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.
You deserve to feel completely safe when you take a warm bath in your own home. Sadly, traditional deep basins often become dangerous obstacles as we get older or deal with mobility challenges. By choosing to upgrade your bathing area with a secure door-entry basin, you instantly eliminate the scary slip hazards of stepping over high tub walls.
This simple change brings back the joy of a relaxing soak without any of the anxiety. Our local team visits your home to assess your space and helps you select the perfect setup for your physical needs. We believe in honest work, which is why we offer a completely free estimate to get you started on this life-changing home improvement.
Getting your peace of mind back is easier than you think when you work with experienced local installers. We handle everything from pulling out your old high-walled tub to sealing the very last joint of your new leak-proof model. You will finally be able to sit down comfortably and let the warm water wash away your daily aches.
When you decide to transition to a safe-entry bathing system, the setup process requires careful attention to your home's existing pipes. These specialized units feature a heavy-duty door that seals shut to hold back dozens of gallons of water. Because of this unique design, our crew must ensure your bathroom floor is perfectly level to prevent any future structural shifting.
This means we inspect your floor joists and reinforce them if we find any signs of aging wood. On top of that, we must align the new drain system with your current plumbing layout to guarantee fast water removal. Nobody wants to sit shivering in a wet stall waiting for the water to drain, so we prioritize high-flow drainage setups.
To give you a better idea of what these projects involve, let us look at the main technical aspects we handle during the process.
| Installation Step | What We Do | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Old Basin Extraction | We carefully remove your old standard tub and dispose of it safely. | You get a clean slate without lifting a finger or dealing with heavy trash. |
| Plumbing Alignment | We update the drains and install fast-fill faucet valves. | Your new system fills quickly and drains in minutes so you stay warm. |
| Surround Matching | We seal the walls with waterproof panels that match your decor. | Your bathroom stays dry and looks beautiful for years to come. |
Working with a team that knows your neck of the woods makes a massive difference in the quality of your project. Our crew understands the specific housing stock in the local region, where many homes have older layouts with narrow doorways. We know exactly how to navigate these tight spaces without damaging your drywall or trim during the delivery phase.
This regional familiarity allows us to anticipate plumbing quirks that out-of-town companies might miss. For instance, we know how the local water pressure behaves and how to adjust your new fixtures to match it. We love serving our quiet community of around 632 people, where neighbors look out for neighbors every single day.
Since the median household income in Woodbury County is about $46,250, we focus on delivering real value without any hidden fees. We respect your hard-earned money, which is why we keep our pricing straightforward and our estimates free. If you live in the 51004 ZIP code area, we can be at your door quickly to measure your bathroom layout.
Every body is different, which is why your new low-threshold bathing system should fit your specific physical needs. You can choose units with built-in grab bars that are strategically placed to help you stand up easily. These sturdy bars give you solid leverage, which keeps your balance stable when you move around.
Additionally, slip-resistant floors prevent your feet from sliding even when the surface is covered in soapy water. You can also opt for heated seating surfaces that keep your back warm while the basin fills up. These little details transform a basic chore into a truly pleasant ritual that you will look forward to daily.
Moreover, we install hand-held shower wands that let you wash your hair and rinse off without having to stand. This flexibility makes bathing feel less like a chore and more like a relaxing spa day. You retain full control over your routine, which keeps your personal dignity intact.
We believe in keeping things completely real with our customers, so we will not pretend that remodeling a bathroom is totally silent. There will be some noise while we cut through old materials and secure the new framing. However, our respectful crew works efficiently to minimize the disruption to your daily life.
This means we lay down protective cloths over your carpets to keep dirt from tracking through your hallways. We also clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools and leave your property. You will not have to worry about finding stray nails or plaster dust after we finish our job.
Sometimes, we discover hidden water damage behind old walls once we tear them down. If this happens, we explain the situation immediately and show you the issue before we do any repairs. We fix these structural problems correctly so your new investment rests on a solid, mold-free foundation.
Selecting the right size of secure-entry basin depends heavily on the layout of your current washroom. Some models fit perfectly into the footprint of a standard sixty-inch tub, which saves you from major wall demolition. Other layouts might require a compact model that frees up floor space for a wheelchair or walker.
This is where our expert spatial planning comes in handy during our initial visit. We measure every inch of your bathroom to ensure there is plenty of room for the door to swing open freely. We want to make sure you can enter and exit the unit without feeling cramped or awkward.
Once we find the right fit, we discuss the aesthetic options to make sure the unit matches your personal style. You can choose from classic white finishes or modern textures that bring a fresh look to your home. Safety upgrades do not have to look clinical; they can look incredibly stylish and inviting.
Taking the first step toward a safer home does not have to cost you a single dime. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates because we want you to make an informed decision without any pressure. Our friendly team will sit down with you, answer your questions, and lay out a clear plan that fits your budget.
This visit lets us look at your water heater to make sure it can handle the capacity of a deeper basin. If your water heater is a bit small, we can suggest simple solutions to ensure you always have enough hot water. We want your first soak in your new tub to be absolutely perfect.
Do not wait for an accidental slip or fall to force your hand on a home safety upgrade. Reach out to us today to schedule your free home visit and discover how easy it is to regain your independence. We are proud to help our neighbors live more comfortably in the homes they love.
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 Anthon.
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.
