(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 as the years slip by.
This is why upgrading to a specialized low-threshold bathing unit makes absolute sense for your peace of mind.
Our local team visits your home to assess your space and provides a completely free estimate to make daily washing safe again.
Living in remote places means we must look out for our own physical safety at home.
Which is why installing a secure, leak-free cabin with a built-in seat helps you stay independent for years.
You deserve to feel secure every single time you want to soak and unwind without worrying about slippery accidents.
Taking care of your body is much easier when you do not have to step over a high porcelain barrier.
For this reason, our custom retrofitting services focus on replacing your old, hazardous basin with a modern, door-access hydrotherapy system.
We handle all the heavy lifting and plumbing adjustments so you can relax and enjoy your upgraded home sanctuary.
Stepping over a traditional tub wall poses a major slip hazard for anyone with limited mobility.
Fortunately, a custom door-entry basin lets you simply walk inside, sit down on a raised contour bench, and close the watertight seal.
This simple change removes the fear of falling and brings back the simple pleasure of a warm, soothing soak.
Many homeowners worry about water escaping onto the floor during their daily cleanup routine.
To prevent this, these specialized units feature heavy-duty steel frames and advanced triple-seal door locks that keep every drop inside.
You will never have to mop up dangerous puddles or worry about water damage ruining your subfloors.
Because safety is our primary focus, we always recommend adding built-in grab bars and slip-resistant floors.
Having these features handy means you can stand up or sit down with absolute confidence and zero struggle.
Our high-quality installations focus on maximizing your cozy relaxation while keeping your physical limitations in mind.
Every home layout is different, which means your path to a safer washroom requires a personalized touch.
We offer various configurations, including deep soaking models, heated backrests, and air jet systems that massage tired muscles.
Choosing the perfect combination depends on your budget and how you prefer to unwind at the end of the day.
To help you compare the different setups, we created a handy table showing the most popular options:
| Unit Type | Key Feature | Primary Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Deep Soaker | High-capacity basin design | Full torso immersion for maximum warmth |
| Hydrotherapy System | Water and air massage jets | Soothes sore joints and improves circulation |
| Bariatric Model | Extra-wide entry door and seat | Provides extra room and sturdy support |
Selecting the right size ensures that your new setup fits perfectly into the footprint of your old traditional fixture.
This smart design choice minimizes the need for expensive drywall repairs or major layout alterations in your washroom.
We guide you through every single option to ensure you get exactly what you need without paying for unnecessary extras.
Plumbing projects in remote Alaskan areas require special attention because of local temperature shifts and water pressure variables.

We take extra steps during the drain fitting process to ensure quick water release and reliable operation all year round.

Your journey toward a stress-free bathing experience starts with a quick phone call to schedule your home visit.
During this initial meeting, we measure your current bathroom layout and check your existing water heater capacity.
This step is crucial because a larger basin requires sufficient hot water to fill up quickly and keep you warm.
Once we agree on the perfect model for your home, we schedule the physical transformation at a time that suits you.
On the scheduled day, we carefully protect your flooring, disconnect the old plumbing, and haul away the old fixture.
Then we secure the new steel-reinforced frame, connect the advanced drainage lines, and seal every single joint with industrial silicone.
Before we pack up our tools, we run a complete diagnostic test to ensure the door seal is completely airtight.
We also show you how to operate the fast-drain technology and the easy-to-use hand controls so you feel comfortable.
Our job is not finished until you feel completely confident using your brand-new, secure home spa.

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 Holy Cross.
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.
