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.
Every single day we take our daily bath for granted until a slippery floor suddenly turns into a scary hazard. This is why we specialize in setting up custom, accessible bathing units with sealed doors so you can regain your independence at home. By choosing this smart upgrade, you instantly eliminate the high step over a traditional basin wall and dramatically lower your risk of falling.
Indeed, our team makes the entire process incredibly simple. We handle everything from the initial measurements to the final plumbing connections. If you want to see how this fits into your home, we can visit your property to provide a free project estimate today.
When you look closely at these specialized deep-soaking units, you will notice they represent a massive leap forward in modern bathroom design. They feature a heavy-duty watertight door seal that keeps every drop of water inside the vessel while you soak. This means you do not have to climb over a wet, slippery ledge just to wash your hair or relax your muscles.
Because safety remains our absolute focus, each unit comes equipped with integrated grab bars and contoured slip-resistant seating. To give you a better idea of how these custom units compare to standard options, we compiled some key features below.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Accessible Sealed Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | Low 2 to 6 inches |
| Seating Area | None (lay down only) | Contoured built-in bench |
| Safety Bars | Must buy separately | Integrated heavy-duty bars |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow drain | Fast-drain powered system |
To make things even better, these units often include soothing water jets that target sore muscles in your back and legs. This therapeutic action turns a basic chore into a highly relaxing ritual. You deserve to feel pampered while staying completely safe in your own home.
Now, you might wonder how we actually get one of these large units into your existing bathroom layout. First, we carefully measure your doorway and current plumbing footprint to ensure a perfect fit. Since we respect your home, our technicians protect your floors with drop cloths before we even bring in our tools.
Next, we disconnect and remove your old, outdated tub without damaging the surrounding drywall. This lets us inspect the subfloor underneath for any hidden water damage or mold. If we find any weak spots, we repair them immediately so your new heavy-duty unit has a rock-solid foundation.
After preparing the space, we slide the new unit into position and connect the advanced plumbing lines. Which means we hook up the high-flow faucets, the hand-held shower wand, and the rapid-drain system. Finally, we run a comprehensive water test to guarantee that the door seal is absolutely airtight and leak-proof.
On top of the basic safety features, you can choose from several exciting upgrades to match your personal style. For instance, heated backrests keep you warm while the deep basin fills with water. This prevents you from catching a chill during those cold coastal Massachusetts winters.
Furthermore, we offer various color finishes for the hardware to match your existing vanity and sink faucets. You can select classic chrome, brushed nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze. This ensures your new bathroom looks beautiful and cohesive rather than clinical.
Surprisingly, most of our setups take only one or two days to complete from start to finish. Our experienced crew works efficiently so your daily routine suffers very little disruption. We clean up every speck of dust before we leave your home.
Once the work is done, we sit down with you and explain exactly how to operate the door latch and the jet controls. We want you to feel 100% confident using your new setup. Your peace of mind is our ultimate goal.

Naturally, some folks worry about how long they will have to sit in the tub while it drains out completely. Fortunately, our advanced fast-drain technology empties the entire basin in under two minutes. This means you do not have to sit shivering while waiting to open the watertight door.
Another common question involves the overall cost of plumbing modifications for older homes. Sometimes, older pipes require a bit of extra attention to handle the high-volume faucets. However, we assess all of these details upfront during our initial visit so you never face surprise fees on your final bill.
Additionally, we look at your water heater capacity to ensure it can fill the deeper basin with plenty of hot water. If your current water heater is a bit too small, we can suggest simple, affordable solutions to keep the warm water flowing. We believe in being honest about these technical details from day one.
To keep your new unit looking brand new, you only need to use mild soap and a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners because they can dull the high-gloss finish of the acrylic shell. This simple routine keeps the surface sparkling clean with minimal physical effort.
Likewise, the silicone door seal requires very little maintenance over the years. Simply wipe it down after your bath to prevent soap scum buildup. This simple step ensures the seal remains flexible and completely watertight for the life of the unit.
If you are ready to stop worrying about slips and falls in the bathroom, we are here to help you make this vital change.

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 East Falmouth.
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.
