When you decide to make this change, you might wonder how the actual process works.
First, our local crew comes directly to your property to measure your existing setup.
This ensures we choose a model that fits perfectly into the footprint of your old traditional shower or standard basin.
During the actual setup phase, we carefully remove your old tub without ruining your walls.
After that, we hook up the specialized plumbing, including advanced fast-drain technology so you do not sit around waiting to get out.
Then, we seal every single edge with heavy-duty waterproofing to prevent any future leaks in your home.
This hassle-free process means you do not have to worry about a massive, weeks-long construction mess.
In fact, most of our setups are finished much faster than a standard bathroom remodel.
Which means you get to enjoy your new, relaxing oasis with minimal disruption to your daily life.
To help you understand why these specialized tubs are so popular, we put together a simple table.
This highlights the key features we install and how they directly make your life easier and much safer.
| Specialized Feature | Your Direct Benefit |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low entry threshold | No more lifting your legs high over a dangerous barrier |
| Contoured built-in seating | Sit down comfortably at chair height while you bathe |
| Leak-proof door seal | Water stays inside the tub and off your bathroom floor |
| Integrated grab bars | Extra support points to help you stand up safely |
Every single detail of these units focuses on keeping you safe while maximizing your physical relaxation.
For example, the textured slip-resistant floor prevents your feet from sliding around when soapy water builds up.
On top of that, the easy-to-reach dial controls mean you never have to stretch or strain your back just to adjust the temperature.
Living in a tight-knit Swift County community means we care deeply about looking after our neighbors.
You are not just another random customer invoice to us; you are a valued member of our local area.
Because of this, we always bring our top-tier tools, friendly attitudes, and honest pricing to every single job site.
We know that local homes here in the 56252 ZIP code area have unique layouts, especially the older properties.
Our extensive hands-on experience allows us to handle tricky cast-iron pipe configurations and uneven floors with absolute ease.
This local know-how guarantees that your new system functions flawlessly for many years to come.
We also keep our services highly accessible because we know the local median household income sits around $46,579.
We believe that safety should never be a luxury that only a few wealthy people can afford.
Therefore, we work hard to find high-quality, durable solutions that fit your personal budget perfectly.
Let us be completely honest about what to expect during the physical setup of your new system.
Naturally, there will be some noise while we take out your old heavy porcelain or fiberglass basin.
However, our team works quickly and cleans up every speck of dust before we pack up our trucks.
Another thing to keep in mind is that your water will be turned off for a few hours during the plumbing hookups.
We always warn you ahead of time so you can plan your day around this short interruption.
This open communication is why our clients love working with us and constantly recommend us to their friends.
No two bodies are exactly the same, which is why we do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
During our initial visit, we listen to your specific struggles, whether you deal with stiff knees, balance issues, or back pain.
This allows us to suggest the exact door configuration, seat height, and grab bar placement for your body.
For instance, some folks prefer an outward-swinging door because it makes transferring from a wheelchair much easier.
Others like an inward-swinging door because it maximizes the available floor space in smaller, cozy bathrooms.
Whichever you choose, we ensure the final setup provides maximum cozy warmth and absolute ease of use.
You will also love how simple these modern acrylic surfaces are to keep clean over the years.
The non-porous material naturally resists mold, mildew, and stubborn soap scum build-up.
Which means you spend less time on your knees scrubbing and more time enjoying a deep, soothing soak.
Waiting for a slip or a bad fall to happen before you make a change is a very risky game.
Taking action today ensures you can stay in your beloved home for decades without needing expensive assisted living.
This single upgrade is truly an investment in your safety, your health, and your emotional peace of mind.
We invite you to reach out to our friendly local team right now to discuss your options.
We will drive out to your home in Kerkhoven, Minnesota, assess your space, and give you an honest, no-pressure estimate.

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 Kerkhoven.
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.
