The Lodgepole crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Perkins 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 bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees or back start acting up.
This is why upgrading to a specialized low-threshold deep-soaking unit with a leak-proof door makes perfect sense.
Our professional team helps you regain your independence by replacing your old, hazardous basin with a modern, secure bathing system.
You can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet porcelain because these units are designed with your safety as the main priority.
This means you get to enjoy a relaxing, deep soak without the fear of falling.
We come directly to your home to assess your current bathroom layout and provide a completely free estimate for the entire project.
Taking this step transforms your daily routine from a stressful chore into a peaceful, spa-like experience.
On top of that, you do not have to figure out the plumbing headaches yourself.
Our local crew handles every single detail from start to finish so you can just sit back and relax.
Standard tubs require you to balance on one foot while lifting your other leg over a high barrier.
That dangerous balancing act causes thousands of home accidents every single year.
By choosing a heavy-duty acrylic unit with an integrated swing-in or swing-out door, you eliminate that high step entirely.
This layout lets you walk right in, sit down on a raised, slip-resistant seat, and close the watertight door behind you.
Which means you keep your dignity and your privacy while keeping your body clean and relaxed.
Many homeowners in Perkins County are making this smart swap to ensure they can stay in their beloved homes for years to come.
Our custom setups fit perfectly into the exact footprint of your existing traditional tub.
This keeps your remodeling costs down because we do not have to tear down your entire bathroom to install it.
We love helping neighbors in this quiet corner of South Dakota upgrade their homes with practical, life-changing improvements.
Every single detail of these specialized soaking systems is engineered to offer maximum physical support.
For instance, the heavy-duty grab bars give you sturdy handholds right where you need them most.
This lets you transition from standing to sitting without straining your muscles or losing your balance.
Additionally, the fast-drain technology ensures you do not have to sit there shivering while waiting for the water to empty.
Our advanced systems pull the water out of the basin in a fraction of the usual time.
You will love how simple and intuitive the touch-pad controls are to operate even with arthritic hands.
To help you understand the different options available, we put together a quick comparison table below:
| Feature | Benefit for You | Who It Is Best For |
|---|---|---|
| U-Shape Inward Door | Saves precious bathroom floor space | Smaller bathrooms or tight layouts |
| L-Shape Outward Door | Allows easy wheelchair transfers | Individuals with limited mobility |
| Built-In Heated Seat | Keeps your upper body warm while filling | Anyone sensitive to chilly drafts |
Choosing the right configuration depends entirely on your unique physical needs and the size of your current washroom.
This is where our hands-on experience comes in handy because we know how to measure your space down to the millimeter.
We explain all these details during our initial visit so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
You might worry that a major home renovation will turn your peaceful life into a chaotic mess for weeks.
However, our experienced crew works fast and respects your living space by keeping the work area clean.
Most of our installations take just a couple of days to complete from the moment we bring the tools inside.
First, we carefully remove your old, bulky tub and inspect the underlying subfloor for any hidden water damage.
This prevents future mold issues and ensures your new heavy-duty unit rests on a rock-solid foundation.
After that, we run new plumbing lines to match the high-flow faucets and rapid-drain systems perfectly.
Finally, we seal every single seam with premium mold-resistant silicone to guarantee a completely watertight finish.
Which means you will never have to worry about water leaking into your walls or damaging your flooring.
We test the door seal multiple times before we declare the job finished and hand you the keys to your new sanctuary.
Investing in your home safety is always a smart financial move compared to the high cost of assisted living facilities.

Because of this, we offer completely free, no-obligation home assessments to check your plumbing and give you an exact price.
We believe in transparent pricing with absolutely zero hidden fees or surprise upcharges at the end of the project.

You get honest advice, top-tier craftsmanship, and a gorgeous new bathing area that brings back your peace of mind.
Trying to tackle this type of complex project as a DIY weekend job usually leads to major headaches and expensive water damage.
These specialized units are incredibly heavy and require precise leveling to ensure the door seals properly.
If the frame is even slightly crooked, the door will leak and ruin your bathroom floor.

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 Lodgepole.
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.
