The Forest Junction crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Calumet 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 into the bath shouldn't feel like climbing a mountain. Yet, for many of us, that high step over the porcelain barrier becomes a daily source of anxiety. If you feel uneasy every time you bathe, you are definitely not alone in this struggle.
Fortunately, a simple home upgrade can bring back your independence and peace of mind. By replacing your standard basin with a specialized, low-threshold door unit, you can enjoy hot baths without the fear of slipping. We help homeowners make this transition smoothly and safely.
Our team visits your home to assess your current layout and discuss the best options for your needs. This face-to-face consultation ensures you get accurate information without any guesswork. Best of all, we provide a complete, obligation-free price estimate right on the spot.
Safety is the most obvious reason to consider this upgrade, but the advantages go far beyond just preventing falls. These unique accessible chambers allow you to sit comfortably at chair height while the water surrounds you. This means you do not have to struggle to get up from the floor of a standard basin.
Imagine relaxing your muscles under warm water while sitting upright and feeling completely secure. Specialized contour seating provides excellent back support, which relieves pressure on your joints. On top of that, strategically placed grab bars give you extra leverage whenever you need to shift position.
To help you compare your options, we have laid out the key differences between traditional setups and these accessible units below:
| Feature | Traditional Bathtub | Accessible Entry Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Usually 14 to 18 inches | Only 2 to 6 inches |
| Seating Style | Flat on the floor | Contoured chair height |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Integrated grab bars and non-slip floors |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow drain | Fast-drain technology |
As you can see, the design differences focus entirely on keeping you secure and comfortable. Which means you can look forward to bath time again instead of dreading the physical effort. Our local team takes care of the entire swap from start to finish.
You might worry that modifying your bathroom will turn your home into a messy construction zone for weeks. However, our experienced crew has refined the installation process to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We usually complete the main setup in just a day or two.
First, we carefully remove your old fixture and inspect the plumbing underneath to ensure everything is up to par. This lets us address any hidden water damage or outdated pipes before the new unit goes in. Next, we reinforce the subfloor to handle the weight of the new system safely.
Once the prep work is complete, we slide the new watertight enclosure into place and connect the fixtures. We test the door seal multiple times to guarantee a leak-free performance for years to come. After a thorough cleanup, we walk you through how to operate all the features so you feel fully confident.
Every home is different, and everyone has unique physical needs when it comes to self-care. That is why we offer a wide variety of door configurations, including outward-opening and inward-opening models. This flexibility ensures we can fit the unit perfectly even in tight, compact bathrooms.
In addition to door styles, you can choose from various hydrotherapy jet options to soothe sore muscles. These heated air and water massage systems can help improve circulation and relieve chronic stiffness. You can also opt for fast-fill faucets so you do not have to sit waiting in the cold.
Our friendly technicians will explain these features in plain English during your home visit. We want you to make an informed decision that fits your budget and lifestyle. There is never any pressure, just honest advice from neighbors who care.

A frequent question we hear is whether the door will eventually start leaking and damage the bathroom floor. This is a very valid concern, which is why we only use heavy-duty, commercial-grade silicone seals. The pressure of the water actually helps push the door shut, creating an incredibly tight barrier.
Another worry is the chill you might feel while waiting for the tub to fill and drain. To solve this, we offer high-speed drainage pumps that empty the water in a fraction of the usual time. This means you can open the door and step out almost immediately after you finish your bath.
We believe in transparency, which is why we discuss these technical details openly during our initial visit. Knowing how the technology works helps you feel secure in your investment. We want you to enjoy your new setup without a single worry on your mind.

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 Junction.
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.
