The Boyds crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Montgomery 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 bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain when your mobility changes.
Fortunately, we can swap that dangerous barrier for a secure, low-step entry option that keeps you safe.
This simple home upgrade lets you reclaim your personal independence without any help from others.
Slips and falls in the wet bathroom area cause thousands of painful injuries every single year.
Because of this, we specialize in replacing old, slippery basins with deep, watertight alternatives.
Our team visits your home to measure your space and provide a written estimate for the whole project.
You can finally enjoy a deep, warm soak without the constant fear of losing your balance.
Which means you get to relax your muscles and soothe your joints in total peace of mind.
Let us show you how we can transform your daily routine into a stress-free ritual.
These specialized units feature a heavy-duty, leak-proof door built right into the side of the basin.
This clever design allows you to step inside over a threshold that is only a few inches high.
Once you step in, you close the secure latch and fill the basin while sitting down comfortably.
Many homeowners worry about water leaking out onto their bathroom floor during a long soak.
However, our premium installations utilize advanced double-seal technology that keeps every single drop inside the unit.
This heavy-duty locking mechanism pressure-seals the door shut as soon as you flip the handle.
To help you compare your options, we put together a quick guide on the standard features we install.
This table highlights what you get when you upgrade your bathroom layout with us.
| Feature | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low step-in threshold | Prevents tripping and eliminates the need to balance on one leg |
| Contoured built-in seating | Provides a sturdy, slip-free place to sit without needing to lower yourself to the floor |
| Rapid-drain technology | Allows the water to empty out quickly so you do not sit there shivering |
| Safety grab bars | Gives you solid handholds for maximum stability while standing or sitting |
Our dedicated crew has spent years working inside homes across Montgomery County to improve residential safety.
We understand the unique layouts of the houses in this beautiful part of Maryland.
Whether you live in a historic property or a modern suburban development, we know how to fit these units perfectly.
This vibrant community of 10,460 residents deserves top-tier service from professionals who arrive on time.
That is why we treat your home with the utmost respect, cleaning up every bit of dust before we leave.
We handle all the heavy lifting, from hauling away your old heavy cast-iron tub to updating your plumbing lines.
Living in the 20841 ZIP code area means you have access to our quick, local response times.
Because we are nearby, we can easily schedule a convenient time to inspect your current bathroom layout.
This proximity allows us to deliver fast turnarounds without sacrificing the quality of our craftsmanship.
First, we evaluate your existing hot water heater to ensure it can handle the larger volume of water.
If your current tank is too small, we can discuss options to boost your heating capacity.
This pre-check ensures you never have to worry about running out of warm water mid-soak.
Next, our skilled technicians carefully remove your old drywall and outdated plumbing fixtures without damaging your walls.
We then reinforce the subfloor to support the weight of the new heavy-duty acrylic unit.
This step prevents any future sagging or shifting when the basin is completely full of water.
After that, we run new drain lines and hook up the high-flow faucet fixtures.
On top of that, we seal every joint with mold-resistant silicone to protect your home from moisture damage.
This thorough process guarantees your new setup will function flawlessly for decades to come.
Slip-resistant textured flooring comes standard on every single model we bring to your home.
This gritty surface gives your feet a firm grip even when the floor is covered in soapy water.
You can stand up or sit down with complete confidence, knowing your feet will not slide out from under you.
Integrated grab bars are strategically bolted directly into the steel frame of the unit itself.
These are not flimsy suction-cup bars that can pop off when you put weight on them.
Instead, they offer rock-solid support to help you pull yourself up safely every single time.
Many models feature heated backrests that keep you warm while the deep basin fills up with water.
This soothing warmth relaxes your tight shoulder and back muscles before you even begin soaking.
It is the ultimate way to melt away the stress of a long, busy day.
Hydrotherapy jets can also be added to target your sore calves, hips, and lower back muscles.
These adjustable water nozzles massage your body to improve circulation and ease arthritis pain.
You will feel like you have a private spa right in the privacy of your own home.
We believe in giving you the straight facts so you can make an informed decision for your family.
The biggest benefit is undoubtedly the massive reduction in bathroom slip-and-fall hazards.
Additionally, these deep basins allow for a luxurious, full-body soak that traditional shallow tubs simply cannot offer.
On the downside, you must sit inside the unit while it fills and while it drains out.
This means you will spend a few minutes waiting before you can open the door and step out.
To minimize this wait, we always install high-speed drains and fast-filling faucets during our setups.
Another factor to consider is that these specialized units require a larger initial investment than standard basins.
However, when you compare this cost to the price of assisted living facilities, it is incredibly affordable.
Investing in your home safety now allows you to age in place comfortably for years to come.
Our friendly team is ready to visit your home and help you plan your bathroom safety upgrade.
We will measure your doorways, inspect your plumbing, and give you a detailed, no-obligation written quote.
This clear estimate shows you exactly what to expect without any hidden fees or surprise charges.
Do not wait for a dangerous fall to happen before you decide to take action.
Taking this proactive step today ensures you can enjoy safe, private bathing for the rest of your life.

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 Boyds.
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.
