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 as we get older or deal with nagging joint pain. That steep porcelain wall starts to look more like a dangerous hazard than a place to unwind after a long day. If you worry about slipping on wet tiles, you are definitely not alone in this struggle.
Fortunately, a specialized bathroom upgrade offers a secure way to wash without the scary balancing act. This smart solution features a leak-proof door built right into the side of the basin so you can just step inside. By choosing this modern setup, you regain your privacy and peace of mind during your daily routine.
Right now, our local team is ready to visit your home and provide a written estimate. We want to help you make your home safer without any high-pressure sales tactics or hidden fees. Since we live and work nearby, we understand exactly how to upgrade local homes for maximum safety.
Think about never having to hoist your legs over a high tub ledge ever again. These clever deep-soaking basins let you open a secure swinging door, step over a tiny threshold of just a few inches, and sit down on a comfortable raised seat. Because the seat is molded and slip-resistant, you stay upright and stable the whole time you soak.
Once you are comfortably seated inside, you close the heavy-duty door latch which creates a watertight seal that keeps all the water off your floor. Then, you turn on the faucet to fill the extra-deep basin with warm, soothing water up to your chest. This deep water level lets you enjoy a true therapeutic soak that relaxes aching muscles and stiff knees.
When you finish washing, the fast-drain technology empties the water rapidly so you do not have to sit there shivering for too long. After the water clears out, you simply swing the door open and walk out onto your bath mat safely. It is a simple upgrade that completely removes the fear of falling from your daily routine.
Every single home has different layout needs and every person has unique physical requirements. Because of this, we customize these safe bathing systems with various door swings, seat heights, and handrail placements. This attention to detail means your new setup will fit your body like a glove.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we put together a handy guide of the core features below:
| Safety Feature | Daily Benefit For You |
|---|---|
| Low-step entry door | No more lifting legs over high barriers |
| Contoured built-in seat | Sit comfortably without slipping downward |
| Integrated grab bars | Solid handholds for stable standing and sitting |
| Hydrotherapy jets | Soothing water massage for sore muscles |
| Fast-drain system | Minimizes waiting time before exiting the tub |
On top of those safety perks, these heavy-duty units are built with thick, non-porous acrylic that resists mold and grime. Consequently, you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees with harsh chemical cleaners. Which means your bathroom stays cleaner with a fraction of the physical effort.
Installing one of these deep-soaking systems is definitely not a weekend DIY project for a novice. Since these units require precise plumbing hookups, electrical wiring for jets, and flawless leveling, you need experienced hands on the job. Our local crew knows how to slide these units into your existing space without destroying your walls.
We take care of the entire process from removing your old cast-iron tub to sealing the new surround. This hassle-free service ensures that your plumbing handles the high water volume and drains properly without backing up. We also make sure the structural floor underneath is fully reinforced to support the weight of a deep basin filled with water.
By trusting our team, you get a beautiful, watertight finish that protects your home from hidden water damage. We take pride in our clean workspaces and will treat your house with absolute respect from start to finish. Our guys clean up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools and leave.

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 Midlothian.
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.
