Many homeowners worry about slipping on wet tiles while trying to balance on one foot.
Actually, replacing your old basin with a secure, door-equipped soaking system eliminates that scary balancing act entirely.
This upgrade lets you sit down comfortably while the water rises around you, keeping you warm and secure.
Our dedicated team visits your property to measure your space and discuss the best layout for your needs.
Because of this personalized approach, you get a custom fit that matches your bathroom layout perfectly.
You will finally enjoy peace of mind every time you decide to take a warm, relaxing soak.
If you are unfamiliar with these accessible bathing systems, they feature a leak-proof door built right into the side of the tub.
Consequently, you only have to step over a tiny threshold of just a few inches to get inside.
This simple design change completely removes the main cause of bathroom slips and falls for seniors.
Once you step inside, you sit on a raised, slip-resistant seat that is molded directly into the acrylic structure.
This means you do not have to lower yourself all the way down to the floor of the basin.
As a result, standing back up requires very little effort and puts zero strain on your lower back.
On top of that, these units come equipped with heavy-duty grab bars and fast-draining technology to keep you secure.
Imagine not having to sit around shivering for fifteen minutes waiting for the water to empty out of the basin.
Our high-speed drainage systems pull the water down the drain in a flash so you can exit quickly.
To help you understand what makes these systems so beneficial, we have broken down the standard components.
This table highlights the main features and how they directly improve your daily life.
| Safety Feature | Daily Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low entry threshold | No more lifting your legs high over a dangerous barrier |
| Contoured built-in seating | Allows you to bathe from a stable, upright position | Gives you solid handholds to maintain your balance |
| Hydrotherapy jets | Soothes sore muscles and improves circulation in your legs |
Choosing the right configuration depends heavily on your current physical needs and your existing bathroom layout.
For this reason, our local professionals walk you through every single option during your home assessment.
We make sure you understand how each feature works before we even touch a single wrench.
Plumbing projects in living spaces around Livingston Parish require a high level of precision to avoid water damage.
Therefore, hiring experienced installers ensures that your new unit connects perfectly to your existing hot and cold water lines.
We handle the heavy lifting, the permits, and the clean-up so you do not have to worry about a thing.
In addition to plumbing, these heavy acrylic shells must be leveled perfectly to prevent leaks around the door seal.
Any slight tilt can cause the pressure on the silicon gasket to become uneven over time.
Our team uses advanced leveling equipment to guarantee a watertight seal that lasts for decades.
Moreover, we often have to widen doorways or adjust surrounding drywall to slide the new unit into place.
This is because these specialized basins are often wider than standard bathroom openings.
We complete these structural adjustments seamlessly, leaving your bathroom looking clean, refreshed, and beautiful.
First, we carefully remove your old, outdated tub and inspect the subfloor underneath for any hidden rot or mold.
This crucial step prevents future structural issues from ruining your beautiful new investment.
We replace any damaged wood and apply a protective barrier before we bring the new unit in.
Next, we run new, high-flow copper lines to feed your heavy-duty faucet and handheld shower wand.
This upgrade lets you fill the deep basin much faster than a standard residential tap would allow.
You get to enjoy your hot soak without waiting forever for the water to reach your shoulders.

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 Killian.
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.
