The Lee crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Allegan 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.
Sliding into a standard deep tub can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees or back start acting up.
Fortunately, you can swap out that old slippery basin for a secure, low-step alternative that keeps your independence intact.
Our professional team specializes in retrofitting bathrooms with these secure, accessible bathing units so you can wash up without any fear of falling.
Getting in and out of the water should never feel like a dangerous stunt.
That is why we focus on installing premium airtight doors right into the side of your bathing enclosure.
You simply open the swinging barrier, step over a tiny threshold, and sit down on a comfortable raised seat.
This simple change completely eliminates the need to balance on one wet foot while swinging your other leg over a high porcelain ledge.
We travel right to your home in the local area to measure your space and give you a clear, no-cost plan.
Having a team of local installers handle the heavy lifting means you get a perfect fit without the stress of a DIY disaster.
To help you see how these modern bathing setups compare to what you probably have now, we put together a quick comparison of the main features.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Accessible Sealed-Door Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | Ushually 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating | Flat floor level | Contoured, chair-height bench |
| Safety Grab Bars | Rarely built-in | Strategically integrated |
Many folks think they can just buy a unit online and have a handy neighbor hook it up.
However, this job requires serious plumbing knowledge and precise leveling to prevent costly leaks under your floorboards.
Our crew ensures that the high-capacity drains align perfectly with your existing pipes so the water empties out super fast.
Nobody wants to sit shivering for twenty minutes waiting for the water to drain away before they can open the door.
Which is why we utilize specialized fast-drain technology during our setup process.
This lets you exit the basin quickly and stay warm after your bath is done.
On top of that, we seal every single seam with industrial-grade waterproofing materials to protect your subfloor from moisture rot.
A tiny mistake in the door seal can ruin your drywall downstairs.
By trusting our local crew, you secure peace of mind because we back our craftsmanship with solid local pride.
Every home has a different layout, which means a one-size-fits-all approach never works.
We look at your plumbing configuration to determine if you need a left-handed or right-handed door swing.
This meticulous planning ensures that the door opens fully without hitting your toilet or vanity cabinet.
You can also choose from various therapeutic options like warm air jets or hydrotherapy nozzles.
These features target sore muscles and help soothe arthritis pain after a long day of working in the yard.
We help you select the exact features that match your budget and physical needs.
Since we are talking about a major home upgrade, you probably want to know how this affects your property.
Adding high-quality accessibility features actually boosts the long-term value of your home.
Future buyers will appreciate the foresight, especially if they plan to age in place just like you do.
We start by carefully removing your old heavy cast iron or fiberglass tub without damaging the surrounding walls.
This part of the job gets pretty dusty, but we clean up every speck of debris before we leave.
Then, we inspect the wood underneath to make sure there is no hidden mold or water damage waiting to cause trouble.
Next, we run new hot and cold water lines if your old valves are corroded or outdated.
We also install anti-scald mixing valves so you never have to worry about sudden bursts of freezing or boiling water.
This safety feature is incredibly important for young grandkids or seniors with sensitive skin.
After the plumbing is verified, we slide the new heavy-duty acrylic unit into place and level the steel frame.
We anchor the structure securely to your wall studs so it never shifts when you lean against the side walls.
Finally, we hook up the fixtures, test the watertight seal twice, and show you exactly how to operate the controls.
When you contact us for a free estimate, we do not just send you a random brochure or a pushy salesperson.
We send a friendly technician who actually knows how to build things to look at your actual bathroom space.
We take precise measurements of your doorways and hallways to ensure the new unit can fit through the house.
This careful planning prevents unexpected surprises on the day of the actual installation.
We also look at your current water heater capacity to make sure it can handle the volume of a larger soaking tub.
If your water heater is too small, we can suggest simple solutions to keep your baths nice and warm.
You will receive a detailed, written estimate with no hidden fees or high-pressure sales tactics.
We believe in honest, transparent pricing because we live and work in the same community as you.
You get to make the decision on your own time when you are ready to take the next step.
Living in a quiet, tight-knit community like ours means looking out for one another as we get older.
Our local service area includes the lovely township of Lee, Michigan, where many families have lived for generations.
With a cozy population of 4,015 residents, we take pride in helping our neighbors maintain their independence at home.
Many homes in this part of the state feature older layouts that were not built with modern accessibility in mind.
Whether your home is located near the local lakes or further inland, we know how to navigate the unique plumbing challenges of rural and suburban properties alike.
Our team is familiar with the local building codes and we handle all the necessary permits for you.
We offer competitive rates and flexible options to ensure you get the safety you need without straining your wallet.
If you live in the local area or around the neighboring ZIP codes, our trucks are always nearby and ready to assist.
Many homeowners ask us if these units will fit into a standard five-foot tub opening.
Yes, most of our models are designed specifically to match the footprint of your existing standard alcove basin.
This means we do not have to tear down your entire bathroom wall just to get the new unit installed.
Another common question involves the maintenance of the watertight door seals.
The advanced silicone gaskets we use require very little upkeep, just a quick wipe down after your bath.
These seals are designed to withstand years of constant pressure without losing their shape or letting a single drop leak.
If you are wondering about cleaning, the non-porous acrylic surfaces naturally resist mold, mildew, and stubborn soap scum.
You can keep your new bathing space sparkling clean with just a mild soap and a soft cloth.
This saves you from spending hours on your knees scrubbing harsh chemicals into dirty grout lines.
Do not wait for a dangerous slip or fall to force your hand on a bathroom remodel.

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 Lee.
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.
