The Hampden crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Ramsey 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.
Sliding into a deep bath after a long day sounds like heaven until you realize how dangerous that high step over the porcelain ledge actually is.
Because of this major hazard, many homeowners feel trapped in their own homes.
Fortunately, our team specializes in setting up secure, low-threshold bathing systems that let you regain your independence without any fear of falling.
When you choose to retrofit your bathroom with a secure, accessible bath unit, you protect your future.
Indeed, standard tubs require intense balance and strength.
By contrast, our custom-fitted, leak-proof sealed doors allow you to step inside with ease, sit down comfortably, and enjoy a warm soak safely.
Getting your peace of mind back is easier than you think.
As a local contractor, we visit your home to measure your space and give you a detailed plan.
To get started, you can request a free estimate today to see how affordable this life-changing upgrade can be.
Safety remains the most obvious reason to swap your old fixture for a modern, step-in soaking system.
As we age, or when mobility challenges arise, the wet bathroom floor becomes a slippery obstacle course.
This specialized upgrade features built-in grab bars, slip-resistant flooring, and a contoured seat that keeps you stable.
Besides the physical safety, you also get to enjoy deep muscle relaxation.
Many of these advanced models come with hydrotherapy jets that target sore joints and lower back tension.
This means you can soothe your arthritis or muscle stiffness right in your own home without visiting a spa.
Another great advantage is the independence these units provide.
Instead of relying on family members or caregivers for basic hygiene, you can handle your personal care completely on your own.
This brings back a sense of dignity that is truly priceless for anyone facing mobility issues.
Waiting for the water to empty before you can open the door used to be a cold, shivering chore.
Thankfully, modern engineering solved this issue with high-speed draining systems that pull water out in under eighty seconds.
This lets you stay warm while the tub empties, so you can step out onto a dry floor without waiting around.
On top of that, these fast-acting drains prevent water from spilling into your hallway.
Which means your subfloor stays dry and free from mold growth over the years.
You get a cleaner bathroom and a much faster bathing routine every single day.
Trying to put one of these heavy, complex units in yourself usually leads to major plumbing disasters.
Because these fixtures require precise leveling and heavy-duty silicone seals, you need seasoned hands for the job.
Our crew handles the entire demo, hookup, and sealing process so you do not have to lift a finger.
Furthermore, we ensure your existing water heater can handle the new capacity.
Sometimes we need to upgrade your valves or install a larger supply line to make sure you get plenty of hot water.
This attention to detail guarantees your new system performs flawlessly from the very first splash.
Many folks worry that a major bathroom remodel will take weeks and leave their home in total chaos.
Actually, our swift process minimizes disruption because we prep everything before we even arrive at your door.
We often complete the entire swap in just one or two days, leaving your home spotless.
First, we carefully remove your old, outdated tub and inspect the underlying wood for any hidden rot.
Then, we update the pipe connections to match the new drain and faucet locations perfectly.
Finally, we slide the new heavy-duty acrylic unit into place, anchor it securely, and seal every single seam.
To give you a better idea of what goes into this project, here is a quick comparison of standard fixtures versus our accessible models:
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Step-In Sealed Tub |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Threshold | 14 to 18 inches high | Under 4 inches high |
| Seating | Lying down on floor level | Contoured, chair-height seat |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Grab bars, textured floor, door lock |
| Drainage Speed | Standard gravity drain (slow) | Powered fast-drain assist |
This table clearly shows why so many homeowners decide to make the switch.

We will sit down with you, look at your space, and find the perfect fit for your budget.
Living in a quiet, tight-knit community means we treat our customers like neighbors because you actually are our neighbors.
Whether you reside in the peaceful county of Ramsey, or specifically in the tiny, friendly town of Hampden, we bring top-tier service right to your doorstep.
With a local population of just 22 residents, we know that reputation is everything, and we strive to treat everyone like family.
Our service area covers the entire local ZIP code of 58338 and the surrounding rural communities.
Given that the median household income in this region requires smart budgeting, we make sure our prices are fair and transparent.
We believe that safety should not be an unaffordable luxury for hardworking North Dakotans.
During the freezing winter months, having a warm, safe sanctuary in your home is incredibly important.
Our sturdy acrylic units retain heat much longer than old cast-iron tubs.
This lets you stay cozy even when the Dakota winds are howling outside your window.
Not all accessible tubs are built the same way, so we help you customize yours.
For instance, you can choose between an inward-swinging door or an outward-swinging door depending on your bathroom layout.
Inward doors save space, while outward doors make transferring from a wheelchair much easier.
Additionally, we can install heated backrests that keep you warm while the tub fills up with water.
This simple feature adds incredible coziness to your daily routine.
You will actually look forward to your bath time rather than dreading it as a difficult chore.
We also offer handheld showerheads with easy-to-grip handles and extra-long hoses.
This allows you to rinse off while seated without reaching or straining your back.
Every single detail is designed to maximize your independence and physical well-being.
Upgrading your bathroom also increases the overall value of your property.
Should you ever decide to sell, future buyers will appreciate the high-quality, accessible features already in place.
This makes your home stand out in the local real estate market as a forward-thinking property.
More importantly, you save money by avoiding costly assisted living facilities or nursing homes.
Staying in the place you love, surrounded by your memories, is the best outcome of all.
Our affordable installations make aging in place a very realistic, stress-free option for you.
Now is the perfect time to take action before an accidental slip or fall occurs.
Our friendly team is ready to answer all your questions and design a custom solution just for you.

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 Hampden.
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.
