The Lee Vining crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Mono 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.
Getting in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain as you get older or deal with mobility struggles.
If you find yourself constantly worrying about slipping on wet tiles, we have some incredible news for you.
Our professional team specializes in setting up secure, low-threshold bathing systems that completely eliminate the scary high step of standard tubs.
Imagine sliding onto a wide, built-in seat without losing your balance even once.
This simple change lets you regain your independent lifestyle while keeping your family members free from constant worry.
Which means you get to enjoy a warm, deep soak whenever you want without needing anyone to assist you.
Naturally, we understand that modifying your home is a big decision that requires careful planning.
Because of this, we travel right to your doorstep to evaluate your current bathroom layout and offer a completely free project estimate.
Do not let another day pass by worrying about dangerous slips when a simple upgrade can bring back your daily peace of mind.
To put it simply, these specialized units feature a leak-proof door built directly into the side of the bath wall.
This smart design allows you to walk right inside rather than swinging your leg over a dangerously high barrier.
Once you step over the tiny threshold, you shut the heavy-duty door, seal it tight, and start filling the basin with warm water.
On top of that, these units come packed with heavy-duty grab bars and slip-resistant floors to keep you steady on your feet.
You can choose models with soothing hydrotherapy jets that target sore muscles and relieve joint pain.
This lets you transform your daily hygiene routine into a deeply relaxing, spa-like experience right at home.
To help you compare your options, we created a quick guide looking at standard versus modified bathing units.
| Feature | Standard Tub | Modified Walk-In System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | Under 4 inches |
| Seating | None (floor level) | Contoured, ADA-compliant seat |
| Safety Features | Add-on mats only | Integrated grab bars & non-slip floor |
| Therapy Options | None | Hydro jets & heated backrests |
Choosing the right setup depends entirely on your physical needs and the physical dimensions of your existing washroom.
During our free home visit, we take precise measurements so we can recommend the absolute perfect fit for your home.
You might think that replacing a bathtub requires weeks of noisy construction and endless dust everywhere.
However, our skilled crew can usually complete the entire setup in just one or two days with minimal disruption to your life.
We carefully extract your old, outdated tub and prep the plumbing before sliding the new unit into place.
This rapid turnaround means you will not have to live in a messy construction zone for weeks on end.
We also take great care to protect your floors and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
Which means you can start enjoying your new, secure soaking experience almost immediately after we finish up.
Additionally, we pressure-test every single seal and drain line to ensure there are absolutely zero leaks.
We never cut corners because we know how vital water-tight integrity is for the structure of your home.
You get a flawless, professional finish that looks beautiful and functions perfectly for decades to come.
When customizing your new setup, you can select from several door configurations, including outward-opening doors for wheelchair transfers.
This flexibility guarantees that no matter your current level of mobility, we can find a style that fits you.
We also offer quick-drain technology that empties the basin in under two minutes so you do not sit there shivering.
Another amazing feature is the heated backrest, which keeps your upper body warm while the basin fills up.
This simple addition makes a massive difference on cold winter mornings when the bathroom air feels chilly.
Our team will walk you through every single add-on option so you only pay for the features you actually need.

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 Vining.
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.
