The Blanchardville crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Lafayette 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 when your knees start acting up.
Fortunately, you can swap that old high-walled barrier for a leak-proof basin featuring a low-step entry door.
Our dedicated team comes right to your home to evaluate your layout and provide an estimate.
This smart upgrade keeps you independent in your own home for years to come.
By eliminating the need to balance on one slippery foot, you instantly reduce the risk of nasty falls.
You get to enjoy a deep, warm soak without any of the usual stress or physical strain.
Our local crew handles the entire process from tear-out to the final plumbing connections.
Because we customize every setup, you receive a basin that fits your body and your bathroom layout perfectly.
We make sure the transition is smooth so you can reclaim your daily peace of mind.
Standard household tubs require you to step over a wall that is often fifteen inches high.
In contrast, our low-threshold doors reduce that barrier to just a few inches off the floor.
This simple change means you merely step in, close the watertight door, and sit down on a built-in bench.
On top of that, these units fill up quickly and drain even faster to keep you warm.
You do not have to sit around shivering while waiting for the water to escape after your bath.
Our advanced fast-drain technology pulls the water out in a fraction of the usual time.
To give you a clearer picture of how these safety-focused units compare to traditional options, we have outlined the key differences below.
| Feature Comparison | Traditional Standard Tub | Safety Seat Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating Area | Flat floor level | Contoured raised bench |
| Slip Prevention | Minimal grab bars | Integrated handrails and textured floors |
| Soaking Depth | Shallow water line | Deep torso-level immersion |
Investing in this system means you are choosing long-term safety over daily anxiety.
Many homeowners realize that staying in their beloved homes is much cheaper than moving to assisted living.
We help you make that dream a reality with our professional, hassle-free setup services.
Every household has different physical needs and aesthetic preferences.
That is why we offer a wide variety of sizes, door configurations, and jet packages.
Whether you want deep muscle relaxation or basic stability, we have a unit that fits.
For instance, heated seating keeps your back warm while the basin fills up with hot water.
This prevents that sudden chill that usually happens when you sit on cold acrylic or fiberglass.
Which means your entire experience is relaxing from the very first second to the last.
Additionally, we install strategic grab bars that give you solid leverage points as you move.
These heavy-duty bars are anchored directly into the framing of your bathroom walls for maximum support.
You will feel totally secure knowing the grab bars can easily support your full body weight.
You might worry that retrofitting a massive new basin will turn your home into a construction zone.
Actually, our experienced crew usually finishes the entire swap in just a day or two.
We take great care to protect your floors and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
First, we carefully extract your old cast iron or steel fixture without damaging the surrounding drywall.
Then, we inspect the subfloor and the drain lines to ensure everything is solid and mold-free.
This crucial step prevents hidden water damage from ruining your bathroom floor down the road.
Next, we run new plumbing lines to match the high-flow faucets of your new unit.
We level the frame perfectly so the door seal compresses exactly as the manufacturer intended.
This precise alignment guarantees a lifetime of leak-free performance and effortless door operation.

Before our team arrives, it helps to think about who will use the new system most often.
If mobility is highly restricted, an outward-swinging door might offer the easiest access for wheelchair transfers.
For others, an inward-swinging door saves valuable floor space in smaller, tighter bathrooms.
You should also check the size of your current hot water heater to ensure ample capacity.
Because these deep units hold more water than standard models, a larger tank or tankless system might be ideal.
We can evaluate your current water heating setup during our visit to ensure you always get hot baths.
Do not let minor physical limitations rob you of the simple pleasure of a warm bath.
Taking action today prevents painful slips tomorrow and gives your family immense peace of mind.

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 Blanchardville.
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.
