The Lincoln Park crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Wayne 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 into a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees or back start acting up.
Fortunately, you can swap that old hazardous basin for a specialized, low-threshold bathing system that lets you step right in without lifting your legs over a high ledge.
This simple upgrade keeps you independent and safe in your own home for years to come.
When you choose a professional setup, you eliminate the fear of slipping on wet porcelain.
Our team specializes in retrofitting bathrooms to make them highly accessible and stress-free.
We offer an on-site evaluation to help you find the absolute best fit for your space.
Every bathroom has its own quirks, which means a cookie-cutter approach never works.
First, we measure your existing layout to see how the plumbing lines align.
This ensures we can slide the new secure-door basin perfectly into the old footprint without tearing up your walls.
During our visit, we assess your current water heater capacity to guarantee it can handle the new volume.
Since these deep-soaking units hold more water, you might need a fast-fill tap or a heater adjustment.
We explain these details clearly so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Once we agree on the plan, our crew handles the heavy lifting, including the safe disposal of your old cast iron or acrylic tub.
We take pride in leaving your home spotless, usually wrapping up the main plumbing connections in just a day or two.
You get a beautiful, functional setup without the headache of a massive, multi-week remodel.
To help you understand the different features available, we put together a simple comparison of the most popular configurations.
This lets you weigh the benefits based on your specific physical needs and budget.
Take a look at how these setups differ to see which one might suit your daily routine best.
| Bathing System Style | Key Safety Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Outward Swing | Wide entry door, low step-in, grab bars | Wheelchair transfers and maximum legroom |
| Inward Swing Compact | Space-saving door, contoured seat, non-slip floor | Smaller bathrooms and tight spaces |
| Hydrotherapy System | Water jets, heated backrest, touch controls | Soothing sore muscles and joint relief |
Choosing the right door swing depends entirely on the clearance space around your toilet and vanity.
That is why an in-person assessment is so valuable.
We can physically stand in your bathroom and show you how different models will operate in the real world.
Stepping over a tiny three-inch threshold instead of a two-foot wall changes your entire morning routine.
This design drastically reduces the risk of falls, which are incredibly common on slippery bathroom tiles.
You gain peace of mind knowing you can bathe privately without needing a family member to assist you.
On top of the safety aspect, these deep basins offer incredible relaxation.
The built-in contoured seating allows you to sit upright while soaking your torso in warm water.
This position is much easier to get up from compared to lying flat on the floor of a standard tub.
Many units also feature advanced hydrotherapy jets that target the lower back, hips, and calves.
If you struggle with arthritis or poor circulation, this gentle massage can relieve daily aches.
You get a spa-like experience right in your own home, tailored to your physical wellness.
Most homes in our corner of Wayne County feature standard five-foot tub openings.
Our high-quality accessible systems are designed to fit into these exact dimensions using specialized matching extension panels.
This means we do not have to rip out your beautiful floor tiles or move your structural walls.
Sometimes, older homes require a quick upgrade to the drain pipes to prevent water from standing too long.
We inspect your waste lines during our initial consultation to ensure fast draining.
This keeps you from sitting around shivering while waiting for the water level to drop after your bath.
We also look closely at your bathroom doorway width to plan the delivery route.
Occasionally, we have to temporarily remove a door jamb to navigate the unit safely into place.
We handle these minor adjustments seamlessly so you do not have to hire secondary contractors.

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 Lincoln Park.
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.
