The Kenwood crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Sonoma 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 bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain if your mobility is not what it used to be.
Fortunately, you can swap that dangerous barrier for a secure, low-step entry system that keeps you independent at home.
Our professional team specializes in retrofitting bathrooms with high-sided, leak-proof bathing units designed specifically to prevent slips and falls.
Many homeowners worry about losing their independence but put off making this essential change because the project seems too complicated.
Actually, we handle everything from removing your old cast iron basin to configuring the new leak-free door system.
This means you get to stay in the home you love without worrying about bathroom accidents.
You deserve a daily routine that brings peace of mind instead of anxiety.
By choosing a specialized bath setup with built-in seating and grab bars, you invest in your long-term safety.
Let us show you how simple this conversion can be when handled by experienced local hands.
These specialized bathing units feature a watertight door built directly into the side of the acrylic or fiberglass shell.
This clever design allows you to step inside with only a minimal lift of your foot, usually just a few inches off the ground.
Once you step inside, you sit on a comfortable, contoured raised seat that makes standing back up incredibly easy.
Inside the tub, you will find strategically placed stainless steel safety bars that offer a sturdy grip at all times.
Additionally, the slip-resistant textured floor provides excellent traction even when the surface is soapy and wet.
These features work together to eliminate the need for bending, balancing, or struggling to lower yourself to floor level.
| Key Feature | Daily Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-entry threshold | Eliminates tripping hazards when entering |
| Contoured built-in seat | No more struggling to stand up from the floor |
| Hydrotherapy jets | Soothes sore muscles and improves circulation |
| Fast drainage technology | Saves you from waiting in the cold after bathing |
To make the experience even better, many models include therapeutic water and air jets that massage your tired joints.
Which means you can enjoy a spa-like soak that actually helps relieve arthritis pain and muscle stiffness.
Our job is to help you select the exact configuration that fits your body type and bathroom layout perfectly.
First, we visit your home to inspect your existing plumbing, measure your door frames, and check your hot water heater capacity.
This initial assessment ensures that your current system can handle the fast-fill faucets and rapid-drain features of the new tub.
We take time to answer every question so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Next, our crew carefully extracts your old standard tub without damaging your walls or surrounding flooring.
After that, we upgrade the underfloor drain pipes and adjust the water supply lines to align perfectly with the new fixture.
We make sure the subfloor is completely level and reinforced to support the weight of the heavy-duty acrylic unit.
Finally, we slide the new unit into place, connect the heavy-duty brass fixtures, and seal every single seam with mold-resistant silicone.
Once the hookups are complete, we run a full water test to verify that the door seal is absolute and the rapid-drain system works flawlessly.
Before we leave, we teach you how to operate the controls and clean the surface so it stays pristine for years.
Standard bathrooms often have limited square footage, which is why we offer compact models designed to fit into a regular five-foot tub opening.
This lets you upgrade your setup without undergoing a massive, expensive home remodeling project.
We can also look at larger bariatric models or outward-swinging doors if you require wheelchair transfer assistance.
Choosing the right door swing is crucial for maneuvering around small spaces, especially if your sink or toilet is close by.
An inward-swinging door saves space in the bathroom but requires you to step around it inside the tub.
Conversely, an outward-swinging door offers the easiest entry but requires clear floor space on the outside to open fully.
Keep in mind that these large tubs hold more water than a standard shallow bath basin, which might require a water heater check.
If your current tank is too small, we can discuss high-efficiency tankless water heater options to ensure you never run out of warm water.
This ensures you can fill the tub quickly and enjoy a long, hot soak without any chilly surprises.
On top of that, we always recommend installing a thermostatic mixing valve to prevent accidental scalding.
This smart safety valve keeps the water at a safe, pre-set temperature even if someone else flushes a toilet in the house.
Your safety is our top priority, and these little details make a massive difference in your daily peace of mind.
Attempting to install one of these complex heavy units yourself can lead to massive headaches and expensive water damage.
The heavy fiberglass shell requires precise leveling, specific electrical grounding for the pumps, and expert plumbing connections.
One small leak behind the wall can rot your subfloor and cost thousands of dollars to repair down the road.
Our experienced crew brings the right tools and years of hands-on experience to handle the job in just a couple of days.
We carry full liability insurance and follow all local building codes, so you know the job is done right the first time.
You can sit back and relax while we transform your bathroom into a safe haven of relaxation.
Furthermore, we stand behind our workmanship with solid guarantees that protect your investment for the long haul.
If you ever experience a problem with the door seal or the jet controls, we will be right back out to fix it.
That level of security is something you simply cannot get with a DIY project or a cheap, uncertified handyman.

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 Kenwood.
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.
