One number reaches the people who fit the tubs. Say what the bathroom is like and we take it from there.

Getting in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain as we get older or deal with nagging injuries. That tall slippery ledge on your old tub is basically a trap waiting to happen. By swapping that old hazard for a leak-proof low-threshold bathing unit you can finally reclaim your independence and peace of mind.
Fortunately our dedicated team specializes in these life-changing bathroom transformations. We come right to your home to look at your setup and give you an estimate. This means you do not have to guess about costs or worry about pushy sales tactics.
Because your safety is the main goal here we focus on custom setups. Think about never having to take a giant scary step just to wash your hair. Instead you simply open a secure side door and step inside over a tiny barrier that is only a few inches high.
Many folks worry that remodeling will turn their lives upside down for weeks. On the contrary our skilled crew usually wraps up these retrofits much faster than you would expect. We take out your old high-walled basin and slide in a specialized accessible hydrotherapy system that fits your existing space perfectly.
Besides keeping you safe from nasty slips these modern systems offer incredible physical relief. Heated water jets can soothe your aching muscles and joints after a long day of chores. Which means you get a private spa experience right in your own home without paying spa prices.
On top of that we make sure your new setup matches your personal style. You do not have to sacrifice your home decor to get a practical and secure bathroom. We offer beautiful finishes and sturdy grab bars that look great while keeping you stable.

Naturally you might wonder about the price tag of such a major home upgrade. While it is true that these specialized units cost more than a basic plastic tray they save you a fortune in the long run. Preventing a single trip to the emergency room easily covers the entire investment of this home modification.
Actually we love helping hard-working families find options that align with their household budgets. In this lovely corner of Westmoreland County where the median household income sits around $52,098 we know the value of a hard-earned dollar. We pride ourselves on offering honest pricing with zero hidden fees or surprise upcharges.
Indeed we invite you to request a professional consultation today. Our local technician will visit your property to measure your bathroom layout and discuss your specific physical needs. This step ensures you get an accurate quote tailored to your exact situation.
First we start by carefully protecting your floors and walls before we bring in any tools. Our respectful installers treat your home like their own which means we clean up every speck of dust before we leave. We then remove your outdated tub and inspect the underlying pipes for any hidden water damage.
Next we handle all the tricky plumbing adjustments to ensure proper water flow and fast drainage. These specialized easy-access soaking units require precise leveling to guarantee the watertight door seal works perfectly. We test the door mechanism multiple times to make sure it is completely secure and easy for you to operate.
Furthermore you can customize your new setup with various therapeutic options. Air jets offer a gentle bubbly sensation while water hydrotherapy jets provide a deeper massage for stubborn back pain. You can even choose handheld showerheads that let you rinse off easily while remaining safely seated.
This layout lets you enjoy a deeply relaxing bath without any anxiety about how you will get back up. The built-in seating is slip-resistant and positioned at an ideal height for easy standing. It is all about giving you back your confidence so you can enjoy your daily routine again.
Since this type of plumbing work is highly specialized you really want to avoid cheap corner-cutting contractors. A poorly installed door seal can cause massive water damage to your subfloor and ceiling. Our team has years of hands-on experience dealing with the unique plumbing layouts found in older regional homes.
Perhaps you live near the local airport or closer to the historic downtown district within the 15650 ZIP code.

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 Latrobe.
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.
