The Gum Springs crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Pulaski 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.
You probably worry every time you step over that high barrier to take a simple bath.
That is why upgrading your bathroom with a secure, accessible bathing unit makes perfect sense.
This smart choice helps you maintain your independence right at home.
By choosing a low-threshold entry system, you eliminate the scary slips that happen on wet tile.
Actually, we see so many folks who just want to feel relaxed while washing up.
Our professional team visits your home to measure your space and give you a completely free estimate.
Since we believe in total honesty, we always show you the exact physical steps we take during the setup.
This means you get to see how we handle your plumbing without any hidden surprises.
You will finally feel secure during your daily routine again.
When you think about home accidents, the restroom is usually the most dangerous spot of all.
Which is why installing a specialized leak-free door bathtub keeps you out of harm's way.
You do not have to lift your legs high just to get clean anymore.
On top of that, these units come with built-in seating to make sure you stay comfortable.
This lets you sit down safely instead of balancing on a slippery, wet surface.
You get a spa-like experience without any of the usual anxiety.
To help you compare your options, we created a quick guide to show how our setup compares to a standard basin:
| Feature | Standard Basin | Low-Step Safety Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Threshold Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Only 2 to 6 inches |
| Built-in Seating | None (must sit on floor) | Contoured, ADA-compliant seat |
| Safety Grab Bars | Must buy and install separately | Fully integrated into the design |
| Drainage Speed | Slow, standard gravity drain | Fast-drain technology options |
Because your safety is our main goal, we only use top-grade materials that withstand daily wear.
This means your new setup will look beautiful and perform perfectly for decades.
You deserve a bathroom that works for you, not against you.
Before we bring in any new equipment, our crew carefully protects your floors with thick drop cloths.
This ensures we do not leave a single scratch or speck of dust behind.
Then, we carefully remove your old, outdated tub and dispose of it for you.
After clearing the space, we inspect the underlying subfloor for any hidden water damage or mold.
Fixing these issues early prevents major structural headaches down the road.
We make sure your foundation is rock-solid before proceeding.
Next, our experienced technicians modify your existing drain pipes and water lines to align perfectly with the new system.
This step requires absolute precision to guarantee a flawless, watertight seal.
We also install high-flow faucets so your basin fills up incredibly fast.
Once the plumbing is ready, we slide the heavy-duty acrylic shell into place and level it carefully.
This stops any water from pooling in the wrong corners of the unit.
You get a perfectly balanced system that drains completely every single time.
Of course, we have to talk about the financial side of making this home upgrade.
While the initial investment is higher than a cheap plastic insert, the long-term benefits are massive.
You are essentially investing in your ability to stay in your beloved home forever.
We happen to serve a charming, small community in Pulaski County with a population of about 132 residents.
In this quiet area, the median household income sits around $35,673, so we know that every dollar counts.
That is why we offer flexible options to match your specific household budget.
Whether you live in the local ZIP code or nearby, we come directly to your door.
We do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics or confusing jargon.
You receive a clear, written quote that breaks down every single expense.
Waiting for a deep basin to empty out can leave you shivering in the cold air.
To solve this, we offer advanced rapid-drain systems that empty the water in under eighty seconds.
This means you can open the door and exit without catching a chill.
Additionally, we can install units with heated backrests that keep you warm while the water fills.
This feature turns a simple chore into a deeply relaxing, therapeutic escape.
You will look forward to your bath time every single day.
If you struggle with stiff joints or sore muscles, targeted water jets offer incredible relief.
These strategically placed jets massage your body gently to ease your daily aches.
You get the healing power of a hot spring right in your own home.

You can move around with total confidence and zero fear of falling.

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 Gum Springs.
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.
