A safe bath in Desire Projects begins with a sealed door and a four inch step. The New Orleans crew nearby sees the whole change through in days.
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.
On top of that, these tall specialized baths hold warmth amazingly well. Hydrotherapy water jets massage your sore back muscles while you just lean back and chill out. Actually, you get to sit upright on a built-in bench instead of trying to get up off the slick floor!
Furthermore, quick drainage pumps empty all the heavy water out super fast. Leak-proof door seals keep your subfloor totally dry and free from rotten mold damage. Plus, having strong grab bars right where you need them gives you incredible balance every single time.
In addition, removing your old heavy cast iron tub takes some real muscle and careful hauling. Professional basin setup includes running brand new supply pipes and fixing up your nearby drywall or tile. Next, our crew hooks up electrical lines if you choose high-end heated seating options.

| Project Stage | What Gets Done | Your Big Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Home Survey | We measure your doorways and check old pipes | Zero surprise costs on invoice day |
| Removal Stage | We haul away the heavy old tub carefully | No back strain or trash hassles for you |
| New Tub Placement | We secure the low-entry basin and seal edges | Total peace of mind while bathing safely |
Consequently, picking simple features keeps your initial investment pretty low and basic. Air massage jets might cost a bit more up front, but your body will totally thank you forever. Either way, our detailed estimates list every single part so you know what you pay for!
Likewise, picking out solid brass faucet fixtures ensures your set lasts for many decades to come. Fast-fill water valves mean you will not freeze waiting for the big tub to fill up. Meanwhile, hand-held shower heads make rinsing your hair totally effortless while staying seated safely on the bench.
Besides that, slip-resistant floor textures prevent sudden foot slides while you stand up to dry off. Integrated safety grab rails match your chrome or brushed nickel hardware seamlessly... making everything look real nice! Pretty soon, your bathroom turns into a cozy relaxing haven that rivals any luxury spa nearby.
For instance, homes around the 70126 zone often need careful floor reinforcement before heavy water tubs drop in. Expert plumbing upgrades guarantee your home drainage handles high water volumes without backing up into your sink. Therefore, our team checks every detail of your house structure before any major work starts up.
Granted, local neighborhood rebuild projects mean floor plans can be a bit tight and narrow sometimes. Space saving soaking designs fit right into standard five-foot alcoves without tearing down whole walls. Which means you keep your overall remodel costs down while getting maximum practical relief every day!
Then, we walk you through all the material choices like durable high-gloss acrylic surfaces. Easy clean finishes wipe down with simple soap so you never scrub on your hands and knees. Moreover, acrylic retains heat way better than cold metal tubs, keeping your bath water hot for hours!
Additionally, we check your water heater capacity to make sure you have enough hot water ready. Tankless water heater additions can be added to your quote if your old unit is too small. That way, you never run out of warm water right in the middle of a soak!
By the way, our experienced crews finish most standard tub swaps in just a couple days. Clean work zones mean we cover your floors with drop cloths and haul away every piece of old trash. Consequently, you get your shiny new bathroom back fast without living in a dusty construction mess!
Finally, correct installation protects your home value and keeps manufacturer warranties fully valid for life. Factory backed warranties mean you rest easy knowing your long term investment is totally safe. So taking that step toward safer bathing brings immediate warmth and easy living back into your home!
Next, pick out your favorite seat height, jet locations, and beautiful wall surround colors. Custom bath designs match any style from traditional looks to crisp modern home setups easily. Ultimately, you get a beautiful space that makes daily washing feel like a real treat again!
To finish up, approve your tailored estimate and let our friendly crew handle all the heavy lifting. Reliable schedule times mean we show up promptly and finish the job completely right on time. Go ahead and start your quick request now to enjoy true peace of mind real 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 Desire Projects.
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.
