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.

As time goes by, high step-ins on standard porcelain basins become major hazards.
This is because lifting your leg over a two-foot wall while balancing on slippery tiles is a recipe for disaster.
A specialized low-threshold chamber solves this issue by letting you walk right in and sit down on a raised seat.
On top of that, these sealed chambers come loaded with watertight doors that keep the water inside where it belongs.
You do not have to worry about leaks because the heavy-duty gaskets seal shut under the pressure of the water.
This lets you enjoy a deep soak without splashing a single drop onto your bathroom floorboards.
Naturally, you also get built-in safety bars and slip-resistant flooring to keep your footing solid.
Which means you can sit back, relax, and let the warm water soothe your tired muscles without any fear of falling.
It is all about reclaiming your daily ritual with dignity and absolute peace of mind.
Many folks worry that replacing their old basin will turn their home into a messy construction zone for weeks.
Actually, our skilled crew can swap out your old unit and install the new leak-proof system in just a couple of days.
We take precise measurements of your current space to ensure the new unit fits perfectly into the existing alcove.
To help you understand the different options, we put together this handy comparison table of our most popular setups.
| System Type | Key Feature | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Soaker Basin | Deep water depth | Warmth for your whole body |
| Hydrotherapy Unit | Water massage jets | Soothes sore muscles and joints |
| Aero therapy Unit | Gentle air bubbles | Soft skin stimulation and relaxation |
Choosing the right model depends on your physical needs and what your current plumbing can handle.
For example, a larger unit might require a bigger water heater so you do not run out of warm water mid-soak.
We look at all these technical details during our initial visit so you do not get any surprises later.
When you invite us over, we do not just hand you a generic brochure and walk away.
Instead, we inspect your current pipes, measure your doorways, and check your water pressure to see what works best.
This custom approach ensures your new system operates flawlessly from the very first day you use it.
Furthermore, we take the time to answer every single question you have about the installation process.
Which means you will know exactly how long the job will take and what the total cost will be.
We believe in honest, upfront pricing with zero hidden fees or high-pressure sales tactics.
Once we agree on a plan, our team handles everything from pulling permits to disposing of your old heavy cast-iron basin.

One minor drawback is that you have to sit inside the chamber while it fills up and while it drains out.
However, we install high-speed drains and fast-filling faucets to minimize the time you spend waiting in the cooler air.
To keep you cozy during those brief waiting moments, many of our units feature heated backrests.
This brilliant addition keeps you warm and relaxed while the water level rises to your chest.
It is a simple feature that makes a massive difference in your overall bathing experience.
On the positive side, the therapeutic benefits of deep soaking far outweigh the short wait times.
Warm water immersion helps improve your circulation and relieves pressure on aching knees and hips.
It is a natural way to feel better without leaving the cozy sanctuary of your own home.
You might be tempted to try and install one of these heavy units yourself to save a few bucks.
Unfortunately, this is a highly complex job that involves advanced plumbing, electrical wiring, and carpentry work.
One small mistake can lead to massive water damage that ruins your subfloor and costs thousands to repair.
Additionally, these specialized units are incredibly heavy, especially when filled with dozens of gallons of water.
Which means your floor joists might need extra reinforcement to support the weight safely.

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 Lexington.
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.
