Getting in and out of a standard deep basin can feel like climbing a mountain as the years slip by.
This is why many homeowners choose to replace their old high-walled basins with a secure, low-step alternative that lets you bathe without fear of slipping.
Our local team specializes in setting up these accessible bathing systems so you can keep your independence right at home.
If you live in Saint Louis County, you probably know how important it is to keep your home safe as you age.
By choosing a professional setup, you avoid the messy DIY mistakes that lead to water damage or electrical issues.
We offer an on-site consultation to help you figure out exactly how to upgrade your space with minimal hassle.
Planning this kind of home improvement requires a good look at your current plumbing setup.
Our skilled crew inspects your pipes and water heater first because these special basins often require more hot water than a standard tub.
This means we make sure your system can handle the fast-filling and quick-draining demands before any major work starts.
After we check the pipes, we carefully remove your old heavy fixture without damaging your bathroom walls.
This lets us slide the new low-threshold unit into place and connect the secure sealing drains.
You will love how the leak-proof door system keeps every drop of water inside the unit while you soak in peace.
To help you compare your options, here is a quick breakdown of what to expect during the upgrade:
| Project Phase | Key Benefits for You | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| In-home assessment | Custom fit for your layout | About 1 hour |
| Old tub removal | No heavy lifting for you | Half a day |
| Plumbing and electrical integration | Worry-free water flow and jets | 1 to 2 days |
| Final testing and sealing | No leaks and total peace of mind | A few hours |
Trying to install one of these heavy, door-equipped tubs yourself can quickly turn into a total nightmare.
Because these units are incredibly bulky, they require precise leveling so the door seals up perfectly.
Our trained crew handles the heavy lifting and ensures the door alignment is spot on to prevent future leaks.
On top of that, we wrap up the project by showing you exactly how to operate the heated backrests and rapid-drain features.
This hands-on demonstration gives you total confidence when you use your upgraded bathroom for the very first time.
You will immediately notice how much easier it is to sit down comfortably without straining your knees or back.
Every home in this beautiful Missouri community has its own unique style and space limitations.
Which is why we offer various sizes and grab bar configurations to match your physical needs.
You can choose therapeutic water jets or air bubblers to soothe sore muscles after a long day of work.
Additionally, we can install handheld showerheads that let you wash your hair while staying safely seated.
This simple addition turns a standard bath into a luxurious, spa-like experience right in your own home.
You get to enjoy maximum coziness without ever worrying about losing your balance on a wet floor.
Water leaks can ruin your subflooring and cause mold to grow behind your drywall before you even notice it.
Fortunately, our certified installers use heavy-duty commercial sealants and precise leveling techniques to keep water where it belongs.
This meticulous attention to detail protects your home equity and saves you from costly repairs down the road.
Moreover, we pressure-test the entire drainage system before we declare the job finished.
This ensures that the fast-draining technology empties the basin quickly so you do not have to sit there shivering while waiting to open the door.
You get a warm, seamless, and completely dry bathing experience every single time.

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 Sunset Hills.
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.
