Getting into a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain as we get older or deal with stiff joints. Luckily, you can swap that risky old basin for a safe, low-threshold bathing unit that lets you just walk right in and sit down. If you want to stay in your beloved home forever, this simple bathroom upgrade changes everything for your daily routine.
Suddenly, you do not have to worry about slipping on wet porcelain anymore. This is because these specialized deep-soaking units feature a leak-proof door built right into the side. You simply open the gate, step over a tiny threshold of just a few inches, and sit down on a comfortable, molded raised seat.
This smart design keeps you upright and secure while you bathe. Because of this built-in bench, you will never have to struggle to get up from the floor of a slick tub again. On top of that, heavy-duty grab bars come pre-installed to give your hands a solid place to grip the entire time.
Imagine regaining your total bathing independence without needing a family member to stand guard outside the door. This brings immense peace of mind to everyone in your household. Local homeowners in Saint Louis County are making this change to protect their health and keep living on their own terms.
First, we look at your existing layout to see how the plumbing lines up. Since these specialty fixtures are designed to match the footprint of a standard five-foot tub, they fit surprisingly well into most average spaces. This means you do not have to pay for a massive, expensive home remodel just to get the safety you need.
Next, we carefully remove your old cast iron or fiberglass tub without damaging the surrounding drywall. Our crew handles all the heavy lifting and disposes of the old debris for you. After that, we check the subfloor to make sure it can support the weight of a deep-soaking system filled with water.
Then, we run dedicated drain lines and hook up the new faucet fixtures. Because these units hold more water than a shallow tub, we often install high-flow taps and fast-draining technology. This lets you fill the basin quickly and empty it in under eighty seconds so you do not sit there shivering.
| Feature | Direct Benefit For You |
|---|---|
| Low-Step Entry | Prevents trips and falls by eliminating the need to climb over a high tub wall. |
| Contoured Seating | Allows you to sit upright and relax without straining your back or knees. |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Soothes sore muscles and improves circulation with warm, pressurized water. |
| Fast-Drain System | Saves you from waiting in the cold by emptying the water almost instantly. |
Now, you might wonder about the different styles available on the market today. Some units focus purely on basic safety, offering a clean, simple sit-down shower experience. These budget-friendly options keep things uncomplicated while still removing the major fall hazards from your daily routine.
However, you can also select deluxe models equipped with heated backrests and air massage jets. These therapeutic features turn a simple chore into a spa-like retreat right in your own home. Which means you can soothe your arthritis or tight back muscles with warm water therapy whenever you want.
To help you decide, we bring samples and brochures directly to your living room. We look at your budget, especially since we know hard-working folks in our area want real value for their dollar. We find the right balance of safety features and luxury upgrades to match your unique lifestyle.
Indeed, trying to install one of these heavy systems by yourself is a recipe for a leaky disaster. These units require precise leveling so the door seal remains completely watertight over years of heavy use.

Besides that, we handle the complex electrical hookups needed for the heated pumps and jet systems. This keeps your household code-compliant and completely safe from electrical hazards near water. We take pride in doing honest, clean work that stands up to the test of time.
First, our friendly technicians arrive on time and protect your floors with clean drop cloths. We treat your home with the utmost respect, working quickly to minimize any disruption to your day. Most of our custom bathroom transformations take just one to two days to complete from start to finish.
Once the unit is securely in place, we run a complete wet test to ensure every seal is absolutely perfect. This guarantees you will not have any hidden water leaks ruining your basement ceiling later on. Finally, we teach you exactly how to operate the door latch and the digital control panel before we leave.

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 Gilbert.
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.
