(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.
Every single day we take our daily routines for granted until a simple slip makes us realize how dangerous a slick bathroom floor can actually be.

By choosing a modern setup with a leak-proof side door, you no longer have to perform a dangerous balancing act just to get clean.
Which means you get to keep your privacy and stay in the home you love for many years to come.
Naturally, we understand that modifying your home is a big decision that requires some serious thought.
That is why we offer an on-site consultation to look at your current layout and discuss what fits your budget.
To get started today, you can easily request a free estimate from our friendly local crew.
When you first look at these heavy-duty systems, you will notice they are built very differently than standard manufactured aprons.
Specifically, they feature a thick marine-grade gelcoat or acrylic shell reinforced with a heavy steel frame underneath to prevent any flexing when filled with water.
This solid foundation ensures that the structure remains completely stable even under heavy daily use.
On top of that, the door seal utilizes a specialized pressure system that gets tighter as the water level rises inside.
This clever design prevents any scary leaks from ruining your subfloor or molding your drywall.
You can rest easy knowing our experienced team tests every single seal before we pack up our tools.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple breakdown of the main features you can choose:
| System Feature | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low entry threshold | No more lifting your legs over dangerous high ledges |
| Contoured heated seating | Keeps your upper body warm while the basin fills up |
| Rapid drainage technology | You do not have to sit shivering waiting for water to exit |
| Hydrotherapy jets | Gently massages sore muscles and helps poor circulation |
As you can see, every single component serves a very specific purpose to make your life easier.
Investing in this technology means you are choosing safety over constant worry.
We can walk you through these options during your home visit.
Many folks worry that this kind of remodel will turn their house into a messy construction zone for weeks.
Fortunately, our seasoned crew has got this down to a science and can usually wrap up the main placement within just one or two days.
First, we carefully extract your old slippery basin without damaging the surrounding wall studs or plumbing lines.
Next, we inspect the underlying wood to make sure there is no hidden rot from old undetected shower leaks.
If we find any soft spots, we repair them immediately so your new heavy unit sits on a rock-solid floor.
This attention to detail prevents future sagging and keeps the door perfectly aligned.
After that, we hook up the new heavy-duty brass drains and flexible stainless steel water connectors.
Because these basins hold more water than standard ones, we often widen the drain pipe to a larger diameter.
This smart upgrade ensures the water swooshes away incredibly fast when you are done relaxing.
While you might love tackling weekend projects, this specific job is definitely not something you want to try alone.
For starters, these specialized units are incredibly heavy and require precise leveling so the door latch seals correctly.
Even a tiny millimeter of misalignment can cause slow water leaks that eventually ruin your floor joists.
Furthermore, managing the complex plumbing lines requires seasoned hands to avoid water pressure drops in the rest of your house.
Our team knows exactly how to route the hot and cold lines to maximize water flow.
Which means your new basin fills up much quicker, saving you from sitting in the cold.
Additionally, we handle all the heavy lifting and disposal of your old heavy porcelain fixtures.
You do not have to worry about renting a truck or hauling heavy debris to the local dump.
We leave your home sparkling clean and ready for your very first relaxing soak.
Imagine never having to ask for help just to take a simple shower or wash your hair.
This specialized setup gives you back your dignity by allowing you to bathe completely independently.
The built-in grab bars and slip-resistant floors provide extra stability every single step of the way.
On top of that, the deep soaking design lets you submerge your aching joints much deeper than a shallow standard basin ever could.
This soothing warmth works wonders on stiff knees, sore backs, and arthritis pain.
You get a spa-like experience right in the privacy of your own home.
Every person has different mobility levels, which is why we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all solution.
For example, some folks prefer a wider door that swings outward to make wheelchair transfers much easier.
Others might want an inward-swinging door that saves precious floor space in a tight bathroom layout.
During our visit, we will sit down and discuss your specific reach and height preferences.
We can position the hand-held shower wand and the thermostatic control valves exactly where you can reach them without straining.
This custom placement ensures you never have to stretch uncomfortably while seated.
Indeed, we also look at your water heater capacity to ensure it can handle the larger volume of water.
If needed, we can suggest simple upgrades like a fast heating system so you never run out of warm water.
We want your new setup to perform flawlessly from day one.

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 Tacoma.
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.
