The Aurora crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Saint Louis County. 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.
Every single day we hear about people slipping on wet bathroom tiles. Honestly, it is downright scary when a simple shower feels like an obstacle course. You deserve to feel safe and independent in your own home without constantly worrying about your next step.
Fortunately, we have the perfect setup to make bathing relaxing again. Our local team specializes in replacing those hazardous old basins with secure, low-step alternatives that keep you safe. We will gladly visit your home to measure your space and give you an estimate with zero pressure.
First of all, conventional bathing setups have ridiculously high walls that require some serious balancing acts to cross. This tricky maneuver gets harder over time, especially if your knees or back start acting up. By switching to a leak-proof step-in bath, you eliminate that giant hurdle entirely. Which means you can keep living on your own terms without needing constant assistance.
On top of that, these specialized units come packed with incredible features like built-in seating and grab bars. You do not have to stand on slippery surfaces while trying to wash anymore. Instead, you can just sit down, relax, and let the warm water do its magic on your tired muscles. It is basically like having a private spa right in your own house.
To help you compare your options, let us look at how these modern units stack up against standard fixtures:
| Feature | Standard Deep Tub | Our Secure Step-In Units |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Threshold | Very high (usually 15-20 inches) | Ultra-low (just a few inches) |
| Seating | None (must sit on the floor) | Contoured, ADA-compliant seat |
| Safety Features | Add-on rails required | Integrated grab bars and textured floor |
| Hydrotherapy Options | Rarely available | Advanced warm water jets |
Now, think about how much easier your daily routine will become with these upgrades. You will no longer need to plan your day around when someone is home to help you watch your step. This simple change brings back your privacy, which is something we all highly value.
Living in Saint Louis County means we experience some pretty intense winter weather that can make joints ache like crazy. There is nothing quite like soaking in deep, heated water after dealing with a freezing afternoon outdoors. Our team understands these local needs because we live and work right here alongside you.
Specifically, we serve the entire local community of 1,640 residents who call this beautiful area home. We know that many folks in the 55705 ZIP code area are looking for smart, long-term investments for their properties. With a median household income of $37,155, we make sure our local pricing stays highly competitive and fair for everyone.
Because of our dedication to quality, we never cut corners when it comes to sealing and plumbing. We ensure that every single door seal remains completely watertight so you never have to worry about floor damage. Our professional installers handle the heavy lifting quickly, often completing the job much faster than you would expect.
Naturally, you might worry about your bathroom being out of commission for weeks during a remodel. We work hard to avoid that headache by prep-planning every detail before we even arrive at your door. This meticulous approach allows us to swap out your old system with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Additionally, we clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools. We treat your property with the exact same respect we would show to our own grandmother's house. You will be left with a sparkling clean, fully functional bathing oasis ready for immediate use.
This customized approach means you get to choose the exact placement of your handshowers and grab bars. We customize the entire layout to match your specific height, reach, and mobility needs. No two bodies are exactly alike, so we believe no two installations should be identical either.
We also offer various jet configurations that target your lower back, legs, and feet. If you suffer from arthritis or poor circulation, these targeted water streams can feel like absolute heaven. You get to control the intensity of your soak with simple, easy-to-reach buttons.
Perhaps you are wondering if your current water heater can handle a larger volume of water. This is a very common question, and we check your existing plumbing system during our initial assessment. We will give you honest feedback and find a solution that works perfectly with your home's current capabilities.
Another concern we often hear about is the overall cost of the project. While this upgrade is a significant investment, it is much cheaper than moving into an assisted living facility. Investing in your current home allows you to stay in the neighborhood you love for many years to come.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, here is a quick breakdown of how we guide you through the process:
| Phase | What We Do | Your Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 1. In-Home Consultation | We measure your space and discuss your needs | You get an accurate price with no hidden fees |
| 2. Custom Design | We select the right features and jet packages | Your new unit fits your body and style perfectly |
| 3. Professional Installation | We remove the old tub and install the new system | Quick turnaround with zero mess left behind |
| 4. Final Walkthrough | We show you how to operate all the controls | You feel 100% confident using your new bath |
So, you can see that we handle all the stressful details from start to finish. You do not have to worry about hiring separate plumbers, haulers, or carpenters. We take care of the entire project so you can sit back, relax, and look forward to your first soak.
Imagine waking up tomorrow knowing that your morning wash will be completely stress-free. No more fear of slipping, no more aching joints, and no more relying on others for help. This reality is much closer and easier to reach than you think.
Since we love helping our neighbors stay safe, we offer no-obligation quotes right at your home in Aurora, Minnesota. We will answer all your questions honestly and help you find a solution that fits your budget. Pick up the phone to get your free estimate and take the first step toward a safer home.
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 Aurora.
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.
