The Centralia crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Boone 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.
Stepping over a high tub wall can feel like climbing a mountain when you have joint pain or balance issues.
Actually, many folks in our tight-knit Boone County community face this exact struggle every single day in their own homes.
Fortunately, we can swap your old hazardous basin for a modern, low-threshold alternative designed for ultimate safety and deep relaxation.
This simple bathroom upgrade changes everything for your daily routine.
By lowering the entry barrier to just a few inches, you instantly eliminate the fear of slipping while getting wet.
Which means you get to keep your independence and enjoy hot baths without needing anyone to help you balance.
Naturally, you might worry about the mess and the cost of such a big home renovation project.
That is why our friendly local crew offers a no-obligation assessment right in your home.
We look at your plumbing, measure the space, and help you find a setup that fits your budget perfectly.
These specialized bathing units feature a watertight door built right into the side of the acrylic wall.
Because of this smart design, you simply open the door, walk right in, and sit down on a raised, molded seat.
Then, you seal the heavy-duty door latch and fill the basin with warm, soothing water up to your chest.
Safety features come standard on almost every model we put in.
For example, slip-resistant floors prevent your feet from sliding around when things get soapy.
On top of that, strategically placed grab bars give you sturdy handholds to pull yourself up with absolute confidence.
If you love a spa experience, you can choose models with heated backrests and hydrotherapy jets.
These warm water massage streams do wonders for sore muscles, arthritic knees, and lower back stiffness.
Actually, it feels like having a personal hot spring right inside your master bathroom.
Houses in our local area come in all shapes and sizes, which means bathroom dimensions vary quite a bit.
Luckily, these accessible tubs are designed to fit into the exact same footprint as your standard sixty-inch alcove.
This compatibility saves you from having to tear down walls or completely reroute your existing drain pipes.
For smaller bathrooms, compact models with outward-swinging doors are available to maximize your interior legroom.
Conversely, larger bathrooms can easily accommodate wide, bariatric models that offer extra seat room and sturdier frames.
We help you navigate these choices so you do not end up buying a unit that blocks your bathroom vanity.
| Tub Type | Key Feature | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Soaker | Deep water depth | Full body immersion and warmth |
| Hydrotherapy Model | Water and air jets | Targeted massage for sore joints |
| Wheelchair Accessible | Extra-wide L-shaped door | Easy seated transfers from a chair |
Choosing the right configuration depends heavily on your mobility level and future needs.
We want this investment to serve you well for decades, not just for the next couple of years.
That is why we sit down with you to discuss how we can customize the grab bar placement and faucet controls.
Many homeowners worry that their entire house will become a chaotic construction zone for weeks.
However, our experienced team usually wraps up the physical swap in just one or two days.
We arrive on time, protect your carpets with heavy drop cloths, and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
First, we carefully remove your old porcelain or fiberglass tub without damaging the surrounding drywall.
After that, we inspect the subfloor for hidden water damage or rot to ensure a rock-solid foundation for the new unit.
Fixing these hidden issues now saves you from massive headaches and expensive structural repairs down the road.
Next, we upgrade your plumbing drains and install high-flow faucets to speed up the filling and draining process.
Since these tubs hold more water than standard models, we want to make sure you do not get chilled waiting for it to drain.
Our fast-drain technology sucks the water out quickly so you can open the door and step out warm and dry.

Therefore, we focus on delivering high-quality, durable solutions that truly add long-term value to your property.
Whether you live near the historic downtown area or out in the quiet rural spots of ZIP code 65240, we travel directly to your doorstep.
Being a local business means we understand Missouri building codes inside and out, ensuring your project is fully compliant.
You will never have to worry about cut corners, cheap materials, or sketchy, unpermitted work.
We treat your home with the same respect we would show to our own grandparents' houses.
Because we live nearby, we are always available to help if you ever need a quick adjustment or have a question.
We pride ourselves on building real relationships with our clients instead of just chasing quick sales.
Naturally, people often ask if their current water heater can handle the demands of a deeper soaking basin.
Usually, a standard fifty-gallon water heater does the job wonderfully, but we always test your system beforehand.
If your hot water supply is a bit weak, we can suggest simple, cost-effective upgrades to keep your baths nice and hot.
Another frequent concern is the potential for leaks around the door seal over time.
To prevent this, our manufacturers use heavy-duty, lifetime-guaranteed silicone gaskets that seal tighter as the water pressure rises.
This design ensures your bathroom floor stays bone-dry, preventing dangerous puddles that cause slips and falls.
Cleaning these units is actually much easier than scrubbing a traditional low-slung bathtub.
Since you can sit comfortably on the built-in seat, you do not have to bend over or get on your knees to wipe the surfaces.
A gentle spray with a mild cleaner keeps the high-gloss acrylic finish looking brand new for years.
Do not wait for a scary slip or an injury to force you into making changes to your home.
Proactive modifications allow you to enjoy your golden years in the familiar neighborhood you love so much.
Indeed, staying in your own home is much more affordable than moving into an expensive assisted living facility.
Our team makes the entire estimation process incredibly simple, friendly, and stress-free.
We come out to your house, look at your bathroom layout, and give you a written estimate with zero pressure to buy.
This allows you to discuss options with your family and make an informed decision on your own timeline.
When you are ready to reclaim your peace of mind and elevate your daily self-care, reach out to us.
We are excited to help you design a beautiful, accessible bathroom that keeps you safe and relaxed.

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 Centralia.
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.
