The Minnetonka crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Hennepin 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.
Every single day, simple bathroom routines can feel like climbing a steep mountain when your old standard basin becomes too difficult to step over.
Luckily, you can reclaim your independence and enjoy a soothing bath without any fear of slipping or tripping.
By bringing in a local specialist to swap your tall-walled basin for a low-threshold entry door option, you instantly turn your daily routine back into a stress-free experience.
Since we live in a beautiful community in Hennepin County, we understand how those chilly northern winters make a warm deep soak absolutely essential for stiff muscles.
This is why our team loves helping neighbors find the perfect setup that keeps them safe and warm inside their own homes.
You deserve to feel confident every time you decide to take a bath, which is why we offer an in-home assessment to look at your layout and give you an honest price.
To put it simply, this project replaces your traditional high-sided basin with a custom-engineered unit featuring a leak-proof door that opens right up.
This means you only have to lift your foot a couple of inches to step inside, rather than balancing on one wet leg like an acrobat.
Once you step inside, you sit down on a raised, molded seat that is much easier on your knees and back than sitting flat on the floor.
Additionally, these specialized units come packed with features designed to make your bathing experience feel incredibly rich and supportive.
You can choose models with heated backrests, hydrotherapy jets, and fast-draining technology so you do not have to sit shivering while the water empties.
Here is a quick look at how these smart upgrades compare to what you probably have in your home right now.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Accessible Safe Basin Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Threshold | 14 to 18 inches high | Ultra-low 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating Position | Flat on the cold floor | Contoured, chair-height bench |
| Safety Elements | Slippery flat surfaces | Built-in grab bars and textured floors |
When you decide to make this change, you need someone who knows the local plumbing quirks of homes built across the 55345 ZIP area.
Because water pressure and water heater capacities vary wildly from one neighborhood to another, an amateur install can leave you with a chilly bath.
We check your existing water lines and your water heater size to ensure your new system fills up quickly with plenty of piping hot water.
Naturally, our local crew handles the entire heavy lifting process, including safely disposing of your old heavy cast iron or acrylic tub.
This saves you from dealing with messy demolition debris and permits, as we take care of all the local codes and regulations.
Which means you get to sit back, relax, and watch your bathroom transform into a personal spa oasis in just a couple of days.
Many homeowners worry that their bathroom is simply too small to fit one of these modern, secure bathing systems.
Fortunately, these clever units are designed to fit into the exact same footprint as your current standard alcove setup.
This keeps your remodeling costs down because we do not have to rip out your entire structural framing or move your main drain lines around.
Furthermore, our team takes precise measurements during your visit to ensure we select a model that glides through your doorways.
You get a seamless fit that looks like it was built with the house, adding immense value and peace of mind.
On top of that, we seal every single edge with premium, mold-resistant silicone to keep your bathroom sparkling clean and dry for years.
Investing in your safety is always a smart financial move, especially when you compare it to the high cost of assisted living facilities.
With a median household income of $91,374 in our lovely city of Minnetonka, Minnesota, local families understand the long-term value of investing in high-quality home modifications.
You are not just buying a new place to wash; you are securing your ability to stay in the home you love for decades to come.
While some folks might worry about the upfront price, we pride ourselves on transparency and never use high-pressure sales tactics.
We sit down at your kitchen table, look at your budget, and map out a plan that works perfectly for your financial situation.
This lets you make an educated decision without any stress or hidden fees popping up later down the road.
First, we start with a friendly conversation where you tell us exactly what you need, whether that is extra grab bars or heated surfaces.
Then, our expert technician visits your home to inspect your current plumbing lines, floor strength, and electrical access.
This thorough check prevents any unexpected surprises during the actual physical setup, keeping your project on time and on budget.
Next, our skilled team carefully extracts your old unit without damaging your surrounding drywall, flooring, or tile.
We then reinforce the subfloor to handle the weight of the new system filled with water, ensuring absolute structural safety.
Finally, we hook up the new heavy-duty drains, align the door seals, and run a rigorous water test to guarantee there are absolutely zero leaks.
Every person has unique physical needs, so we never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to your daily wash.
You can choose the exact placement of your grab bars to match your natural reach and balance points.
This level of personalization ensures that you always feel completely stable and in control when entering or exiting your bath.
Besides the grab bars, you can opt for therapeutic air jets that gently massage sore joints and improve circulation after a long day.
These little touches turn a safety necessity into a luxurious daily treat that you will genuinely look forward to enjoying.
Which means you get to soothe your aches and pains in a cozy, private space designed entirely around your physical well-being.
A major concern we hear from folks is how long they will have to wait for the water to drain before they can open the door.
To solve this, we install high-speed dual-drain systems that empty the entire basin in under two minutes.
This prevents you from sitting cold and wet, allowing you to dry off and step out onto your bath mat quickly and safely.
Another common question is whether your current water heater can handle the capacity of these deeper, more luxurious units.
Sometimes we recommend upgrading to a tankless water heater or a larger storage tank to ensure you never run out of warm water midway through.
We analyze all of this during our initial consultation so you have all the facts before we ever turn a single wrench.
Do not wait for an accidental slip or fall to force your hand into making your bathroom safer.
Taking proactive steps right now ensures that you remain completely independent and comfortable in your own home for years to come.
Our friendly local team is ready to drive out to your property, answer every single question you have, and provide a detailed, no-obligation price quote.

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 Minnetonka.
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.
