The Vivian crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Caddo Parish. 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.
(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.
Living in a house you love feels awesome until the old standard bathtub turns into a real hazard. So, fixing up your home to prevent nasty falls is a totally smart move. Getting a brand new secure bathing setup brings back your total peace of mind every day.
Furthermore, slipping on wet tile floors can happen to anybody regardless of their age. Actually, a lot of folks in our local area wait until an accident happens before making a change. You definitely do not want to wait for a dangerous fall to happen to you.
Therefore, replacing that old high step basin with a low entrance model changes everything. Consequently, you get to keep your independent living style without relying on family to help you clean up. It simply makes daily life way easier and much safer for everyone.
Basically, these modern setups have a leak proof door built right into the side wall. Thus, you just step right over a tiny low threshold instead of lifting your leg real high. That simple change reduces your chance of slipping to almost zero.
Additionally, inside the unit you get a high comfortable built in seat that feels great. As a result, sitting down and getting back up takes zero effort from your sore knees. You will literally wonder why you did not make this change years ago.
Moreover, rapid drain tech clears out all the water in just a couple minutes flat. Which means you will not sit there shivering cold while waiting to open the side door. It is all designed to keep you warm and cozy the whole time.
First off, the textured floor keeps your feet firmly planted even when things get super soapy. Frankly, standard fiberglass tubs get slippery like an ice rink during regular use. That non slip floor surface gives you immediate confidence with every step.
Next, sturdy stainless grab bars come already mounted directly to the interior walls. Naturally, having solid handholds right where you need them prevents balance loss completely. You get extra support while sitting down or standing back up.
On top of that, warm hydrotherapy jets can work absolute magic on your aching muscle joints. So, your daily routine turns into a relaxing spa experience right in your master bath. It feels incredible after a long day of working outdoors or around the yard.
| Standard Bath Basin | Accessible Deep Soak Unit |
|---|---|
| High wall you must step over | Ultra low threshold entry door |
| Slippery flat floor surface | Built in non slip texture bottom |
| Requires standing up or sitting on floor | High contoured bench seating built in |
| Dangerous grab reach points | Heavy duty integrated safety bars |
Now, you might think tearing out an old bathroom fixture takes forever and makes a huge mess. Surprisingly, a trained installer gets the main job completed much faster than you would guess. Most simple swap projects take just a short time to finish completely.
Besides that, we measure your exact door frames and plumbing locations before ordering any hardware. That way, everything fits into your existing space without destroying your walls or floor trim. We like keeping things clean and simple for every homeowner.
Hence, the whole plumbing connection process gets handled by guys who know local building codes by heart. In fact, correct pipe sizing ensures quick filling so you do not waste time waiting around. We hook up all the hot and cold lines tight and sealed.
Look, we all know money does not grow on trees around these parts anywhere. In a friendly town of about 3,500 people, keeping project costs reasonable is super important for local families. We totally respect your hard earned dollars and budget limits.
Granted, with the local median household income around $31,563, getting an honest fair price matters a lot. That is precisely why we provide completely free upfront estimates before any work starts. You get total transparency with no hidden fees popped on you later.
Actually, adding modern safe bathing units actually increases the overall resale value of your property. So, you are making a smart long term investment in your house while protecting your physical health right now. It is a win win situation for any smart property owner.
Indeed, every bathroom has its own weird layout quirks and space limitations to work around. Luckily, these specialized deep soaking models come in tons of different sizes and door opening options. Whether your space is tight or huge, there is a model made for it.
For example, inward swinging doors save a ton of space in smaller narrow bathrooms. Conversely, outward swinging doors give you extra room inside the basin if you need more space to turn around. We help you pick out the exact model that fits your layout best.
Furthermore, left or right hand plumbing setups mean we match your current drain location easily. Which saves you money since we do not have to move your main drain lines all over the place. Everything gets hooked up right where it already belongs.
Honestly, trying to install one of these heavy units by yourself is a total nightmare recipe. These heavy duty units weigh a lot more than standard basic plastic tub shells. Dropping one can ruin your floor or crack your expensive new fixture instantly.
Also, setting up electrical connections for hydro jets requires serious trade knowledge to keep things safe. Water and electricity do not mix well if somebody makes a stupid basic wiring mistake. Professionals make sure all safety breakers and ground wires get set right.
Ultimately, a bad leak behind your wall can rot out your wood subfloors without you even noticing. That is why professional sealing and heavy duty caulking is so critical during the job. We lock down every seam so water stays exactly where it belongs.
Significantly, living up here in the northern corner of Caddo Parish means knowing local housing styles real well. Older homes built around the 71082 area code often have unique original plumbing quirks that need special attention. We know how to handle those old pipes without breaking anything.
Besides, dealing with local weather changes means keeping your bathroom warm and comfortable year round is key. Our insulated basin walls help hold heat inside the water much longer than thin metal tubs. You get a hot relaxing soak without constantly running extra hot water.
Therefore, our team treats your residence with complete care and respect from start to finish. We lay down protective floor covers and clean up all our scrap materials before leaving. You just sit back and get ready to enjoy your new safe sanctuary.
Luckily, keeping your new acrylic unit shining bright does not take heavy scrubbing or harsh chemical cleaners. The smooth non porous surface stops soap scum and gross mildew from sticking to the walls. A quick wipe down with mild soap keeps it looking brand new forever.
In addition, the internal jet lines feature automatic purge cycles to blow out lingering water droplets. That prevents mold spores or weird smells from growing deep inside the water tubes. Your jets stay completely clean and sanitized after every single use.
Remember, regular simple care guarantees your specialized equipment lasts for decades without any annoying mechanical issues. It is super simple to keep up with, even if you hate doing housework. You spend way less time cleaning and more time relaxing.
Without a doubt, staying safe in your own home should always be your top physical priority. Why stress out every single time you need to take a simple shower or bath? Upgrading your space brings back your complete independence and removes daily worries.
So, reaching out to a friendly local installer is the best first move you can make today. We come right out to your house, check out your bathroom layout, and answer your questions. You get honest straightforward answers without any annoying high pressure sales tactics.
Ultimately, you deserve a safe space that offers pure ease and wonderful relaxation every day. Request your free estimate right now and take control of your home safety once and for all. We are ready to help you transform your bath into a real secure paradise.
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 Vivian.
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.
