The Gotham crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Richland 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 in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees start acting up.
Fortunately, a specialized low-threshold deep soaking basin with a secure swing door can completely change your daily routine.
This smart upgrade lets you slide right onto a comfortable built-in seat without stepping over a high porcelain barrier.
Suddenly, your daily wash becomes a relaxing, stress-free escape instead of a slippery hazard.
Choosing this modern setup means you get to keep your privacy and stay in the home you love for years.
Our team helps folks make this transition easily by offering custom setups that fit right into your existing layout.
Now, you might worry about the mess and hassle of a major home renovation project.
Actually, our skilled local crew handles the entire swap quickly, often in just a day or two, so you face minimal disruption.
We even clean up every speck of dust before we leave so your new sanctuary is ready for a warm splash immediately.
Traditional tubs require a lot of balance and physical effort to use safely, especially when surfaces get slick.
By contrast, our accessible airtight sealed chambers feature ultra-low entry thresholds that measure only a few inches off the floor.
Which means you simply walk right in, close the leak-proof door, and let the warm water rise around you.
On top of that, these units come packed with therapeutic features that can soothe your aching muscles and tired joints.
For instance, strategically placed hydrotherapy jets target your lower back and legs to wash away the tension of the day.
This lets you enjoy a spa-like experience right in your own home while staying totally secure on a slip-resistant slip-free surface.
To give you a better idea of how these special units compare to traditional options, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Standard Tub | Accessible Safe Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | Under 4 inches |
| Seating | Floor level (hard to rise) | Contoured, chair-height seat |
| Safety Rails | None built-in | Integrated heavy-duty grab bars |
| Drainage Speed | Slow standard drain | Fast-pump rapid drain technology |
Investing in a secure bathing system involves choosing the right helper tools that match your specific physical needs.
Heavy-duty grab bars come pre-installed along the inner walls to give your hands a solid grip at all times.
This ensures you never lose your balance while standing up or sitting down in the warm water.
Besides the physical grip, the fast-drain technology is a massive benefit that many homeowners absolutely love.
Instead of sitting around shivering while the water slowly creeps down the pipe, the system pumps it out in under eighty seconds.
Consequently, you can open the door and step out onto your dry bath mat without catching a chilly draft.
Furthermore, we customize the handheld shower wand so you can control the water flow exactly where you want it.
This flexible hose makes washing your hair and rinsing off incredibly easy while remaining safely seated.
You get full control over your hygiene without needing to stand up or twist your body awkwardly.
Many older houses in Richland County feature compact bathrooms that require a bit of clever planning to upgrade.
Our technicians know how to measure your space precisely to find a model that slips right into your current alcove.
This precise approach saves you from paying for costly wall demolitions or major plumbing reroutes.
Speaking of the local area, we love serving our small community of about 186 residents who value sturdy, reliable craftsmanship.
We know that with a local median household income of around $35,938, every home improvement dollar needs to deliver real, lasting value.
That is why we focus on durable, American-made materials that will stand up to years of daily use without cracking or leaking.
Whether you live near the heart of the unincorporated settlement or closer to the scenic Wisconsin River, we come right to your door.
We proudly serve the entire 53540 ZIP code area, bringing our mobile showroom resources directly to your driveway.
This convenient shop-at-home experience lets you look at material samples right next to your current bathroom fixtures.
First, we start with a friendly home visit to inspect your current pipes and measure your doorway clearances.
This initial look ensures we avoid any surprises on the day of the actual swap, keeping the timeline nice and tight.
We talk about your specific mobility goals to make sure we recommend the perfect door swing and seat height.
Next, our team carefully removes your old, heavy cast iron or acrylic basin without damaging the surrounding drywall.
We then upgrade the under-floor plumbing drains to handle the fast-release water systems of your new unit.
This foundational work is critical because it guarantees your subfloor stays dry and free from mold forever.
Finally, we slide the new heavy-duty fiberglass composite shell into place and seal every seam with commercial-grade silicone.
We test every single jet, heater, and door seal twice before we declare the job finished.
This rigorous quality check ensures you get a leak-free guarantee and absolute peace of mind from day one.
Naturally, we want to be completely upfront about what to expect when making this kind of change in your home.
The biggest advantage is the instant boost in personal freedom and the drastic reduction in slip-and-fall risks.
Which means you can bathe on your own schedule without waiting for a family member to come over and assist you.
However, one downside is that you have to step inside the unit before filling it up with warm water.
This means you will spend a couple of minutes sitting on the dry seat while the basin fills up around you.
To combat this minor inconvenience, we install high-flow thermostatic valves that fill the space much faster than standard faucets.
Another factor to consider is the upfront cost of these premium, specialized fixtures compared to basic hardware store models.
Yet, when you compare this cost to the price of an assisted living facility, the investment pays for itself very quickly.
Keeping your cherished independence in your own cozy home is truly priceless for you and your worried family.
Taking the first step toward a safer home does not have to feel overwhelming or sales-heavy.
We believe in giving you all the facts, clear options, and honest pricing so you can make the best choice.
That is why we offer a completely free, no-obligation home assessment to inspect your space and give you an exact price quote.
Our friendly local technician will sit down at your kitchen table, answer your questions, and sketch out a plan.
You will see exactly how the new setup will look and how it can fit your budget without any hidden fees.
This clear, straightforward approach is how we treat our neighbors here in the beautiful state of Wisconsin.
Do not wait for a scary slip or a painful fall to force your hand on home safety.
Contact us today to schedule your free home consultation and discover how easy bathing can be again.
We look forward to helping you reclaim your daily routine with the ultimate setup of safety, simplicity, and serene warmth!
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 Gotham.
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.
