and accessible bathroom remains constant. You find that the extra time you save and the lack of stress pay for themselves very quickly.
You also gain a level of luxury that turns a basic necessity into a highlight of your evening. Imagine unwinding in warm water without any concerns about how you will climb out later. This sense of harmony is exactly what you get when you choose to upgrade your space.
Sometimes people worry that the installation will take forever and leave their house in a total mess. Let me be honest with you, it is construction, so there will be a little bit of dust for a few days. However, we take every step to protect your carpets and your sanity while we work.
We clean up as we go, which means you can still live in your house while we build your dream setup. You will hardly notice we are there, except for the fact that your new favorite room is finally taking shape. We prefer to keep things light and fun, so you might even hear us humming a tune while we work.
Trying to tackle this job on your own is a recipe for a very bad weekend, especially when dealing with heavy units and complex plumbing. You might save a few dollars at the start, but one small mistake with the seal could lead to a very expensive repair bill. It is much smarter to let someone who has done this hundreds of times take the lead.
You avoid the frustration of reading manual pages that make no sense to anyone. Instead, you sip your coffee and watch as a professional handles the heavy lifting and the tricky connections. You get the peace of mind that comes with knowing the job was done exactly right the first time.
Now is the perfect moment to reach out and schedule a time for a look at your bathroom. We keep our schedule flexible to ensure that we meet when it works best for your calendar. You just need to show us the space and tell us what you dream of having in that corner.
We bring the samples and the brochures to your door so you can touch the materials yourself. This hands-on approach helps you visualize exactly how your new setup will look against your existing tile and decor. You gain clarity and confidence before spending a single penny.
When you finish the project, you will look back and wonder why you waited so long to make the switch. Your bathroom becomes a place of complete bliss where you can wash away the heat of the Florida afternoon. This level of satisfaction is exactly what we aim for with every single client we serve.
You will love how the water feels and how simple it is to operate the door latch with one hand. Everything about this system is designed to provide maximum ease and total function. You deserve to have a home that supports you in every way possible.
If you want to know what it would cost to get this done in your specific house, we are ready to help. Our estimates are always free and come with absolutely no pressure to move forward. You get the information you need to make the right choice for your family and your budget.
Give yourself the gift of a better, safer, and more relaxing bathroom experience right now. We are standing by to offer our skills and our experience to turn your vision into a reality. You are just a quick conversation away from a completely new bathroom experience that you will enjoy for years to come.
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 South Bay Estates.
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.
