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.

Statistically speaking, most household slips happen right where you wash up, which is why upgrading your setup makes total sense.

Our team of local setup pros travels right to your door to check out your space.

Now, you might think your current bathroom layout is too small or awkward for a major change.
Actually, these specialized low-threshold soaking units fit into the exact same footprint as your standard five-foot bath.
Which means you do not have to tear down your walls or redo your entire plumbing system just to feel secure again.
First, we need to talk about how we actually get these leak-proof swinging-door units into your home.
Our crew starts by carefully removing your old, slippery porcelain or acrylic basin without wrecking your drywall.
After that, we inspect the subfloor to ensure no hidden water damage will ruin your new investment down the road.
Then, we bring in the new heavy-duty fiberglass or acrylic shell with its built-in contoured seating.
This step requires some serious muscle and precise leveling so the door seals up perfectly airtight.
Once it is in place, we hook up the specialized fast-drain system so you do not sit there shivering while the water empties out.
To give you a better idea of how this looks, here is a quick breakdown of the typical steps.
| Project Stage | What We Do | Your Concrete Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition | Carefully extract your old high-step basin | No mess left behind for you to clean |
| Plumbing Prep | Upgrade drains and install anti-scald valves | Water heats up fast and drains even faster |
| Placement | Slide in and level the new gated unit | A perfect, leak-free seal every single time |
| Finishing | Seal the edges and install safety grab bars | Total stability when entering and exiting |
After we finish the main hookups, we run a complete water test to verify everything works flawlessly.
This guarantees you will not deal with annoying puddles on your bathroom floor after your very first soak.
Plus, we clean up our workspace so well that you will barely even know we were there.
Living in this beautiful part of northeastern Pennsylvania means dealing with some pretty chilly winters.
Imagine coming home from a cold day and soaking in a deep, warm bath that safely supports your body.
Our local homes often feature older layouts, but we know exactly how to adapt our methods to these classic structures.
With a local population of over three hundred thousand residents, many folks here are looking for ways to age in place.
This specific area, nestled in the historic Wyoming Valley, features a median household income of around fifty-five thousand dollars.
Therefore, we focus on providing cost-effective upgrades that add real value to your property while keeping you safe.
Whether you reside in Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, or smaller spots covered by ZIP codes like 18702 or 18201, we come to you.
Because we know the local building codes inside and out, your project will meet every single safety standard.
This saves you from future headaches or costly compliance issues if you ever decide to sell your home.
Let us dive into the actual components that make these accessible bathing systems so incredibly reliable.
First off, the incredibly low step-in height eliminates the need to balance on one leg while climbing over a high barrier.
This lets you simply walk right in, sit down on the raised bench, and close the watertight door behind you.
On top of that, these units feature heavy-duty grab bars placed exactly where your hands naturally reach for support.
Which means you maintain your balance effortlessly, even when your hands are soapy and wet.
We also install slip-resistant flooring inside the base to prevent any unexpected footing mishaps while you stand up.
Additionally, you can opt for heated seating backrests that keep your upper body warm while the basin fills up.
This keeps you incredibly cozy during those freezing January mornings when the bathroom air feels extra brisk.
You can also choose hydrotherapy jets that target sore muscles and help you unwind after a long, stressful day.
You might see DIY videos online and think this is a project you can tackle over a weekend.
However, dealing with heavy fiberglass units and complex plumbing lines requires specialized tools and years of hands-on practice.
One tiny mistake with the door alignment can lead to slow leaks that rot your floorboards over time.
Our team handles the heavy lifting so you do not risk injuring your back or damaging your home.
This keeps your manufacturer warranty fully intact, which is super important if a part ever needs replacing.
We bring all the right permits and insurance to the job, giving you total peace of mind from start to finish.
Not every bathroom features the same amount of open space, which is why we offer several different model sizes.
Some units are designed extra deep for a full-body soak, while others feature a wider door for easier wheelchair transfers.
During our visit, we measure your doorways and hallways to ensure the new unit fits through your house without a hitch.
This careful planning prevents any awkward surprises on the day of the actual setup.
We want you to feel confident that the model you choose fits your body shape and your bathroom layout perfectly.
Our friendly crew explains all your options in plain English without using confusing construction jargon.
Getting started is actually much easier than you think, and it will not cost you a single penny to explore.
You simply reach out to us, and we will schedule a convenient time to drop by and look at your current bathroom setup.
This allows us to give you an incredibly accurate estimate so you know exactly what to expect budget-wise.
We do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics or making you sign things on the spot... we just want to help.
Once you have the quote, you can take all the time you need to discuss it with your family.
Our ultimate goal is to make your daily routine safer and much more enjoyable, one step at a time.
So, why keep worrying about slips and falls when a simple phone call can change everything?

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.
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.
