The Junction crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Gallatin 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.
Maybe you felt a sudden slip last week while stepping over that high barrier. Or perhaps your knees simply do not bend the way they used to. This makes daily hygiene feel like a stressful chore instead of a relaxing break. You deserve to feel safe and independent in your own home again.
Fortunately, we have a practical solution that changes everything. By swapping your old, hazardous basin for a modern, low-threshold bathing unit, you can wash without fear. Our team visits your home to assess your space and provide a completely free estimate for the upgrade. This means you get a custom plan tailored to your specific bathroom layout without spending a dime upfront.
Transitioning to a safer setup is easier than you think. Our highly durable, leak-proof sealed doors allow you to step inside without lifting your legs more than a few inches. Which means you can say goodbye to those scary balancing acts on slippery ceramic tiles forever.
When you start looking at these specialized deep-soaking units, the choices can feel a bit overwhelming. Some models focus purely on simple, water-tight safety while others offer hydrotherapy jets to soothe your aching muscles. Choosing the right fit depends on your daily physical needs and your budget. This is why we sit down with you to discuss every single feature before any work begins.
To help you understand the differences, we put together a simple comparison of the main options we set up for folks in the area.
| Unit Feature | Primary Benefit | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Soaker Model | Deep, warm water submersion | Simple relaxation and safety |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Targeted water massage | Arthritis and muscle pain relief |
| Air Massage System | Gentle, bubbling stimulation | Sensitive skin and circulation boost |
| Bariatric Design | Wider seating and entry door | Extra physical space and support |
On top of these variations, you have to think about the physical size of your bathroom. Most of our high-walled, easy-access units fit directly into the exact same footprint as your existing standard tub. This saves you from expensive wall-demolition costs and keeps the remodeling mess to an absolute minimum.
Consequently, you get a fast turnaround time that does not disrupt your life for weeks on done. Our local crew handles the plumbing, the leveling, and the secure sealing with total precision. You can just sit back and watch your bathroom transform into a secure sanctuary.
Now, let us talk about the financial side of things because we believe in complete honesty. These specialized accessible fixtures require a larger initial investment than a cheap plastic tub from a big-box store. However, when you compare that cost to the price of an assisted living facility, the savings are incredibly obvious. Investing in your home allows you to age in place with dignity.
Besides the unit itself, the labor involved in a proper, leak-free setup requires serious plumbing expertise. We must ensure your home's hot water heater can handle the larger volume of water these deep units require. Sometimes, we need to upgrade your drain pipes so the water empties out quickly. This prevents you from sitting there shivering while you wait for the unit to drain.
To give you a better idea of what goes into our pricing, here is a quick breakdown of the typical project components.
| Project Step | What We Do | Why It Matters to You |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition | Careful removal of your old tub | Prevents damage to your existing walls |
| Plumbing Prep | Aligning drains and heavy-duty valves | Ensures rapid filling and fast draining |
| Electrical Work | Wiring for heated seats and jets | Guarantees safe operation near water |
| Final Sealing | Multi-layer silicone and trim work | Prevents costly water leaks under your floor |
Naturally, we want to make sure you do not face any financial surprises. That is why our on-site consultations are completely free of charge. We look at your pipes, measure your doorways, and give you a written quote that stays accurate.
You might have a handy nephew or a neighbor who claims they can install one of these heavy units for you. But please remember that a single mistake with a high-capacity water vessel can ruin your subfloors and cause thousands of dollars in mold damage. Our professional crew has years of experience handling these exact heavy-weight acrylic and fiberglass shells. We know how to level them perfectly so the heavy-duty door seal works exactly as designed.
In addition, these units come with powerful internal frame systems that must support hundreds of pounds of water and body weight. If the base is not supported correctly, the acrylic can crack over time. Which means you would have to tear the whole thing out and start over from scratch.
By letting our local crew handle the job, you get the peace of mind that comes with a solid labor warranty. We take care of the heavy lifting, the permits, and the cleanup. You do not have to worry about a thing except choosing your favorite bath towel.
Beyond the basic safety aspects, these modern step-in basins offer some incredible luxury upgrades. You can choose heated backrests that keep you warm while the tub fills up with soothing water. Also, fast-drain technology uses a dedicated pump to empty the water in under eighty seconds. This keeps you warm and cozy instead of waiting around in the cold.
Another amazing feature is the therapeutic air jet system that gently massages your feet and legs. This gentle stimulation improves your circulation and helps you sleep much better at night. Many of our customers tell us they feel like they have a private spa right in their own home.
Clearly, these benefits go far beyond simple hygiene. They improve your overall quality of life and give your family members relief knowing you are safe. No more worrying about slips, trips, or painful falls in a slick, wet environment.
We take great pride in helping homeowners in our small, tight-knit communities stay in the homes they love. For instance, did you know that in Junction, Illinois, we have a cozy population of about 539 residents? It is a wonderful, peaceful place where neighbors look out for each other.

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 Junction.
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.
