The Mud Bay crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Haines Borough. 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 we get older or deal with nagging joint pain.
Actually, many people in our small coastal corner of the world face this exact struggle every single day.
Our professional team specializes in installing accessible, low-barrier deep soaking units that keep you safe while letting you enjoy a warm bath without any fear of slipping.
If you are worried about losing your independence at home, we have some fantastic news for you.
This smart upgrade eliminates the high step over a traditional tub wall, which reduces your risk of falling.
On top of that, you get to sit down on a raised, built-in bench while the water surrounds you.
You do not have to pack up and move to an assisted living facility just because your old bathroom is getting hard to navigate.
By choosing this modern home upgrade, you choose to stay in the place you love for many years to come.
We travel right to your house to look at your layout and give you a clear, honest breakdown of the project cost.
Every home has its own quirks, especially the beautiful properties up here in the Haines Borough area.
Because of this, we never offer a one-size-fits-all solution when we come out to do an assessment.
We take precise measurements of your existing bathroom footprint to ensure a seamless fit for your new low-step safety bath.
When we pull out your old standard tub, we inspect the subfloor underneath to make sure there is no hidden water damage or mold.
This careful step guarantees that your new heavy-duty unit rests on a solid, level foundation.
After that, our crew upgrades the plumbing lines so your new system drains quickly and fills up without any annoying leaks.
| Feature of the Unit | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low entry threshold | No more lifting your legs high, which prevents painful falls and slips. |
| Contoured built-in seating | You can sit comfortably at chair height instead of struggling to get up from the floor. |
| Fast-drain technology | You do not have to sit shivering in the cold while waiting for the water to empty. |
| Watertight door seal | Keeps all the water inside the unit, protecting your bathroom floor from puddles. |
Many homeowners worry that a major bathroom remodel will drag on for weeks and turn their house into a dusty disaster zone.
In reality, our experienced crew usually completes the swap in just a couple of days.
Which means you get your bathroom back quickly, fully cleaned up and ready for a relaxing soak.
Safety is the main goal here, but we also want you to feel pampered every time you step inside.
For instance, we can install soothing air jets or hydrotherapy nozzles that target your sore back and tired legs.
These warm water jets work wonders on arthritic joints after a long day of working outdoors in our rugged northern climate.
To make things even safer, we strategically place heavy-duty grab bars along the walls of the unit.
This gives you sturdy handholds to grab onto whenever you transition from standing to sitting.
Additionally, the slip-resistant floor texture gives your feet extra traction even when the surface is covered in soapy water.
We also make sure the handheld shower wand is easily reachable from your seated position.
This lets you wash your hair and rinse off without having to stand up or stretch awkwardly.
It is all about keeping you in total control of your bathing routine without needing help from a family member.
Living in a remote spot like Mud Bay, Alaska, which has a tiny population of about 137 residents, means you need contractors you can actually rely on.
Since we operate right here in this tight-knit region, we treat every customer like our neighbor.
You will not have to worry about out-of-town companies who do not understand the unique challenges of Alaskan homes.
While the census lists the median household income here as $0 due to seasonal work and unique local demographics, we know the value of a hard-earned dollar.
Because of this, we focus on providing high-quality, durable materials that will last for decades without needing constant repairs.
We serve everyone across the local ZIP codes of this beautiful peninsula with pride and dedication.
Our team arrives on time, respects your property, and answers every single question you have about the installation process.
We explain the differences between various models, door styles, and extra features without any high-pressure sales tactics.
You get honest advice from real people who care about your safety and well-being.
One of the biggest decisions you will make is choosing between an inward-swinging door or an outward-swinging door.
An inward door uses the natural pressure of the water to seal itself tight, which is incredibly reliable.
However, an outward door is much easier to exit in an emergency and works great for folks with limited mobility.
We will look at the layout of your bathroom to see which option gives you the most clearance.
Sometimes, a swing-out door is the only way to go if your bathroom is on the smaller side.
We make sure whatever we choose fits perfectly and does not block your toilet or vanity.
A larger tub holds more water than a standard shallow basin, which means your old water heater might need some attention.
We always check your current hot water capacity during our initial visit to make sure you can fill the tub completely.
If needed, we can recommend efficient solutions to boost your hot water supply so you never run out mid-soak.
Having a warm, steamy bath ready whenever you want is a simple joy that makes Alaskan winters much more bearable.
This investment is not just about home modification; it is about bringing back the simple pleasure of a hot bath.
We handle all the technical details so you can just focus on how good it will feel to relax.
There is absolutely no reason to keep risking your safety in an old, slippery bathtub that does not serve your needs anymore.
Taking action today prevents a nasty fall tomorrow, keeping you safe and independent in your beloved home.
Our friendly team is ready to drive out to your property, assess your bathroom, and provide a completely free, no-obligation quote.
We sit down with you to discuss your budget, your physical needs, and your aesthetic preferences to design the perfect setup.
You will get a detailed breakdown of the costs so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.

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 Mud Bay.
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.
