You can finally stop worrying about those slippery bathroom tiles and high step-in barrier walls that make daily bathing feel like a stressful obstacle course.
By choosing to upgrade your current setup with a specialized, low-threshold bathing enclosure, you instantly regain your independence and peace of mind.
This smart home upgrade solves your safety worries while keeping your daily routine simple and completely stress-free.
If you want to feel totally secure every time you step into the bath, our local team is ready to help you find the absolute best fit for your layout.
We specialize in custom bathroom safety retrofits and we are proud to offer free, no-obligation estimates right inside your own home.
Our goal is to make sure you get a reliable, high-quality setup that matches your physical needs and your budget perfectly.
When you replace your standard, high-sided basin with a modern accessible unit, you eliminate the main source of bathroom slips and falls.
This change allows you to enter the bathing area through a secure, leak-proof door that sits just inches off the floor.
Which means you do not have to balance on one foot anymore while trying to climb over a dangerous porcelain barrier.
On top of that, these specialized units come equipped with built-in, contoured seating that lets you sit upright while soaking.
This feature helps anyone who struggles with joint pain or muscle weakness because you do not have to lower yourself all the way down to floor level.
As a result, you can bathe comfortably without straining your back or knees in the process.
To make things even safer, we install heavy-duty grab bars and non-slip floors inside every single unit we put in.
These safety additions give you reliable handholds and solid footing from the moment you step inside until you are completely finished.
You will notice an immediate boost in your confidence when you realize how stable and secure you feel during your daily routine.
You might wonder how a door built into the side of a deep bathing unit can possibly hold back dozens of gallons of water without spilling a single drop onto your floor.
The secret lies in the advanced pressure-seal technology that activates the moment you close and latch the door handle.
This heavy-duty gasket uses the weight of the water inside to press itself tighter against the frame, creating an absolute watertight barrier.
Because of this smart design, you never have to worry about water damage ruining your bathroom subfloor or creating mold behind your drywall.
Our professional installation ensures that the door alignment remains absolutely perfect over years of daily use.
This means you get a lifetime of dry floors and worry-free baths without any annoying maintenance hassles.
To give you a better idea of how these specialized safety units compare to standard options, let us look at the main features side-by-side.
| Feature Comparison | Standard Basin | Accessible Entry Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating Area | Floor level (difficult to exit) | Contoured, chair-height seat |
| Slip Resistance | Smooth, slippery acrylic or porcelain | Deep-textured, slip-resistant floor |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow gravity drain | Dual fast-drain technology |
Every home is different, which is why we take the time to evaluate your specific space and personal preferences before recommending any specific model.
For example, you can choose units equipped with heated backrests that keep you warm while the basin fills up with hot water.
This option prevents you from feeling chilly during those first few minutes when the water is still rising around you.
Another popular option includes high-powered therapeutic water jets and air adjusters that massage tired muscles and stiff joints.
These soothing jets target your lower back, legs, and feet to help ease tension and improve your overall circulation.
By adding this feature, you turn a simple safety upgrade into a deeply relaxing, spa-like experience right in your own home.
Additionally, you should consider the drainage speed of your new unit because you must wait inside until the water empties before opening the door.
We offer high-speed dual drain systems that empty the entire basin in less than two minutes flat.
This rapid draining system ensures that you do not sit shivering while waiting to exit your bath.
When you decide to move forward with us, our crew handles absolutely everything from the initial teardown to the final cleanup.
We start by carefully removing your old tub and inspecting the underlying plumbing to make sure there are no hidden leaks or rotted wood.
This thorough inspection protects your home from future structural issues and ensures a solid foundation for your new unit.
Next, we upgrade your existing water lines and drain pipes to accommodate the faster flow rate of your new accessible bath.
We also make sure the electrical connections for any jet systems are completely up to code and fully waterproofed.
This careful preparation guarantees that your system runs safely and efficiently for decades to come.
Finally, we slide the new unit into place, level it perfectly, and seal all the edges with premium, mold-resistant silicone.
We do not consider the job done until we run a full test cycle to verify that every jet, drain, and door seal works flawlessly.
Our tidy crews always clean up their workspace so your bathroom is ready to use immediately.

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 Burnside.
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.
