The Aurora crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Marion 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.
Slips and trips in the bathroom can turn a relaxing evening into a scary situation very fast. This is why upgrading your bathroom with a secure, low-step bathing system makes so much sense for your safety. We help you stay independent in your own home by swapping out that old, high-walled basin for something much easier to use.
Living with limited mobility does not mean you have to give up the simple pleasure of a warm soak. Our team comes right to your door to measure your space and give you an honest estimate. This free quote helps you plan your home upgrade without any pressure or hidden fees.
When you choose to work with us, you get local folks who understand how important safety is for your family. We take pride in transforming tight, slippery spaces into secure havens of relaxation. Let us help you make your daily routine stress-free and enjoyable again.
You might wonder how these specialized units actually keep the water inside while allowing you to walk right in. Well, they feature a watertight door with a very low threshold that you just step over. After you step inside, you close the door, seal it tight, and sit down on a built-in seat.
This design means you do not have to balance on one foot while climbing over a high porcelain ledge. Which means your risk of falling drops down to almost nothing. On top of that, the heavy-duty seals are backed by lifetime warranties so you never have to worry about leaks on your bathroom floor.
Our units also come loaded with features like fast-draining technology so you do not have to sit around freezing while the water empties out. This lets you get out of the basin quickly and stay warm. It is all about making your daily routine simple, safe, and genuinely relaxing.
Plumbing projects in older homes can get pretty tricky, especially when you are dealing with heavy fixtures and high water volumes. If you try to do this yourself, you might run into major headaches with your pipes. Our crew has years of hands-on experience handling these exact situations.
We do not just drop the unit in and leave you to figure out the rest. Instead, we inspect your existing pipes, widen your drains if needed, and ensure your water heater can handle the new capacity. This careful process guarantees you will not face any nasty surprises down the road.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, here is a quick comparison of our professional setup process versus a typical DIY attempt:
| Feature | Professional Setup | DIY Attempt |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy Lifting | Done safely by our crew | Risk of back strain or damage |
| Leak Protection | Guaranteed watertight seals | High risk of water damage |
| Drainage Speed | Optimized fast-drain systems | Slow, cold draining times |
| Permits & Codes | Fully compliant with local rules | Possible code violations |
Every single body is different, which is why we customize these setups to fit your personal physical requirements. For example, we can add heated seating backrests to keep you cozy while the basin fills up. This extra warmth makes a world of difference during those chilly Oregon winters.
We also install strategically placed grab bars right where your hands naturally reach for support. This gives you extra leverage when rising from the comfortable, chair-height seat. You will feel totally secure and in control during every single step of your bath.
If you love a deep soak, we can even install targeted water jets to soothe your tired muscles. This transforms your daily wash into a spa-like experience right in your own home. It is the ultimate way to pamper yourself while keeping safety as your number one priority.
We know that having contractors in your home can feel a bit disruptive and messy. Because of this, we work quickly and clean up every speck of dust before we leave. Our goal is to get your new system up and running with as little fuss as possible.
Usually, we can finish the entire swap in just one or two days. This means you will not be without a functioning bathroom for weeks on end. We treat your house with the exact same respect we would show to our own mothers' homes.
Once the setup is complete, we walk you through every single feature so you feel completely confident using it. We will show you how the door latch works, how to use the hand-held shower wand, and how to activate the jets. You will be a pro at using your new system before we even pack up our tools.

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.
