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.
Stepping over that high barrier on your standard bathing basin can feel like climbing a mountain every single day.

We focus on quick, clean setups that do not disrupt your life for weeks on end.
Let us help you make your daily routine simple and enjoyable again starting today.
Standard household restrooms often present serious dangers as we age or deal with limited mobility.
A deep soaking basin with a built-in leak-proof door offers a simple way to stay independent at home.
These specialized units feature built-in seating, sturdy grab bars, and fast-draining technology to keep you warm.
Think about how nice it will feel to sit down comfortably instead of hovering over a slippery floor.
Our high-quality setups also include handheld showerheads that let you direct the water exactly where you want it.
This brings back the sheer joy of a warm bath without any of the old anxiety.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we put together a quick comparison table below.
This highlights the key differences between what you probably have now and what we can set up for you.
The benefits of making this switch go far beyond just looks.
| Feature | Standard Basin Setup | Our Secure Entry System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low 3 to 6 inches |
| Seating Options | None (must sit on the floor) | Contoured, ADA-compliant seat |
| Safety Elements | Slippery surfaces, no bars | Non-slip floors, built-in grab bars |
| Drainage Speed | Slow, standard gravity drain | Powered fast-drain technology |
Many homeowners worry that modifying their restroom will turn into a dusty, never-ending nightmare.
Actually, our experienced crew works efficiently to minimize mess and complete the job in a fraction of the time.
We start by carefully removing your old fixture without damaging the surrounding walls or plumbing lines.
Next, we inspect the subfloor to ensure it can support the weight of your new high-capacity basin.
This step is vital because these units hold more water than standard tubs to give you that deep soak.
We reinforce the flooring if needed, ensuring everything is level and rock solid before proceeding.
Once the base is secure, we hook up the advanced plumbing fixtures and seal every single joint.
Our team uses premium, mildew-resistant sealants that stand up to years of daily hot water exposure.
This meticulous attention to detail prevents hidden leaks that could ruin your home down the road.
You do not have to sacrifice the beauty of your restroom to make it secure and accessible.
We offer a wide variety of finishes, colors, and textures that blend seamlessly with your existing decor.
Whether you prefer a modern polished look or a traditional style, we have options for you.
Choosing the right fixtures allows you to customize your bathing experience to your exact liking.
For instance, we can install soothing air jets that gently massage tired muscles after a long afternoon.
This turns a simple daily necessity into a luxurious spa-like getaway right in your own home.
On top of that, we position the controls so you can reach them without straining your back.
Every handle, dial, and wand is selected to ensure maximum ease of use for tired or arthritic hands.
We believe that safety should always go hand-in-hand with true physical ease.
Working with a nearby contractor means you get personalized attention from people who know your neighborhood.

You might wonder if your current water heater can handle a larger volume of warm water.
Generally, we evaluate your existing system during our initial visit to make sure you get hot baths.
If your current tank is too small, we can suggest simple upgrades to keep the warm water flowing.
Another common question involves the door seal and whether it will start leaking after a few years.
We install units featuring heavy-duty, lifetime-guaranteed pressure seals that keep every drop of water inside.
The water pressure itself actually helps hold the door closed, preventing accidental openings while bathing.
Cleaning these specialized units is also incredibly simple compared to scrubbing a deep, traditional basin.
The high-gloss acrylic materials resist mold, mildew, and stubborn soap scum buildup naturally.
A quick wipe with a damp cloth after your bath keeps everything looking brand new for years.
Delaying this upgrade only increases the risk of an expensive and painful fall in the bathroom.
Investing in your safety today allows you to remain in the home you love for many years to come.
We make it incredibly easy to explore your options without any pressure or sales gimmicks.
Our friendly local estimator will visit your home to take precise measurements and discuss your needs.

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 Ben Avon.
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.
