The Fogelsville crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Lehigh 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.
You can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet bathroom tiles every single time you want to wash up.
Our professional team specializes in putting in those deep, secure personal baths with a leak-proof side door so you do not have to step over a high barrier anymore.
Which means you get your independence back and can relax without any fear of falling.
Actually, many folks in the local area find themselves struggling with standard showers as they get a bit older.
Because of this, we travel right to your home to look at your layout and give you a complete estimate without any high-pressure sales tactics.
This lets you make the best choice for your home and your peace of mind.
First of all, conventional basins have incredibly high walls that require some serious balance to navigate safely.
If you think about it, lifting your leg over a nineteen-inch barrier on a slippery floor is a recipe for disaster.
That is why swapping your old setup for a modern, low-threshold entry unit completely changes the safety equation in your home.
On top of that, these specialized soaking units come packed with watertight seals that keep the water inside where it belongs.
You will love the sturdy built-in seating because it lets you sit down comfortably while the warm water surrounds you.
Consequently, you do not have to stand on tired joints just to get clean after a long day.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we put together a simple table comparing your old setup to these modern safety upgrades.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Our Safety Entry Units |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 15 to 20 inches | Ultra-low (under 4 inches) |
| Seating | None (must sit on floor) | Contoured built-in bench |
| Safety Bars | Usually none added | Integrated heavy-duty grab rails |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow drain | Powered fast-drain technology |
Naturally, some people think about trying to handle this type of plumbing project all by themselves.
However, fitting a heavy, high-tech basin into an existing alcove requires some serious knowledge of framing, plumbing, and finishing.
Our crew handles the entire heavy lifting, ensuring that the new unit matches up perfectly with your current pipes.
Which brings us to the actual structural integrity of your bathroom floor.
Because these deep-soaking units hold more water than a standard model, they weigh quite a bit when filled to the top.
For this reason, we inspect your joists during our visit to make sure everything is strong enough to support your new sanctuary.
Additionally, we take care of the old fixture disposal so you do not have to worry about junking it.
This means you can just sit back with a cup of coffee while we transform your space into a zone of pure coziness.
Indeed, our goal is to leave your home cleaner than we found it.
Moreover, you do not have to settle for a boring, industrial-looking medical device in your home.
We offer gorgeous acrylic finishes that match your existing vanity and wall surrounds beautifully.
Which allows you to maintain the aesthetic appeal of your home while adding crucial safety features.
Plus, you can choose from various therapeutic options like air jets or heated backrests.
These features help soothe aching muscles and improve circulation after a busy afternoon of gardening or walking.
As a result, your daily wash turns into a relaxing spa-like experience that you actually look forward to.
Now, nobody wants to sit shivering in a wet basin waiting for all that water to slowly trickle away.
That is why we install high-speed drainage pumps that empty the entire vessel in just a couple of minutes.
This lets you open the side door and exit safely without catching a cold while you wait.
Furthermore, these fast-acting drains use heavy-duty components that resist clogging from hair and soap scum.
Which means you will not have to call a plumber every few months to clear out the pipes.
You get a reliable, low-maintenance system that works perfectly every single time you use it.
Living in this beautiful part of Pennsylvania means dealing with some chilly winters that make your joints ache.
Our team loves helping neighbors throughout the unincorporated community of Fogelsville find relief from the cold with these deep, warming basins.
With a local population of around 900 residents in the 18051 ZIP code area, we treat everyone like a close neighbor because you practically are.
Whether you live near the local park or closer to the historic routes, we know the local housing styles inside and out.
Many homes here feature traditional plumbing setups that require specific adjustments during the integration process.
Therefore, our familiar face at your door means the job gets done right the very first time without any costly delays.
Since the median household income in this specific pocket of the state is listed statistically at $0, we know everyone appreciates honest pricing.
We focus on delivering high-quality craftsmanship that fits your budget without adding sneaky hidden fees later on.
This straightforward approach has made us a trusted name for home modifications around here.
First, we start with your in-home evaluation to measure your doorway clearances and check your water heater capacity.
Sometimes, upgrading your basin means we also need to ensure your water heater can handle the larger volume of hot water.
This upfront check prevents any cold surprises during your very first soak.
Next, we carefully remove your outdated fixture and prep the subfloor for the new load-bearing unit.
We run new supply lines and align the drain system to guarantee a leak-free fit.
Once we secure the slip-resistant basin, we seal all the edges with mold-resistant silicone for a pristine finish.
Finally, we run a complete test cycle to make sure the door seal is completely watertight and the jets work perfectly.
We walk you through every single feature so you feel totally confident using your new setup.
You will know exactly how to operate the door latch, the speed drains, and the wand attachments before we leave.
Importantly, the textured floor inside our units prevents slips even when the surface is covered in soap suds.
On top of that, the grab bars are strategically placed to help you stand up without straining your back or knees.
Which means you maintain your dignity and privacy without needing a family member to assist you.
Another great feature is the anti-scald technology built right into the faucet system.
This prevents sudden bursts of hot water from burning sensitive skin if someone else runs a tap elsewhere in the house.
Consequently, you can enjoy your soak with total peace of mind.
Fortunately, our high-gloss acrylic surfaces are incredibly easy to keep clean without harsh scrubbing.
The material naturally resists mold, mildew, and yellowing over time, which saves you hours of chores.
Just a quick wipe with a damp cloth after your bath keeps it looking brand new for years to come.
This durability ensures that your investment continues to add value to your property.
Should you ever decide to sell your home, future buyers will appreciate having a high-end safety feature already installed.
It is a smart upgrade that benefits you now and protects your asset for the future.
Do not wait for an accidental slip to force your hand into making a stressful, sudden decision.

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 Fogelsville.
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.
