The Elmwood crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Pierce 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 in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain as the years slip by.
Fortunately, we specialize in setting up those custom, low-threshold bathing units with built-in seats and leak-proof doors that keep you secure.
If you want to regain your independence at home, we can help you out with an on-site estimate right away.
Stepping over a high tub wall on slippery bathroom tiles is a recipe for a nasty slip.
This is why our dedicated team installs specialized accessible baths with integrated entry gates that eliminate the need to climb.
By choosing this upgrade, you protect your safety while keeping your daily routine completely private.
You do not have to move to an assisted living facility just because your current bathroom feels risky.
Instead, a quick renovation can transform your existing layout into a secure haven of relaxation.
We make the entire process stress-free by managing every single step from measurement to final cleanup.
Many folks wonder how we actually fit these deep, safety-focused basins into a standard home.
Actually, these units are designed to match the footprint of your old traditional tub perfectly.
This means we do not have to tear down your entire bathroom just to give you a safer way to wash.
When our team arrives at your home, we carefully measure your doorway clearances and existing plumbing lines.
Which means we can identify any potential hiccups before we even bring the new heavy unit inside.
You get a seamless fit without any unexpected structural surprises along the way.
Our skilled crew handles all the heavy lifting and the tricky sealing process to ensure zero leaks.
Because these deep basins hold a lot of water, we also check your floor joists for proper support.
This attention to detail keeps your home safe from water damage for decades to come.
First of all, you get to sit down on a raised, molded seat while you bathe.
This is a game-changer for anyone dealing with nagging back pain or balance issues.
You can finally enjoy a long, hot soak without worrying about how you will stand back up.
On top of that, these units feature fast-draining technology so you do not freeze while waiting for the water to empty.
As soon as you finish your bath, the powerful dual drains whisk the water away in under eighty seconds.
Then you simply swing the door open and step out onto your bath mat without any struggle.
To help you compare your options, we created a handy table showing how these units stack up against old-fashioned tubs.
| Feature | Standard Tub | Our Accessible Units |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 15 to 18 inches | Under 3 inches |
| Bathing Position | Lying down on floor | Comfortable upright seat |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Grab bars and slip-resistant floor |
As you can see, the differences are night and day when it comes to your peace of mind.
Investing in this upgrade is really about investing in your ability to stay in your beloved home.
We take great pride in delivering this level of security to our neighbors.
Naturally, you might worry about having contractors mess up your home for weeks on end.
However, our experienced crew usually wraps up the entire job in just one or two days.
We work quickly and cleanly because we know how disruptive home renovations can be.
On the first morning, we carefully remove your old cast iron or acrylic tub and dispose of it.
Next, we inspect the exposed wall studs and subfloor to make sure there is no hidden mold.
If we find any rot, we fix it immediately so your new setup sits on a rock-solid foundation.
After that, we run new plumbing lines to match the faucet and drain locations of your new unit.
This lets you enjoy high-flow fixtures that fill your deep tub much faster than standard faucets.
Once everything is hooked up, we run a complete wet-test to guarantee every single seal is watertight.
Since these deep-soak units hold more water than a tiny standard tub, your old heater might need an assist.
We always check your current hot water capacity during our initial visit to make sure you will not run cold.
If needed, we can recommend a fast tankless system that provides endless warm water for your baths.
This means you can soak for as long as you want without ever running out of heat.
Having this extra capacity also adds significant value to your overall home plumbing system.
It is a smart upgrade that pairs perfectly with your new accessible bathroom layout.

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 Elmwood.
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.
