If you need to make your bathroom safer and way more comfortable without losing your independence, we have the perfect setup for you. Our team helps local homeowners swap their old, risky showers for secure, low-step bathing systems that prevent slips. You can get a free estimate today to see how easy this upgrade really is.
Every single year, thousands of folks take a bad spill on wet bathroom tiles. This happens because stepping over a high barrier is tough when your knees or hips start acting up. By installing a custom accessible bath with a leak-proof door, you completely eliminate that dangerous giant leap. You simply open the swinging gate, walk right inside, and sit down on a molded, raised seat.
Actually, the benefits go way beyond just avoiding a nasty fall in the tub. You also get to experience deep relaxation thanks to specialized water jets and heated surfaces that soothe sore muscles. Because our units come with sturdy built-in grab bars, you will always feel completely balanced and secure. This simple change allows you to stay in your beloved home much longer instead of moving to an expensive assisted living facility.
Moreover, modern engineering ensures these sealed chambers drain out incredibly fast so you do not sit there shivering after your bath. We only use high-grade acrylics that resist mold growth, which means you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees. It is truly a win-win situation for your physical health and your peace of mind.
First, our friendly local technicians arrive at your home to measure your current layout and discuss what features fit your lifestyle. We take our time to explain how different models fit into the footprint of your existing traditional shower.
Next, we handle all the heavy lifting, including the removal of your old heavy cast-iron fixture. Our skilled installers inspect your underlying floor joists and update the drain pipes to handle the new quick-release water systems. Since we respect your home, we always lay down protective blankets to keep your floors spotless during the process.
Finally, we hook up the fixtures, seal every single seam with industrial-grade silicone, and test the watertight door seal. We make sure you know exactly how to operate the heated backrest and the therapeutic hydrotherapy jets before we leave. You can see a quick breakdown of how our typical installation timeline looks below.
| Project Phase | What We Do | Your Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| In-Home Consultation | Measure space and check plumbing | Accurate pricing with zero hidden fees |
| Demolition & Prep | Remove old tub and reinforce floor | A rock-solid base that never sags |
| Placement & Hookup | Install the new unit and secure seals | Guaranteed leak-free operation for years |
Naturally, every homeowner has different physical requirements, so we offer a wide variety of customization options. You can choose inward-swinging doors if you have a tight bathroom space, or outward-swinging doors for easier wheelchair transfers. On top of that, we can add handheld showerheads that let you wash your hair while remaining safely seated.
As you plan this upgrade, you might also want to think about adding targeted air therapy jets. These tiny bubbles gently massage your skin and improve circulation without being too intense. This lets you turn your daily hygiene routine into a luxurious spa-like experience right in your own home.
Additionally, we offer beautiful wall surround panels that match your existing decor perfectly. These non-porous walls eliminate the need for ugly grout lines that collect grime and dirt over time. Which means your bathroom stays looking clean and beautiful with just a simple wipe down.

We know the local building codes inside and out, so you never have to worry about permit issues. Whether you live near the beautiful lilac gardens or closer to the bustling shopping districts, we are just a quick drive away.
Actually, with a local median household income of $79,684, many of our hard-working neighbors are choosing to invest in their homes.

We proudly serve all 43,904 residents across the entire region, especially around the ZIP codes of 60148.
Because we are local, we can easily pop over to your house to provide a no-obligation estimate at a time that works best for you. We do not believe in pushy sales tactics; we just want to help you find a safe bathing solution. You will get an honest assessment and a fair price from folks who actually care about your safety.
Yes, because these units are specifically designed to fit into the exact same footprint as your standard 5-foot bathtub. Our team can easily adapt the plumbing to match your current layout without tearing down your walls. This keeps your remodeling costs down and speeds up the entire installation process.
In most cases, we can complete the entire swap in just one to two days. We work quickly and efficiently so you do not have to live in a messy construction zone for weeks. This means your daily routine is barely disrupted, and you can start enjoying your safe new bath almost immediately.
Not at all, because they are crafted from high-gloss acrylic that naturally repels soap scum and hard water stains. You do not need to use harsh chemical cleaners that hurt your lungs; mild soap and warm water do the trick. This saves you money on cleaning supplies and protects your physical health too.
Now is the perfect time to take control of your safety and regain your bathing independence. You do not have to live with the daily fear of slipping or tripping while trying to get clean. Our team is ready to help you design a beautiful, accessible bathroom that fits your budget.
This lets you enjoy a warm, soothing bath without any anxiety or physical strain. We invite you to contact us today to schedule your home assessment. We will look at your space, answer all your questions, and give you a detailed quote with zero obligations.
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 Lombard.
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.
