The Michie crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over McNairy 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 older or dealing with limited mobility makes your daily bathroom routine feel like a risky obstacle course.
Fortunately, swapping your high-walled standard basin for a specialized low-threshold step-in bathing system restores your independence immediately.
Which means you can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips and start enjoying your warm baths again.
Our dedicated local team specializes in replacing outdated, hazardous setups with secure and beautiful accessible units.
This lets you stay in the home you love for many years to come.
We can visit your home to measure your space and provide a completely free written estimate today.
Selecting the right setup requires a bit of planning since every bathroom layout has its own unique challenges.
For starters, you need to decide between a simple soaking unit or a model packed with therapeutic air and water jets.
These heated hydrotherapy jets target sore muscles and stiff joints, which is a lifesaver after a long day of physical work.
On top of that, these units feature watertight doors that seal shut with a heavy-duty lever to prevent any messy leaks on your floor.
Another major factor to think about is how the water drains out once you finish your bath.
Traditional drains take forever to empty, leaving you sitting there shivering in the cold while you wait.
To solve this, we install rapid-drain technology that empties the entire basin in under two minutes flat.
This smart upgrade ensures you stay warm and comfortable during the transition out of the seat.
Let us look at a quick comparison of the main features you can choose from:
| Feature | Primary Benefit | Who It Is For |
|---|---|---|
| Low Step-In Entry | Eliminates the need to climb over a high tub wall | Anyone with balance issues or joint pain |
| Heated Hydro Jets | Relieves arthritis pain and relaxes muscles | People seeking therapeutic relief at home |
| Fast Drain System | Minimizes waiting time after your bath is done | Users who get cold easily when wet |
| ADA Seat Height | Allows easy sitting and standing | Individuals with limited leg strength |
Attempting a DIY job on these heavy, complex units usually leads to major plumbing headaches and expensive water damage.
Because these accessible fixtures weigh a lot more than standard fiberglass basins, your subfloor often needs extra structural support.
Our skilled crew carefully inspects your joists to guarantee everything is strong enough to handle the weight when the system is full.
This attention to detail keeps your home safe and structurally sound for decades.
Besides structural concerns, the plumbing connections must align perfectly to avoid hidden leaks behind your drywall.
We reroute your existing pipes and install high-flow faucets designed to fill your deep basin incredibly fast.
This means you do not have to wait around forever just to get the water up to your shoulders.
We also handle the disposal of your old, heavy cast-iron or steel fixture so you do not have to lift a finger.
Living in a quiet, tight-knit southern community means you deserve personalized service from neighbors who understand your specific needs.
We proudly serve homeowners throughout McNairy County, where many residents live in classic homes built with older plumbing configurations.
Whether your home is closer to the state line or tucked away near the local schools, we know how to adapt modern fixtures to fit older houses.
Our team respects your property, keeps the work area incredibly clean, and finishes the job with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Understanding the local demographics helps us keep our services highly competitive and accessible for everyone.
Since the median household income in this charming area of 963 residents is around $33,636, we focus on cost-effective remodeling solutions.
We believe that safety in your own home should never be an unaffordable luxury.
That is why we offer flexible options to fit various budgets while maintaining top-tier craftsmanship for every family in the 38357 ZIP code.
First, our team arrives at your home to carefully remove your old shower or traditional tub without damaging the surrounding walls.
This phase requires precision because we want to preserve as much of your original drywall and tiling as possible.
Once the old unit is out, we inspect the exposed framing for any hidden mold, rot, or water damage that needs fixing.
Addressing these hidden issues now saves you from massive repair bills down the road.
Next, we run new hot and cold water lines and upgrade your drain pipe to accommodate the faster water flow.
We then slide the new heavy-duty acrylic basin into place and level it perfectly using its adjustable steel frame.
This ensures the door seals tightly and the water drains completely toward the outlet without pooling in the corners.
Finally, we hook up the electrical components for your jets and seal all the edges with premium, mold-resistant silicone.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, here is a typical timeline for our services:
| Project Phase | Estimated Time | Key Activities Included |
|---|---|---|
| In-Home Consultation | 1 to 2 Hours | Measuring space, checking plumbing, and choosing your model |
| Demolition & Prep | 1 Day | Removing the old tub and inspecting the subfloor for damage | 1 Day | Upgrading water lines, installing drains, and wiring the pump |
| Setting & Sealing | 1 Day | Positioning the unit, testing the door seal, and applying caulk |
Finding the perfect balance between cost and functional features does not have to be a stressful chore.
Standard models offer incredible safety benefits like built-in grab bars, slip-resistant floors, and a very low entry step.
These basic units keep you safe without breaking the bank or requiring complex electrical upgrades.
However, upgrading to a luxury model adds incredible value if you want to turn your bathroom into a private spa retreat.
Think about your long-term physical needs when choosing which features to prioritize during your purchase.
If you struggle with cold feet, look for a unit that features a heated backrest to keep you warm while the basin fills.
For those with severe hand arthritis, choose lever-style faucets and door handles that do not require tight gripping or twisting.
Investing in these small details now ensures your bathroom remains fully functional for you as you age.
Taking the first step toward a safer home is much easier when you do not have to worry about high-pressure sales tactics.
We visit your home to look at your space, discuss your goals, and give you an honest, upfront price quote.
This lets you make an informed decision with zero stress or obligation.

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 Michie.
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.
