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.
Are you tired of tripping over that high porcelain lip every morning? Well, replacing your old setup brings total ease right to your bathroom.
Now, let us talk about upgrading your daily soak in the Hill Country. This charming municipality sits right along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County. Besides that lovely river view, local homes deserve top-notch aquatic relaxation gear. Thousands of residents call this place home across ZIP codes 78028 and 78029. Yet, many houses feature outdated bathrooms that cause daily safety hazards. Fortunately, our crew handles complete trade upgrades right here in Texas.
That high bathtub threshold causes slips and nasty falls for adults of every age. Fortunately, stepping through a low-profile swinging door stops those risks immediately. This lets you bathe safely without asking family members for physical assistance. Therefore, independence returns to your daily routine starting on day one.
Beyond safety benefits, soaking in hydrotherapy jets melts away stubborn muscle soreness. Consequently, your aching joints find sweet relief after working long hours outdoors. On top of that, deep basin designs cover your shoulders completely with warm water. Which means total relaxation takes over your body within minutes.
Many local households struggle with modest budgets near the median household income of $46,581. However, smart remodeling adds massive resale value to your property over time. This makes your investment pay for itself when selling your house later. Meanwhile, modern acrylic finishes prevent mold growth and reduce scrubbing time.
Your floor framing must support the heavy weight of a filled basin safely. Fortunately, our experienced technicians inspect your subfloor thoroughly before starting any construction work. This ensures your home suffers zero structural damage during the heavy placement phase.
Plumbing lines often need re-routing to match the fast-fill faucet valves properly. Because of this, water fills the chamber in mere minutes instead of chilling you. Meanwhile, dedicated electrical circuits power the massage jets safely away from moisture.
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Modern Accessible Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | Sixteen to Twenty Inches | Under Three Inches |
| Safety Risk | High Slip Danger | Low Threshold Design |
| Therapy Options | None | Hydrotherapy and Air Jets |
Standard tubs force you to lift your legs dangerously high while wet. Conversely, modern door-equipped basins let you walk straight inside with zero struggle. This brilliant engineering change protects your hips and knees from sudden strain.
Planning your bathroom overhaul starts with a friendly chat about your specific household needs. Then, we measure your exact alcove dimensions to ensure a flush fit. During this visit, you receive a transparent breakdown of all labor expenses.
Demolition day arrives quickly once you approve the custom layout design plan. Workers remove your old stained porcelain carefully without messing up hallway floors. Afterward, they haul away all debris so your yard stays completely tidy.
Plumbing connections get soldered tightly by licensed professionals following strict building codes. Meanwhile, waterproof wall surrounds protect your drywall from sneaky water leaks. This meticulous attention to detail prevents costly property damage down the road.
Chromotherapy lighting transforms your ordinary bath into a colorful spa retreat. Furthermore, heated seats keep your backside warm while the basin fills up slowly. These little luxuries turn basic hygiene into your favorite daily ritual.
Ozonator cleaning systems sanitize the water jets automatically after every single use. Thus, you never worry about nasty bacteria hiding inside hidden internal pipes. Meanwhile, grab bars give your hands sturdy anchor points for added stability.
Most standard projects finish in just one single day of intense labor. Consequently, you avoid weeks of messy construction dust ruining your peaceful household vibe. Plus, your new bathing apparatus works immediately once workers test the plumbing.
Dust barriers keep drywall particles contained inside the primary bathroom work zone. Meanwhile, drop cloths protect your precious carpets from stray footprints and tool drops. This respectful approach makes remodeling feel completely stress-free.
Waiting until an accident happens creates unnecessary stress for your entire family. Instead, proactive upgrades protect your loved ones before any dangerous slips occur. Therefore, calling a trusted local contractor makes total sense today.
Requesting your complimentary pricing estimate takes less than two minutes of your time. Simply reach out to schedule your professional on-site evaluation right away. Let us help you reclaim total bathing independence with zero hassle.
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 Kerrville.
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.
