The Icard crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Burke 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 bathing basin can feel like climbing a mountain as we get older or deal with stiff joints.
If you find yourself worrying about slipping on wet porcelain, you are definitely not alone.
This is why we specialize in setting up specialized, easy-access deep-soaking units with secure side doors that keep you safe and independent in your own home.
Choosing this home upgrade means you can finally stop fearing bath time and start looking forward to it.
We travel right to your house to look at your current setup and help you figure out the best way to swap your old, high-walled basin for a modern safety portal.
Naturally, we offer a completely free estimate so you can understand the process and the costs without any pressure.
Our goal is to make sure you feel completely relaxed during every single bath.
These modern sealing-door basins let you sit down on a raised, built-in seat before you even turn on the warm water.
This clever setup keeps you stable and secure, which means you never have to balance on one slippery foot again.
Many folks worry that their bathroom is too small or that the remodeling process will turn their home into a dusty disaster zone for weeks.
Actually, our skilled crew can usually complete the entire transformation in just one or two days.
Which means you will not have to deal with endless noise or a mess that lingers forever.
When we arrive at your home, we start by carefully removing your old fixture without damaging the surrounding walls or floorboards.
Then, we inspect the underlying pipes and subfloor to make sure everything is rock solid before we slide the new unit into place.
This careful approach guarantees that your new setup will remain sturdy and leak-free for decades to come.
Because we want you to feel confident in our work, we handle all the heavy lifting and precise plumbing adjustments.
We make sure the drain lines align perfectly so that the water empties out quickly.
This rapid-drain technology is a lifesaver because it means you will not have to sit there shivering while waiting for the basin to empty.
To help you understand how this change compares to keeping a standard setup, we put together this quick comparison table:
| Feature | Standard Basin | Our Safety Entry Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | Incredibly low 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating Position | Flat on the floor (hard to stand up) | Comfortable, chair-height built-in bench |
| Safety Grab Bars | Rarely included (must buy separately) | Fully integrated and securely anchored |
| Slip Resistance | Slippery porcelain or acrylic | Heavy-duty textured non-slip floor |
On top of the obvious safety improvements, these units offer an incredible way to soothe aching muscles and joints.
Many models come equipped with targeted hydrotherapy jets that massage your lower back, legs, and feet.
This therapeutic action can bring amazing relief if you deal with arthritis, poor circulation, or general daily fatigue.
Moreover, the thick acrylic walls of these units are designed to retain heat much longer than standard materials.
This means your bathwater stays nice and warm for your entire soak.
You can take your time, listen to the radio, and truly unwind without feeling rushed by chilly water.
Another major benefit is the heavy-duty door seal, which is backed by a lifetime guarantee against leaks.
When you close the latch, the pressure of the rising water actually helps seal the door even tighter.
This clever engineering keeps your bathroom floor dry as a bone, preventing mold growth and water damage in your home.
Since every home is unique, we offer a wide variety of sizes and configurations to match your specific layout.
Whether you need a compact model to fit into a tight mobile home bathroom or a wider design for extra room, we have you covered.
We can even install heated seating areas and therapeutic colored lighting to make your bath feel like a high-end spa.
During our initial consultation, we will measure your doorways and hallways to plan the exact path of entry.
This careful planning ensures we can bring the new unit inside without scratching your walls or causing any headaches.
We take pride in leaving your home cleaner than we found it, taking away all the old debris when we leave.
To give you even more peace of mind, we only install units built with thick, steel-reinforced frames.
This structural integrity prevents the basin from shifting or flexing when you step inside.
Which translates directly to a rock-solid feel under your feet every single time you bathe.
Thinking about the future can be stressful, especially when it comes to maintaining your independence at home.
Investing in a safe bathing space is one of the smartest ways to ensure you can stay in your beloved home for years.
It also gives your family members immense peace of mind, knowing you are safe from slip-and-fall accidents.
If you look at the cost of assisted living facilities, modifying your bathroom is a drop in the bucket.
It is a one-time improvement that adds real value to your property while keeping you in control of your daily routine.
On top of that, it simply feels wonderful to regain the simple joy of a hot, relaxing soak whenever you want.

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 Icard.
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.
