The Forest City crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Rutherford 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.
Every single day we hear about people slipping on wet tiles while trying to climb over a high porcelain barrier just to take a simple bath.
Fortunately, you can completely eliminate this scary daily hazard by upgrading your bathroom with a modern, low-threshold bathing system that features a leak-proof side door.
Our friendly local team travels right to your home in Rutherford County to assess your current setup and provide a written estimate.
Taking this step helps you regain your independence and peace of mind without any stressful guesswork.
This means you can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips and start enjoying a deeply relaxing, spa-like soak in your own home.
We make the entire upgrade process incredibly simple and affordable for everyday families who want to stay safe.
When you start researching these specialized deep-soaking units with integrated swinging doors, the sheer number of features might feel a bit overwhelming.
First of all, you need to understand that these heavy-duty basins are specifically engineered to replace your standard, high-sided traditional basin.
This clever design allows you to step inside over an incredibly low threshold that measures only a few inches high.
This layout prevents you from having to balance on one slippery foot while swinging your leg over a dangerous tub wall.
Which is why so many folks who deal with stiff joints or balance issues find these units to be absolute lifesavers.
On top of that, these watertight vessels come equipped with built-in contoured seating so you never have to lower yourself all the way down to the floor level.
To help you compare the different styles we offer, we put together a handy little table below.
| Model Type | Key Feature | Main Benefit for You |
|---|---|---|
| Soaker Basin | Deep water capacity | Warm, full-body submersion without cold spots |
| Hydrotherapy Unit | Adjustable water jets | Deep muscle massage and improved circulation |
| Air Jet System | Gentle warm air bubbles | Soft skin stimulation and soothing relaxation |
| Bariatric Design | Extra-wide entry door | Maximum room and stability for larger frames |
Choosing the right configuration depends entirely on your physical needs and the physical dimensions of your current washroom.
That is why we sit down with you to measure your space and discuss your daily routine.
This personalized approach ensures you get a custom-tailored setup that fits your body and your home perfectly.
You might be tempted to hire a random handyman to slap one of these heavy units into your washroom, but that often leads to major headaches.
Because these specialized basins require highly precise leveling and advanced plumbing connections, a novice can easily cause hidden water damage.
Our experienced crew possesses the exact tools and specialized training required to handle heavy composite materials without cracking your subfloor.
This professional touch guarantees that your new door seal remains 100% watertight for many years to come.
Furthermore, we handle all the tricky plumbing adjustments, including installing high-flow faucets that fill the basin up surprisingly fast.
We also make sure your hot water heater can handle the new volume so you never get stuck shivering.
Letting us do the heavy lifting means you do not have to worry about pulling local permits or hauling away your heavy old cast-iron fixture.
We take care of the messy demolition, the cleanup, and the final safety testing before we ever call the job finished.
You get to sit back, relax, and watch your washroom transform into a secure haven of relaxation.
Many homeowners do not realize how many built-in safety mechanisms these modern accessible vessels actually contain.
For instance, the slip-resistant textured flooring keeps your feet planted firmly even when the surface is covered in slick soapy water.
This feature works hand-in-hand with securely anchored safety grab bars that give you a solid handhold whenever you stand up or sit down.
Another incredible feature is the rapid-drain technology that empties the entire basin in a matter of seconds.
This speedy drainage prevents you from sitting there freezing while waiting for the water level to drop so you can open the door.
Every single detail is designed to maximize your physical security and overall physical ease of use.
Now, let us talk about the elephant in the room, which is the overall cost of this home improvement project.
While these specialized accessible units represent a significant upfront investment, they actually save you money by letting you stay in your beloved home longer.
Avoiding a single bad fall can save you thousands of dollars in medical bills and assisted living expenses down the road.
This smart investment also boosts the overall value of your property, making it highly attractive to future buyers who prioritize accessibility.

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 Forest City.
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.
