Stepping over a high barrier to take a simple bath can feel like climbing a mountain as the years roll by. Fortunately, you can swap that old hazardous basin for a modern low-entry bathing system that lets you just walk right in. This smart change eliminates the fear of slipping on wet porcelain because you enter through a secure leak-proof door.
Actually, many homeowners in this beautiful hillside community near the historic mission find that retrofitting their bathrooms keeps them independent for much longer. Since our neighborhood features a high median household income of $140,081, investing in quality home modifications is a very common way to protect your physical health and your property value. You deserve to feel completely secure in your own home without worrying about painful falls.
Naturally, we understand that every bathroom layout in this scenic area of 2,755 residents is a little bit different. That is why our local technicians visit your property to measure your space and discuss your personal mobility needs before any work begins. We want to ensure that your new accessible washing unit fits perfectly into your existing layout without requiring a massive, messy remodel.
When you choose to upgrade your bathroom with a secure-entry tub, you instantly gain peace of mind every single day. These specialized units feature built-in contoured seating which means you do not have to struggle to sit down or stand back up. On top of that, strategically placed grab bars provide sturdy handholds exactly where you need them most.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, we have put together a quick comparison of standard setups versus our accessible bathing solutions:
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Our Accessible Easy-Entry System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating | None (must sit on the floor) | Comfortable ADA-compliant raised seat |
| Safety Elements | Slippery flat surfaces | Non-slip floors and integrated grab bars |
| Therapy Options | Basic soaking only | Optional warm water hydrotherapy jets |
As you can see, the differences are massive when it comes to your daily protection and physical relaxation. Additionally, these units come equipped with fast-draining technology so you do not have to sit around shivering while the water empties out. This lets you get dressed quickly and get on with your day feeling completely refreshed.
Perhaps you are wondering how we actually get one of these big units into your cozy home. Well, our experienced crew handles everything from the initial plumbing assessment to the final watertight seal with absolute precision. First, we carefully remove your old outdated fixture while protecting your walls and flooring from any damage.
Then, we inspect your current pipe infrastructure to ensure that your hot water heater can handle the volume of your new deep-soaking oasis. If you live in the local ZIP code 93105, you know that our unique homes can have older plumbing that requires a gentle, expert touch. Because we know these local properties so well, we can quickly upgrade your drains and faucets to handle the fast-fill requirements.
Once the new heavy-duty acrylic shell is securely in place, we perform rigorous leak testing to guarantee a perfect seal. After that, we clean up our workspace so thoroughly that you will not even know we were there, except for your gorgeous new bathroom fixture. This attention to detail is why your neighbors trust us to get the job done right the very first time.
Choosing this type of home improvement is not just about safety, because it also brings a touch of luxury to your life. For instance, you can opt for heated backrests that keep your upper body warm while the basin fills up with soothing water. Which means you can say goodbye to those chilly winter mornings when taking a bath feels like a chore.
Furthermore, many models offer soothing air and water jets that gently massage tired muscles and stiff joints. If you suffer from arthritis or poor circulation, these targeted streams of warm water can provide incredible relief right in your own home. You can essentially have a private physical therapy session whenever you want, without leaving your house.
To make things even better, these units are crafted from premium non-porous acrylic that naturally resists mold, mildew, and grime. This benefit makes cleaning incredibly easy, so you do not have to spend your weekend scrubbing tiles on your hands and knees. A quick wipe down with a soft cloth keeps your bathing space looking sparkling clean and brand new.
Now, you might be thinking about the cost of making this essential change to your living space. We believe in complete transparency, which is why we offer a 100% free, no-obligation home assessment to evaluate your bathroom layout. Our friendly technician will sit down with you, measure your space, and provide an accurate quote with zero hidden fees.

Let us help you rediscover the simple, worry-free joy of a relaxing warm bath in Mission Canyon, California.
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 Mission Canyon.
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.
