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.
Looking to fix up your bath space for a safer soak today? Our team comes right to your house to give you a quick free estimate on a complete upgrade.
Now, living up in Custer County brings breathtaking mountain views every single morning. However, as the cold winds sweep through our tiny town of under four hundred folks, taking a normal bath can turn into a tricky chore. Slipping on slick tiles is no fun for anybody. Plus, stepping over a tall porcelain wall gets harder every year.
Indeed, a modified deep-soaking basin makes daily washing so much safer for everyone. You just open the side door and walk right inside without lifting your leg high. Because of this clever design, you can enjoy warm water without worrying about nasty falls. On top of that, built-in grab bars give you total balance.
| Standard Tub Features | Upgraded Accessible Basin Features |
|---|---|
| High ledge you must step over | Low threshold side entry door |
| Slick bottom surfaces | Textured floor with safety grips |
| Deep water hard to reach | Contoured seat at chair height |
Consequently, homes around the 81252 area often have traditional set-ups that just do not fit growing physical needs. Many folks working hard on local ranches want real comfort for aching muscles after long days outside. Warm water therapy works wonders on sore back muscles and tight knees.
Besides that, local median household incomes here sit around twenty-eight thousand dollars, so spending money wisely matters to everyone. You want a home improvement job that lasts for decades without breaking your bank account. That is why our crew provides clear pricing right away. We bring sample materials to your living room so you can feel the heavy-duty quality yourself.
Therefore, custom aquatic units are tailored to fit your exact bathroom footprint. We remove your old cast iron unit and slide the new accessible setup right into the same spot. This saves tons of cash on plumbing changes. As a result, you get a fancy spa feeling without paying crazy high remodel bills.
Furthermore, soft water jets massage your sore joints while you sit upright comfortably. You do not have to struggle to pull yourself back up from a flat floor anymore. The tall chair-height bench supports your back fully.
Additionally, fast-draining technology ensures you do not sit around freezing while the water goes away. Old setups leave you shivering for ten minutes while waiting for the pump to empty out. Modern fast-drain valves clear the whole vessel in under two minutes flat. This keeps you warm and happy every single time you bathe.
Granted, putting one of these giant deep basins into a home takes proper training and heavy lifting tools. The plumbing lines must line up perfectly to prevent sneaky water leaks inside your floor joists. Also, modern water heaters need to be checked to make sure they hold enough hot water for a full fill.
So, our friendly local technicians measure your doorways first thing when we show up. We make sure the whole unit fits smoothly through your narrow hallways without scratching your paint or walls. Then, we connect heavy-duty flexible pipes and rock-solid brass fittings.
Next, setting up built-in heating elements keeps the water warm as long as you want to soak. You will not need to keep adding hot water from the faucet every five minutes. The heated pump keeps the water at your target temperature automatically.
Interestingly, some folks worry that a door built into the side of a basin will leak water all over their floor. Modern silicone seals prevent any drops from slipping through onto your bathroom floor rugs. In fact, these tough seals hold water tight using the natural water pressure from inside the tub.
Moreover, dual-latch door handles are super easy to flip even if your hands suffer from bad arthritis. You just push the lever down and the lock snaps tight without force. It is as simple as shutting a modern car door.
Specifically, we carry many sizes ranging from tight spaces to wider luxury models for larger folks. Some designs include heated backrests that warm up before the water even touches your skin. Others feature air jets that blow gentle bubbles to calm sensitive skin conditions.
To help you compare, check out this breakdown of popular features homeowners pick for their space:
| Model Option | Key Benefit | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Compact Soaker | Fits tight historic bathrooms | Small space layouts |
| Hydrotherapy Jet Unit | Targeted jet streams for pain | Joint stiffness relief |
| Dual System Spa | Air bubbles and water jets combined | Ultimate relaxation |
Likewise, textured flooring along the bottom of the basin stops dangerous slips while standing up to wash your hair. Handheld shower wands hang right next to your seat so you reach everything easily. You do not have to stretch or twist your neck out of place.
Honestly, running water pipes in high elevation mountain zones takes special tricks that out-of-town companies miss. Cold winters can freeze outer walls quickly if pipes sit too close to uninsulated siding. We know how to insulate your lines so they stay working great all year round.
By the way, my cousin tried installing one of these units himself a few years back to save a couple bucks. He forgot to check his home electrical panel capacity and ended up popping fuses every time he turned the jets on. Save yourself the giant headache and let trained hands handle the heavy electrical wiring and structural bracing.
Thus, getting a local pro to look over your bathroom floor supports is super important. These units hold lots of water and weigh a ton when fully filled up. Our team checks your floor joists beneath the floor to make sure everything stays super sturdy.
Fortunately, most of our home jobs finish up in just one or two days maximum. We pack up all our trash, sweep your floor clean, and haul away your crusty old tub for free. You will not have to live in a messy construction zone for weeks on end.
Which means you can get back to your normal daily routine without long delays or loud noise. We treat your house like our own clean home, using protective floor runners in all pathways.
To begin, setting up an estimate appointment takes only a quick phone call or quick online form submission. We drive right out to your property anywhere in the valley without charging any trip fees.
Later, we measure your current setup, inspect your hot water tank, and show you our full catalog of options. You get a clear, written estimate with no hidden fees or pushy sales tricks.
Finally, taking action today keeps you living independently in your beloved mountain home for years to come. Do not wait for a bad slip or fall to make a change to your bathroom. Request your free quote right now and take the first step toward safe, relaxing soaks.
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 Westcliffe.
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.
