The Montrose crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Dane 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 a major obstacle course when mobility gets tough. If you are struggling to climb over that high ceramic barrier just to get clean, you are not alone in this fight. This is why our friendly team offers a complete setup of easy-access bathing systems designed to restore your independence and peace of mind immediately.
By choosing a low-threshold entryway, you practically eliminate the scary risk of slips and falls on slick tile surfaces. Our specialized crew comes directly to your home to evaluate your current setup and provide a detailed plan. This means you get a custom-tailored layout without any guesswork or stressful retail shopping trips.
To make things even easier for your household, we provide a home assessment and cost estimate. This friendly visit lets us measure your space and discuss the perfect configuration for your physical needs. You will discover how simple it is to transform your daily routine into a stress-free experience.
When you start researching these deeply recessed safety pools, the sheer number of features can feel a bit overwhelming. First, you have to look at how the sealed door swings, since some models open inward while others swing outward. Choosing the right door swing depends entirely on your bathroom size and how you move your body.
Next, you want to consider the built-in seating heights, which directly affect how easy it is to stand back up. If your knees or hips give you trouble, a higher, chair-height seat makes a world of difference. On top of that, these units often feature heated backrests to keep you warm while the basin drains out.
| Feature Type | Key Benefit to You | Who It Helps Most |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Step Threshold | Prevents tripping while entering | People with limited leg lift |
| Contoured Seating | Offers a secure place to sit | Anyone who tires quickly standing |
| Fast Drain Technology | Minimizes waiting in the cold | Chilled users ready to dry off |
Which brings us to the crucial aspect of water drainage speed, a detail many homeowners overlook until their first soak. Sitting naked in a cold breeze while waiting for gallons of water to slowly exit is zero fun. Because of this, we install high-speed drainage systems that empty the basin in under two minutes flat.
Now, let us talk about what actually happens when our local crew arrives at your property. Many people worry that their entire house will become a chaotic, dusty construction zone for several weeks. Fortunately, our seasoned crew works fast, often completing the entire swap in just one to two days.
First, we carefully extract your old, outdated tub without destroying your surrounding drywall or flooring. This delicate phase requires real muscle and patience, especially in older homes with tight hallways. We then inspect the subfloor to guarantee it can support the weight of your heavy new water basin.
After that, we upgrade your existing plumbing lines so the new heavy-duty valves align perfectly. This prevents future leaks behind your walls, which could otherwise cause expensive mold issues down the line. Finally, we slide the new unit into place, level it perfectly, and seal every single seam with waterproof silicone.
Living out in Dane County means dealing with a beautiful mix of historic farmhouses and cozy mid-century homes. Many properties around the Montrose area feature unique plumbing layouts that require a clever, customized touch. Our deep familiarity with local building styles ensures we never run into a problem we cannot solve.
Whether you reside in a house built in the early 1900s or a newer suburban build, floor structural integrity matters. A fully filled deep-soak safety basin weighs a lot more than a standard hollow fiberglass unit. We always assess your floor joists during our visit to ensure your home remains structurally sound.
This localized expertise is especially helpful because we know the exact water pressure challenges in our rural Wisconsin communities. If you rely on a private well system, we adjust our recommendations to match your specific water flow. This ensures your new basin fills up quickly without draining your well or dropping your pressure.
Beyond the watertight door itself, several small additions can drastically improve your daily physical security. For instance, strategically placed grab bars offer solid leverage points when you sit down or stand up. We anchor these bars directly into your wall studs so they will never pull loose under pressure.
Another brilliant feature to consider is slip-resistant textured flooring, which keeps your feet planted firmly even when soapy. This subtle texture adds a layer of friction without feeling rough or uncomfortable on your sensitive skin. You can scrub your feet without worrying about your balance failing you mid-shower.
Furthermore, we install anti-scald mixing valves to protect your skin from sudden, dangerous temperature spikes. This technology regulates the hot water blend, which is vital if your home has erratic water heater behavior. You can relax completely, knowing the water will never reach a dangerous, burning temperature.
You might see videos online of brave weekend warriors attempting to plumb these large units themselves. However, this job requires advanced electrical grounding, precise framing, and tricky heavy-lifting maneuvers. One tiny mistake with the door seal can ruin your floorboards and lead to thousands of dollars in water damage.
By hiring our dedicated crew, you protect your home investment with our comprehensive service guarantee. We carry the proper licensing and insurance, meaning you do not have to shoulder any of the risk. We do the heavy lifting, the dirty clean-up, and the complex pipe-fitting while you relax.
Additionally, our relationship with leading manufacturers means we secure high-grade units with excellent long-term warranties. If a seal ever fails or a jet stops humming, you know exactly who to call for a quick fix. We stand by our craftsmanship long after the initial setup is complete.
If you are ready to stop worrying about bathroom slips, scheduling a consultation is your logical next step. Our friendly local team loves helping neighbors regain their confidence and stay in the homes they love. We treat your property with the utmost respect, cleaning up every speck of dust before we head home.
Remember, we provide completely free, no-obligation estimates to help you plan your budget without any pushy sales pressure. We sit down at your kitchen table, explain the costs clearly, and help you choose the best layout. This transparent approach ensures you get exactly what you need without paying for unnecessary bells and whistles.
Simply reach out to us today, and we will find a convenient time to visit your home. You deserve to feel secure, relaxed, and independent in your own bathroom every single day. Let us handle the hard work so you can enjoy a peaceful, therapeutic soak in total peace of mind...
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 Montrose.
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.
