Taking a relaxing bath should feel like a true slice of heaven instead of a scary balancing act on slippery porcelain.

We specialize in transforming these hazardous setups into ultra-safe personal sanctuaries where you can soak away your aches without any fear of slipping.
When you choose to upgrade your bathroom, you are investing in your peace of mind and long-term safety. Our expert team travels directly to your home to evaluate your current layout and help you select the perfect watertight swinging-door bath system. We handle everything from the initial measurements to the final plumbing connections so you can enjoy a stress-free transition.
Because every home layout is unique, we offer an in-home assessment to plan your perfect bathroom upgrade.

Modern sealed-door soaking systems come in various shapes and sizes to fit into almost any existing bathroom footprint. Many homeowners do not realize that these specialized units can actually slide right into the exact same space where their old, drafty tub sits today. This means you do not have to undergo a massive, messy home renovation project just to get the safety features you need.
To help you visualize the different possibilities for your home, we have put together a quick comparison of the most popular styles we install. Each design offers specific advantages depending on your physical needs and the size of your bathroom.
| System Style | Key Features | Primary Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Soaker Model | Deep walls, basic leak-proof door, built-in seat | Affordable, straightforward safety and relaxation |
| Hydrotherapy Unit | Adjustable water jets, targeted muscle massage | Relieves arthritis, joint pain, and muscle stiffness |
| Air Jet System | Gentle bubbling action, soft skin stimulation | Improves circulation and provides a soothing touch |
| Bariatric Design | Extra-wide door and seat, reinforced frame | Accommodates larger frames with complete security |
Choosing the right model depends on your daily routine and what brings you the most physical relief. Our friendly technicians will walk you through these options during your consultation to find the perfect match for your lifestyle.
Standard tubs require you to balance on one foot while lifting your other leg over a high barrier which is a recipe for disaster on wet floors. By contrast, our specialized sealed-entry units feature an incredibly low step-in height of just a few inches. This simple design change completely eliminates the need for dangerous athletic maneuvers just to get clean.
On top of the easy entry, these systems feature contoured, ADA-compliant seating that keeps you in a comfortable, upright position while you bathe. You no longer have to struggle to lower yourself all the way down to the floor of the tub or fight to get back up. This brings back the joy of a deep, warm soak without the physical strain or the need to ask for assistance.
Additionally, we integrate heavy-duty grab bars and slip-resistant flooring directly into the unit to provide multiple points of stability. You will feel completely secure from the moment you step inside to the moment you drain the water and exit. It is all about restoring your dignity and letting you care for yourself on your own terms.
Many folks worry about water leaking all over their bathroom floor, but our premium units feature heavy-duty, lifetime-guaranteed pressure seals. When you close the heavy-duty latch, the silicone gasket forms an impenetrable barrier that keeps every drop of water exactly where it belongs. The weight of the water inside actually helps press the door closed even tighter during your bath.
To make the experience even better, these systems utilize advanced fast-drain technology to empty the basin in a fraction of the time of a standard drain. This means you will not have to sit shivering in the cold while waiting for the water to empty before you can open the door. It is a smart design detail that makes a world of difference in your daily routine.
Warm water therapy has been trusted for centuries to soothe aching muscles, reduce joint inflammation, and lower daily stress levels. Having a deep-soaking unit in your home means you can access these therapeutic benefits whenever you want, day or night. It is like having a private spa session right in your own master suite.
For those suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis or poor circulation, the targeted air and water jets can provide targeted relief to your lower back, hips, and legs. You will likely find yourself sleeping better and moving with greater ease after just a few weeks of regular soaking. It is a natural, drug-free way to manage your physical discomfort.
We pride ourselves on delivering top-tier craftsmanship and treating your home with the utmost respect throughout the entire process.

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 Floris.
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.
