The Mackenzie crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Saint Louis 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 hips start acting up.
Fortunately, you do not have to risk a nasty slip on those slick tiles anymore because a smart upgrade is closer than you think.
By choosing a specialized low-threshold bathing unit with a leak-proof door, you can regain your independence and enjoy hot baths without the constant worry of falling.
This is where my team steps in to help you transform your daily routine.
We travel right to your home to look at your existing setup and give you a clear, honest assessment.
Our personalized consultations cost you absolutely nothing, which means you get a free estimate without any pressure to make a decision on the spot.
Instead of stepping over a high porcelain wall, you simply open a secure side door and step over a tiny gap of just a few inches.
Once you step inside, you sit down on a raised, comfortable seat that is molded right into the heavy-duty acrylic shell.
This clever setup keeps your upper body upright while allowing deep water to submerge your tired muscles safely.
To make the experience even better, these modern systems come loaded with fast-draining technology.
You will not have to sit there shivering for ten minutes waiting for the water to empty out after your bath is done.
On top of that, strategically placed grab bars and slip-resistant floors give you total stability from the moment you step in until you dry off.
Let me tell you, installing one of these units is not a simple weekend DIY project for the average homeowner.
It requires precise plumbing alignments, custom trim work, and sometimes upgrading your water heater to handle the larger capacity.
That is why having a seasoned local team handle the heavy lifting ensures everything stays bone-dry and works flawlessly for years to come.
First of all, you get to keep living in your beloved home instead of moving into an expensive assisted living facility.
Which means you preserve your privacy and continue your daily routines exactly how you like them.
This peace of mind is priceless for both you and your worried family members who worry about you slipping when no one is around.
Additionally, the therapeutic benefits of a deep soak can do wonders for your body.
If you struggle with arthritis, poor circulation, or chronic back pain, the warm water pressure works like a gentle massage to soothe those stubborn aches.
Think of it as having a private spa session right in your own master bathroom whenever you feel like it.
To help you see how these safety systems compare to traditional fixtures, I put together this handy comparison table:
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Our Safe Accessible Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | 3 to 5 inches |
| Seating | Flat floor level | Contoured, ADA-compliant seat |
| Slip Risk | Very high | Minimal (textured floor & grab bars) |
| Water Depth | Shallow | Deep soaking chest-level capacity |
Living in our quiet corner of Saint Louis County means you appreciate neighbors who treat you with real respect.
We love serving the tight-knit community of Mackenzie, Missouri, where we understand the unique layouts of the homes built in this beautiful area.
Whether you live in one of the cozy properties near the local parks or along the quiet residential streets, we treat your house like our own.
With a local median household income of $64,792, we know that every dollar you invest in your property needs to bring real, lasting value.
Our tailored solutions fit your specific budget without cutting corners on material quality or water-tight seals.
Because our small town of 174 residents deserves the absolute best craftsmanship, we refuse to use cheap, flimsy inserts that crack after a few years.
Furthermore, our team is highly familiar with the local plumbing codes and structural styles common in the 63119 ZIP code area.
This local knowledge prevents unexpected delays during the hookup phase, meaning we get the job done quickly and cleanly.
You will not have to deal with endless mess or loud construction noises dragging on for weeks.
Now, let us talk about what actually happens when we show up to do the work at your property.
We start by carefully removing your old, outdated tub and inspecting the subfloor underneath for any hidden water damage or rot.
Fixing those hidden issues early prevents mold from growing under your new investment, which protects your breathing air and your home's structure.
After the prep work is complete, we run new drain lines and heavy-duty brass valves to handle the specialized water flow.
We then slide the new heavy-duty acrylic unit into place, leveling it perfectly so the door seals align with absolute precision.
This meticulous leveling prevents any annoying leaks from ruining your bathroom floor or the ceiling downstairs.
Finally, we hook up the custom fixtures, seal all the edges with commercial-grade silicone, and run a complete wet test.
We fill the unit to the top and test every seal, jet, and drain before we declare the job finished.
This rigorous testing phase gives you total confidence that your new setup is completely watertight and ready for action.
This depends on the size of your current tank, as these deep-soaking units typically require a bit more hot water than a standard shallow bath. During our free home visit, we will check your utility closet and let you know if your current heater can handle the job. If needed, we can suggest simple, cost-effective upgrades like a tankless booster to ensure you never run out of warm water mid-soak.
Most of our custom bathroom transformations take just one to two days to complete from start to finish. We work efficiently because we know how frustrating it is to have contractors trampling through your home for a week. Our crew cleans up every speck of dust before we leave, so your home looks cleaner than it did when we arrived.
Absolutely, because the high-gloss acrylic surfaces are specially treated to resist mold, mildew, and stubborn soap scum. You will not have to get down on your hands and knees with a harsh scrub brush anymore to keep things sparkling. A quick wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soap after your bath is all it takes to keep the finish looking brand new.
Do not wait for a scary slip or a painful fall to force your hand into making a sudden decision.
Taking control of your safety today allows you to design a beautiful, accessible space on your own terms.
Our friendly team is ready to answer your questions, show you the various style options, and help you find the perfect fit for your layout.
We make the entire process incredibly straightforward by coming directly to you for a relaxed, friendly conversation.

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 Mackenzie.
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.
