The Frierson crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over De Soto Parish. 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 older or dealing with limited mobility can turn a simple daily shower into a scary chore. Naturally you want to keep your independence at home without constantly worrying about slipping on wet tiles. This is why many homeowners are now swapping their old high-walled basins for a much safer alternative that you can just step right into without lifting your legs high.
Fortunately our dedicated team specializes in setting up these specialized, leak-proof bathing units directly in your home. By choosing this smart upgrade, you instantly eliminate the dangerous barrier of a standard tub wall. We make the transition completely stress-free by visiting your property to measure your space and give you a clear plan.
To help you understand your options, we offer a completely free estimate with absolutely no pressure. This allows you to plan your budget properly while discovering how easy it is to transform your bathroom. You deserve to feel safe and relaxed every single time you want to wash up.
Traditional showers often require you to balance on one foot while stepping over a steep ledge. Because of this design flaw, thousands of people experience nasty falls in their bathrooms every single year. Our low-threshold entry units solve this problem by letting you walk straight inside through a secure, watertight door.
Once you are inside, you can sit down on a comfortable, built-in contoured bench. This means you no longer have to stand up on slippery surfaces while trying to wash your hair or rinse off. Instead, you just sit back, relax, and let the warm water do its magic.
On top of that, these units come loaded with heavy-duty grab bars and non-slip floors. These safety features give you extra leverage and solid stability when you stand up or sit down. You will immediately regain your peace of mind and look forward to your daily bath again.
You might wonder how we actually fit these deep, specialized vessels into a standard bathroom layout. Actually, our experienced crew knows how to carefully remove your old fixture without destroying your surrounding walls. We handle all the heavy lifting and disposal so you do not have to worry about the messy cleanup.
To give you a better idea of what to expect during the project, we have broken down the main phases of our service below.
| Project Phase | What We Do for You | Your Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| In-Home Consultation | We measure your bathroom and check your plumbing layout. | You get an accurate, personalized plan. |
| Demolition & Prep | We safely extract your old tub and inspect the subfloor. | No structural rot or mold gets left behind. |
| Integration & Plumbing | We connect the new drain, faucets, and secure the door seal. | You enjoy a leak-free system that drains fast. |
| Final Inspection | We test every single seal and show you how to use the controls. | You feel 100% confident in your new setup. |
Since every home has unique plumbing, we customize our approach to match your specific floor plan. Sometimes we need to upgrade your water heater or adjust the drain lines to ensure rapid draining. Which means we take care of all the tricky technical details so your system works flawlessly from day one.
We absolutely love working in this quiet, tight-knit pocket of the Pelican State. With a small population of around 225 residents, neighbors here truly look out for one another. It is the kind of peaceful place where people prefer staying in their family homes for as long as possible.
Many homes located in the 71027 ZIP code feature older layouts that were not built with modern accessibility in mind. Even though the median household income is recorded at $0, investing in home safety actually saves you money by preventing expensive medical bills later. We always strive to provide affordable options that fit the budgets of our local community members.
Living in this beautiful southern region means enjoying life at a slower, more relaxed pace. Our goal is to help you stay in your beloved home for decades without needing to relocate to an assisted living facility. We treat every customer like family because we are proud to serve our local neighbors.
Beyond the obvious safety aspects, these deep-soaking units offer an incredible, spa-like experience. For example, many models feature therapeutic water jets that target sore muscles and stiff joints. This lets you soothe your back and legs after a long day of working in the yard or walking around town.
Additionally, the deep water design allows for full body submersion while you remain safely seated. Unlike standard shallow tubs, you can actually keep your upper body warm and covered in water. This brings a whole new level of coziness and physical relief to your daily routine.
To make things even better, we can install fast-fill faucets and high-speed drain systems. This prevents you from sitting in the cold while waiting for the water to fill up or empty out. You get a fast, efficient, and deeply satisfying experience every single time.
When selecting your new basin, you can choose between doors that swing inward or outward. Inward-swinging doors use the natural pressure of the water to keep the seal tight and prevent any leaks. However, outward-swinging doors make it much easier to exit the unit in an emergency or transfer from a wheelchair.
We will sit down with you to discuss your physical needs and spatial limitations. This ensures you select the absolute best door configuration for your specific daily movements. Our main priority is making your bathroom as user-friendly as possible.
Because these deep vessels hold much more water than a standard tub, your current water heater might need an upgrade to keep up. We can assess your existing thermal capacity during our initial visit. This prevents the unpleasant surprise of running out of hot water halfway through your bath.
If needed, we can recommend efficient solutions like tankless heaters to ensure endless warmth. This step guarantees you can enjoy a long, deep soak without any chilly interruptions. We look at the big picture so your entire bathroom system works in perfect harmony.
Taking the first step toward a safer home is much easier than you think. You do not have to struggle with high tub walls or live in constant fear of slipping anymore. Our friendly team is ready to come out, evaluate your space, and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.
We take great pride in our honest pricing and meticulous attention to detail. This means you will never have to deal with hidden fees or messy, unfinished work. We handle the entire job from start to finish with the utmost respect for your home.
Do not wait for an accidental fall to force your hand into making this necessary change. Contact us today to schedule your complimentary home assessment and take back your independence. You will love the renewed sense of freedom and security that comes with a modernized bathroom.
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 Frierson.
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.
