The Canaan crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Somerset 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 around your house should feel safe every single day. If stepping over high barriers causes you stress, we can help you fix that situation right now by installing a modern, side-entry bathing unit in Canaan, Maine.
Changing how you bathe is a big decision for your home. You deserve a space that provides true ease and physical relief without any of the usual risks of slipping or falling. Let us show you how a custom, accessible basin can transform your daily morning routine.
Standard tubs often force you to lift your legs dangerously high just to get inside. This simple physical requirement becomes a massive hurdle when your mobility decides to take a vacation. By installing a unit with a low, watertight door, you eliminate that risky climb entirely.
Think about the sheer peace of mind you gain by simply walking right in. You no longer have to worry about losing your footing on a wet, slick surface during your morning wash. This upgrade ensures that your bathroom remains a place of pure relaxation instead of a hazard zone.
Safety features like grab bars and textured floors add extra layers of protection. These components help you maintain your balance while you move around within the enclosure. It feels like having a personal assistant dedicated to your physical stability every time you turn the faucet.
Living in Somerset County offers a quiet lifestyle that everyone loves. With a population of around 2,275 people, your neighbors appreciate practical home improvements that last for many years. We know the 04924 area well and understand the unique challenges of regional plumbing systems.
While local median income figures might look low on paper, home value remains a top priority for families here. Investing in your property through smart renovations helps maintain your house for the long haul. You get a functional upgrade that stays useful regardless of what the market does.

Starting a project begins with a conversation about what you need. You might want extra jets for muscle soothing or just a basic deep basin for sitting down. We listen to your specific requests before we ever touch a tool or pull up a floorboard.
Once we know your goals, we measure your current space accurately. Most bathrooms in this area have standard dimensions that fit our specialized equipment quite well. We make sure everything lines up perfectly so you never deal with leaks or poor drainage later on.
Furthermore, the installation process usually happens faster than you might think. We aim to get your new setup working within just a couple of days. This means you do not have to live in a construction zone for weeks on end.
Many people worry about the time it takes to fill or drain a deep unit. Modern models now feature fast-fill faucets and high-flow drains to solve that problem. You spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the warm water on your tired joints.
Perhaps you enjoy the idea of heated surfaces that keep you warm before the water even touches you. These little touches make your bathroom feel like a high-end spa. You get to define what total luxury means for your specific lifestyle and budget requirements.
Actually, the materials used today are much lighter and more durable than old cast iron. They resist stains and scratches while keeping the surface warm to the touch. This means your cleaning chores become significantly easier and less frequent over the years.
Getting a clear picture of the costs helps you plan your home finances properly. We offer a totally free estimate to anyone in the area who wants to explore these options. You talk directly to the person doing the work so you understand every single detail.
There is absolutely no obligation tied to our visit or our quote. We believe that you should have all the facts before making any big decisions. You ask the questions and we provide the honest, straightforward answers that you need to hear.
Consider how much better your mornings will be once this project wraps up. You trade your anxiety for total confidence every single time you head into the bathroom. Send us a message today to schedule your visit and get the ball rolling.
Choosing to modify your living space is an act of foresight. You recognize that your needs change and you take steps to ensure your house adapts with you. This proactive approach saves you from future hassles that happen when you ignore obvious problems.
Your house should serve you, not the other way around. By removing the high edges of your old tub, you claim back your independence in a big way. We handle the heavy lifting, the plumbing, and the finishing touches so you just enjoy the results.
What could be better than a safe environment where you feel fully in control? You deserve to feel secure inside your own four walls every single day. Let us provide the technical support needed to make this vision a reality for your household.
People often ask if their existing plumbing can handle the upgrade. We check your pipes and drain lines before we start any work on site. Most homes are perfectly ready for this transition, but we fix any minor issues we find along the way.
Another common concern involves the mess that comes with construction. We take great care to protect your floors and keep dust to a minimum during the process. You find your bathroom clean and ready to use as soon as we finish the job.
Finally, you might wonder about the long-term maintenance of the mechanical door seals. We teach you how to keep the seals clean and functional with very little effort. You get a reliable system that works perfectly for many years to come with just basic care.
Now is the perfect time to look at your bathroom layout. You might realize that small changes make a huge difference in your daily satisfaction. We look forward to helping you improve your home and your quality of life very soon.

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 Canaan.
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.
