The McKinney Acres crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Andrews 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 into a warm bath should feel like a pure slice of heaven. However, high tub walls often turn this relaxing ritual into a scary balancing act. If you find yourself holding your breath every time you step over that slippery barrier, you are definitely not alone.
We help you reclaim your independence by upgrading your bathroom with a secure, low-step alternative that fits your space perfectly. Our team specializes in retrofitting bathrooms so you can bathe without fear or assistance.
Imagine sliding open a secure door and just stepping right in. This simple change completely eliminates the risk of slipping while balancing on one foot. As a result, you get to keep your privacy and enjoy your warm water therapy in total peace.
We believe everyone deserves a stress-free bathroom experience, especially when dealing with mobility challenges or joint pain. Our local crew brings years of hands-on experience to help you choose the ideal setup for your home.
Which means you do not have to pack up and move to an assisted living facility just because your current bathroom feels like an obstacle course. By modifying your existing layout, we turn your current home into a forever home.
On top of that, we always provide a free estimate right at your doorstep to keep things simple. We sit down with you, measure your space, and plan out a budget-friendly path to a safer lifestyle.
Traditional tubs require you to lift your leg surprisingly high, which gets harder as the years roll by or after an injury. By contrast, our specialized low-threshold models feature an ultra-low entry point that is only a few inches off the floor.
This lets you walk right inside, sit down on a comfortable raised seat, and close the watertight door behind you. It is a total game-changer for anyone dealing with arthritis or balance issues.
To help you understand the major differences between standard setups and these specialized step-in systems, we put together a quick comparison table below:
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Step-In Safety Tub |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Usually 2 to 6 inches |
| Seating | Flat bottom (must sit on floor) | Contoured, ADA-compliant raised seat |
| Safety Grab Bars | Rarely built-in, must buy separate | Strategically integrated into the unit |
| Slip Resistance | Slippery porcelain or acrylic | Textured, high-traction flooring |
Naturally, some folks worry about how long it takes to drain the water before they can open the door and step out. Fortunately, our modern units come equipped with rapid-drain technology that empties the basin in a flash.
Consequently, you will not have to sit there shivering while waiting for the water to disappear. It is all about combining maximum safety with everyday convenience.
Additionally, we install beautiful, thick grab bars right where your hands naturally reach for support. These heavy-duty bars give you incredible leverage when standing up or sitting down.
Plus, the textured floor surfaces prevent your feet from sliding around, even when the soap bubbles start piling up. You get a secure grip from the moment you step inside until you dry off.
You might think that upgrading your bathroom requires weeks of messy construction and dusty chaos. Actually, our experienced crew can usually complete the entire swap in just a day or two.
We take great pride in keeping our workspace clean, respecting your home, and minimizing any disruption to your daily routine. We treat your house just like we would treat our own grandmother's place.
First, we carefully remove your old, bulky tub without damaging the surrounding drywall or flooring. Next, we inspect the underlying pipes to ensure your plumbing is in tip-top shape.
Because these specialized units are heavy when filled with water, we also reinforce the subfloor if needed. This step ensures your new setup remains rock-solid and leak-free for decades to come.
After that, we slide the new unit into place and hook up the faucet fixtures, drain lines, and any optional hydrotherapy jets you selected. We seal every single edge with premium, mold-resistant silicone to keep moisture from sneaking behind your walls.
Finally, we run a complete test cycle to verify that the door seal is completely airtight and the drainage system flows perfectly. We do not leave until we know every single bolt is tight and every seal is dry.
Every home is a bit different, which is why we never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you live in a cozy ranch home or a larger family estate in Andrews County, we find the perfect match for your bathroom dimensions.
We offer a wide variety of sizes, door swing configurations, and finish options to match your current decor. You do not have to sacrifice style to make your home safer and more accessible.
For instance, some homeowners prefer a compact model that fits neatly into a tight corner, while others want a deep, wide basin for a full-body soak. We also offer left-handed and right-handed door hinges to accommodate your specific bathroom layout.
This means you can easily navigate around your sink and toilet without feeling cramped or trapped. We design the layout so it flows naturally with your daily movements.
However, we know that budget is a major factor for hardworking families, especially with a local median household income of around $42,454. That is why we offer transparent pricing and various options to keep this crucial safety upgrade affordable.
We believe that staying safe in your own home should not cost an absolute arm and a leg. We work closely with you to find a solution that protects both your physical health and your hard-earned savings.
From the moment you contact us, we treat you with the respect and honesty you expect from a local neighbor. We do not use high-pressure sales tactics or try to push fancy upgrades you do not actually need.
Instead, we focus on listening to your specific physical needs and finding the most practical solution. Our goal is to make your life easier, plain and simple.
When we visit your home for your free quote, we look at your water heater capacity to ensure it can handle the new basin. We also check your doorway widths to plan the safest path for bringing the new unit inside.
This thorough planning prevents unexpected surprises or extra fees on installation day. We lay out all the details on paper so you know exactly what to expect.
On top of that, we love serving our small-town communities, including areas with a population of 1,021 residents who value trust and good old-fashioned craftsmanship. We love seeing the relief on our clients' faces when they realize they can finally bathe in peace again.
It is incredibly rewarding to know our work helps folks hold onto their independence and stay in the homes they love. We stand behind our work with solid warranties and friendly, local support whenever you need us.
Waiting for a slip or a fall to happen before making a change is a risky gamble you do not need to take. Taking action today protects your well-being and gives your family members immense peace of mind.
They will rest easy knowing you can enjoy your daily warm soak without any scary slips or struggles. It is a simple upgrade that delivers massive relief for everyone involved.

Let us show you how easy, affordable, and stress-free upgrading your bathroom can really be!
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 McKinney Acres.
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.
