You can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet tiles every single time you want to take a warm bath. This complete upgrade replaces your dangerous, high-walled basin with a secure, accessible bathing system that features a leak-proof side entry door. Our dedicated team travels directly to your home to measure your space and provide a detailed layout plan without charging you a single dime for the visit.
Getting your free estimate is incredibly simple and takes away all the guesswork. This local service ensures that you receive a personalized layout plan tailored specifically to your home layout. You deserve a stress-free way to maintain your personal independence without constantly relying on others for help.
Our friendly crew knows exactly how to swap out those old, hazardous fixtures quickly. This means you will get to enjoy a safer, deeply relaxing soaking experience in no time at all. We make sure the entire process is smooth, clean, and completely hassle-free for you.
First, we need to look at how these specialized deep-soaking units actually fit into your existing washroom layout. These heavy-duty basins require precise plumbing alignments and robust structural support underneath because they hold much more water than a standard shallow model. Our skilled technicians carefully inspect your floor joists to guarantee they can support the extra weight of the filled system.
Then, we handle the tricky task of matching the drain locations perfectly. This saves you from expensive future pipe repairs and prevents nasty water back-ups. We also install high-flow tap valves so your new tub fills up incredibly fast while you sit comfortably inside.
Finally, we seal every single corner with commercial-grade silicone to block any potential moisture leaks. This protects your walls from mold and keeps your subfloor perfectly dry for decades to come. You get total peace of mind knowing the job was done right the very first time.
When you customize your new system, you can choose from several essential safety additions. These include strategically placed, heavy-duty grab bars that give you solid leverage when sitting down or standing up. On top of that, the slip-resistant textured floor prevents your feet from sliding around on soapy surfaces.
Another crucial feature is the low-step threshold which allows you to enter the basin without lifting your legs high. This simple design element dramatically reduces your risk of losing your balance while entering the wet area. You will feel remarkably secure every single time you step inside to clean up.
| Safety Feature | Direct Daily Benefit |
|---|---|
| Low-Step Entry Threshold | Prevents tripping and eliminates high leg lifting |
| Contoured Built-In Seating | Allows you to bathe while sitting upright comfortably |
| Surrounding Grab Bars | Provides steady handholds when moving around |
| Fast Drain Technology | Minimizes waiting time before you open the door |
Waiting for a deep basin to empty can be a cold and frustrating experience. Fortunately, our advanced rapid-drain systems pull water out of the tub in under eighty seconds. This lets you open the side door and step out onto your dry bath mat without shivering in the cold air.
This efficient drainage design utilizes dual-drain ports to accelerate the water removal process. Which means you can get on with your day quickly instead of sitting around waiting for the water level to drop. It is a simple upgrade that makes a massive difference in your daily routine.

You want to choose a basin material that stays bright and clean without requiring hours of intense scrubbing. High-gloss acrylic is an exceptional choice because its non-porous surface naturally resists mold, mildew, and tough hard water stains. This means you can keep your bathing area sanitary with just a quick wipe of a damp cloth.
Alternatively, gel-coated fiberglass offers a lightweight yet highly durable option that fits well in older home structures. This material provides excellent thermal retention, keeping your bathwater warm for much longer periods. You can enjoy a long, relaxing soak without constantly adding hot water to the basin.
Both options feature robust steel support frames underneath to prevent cracking or shifting over time. This heavy-duty reinforcement ensures that your investment remains sturdy and safe for decades. We help you choose the ideal material that matches both your style preferences and your budget.
Adding gentle water jets to your deep basin can transform a simple bath into a soothing spa experience. These strategically positioned nozzles target your tired back, hips, and legs with warm, circulating water. This helps soothe stiff joints and relaxes tight muscles after a long day of moving around.
On top of that, air jets create thousands of tiny bubbles that gently massage your skin. This soft sensation helps promote better circulation throughout your body while you unwind. You can easily customize the intensity of these jets with simple, easy-to-reach control buttons.
Now is the perfect time to take control of your home safety and transform your daily routine.

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 Brightmoor.
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.
