The Fontenelle crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Lincoln 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.
Look at your old bathroom setup right now... You probably feel like it is getting harder to take a nice simple soak without worrying about taking a spill. Getting a fresh, leak-proof soaking unit with an easy-entry door will completely change your daily routine!
Naturally, nobody likes thinking about losing their independence at home. Yet every single week I talk to folks who admit that getting over that steep wall of a standard bathtub feels like climbing a whole mountain. Frankly, it gets downright dangerous real fast when you mix slick porcelain, wet feet, and high stepping!
Luckily, replacing that old hazard with a low-step threshold basin keeps you totally safe. Furthermore, these amazing low-entry soaking basins let you sit down comfortably on an elevated bench while warm water surrounds you right up to your chest. That means you get to relax completely without any terrifying slipping thoughts creeping in...
Actually, making this simple home upgrade gives you back total peace of mind every morning. On top of that, your family stops stressing out every time they hear the water running in your house.
Clearly, living in our tiny slice of western Wyoming brings some unique challenges for home updates. Since our small community near the river basin has roughly 18 residents, finding experienced local tradesmen who actually travel out to rural homes can be tough!
Consequently, you need a dependable craftsman who understands small-town living and treats you like a real neighbor. Whether your neighborhood sits near the local dam or falls into our local ZIP code areas, quick reliable service makes all the difference...
Therefore, getting an exact cost breakdown up front helps you plan your home project without any nasty financial surprises down the road!
Importantly, let us dive right into what makes these customized easy-entry fixtures so awesome to use. To begin with, you get a watertight swing door that seals super tight so water never drips onto your fresh bath mat.
| Fixtures And Features | Daily Benefits For You |
|---|---|
| Low-step entry door | No more dangerous high-stepping over tall bathtub walls |
| Built-in heated seat | Keeps your back warm while the deep basin fills up |
| Fast drainage system | Lets you exit quickly without shivering in cold air |
| Hydrotherapy jets | Soothes tired muscles and sore joints naturally |
Likewise, sitting on a tall interior chair means you never have to struggle getting up from a flat floor level. Beyond that, built-in grab bars give your hands solid support right where you need it most while moving around inside!
Eventually, you will realize that bathing can actually be fun and relaxing again instead of feeling like a stressful chore. Furthermore, modern heated surfaces keep you warm while you wait for the deep tub to fill all the way up...
Honestly, I know a lot of people worry about turning their home into a messy construction zone for weeks on end. However, a properly trained bathroom contractor can swap your old basin for a low-entry water sanctuary surprisingly fast!
First off, your technician measures your existing floor space down to the exact fraction of an inch. After that, they disconnect your old plumbing fixtures carefully so your home stays totally clean and dry throughout the job.
Next, the crew slides the heavy high-wall basin into place and hooks up extra sturdy drain lines. Afterwards, they test every single water valve and door seal thoroughly to ensure zero leaks happen inside your walls.
Finally, clean wall panels get mounted seamlessly around your unit to match your decor perfectly. Because of this, the final setup looks like it was built right into your home from the start!
Obviously, every person has different physical needs and personal tastes when it comes to washing up. For example, some homeowners love intense water jets that knead tight back muscles after a long day of yard work...
Meanwhile, others prefer gentle air bubbles that soothe sensitive skin while creating a calm spa atmosphere. Moreover, handheld shower wand accessories let you wash your hair easily without getting water all over your face!
Additionally, quick-drain technology empties dozens of gallons of water in just a couple minutes flat. Which means you will not sit around getting cold waiting for the water to run down the pipe when you finish soaking...
In addition, self-cleaning ozone systems destroy bacteria automatically after you turn off the taps. That keeps your water completely fresh and clean without forcing you to scrub hard surfaces on your knees!
Regrettably, some homeowners try tackling this major plumbing task by themselves to save a few bucks. Sadly, trying to move a heavy leak-proof basin through narrow hall doorways usually ends up breaking drywall or hurting back muscles!
Furthermore, hooked-up water supply valves require strict adherence to local building codes and pipe sizing rules. Otherwise, you might suffer slow fill times or terrible back-pressure problems that ruin your soaking experience...
Instead, letting a qualified plumbing installer handle the heavy lifting guarantees your home stays completely protected. Besides, experienced pros bring specialized tools that ensure watertight seals across every single joint!
To be fair, fixing a bad DIY plumbing leak costs way more money than hiring a skilled tradesman right from the start. That is why smart homeowners choose professional help for heavy interior remodels...
Supposing you are ready to make a positive change, getting your room prepped is super easy! To start, clear away loose towels, bath mats, and soap bottles from around your old washing space.
Then, make sure the hallway pathway from your front door to the main washing area stays clear of clutter. This allows the installation team to carry heavy equipment in and out safely without bumping into your personal furniture!
Next, think about where you want extra safety bars mounted along your surrounding shower walls. That way, the installation technician can reinforce those exact spots behind the walls before finishing up the job...
Lastly, sit down with your contractor to discuss your daily morning routine and specific physical needs. Consequently, they can tailor every control valve height and jet location directly around your personal habits!
Presently, there is zero reason to keep risking a bad slip or fall in an outdated washing space. After all, enjoying a long hot soak should be the most relaxing part of your entire day...
Remember, getting a customized estimate costs you absolutely nothing and carries zero obligation to buy anything! All you need to do is reach out to set up a friendly home visit with a polite technician.
Suddenly, you will discover just how affordable and simple making your home completely safe can be. Furthermore, having a brand new easy-step soaking chamber completely transforms your daily sense of independence!
Now, go ahead and request your zero-cost evaluation today to get your custom home project started on the right foot! You deserve a reliable, cozy space where you can unwind completely every single night without worry...
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 Fontenelle.
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.
