The Gretna crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Jefferson 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.
Slipping on wet tile feels like a scary roller coaster ride nobody ever asked to join. Because of this common danger, modifying your bathing space remains one of the smartest moves you can make to stay independent at home. By replacing that old high-walled basin with a modern, low-threshold alternative, you instantly eliminate the need to balance on one foot just to get clean.
Fortunately, our dedicated crew specializes in transforming hazardous bathrooms into secure havens of relaxation. This means you can finally stop worrying about losing your footing during your morning routine. We come right to your doorstep on the West Bank of the Mississippi River to evaluate your current setup and provide a detailed, zero-obligation estimate.
Taking this step is not just about home improvement, it is about reclaiming your peace of mind. Our team handles every single aspect of the job from start to finish. You will love how simple the process feels when experienced professionals do the heavy lifting.
You might wonder how we fit a specialized deep-soaking unit into your existing bathroom footprint. Actually, most standard setups have the exact same dimensions as these high-sided safety basins. This allows us to slide the new unit right into the old spot without tearing down your entire house.
First, we carefully extract your outdated porcelain or fiberglass tub. Next, our crew inspects the exposed subfloor and plumbing lines to ensure everything is sturdy and up to code. If we find any hidden water damage or mold, we fix it immediately so your new installation rests on a rock-solid foundation.
Then, we hook up the advanced drainage systems and heavy-duty faucet fixtures. Because these deep vessels hold more water than standard models, we often recommend upgrading to a fast-drain system. This clever technology empties the basin in a flash so you do not have to sit there shivering while the water clears out.
Imagine soaking your tired muscles in a deep pool of warm water while gentle air jets massage your back. This luxurious experience becomes your daily reality once our team finishes the setup. On top of that, these units offer incredible therapeutic benefits for stiff joints and aching limbs.
To give you a clearer picture of what to expect, we put together a simple breakdown of the main features you can choose from:
| Feature | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-Step Entry door | Prevents trips and falls by keeping the entry threshold just inches off the floor. |
| Contoured Built-In Seating | Lets you sit comfortably at chair height instead of struggling to get up from the floor. |
| Whirlpool Heated Jets | Soothes chronic arthritis pain and boosts circulation with warm, targeted water massage. |
| Watertight Pressure Seal | Guarantees zero leaks on your bathroom floor thanks to lifetime-backed door gaskets. |
Choosing the right combination of these perks depends entirely on your personal preferences and budget. During our initial visit, we will walk you through these options to find the perfect fit for your lifestyle. We want to make sure you get exactly what you need without paying for flashy extras you will never use.
Working with a team that knows the local area makes a massive difference in the quality of your project. For instance, homes in this historic community, which serves as the seat of Jefferson Parish, often have unique older plumbing systems. Our deep familiarity with local building codes ensures your project goes off without a single hitch.
Whether you live in a classic cottage near the historic district or a newer home in the surrounding neighborhoods, we know how to handle the specific architectural quirks of the region. With a local population of 17,797 people, we treat every customer like our neighbor because you actually are. We take immense pride in helping our community members stay safe in the homes they love.
Additionally, we keep our pricing fair and accessible because we understand the local economy. Considering the local median household income of $46,057, we focus on providing high-value options that deliver maximum safety without breaking the bank. We serve all local areas, including ZIP codes 70053, 70054, and 70056, bringing our mobile showroom tools right to your driveway.
Investing in a high-quality acrylic shell ensures your new bathing system remains bright and easy to clean for decades. Unlike cheap gel-coat models that fade and crack over time, premium acrylic resists scratches and retains heat beautifully. This means your bathwater stays warmer for a much longer period.
Furthermore, non-porous surfaces prevent mold and mildew from taking root in your wet area. This saves you from spending your weekends scrubbing grout lines on your hands and knees. You just need a quick wipe with a soft cloth to keep the entire unit looking brand new.
Installing the main vessel is only part of the equation when it comes to creating a truly secure bathroom. To maximize your protection, we also install strategically placed grab bars that give you solid leverage points. These sturdy handles help you move from a standing position to a seated one with total confidence.
Another crucial element is the slip-resistant floor texture built directly into the bottom of the basin. This textured surface keeps your feet firmly planted even when soapy water covers the floor. You will feel remarkably secure every time you step inside.
Finally, we install scald-preventing thermostatic valves to protect your sensitive skin from sudden temperature spikes. This technology keeps the water at a safe, consistent temperature even if someone flushes a toilet elsewhere in the house. Every single detail works together to create a worry-free sanctuary.
Are you ready to transform your daily routine from a stressful chore into a pampering escape? Our friendly, local crew is standing by to help you take the first step toward a safer home. We will visit your property, measure your space, and give you a clear, honest quote with absolutely no pressure.
Do not wait for a dangerous slip to force your hand when you can take control of your safety today.

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 Gretna.
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.
