The Blakely Island crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over San Juan 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.
Getting in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain as the years slip by.
This is why many homeowners choose to replace their old high-walled basins with a specialized low-threshold bathing system.
Our dedicated team helps you regain your independence by fitting these secure, leak-proof sealed doors right into your existing washroom layout.
Imagine stepping over a tiny barrier of just a few inches instead of balancing on one wet foot.
This simple change dramatically lowers the risk of slips and falls in your private sanctuary.
We travel right to your doorstep in San Juan County to evaluate your space and give you a detailed layout plan.
You can finally stop worrying about losing your footing on slick tile floors.
Our customized sealed-barrier pools offer deep soaking depths while keeping you securely seated on a slip-resistant built-in bench.
You deserve a stress-free washroom that keeps you safe and self-reliant every single day.
Modern sealed-door basins come packed with smart features designed specifically for individuals with limited mobility.
For starters, the heavy-duty watertight door seal prevents any water from escaping onto your floorboards while you soak.
This means your subfloor stays dry and your bathroom remains free from mold-inducing dampness.
On top of that, these units include fast-draining technology so you do not have to sit shivering while the water empties.
Specialized dual-drain systems pull the water out up to ten times faster than a standard plumbing setup.
You will appreciate this rapid evacuation when you are ready to open the door and dry off.
To help you compare the main styles, we put together a handy overview of the options we install:
| System Type | Key Safety Benefit | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
| Inward-Opening Door | Space-saving design that seals tighter as water pressure builds | Standard bathrooms with tight clearance |
| Outward-Swing Door | Easiest entry point for wheelchair transfers | Maximum accessibility needs |
| Deep Soaker Model | Full chest-high water submersion while seated | Therapeutic muscle relaxation |
Replacing a traditional tub requires a blend of precise carpentry, updated plumbing, and careful finishing work.
First, our crew protects your floors and carefully extracts your old cast iron or fiberglass alcove unit.
We then inspect the underlying wood framing to ensure it can support the weight of a fully loaded deep-soak system.
Next, we run new drain lines and adjust the hot and cold water feeds to align perfectly with the new fixtures.
This lets you enjoy rapid-fill faucets that cut down your waiting time significantly.
We also install dedicated grab bars anchored directly into the wall studs for maximum leverage and stability.
After leveling the new slip-resistant base, we seal every single seam with high-grade antimicrobial silicone.
Which means you get a watertight finish that looks clean and lasts for decades without peeling.
Our careful testing process ensures not a single drop of water escapes before we pack up our tools.
Every home has different needs, which is why we customize each setup with specific accessories.
For instance, you might want heated seating surfaces that keep your back warm before the basin even fills up.
This adds a touch of pure luxury and keeps you cozy during chilly Pacific Northwest mornings.
Another great add-on is a hand-held shower wand with an extra-long flexible hose.
This lets you wash your hair and rinse off easily while remaining safely seated on the contoured bench.
You can control the water flow with a simple thumb switch without reaching toward the main wall valves.
Trying to fit one of these heavy, specialized units by yourself often leads to costly plumbing disasters.
These systems weigh much more than standard acrylic shells, especially when filled to their high capacity.
Our crew knows how to reinforce your joists so your floor never sags or cracks under the load.
Furthermore, we handle the complex drain alignments that older homes often require.
Mistakes in this area can cause slow leaks hidden behind your drywall, leading to rot and expensive repairs.
Entrusting the work to seasoned hands ensures your peace of mind and keeps your home warranty fully intact.
We bring all the necessary permits and adhere strictly to local building codes during every phase.
Which means your home remains compliant and safe, protecting your property value for the future.
We take pride in doing the job right the first time so you can focus on enjoying your new retreat.
Many people worry that their bathroom is simply too small for a specialized accessibility unit.
However, we offer compact models designed to fit into the exact footprint of a standard sixty-inch alcove.
This lets you upgrade your setup without tearing down walls or relocating your toilet and vanity.
If your space is awkwardly shaped, we utilize custom trim kits to bridge any remaining gaps seamlessly.
These color-matched panels create a clean, integrated look that blends beautifully with your existing decor.
Your washroom will look like it was custom-built from the start to house your new safety system.
Investing in a secure step-in basin is really about preserving your freedom and staying in the home you love.
You will no longer need to rely on family members or caregivers to assist you with your basic hygiene.
This restores a sense of dignity and allows you to enjoy your warm baths in complete privacy.
Additionally, the deep soaking action provides natural relief for stiff joints and aching muscles.
Warm water immersion helps improve circulation and eases the discomfort of chronic tension.
You can end your day with a relaxing soak that promotes better sleep and overall physical wellness.

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 Blakely Island.
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.
