The McCartys crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Cibola 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 bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees or back start acting up. That is why replacing your old, high-walled basin with a secure, low-step alternative makes such a huge difference for your daily routine. By choosing a modern accessible bathing enclosure with a leak-proof door, you immediately regain your independence and peace of mind. We specialize in retrofitting these specialized units to help you stay in the home you love without worrying about nasty slips or falls.
If you are tired of struggling with high tub walls, our team is ready to visit your home and evaluate your space. This means you get a customized plan tailored specifically to your layout and budget. Plus, we provide a completely free estimate so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
Safety stands out as the main reason people decide to swap their old tubs for these genius designs. Because these units feature an incredibly low entry threshold of just a few inches, you no longer have to balance on one wet foot while swinging the other over a high ledge. On top of that, built-in grab bars and slip-resistant floors give you solid points of contact at every single step of your bath. You can finally wave goodbye to that constant anxiety of slipping on wet porcelain.
Comfort plays a massive role in this decision too, especially when your body aches after a long day. Since these deep basins allow you to sit upright on a raised, contoured bench, you get to submerge your torso fully without struggling to get back up from the floor. Which means you can soak your sore muscles in warm water while enjoying a stable, secure seated position. It is like having a private spa right in your own home, designed with your physical well-being in mind.
| Key Safety Features | Concrete Daily Benefits |
|---|---|
| Low-step entry door | Prevents tripping and losing your balance when entering |
| Contoured built-in seating | Eliminates the struggle of standing up from a low floor |
| Interior grab bars | Provides steady handholds on wet surfaces |
| Fast-drain technology | Minimizes waiting time before you can open the door |
First, we start by carefully measuring your existing setup to ensure a flawless fit. This lets us select the perfect configuration, whether you need a space-saving model or a larger unit with advanced water jets. Our skilled crew handles the heavy lifting, removing your old heavy cast-iron or acrylic tub without damaging your walls. We take pride in keeping our workspace clean so your home remains tidy throughout the entire project.
Next, we inspect the underlying subfloor and plumbing connections to guarantee everything is up to code. Because water damage can hide behind old drywall, we make sure to reinforce the area and install mold-resistant backer boards. This step prevents future leaks and ensures your new heavy-duty basin sits on a level, rock-solid foundation. We do not cut corners because we want your investment to last for decades.
Finally, our technicians hook up the specialized drainage systems and seal the watertight door seals. This ensures that not a single drop of water escapes onto your bathroom floor while you enjoy your deep soak. After testing every valve and jet, we walk you through how to operate all the features. You will feel completely confident using your new setup from day one.
Every home has its own unique character, especially in historic or rural areas. We love serving our neighbors in this beautiful region of Cibola County, where homes range from cozy cabins to spacious ranches. Whether you live in a secluded spot or near the heart of our tight-knit community, we bring our tools right to your doorstep. Our team understands the local water conditions and plumbing styles common to this part of New Mexico.
Living in a small enclave with a population of about 72 residents means that word-of-mouth and trust are everything. Since we do not have a massive, impersonal corporate office, we treat every client like our next-door neighbor. We know that with a median household income of $0 reported in some local census tracts, every dollar counts, which is why we focus on affordable, durable options. We serve the entire local area, including the central 87007 ZIP code, ensuring nobody has to travel far for quality service.
Our commitment to the community of McCartys means we always arrive on time and respect your property. We know how dry and dusty our local climate can get, so we take extra care to keep dirt outside during the installation. You get local expertise combined with friendly, down-to-earth service from people who actually care about your safety.
Yes, most of these specialized models are designed to fit into the exact same footprint as a traditional five-foot tub. This means we rarely have to tear down structural walls or reroute your entire bathroom layout. We simply slide the new unit into the existing alcove, saving you time and money on major remodeling costs.
Typically, our experienced crew can complete the removal and setup within one to two days. This fast turnaround minimizes the disruption to your daily routine so you do not have to live in a construction zone. We work efficiently to get your water running and your new safe oasis ready for use as quickly as possible.
Not at all, because they are crafted from high-quality, non-porous acrylic that resists mold and mildew. This makes cleaning incredibly easy, requiring just a quick wipe down with a mild soap and warm water. You will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time relaxing in warm water.
Waiting for an accident to happen before making a change is a risk you do not need to take. By upgrading your bathroom today, you secure your independence and protect your physical health for years to come. Our friendly team makes the entire transition smooth, simple, and completely stress-free from start to finish.
Contact us right away to schedule your free, no-obligation home assessment. We will look at your current plumbing, discuss your personal needs, and hand you a clear, honest quote. Let us help you transform your daily bath into a safe, deeply relaxing experience that you can look forward to every single day.
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 McCartys.
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.
