The Melbourne Beach crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Brevard 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.
You probably find that getting in and out of a standard high-walled basin feels like climbing a mountain these days. By switching to a unit with a side-entry door, you make your bathroom much more accessible and secure for years to come.
Getting this kind of upgrade allows you to reclaim your independence while keeping your bathroom looking stylish and modern. You deserve a space where you can relax without feeling nervous about potential slips or falls on those slippery tiles.
Many people living in our beautiful coastal town find that their old setup just does not cut it anymore. Installing a deep, seat-equipped basin with a watertight door means you can finally enjoy a nice soak without the struggle of lifting your legs over a tall edge.
Because the side door seals tight, you stay safe and dry while the water fills up around you. This simple change provides a massive boost to your quality of life, letting you bathe with total ease instead of worrying about balance issues.
Most of these units feature a low threshold entry point that sits just a couple of inches off the floor. This tiny detail saves you from high-stepping every single morning, which drastically reduces the risk of accidents.
Moreover, the built-in seat supports your body so you do not have to hunch over or sit on the cold floor. Imagine sitting back while the warm water swirls around you, knowing that your feet are planted firmly on a surface designed to stop you from sliding around.
Choosing a local professional who knows your neighborhood is always the smartest move you can make. We serve the 32951 area code and help folks right here in our small town enjoy their homes for much longer.
Since our population is just over three thousand, we take pride in doing honest work for our neighbors who value quality. With a median household income of over eighty-two thousand dollars, you likely appreciate durable home improvements that add real value to your property.
Hanging a new unit involves more than just swapping out the old porcelain tub for something new. You have to ensure that the plumbing lines line up perfectly and that the drainage system can handle the flow of water safely.
If the seal is not perfect, you could end up with water damage that costs way more than the unit itself. That is why having a pro handle the labor ensures that every seam is tight and every pipe is secure for the long haul.
Adding this feature to your bathroom makes your home much more attractive to future buyers who want accessible living spaces. You are essentially turning a stressful area of the house into a sanctuary of rest and relaxation.
Rather than thinking of it as a medical necessity, view it as a high-end upgrade for your master suite. You gain peace of mind every single time you step inside, knowing that your bathroom is designed to suit your physical needs perfectly.
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Modern Side-Entry Unit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | 15 to 20 inches | 2 to 4 inches | |
| Seating | None | Built-in molded seat | |
| Safety Features | None | Grab bars and non-slip floor | |
| Usage | Standing or lying | Sitting upright |
As you can see from the table above, the difference in design is massive. While a standard basin works for kids or younger adults, the specialized units provide a level of convenience that is truly unmatched.
Investing in your home is always a bit of a balancing act regarding your budget. However, when you look at the price of potentially needing assistance, a one-time install feels like a bargain.
Think about the time you save by not having to wipe up water spills after every bath. Plus, the sheer joy of being able to enjoy a soak whenever you feel like it brings a sense of contentment that money cannot easily buy.
You might wonder if your current bathroom layout can accommodate these larger, deeper units. Most of the time, these models are designed to fit into the same footprint as a standard shower or tub.
Sometimes, we need to adjust the plumbing layout slightly to ensure the water pressure is high enough for a fast fill. We always check these details during our first visit so you know exactly what to expect before we even pick up a wrench.
Whether you want jets for a massage or just a basic deep basin, there are many options to explore. Some people love the feeling of bubbles, while others prefer a simple, quiet soak that helps them unwind after a long afternoon.
Because everyone has different preferences, we take the time to talk through what feels best for you. No one should have to settle for a setup that does not meet their specific requirements for daily refreshment.
Giving us a call is the very first step toward getting the bathroom you have been dreaming about. We show up at your house, measure the space, and chat about what you want to achieve with this renovation.
There is never any pressure to sign anything on the spot because we believe in letting you think about your options. You get a clear, written estimate that breaks down exactly what you are paying for, so there are no surprises hidden in the fine print.
We only use high-quality acrylic materials that are designed to resist staining and cracking over many years. This material stays warm to the touch, which helps keep the water heat constant for a longer period.
On top of that, the surface is super easy to clean, meaning you spend less time scrubbing and more time relaxing. You deserve a material that looks shiny and new for years, regardless of how often you use your private spa space.
You are probably ready to stop worrying about your bathroom safety once and for all. Taking action today means you can look forward to a future where you feel confident and stable in your own house.
Getting that free estimate is the simplest way to get the ball rolling on your project. You can contact us today to set up a time that works for your schedule, and we will handle all the heavy lifting from there.
Most of these projects can be completed in just a couple of days, depending on the complexity of the plumbing. We aim to get in and out as quickly as possible so you do not have to live in a construction zone.
We always clean up our workspace thoroughly, leaving your bathroom cleaner than we found it. You get to enjoy your new upgrade without having to worry about dust or debris left behind by a messy crew.
Many folks worry about the water volume needed for these deeper units. Fortunately, we can install high-flow faucets that fill the basin in just a few minutes, so you are never waiting around for the water to rise.
Another frequent question is about the electrical requirements for the jet systems. We handle all the wiring according to local codes to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely, giving you one less thing to ponder.
Once we finish the work, we walk you through how to operate the door latch and the controls. It is very straightforward, and you will be a pro at using it after just one or two tries.
If you ever have a question down the road, you know exactly who to call to get a straight answer. We stand by our work, and we are always happy to help our neighbors keep their homes in top-notch shape.

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 Melbourne Beach.
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.
