The Midway crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Bullock 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 bath can feel like climbing a mountain as you get older or deal with stiff joints. Luckily, you can swap that old high-walled basin for an incredibly safe, accessible bathing unit that lets you slide right onto a comfortable seat without stepping over a dangerous barrier. Our local team comes straight to your home to measure your space and give you a completely free estimate for this life-changing upgrade.
Taking this step means you can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet tile. This smart investment keeps you independent in your own home for years to come. Since we believe in absolute honesty, we will show you exactly how these units work and what to expect during the setup process.
First, we need to look at how these specialized airtight swinging-door units actually fit into your existing washroom layout. Many folks worry that their bathroom is simply too small for such a system. Fortunately, these clever setups are designed to match the footprint of a standard five-foot basin, so they fit into most homes without requiring you to tear down your walls.
During our initial visit, we look closely at your current plumbing lines to ensure everything drains fast. Because these units hold more water than a regular shallow tub, we often recommend upgrading to a fast-drain system. This ensures you do not have to sit there shivering while waiting for the water to empty out after your relaxing soak.
On top of that, your water heater needs to be strong enough to fill a deep vessel. If your current tank is a bit small, we will explain your options clearly so you get hot water every single time. Our goal is to make sure you get a system that works perfectly from day one.
To help you understand how these modern bathing systems compare to old-fashioned setups, we created a handy comparison table below.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Our Accessible Sealed-Door Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | Low threshold (often under 3 inches) |
| Seating | None (lying down on floor) | Contoured, ADA-compliant raised bench |
| Safety Features | Add-on mats only | Built-in grab bars and textured floors |
| Water Depth | Shallow | Deep torso-soaking capabilities |
Now, you might be tempted to hire a random handyman to slide one of these units in, but that is often a recipe for a soggy disaster. These heavy-duty sealed-door enclosures require precise leveling so the heavy door seals shut perfectly and never leaks a single drop on your floor. Our experienced crew knows exactly how to reinforce the subfloor to handle the weight of a full, deep wash unit.
Which means you get total peace of mind knowing your home is protected from water damage. We hook up the heavy-duty brass fixtures, secure the grab bars to the wall studs, and seal every single seam with high-grade silicone. You will not have to worry about mold growing behind your walls due to a bad DIY install.
Additionally, we handle the disposal of your old heavy cast-iron or fiberglass tub so you do not have to lift a finger. We clean up our mess completely before we leave your home. You just get to sit back and look forward to your first warm, soothing soak.
This lets you choose from several amazing features that turn a simple wash into a spa-like experience. You can opt for hydrotherapy jets that target your lower back and sore calves. If you prefer a gentler sensation, air jets can surround you with thousands of relaxing bubbles.
Then, you have to think about which way you want the door to swing. An outward-swinging door makes it incredibly easy to transfer from a wheelchair. Meanwhile, an inward-swinging door uses the water pressure itself to help keep the seal tight as a drum.
However, we must be honest about the fact that your bathroom will be a work zone for a couple of days. We have to shut off the main water valve for a few hours while we run the new piping. We always work as fast as possible to minimize the disruption to your daily routine.
Actually, most jobs take about two to three days from start to finish depending on the state of your old pipes. We do not take shortcuts because we want this system to last for decades. We treat your home with the exact same respect we would show to our own grandmother's house.

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 Midway.
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.
