Getting in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain when your joints start acting up.
This is why upgrading to a secure, low-step bathing unit makes perfect sense for your home.
Fortunately, our team of dedicated local installers is ready to help you regain your independence with a free home assessment.
Imagine never having to worry about slipping on wet porcelain again.
That peace of mind is exactly what our specialized sealed-door pool units bring to your daily routine.
If you live in the beautiful Valdez-Cordova Census Area, we can visit your property to measure your space and discuss your options without charging you a single dime for the consultation.
Our local weather brings freezing temperatures that can make bones ache and muscles feel incredibly stiff.
Because of this harsh climate, soaking in warm water becomes more than just a simple luxury for relaxation.
It actually becomes a necessary daily therapy to keep your body moving freely and comfortably during the coldest months of the year.
Standard tubs require you to balance on one foot while lifting your other leg over a dangerously high barrier.
This awkward movement is a recipe for disaster on slick bathroom floors.
By choosing a specialized cabin with an integrated leak-proof swing door, you eliminate that high-stepping hazard entirely.
Our professional crew specializes in retrofitting these accessible chambers directly into your existing bathroom layout.
This means you do not have to undergo a massive, stressful home remodel just to stay safe.
We handle all the heavy lifting and precise plumbing adjustments so you can focus on enjoying your new sanctuary.
Every unit we install comes packed with smart design choices that prioritize your personal security and physical ease.
These are not your average plastic basins from a big-box store.
To help you understand the incredible value of these upgrades, we have laid out the main components below.
| Safety Feature | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low entry threshold | Prevents trips and falls by allowing you to simply step inside naturally. |
| Contoured built-in seating | Allows you to sit down comfortably at chair height while you bathe. |
| Strategic grab bars | Provides sturdy handholds so you always keep your balance. |
| Fast-drain technology | Empties the water rapidly so you do not sit shivering while waiting to exit. |
Now, let us talk about the absolute joy of those built-in therapeutic water jets.
These warm streams massage your lower back and legs to help soothe chronic aches.
Which means you will sleep much better at night after a relaxing evening soak.
On top of that, the heavy-duty door seals are guaranteed to keep every drop of water inside the basin.
You will never have to mop up dangerous puddles from your bathroom floor after you finish bathing.
This simple benefit alone saves your subfloors from rot and protects you from dangerous slips after your bath.
You might be wondering how we actually get one of these large, sturdy units into your home.
First, our friendly technicians arrive at your residence to inspect your current plumbing lines and door widths.
This step is crucial because we want to make sure your water heater can handle the capacity of your new system.
Next, we carefully extract your old, outdated tub without damaging your walls or surrounding fixtures.
This requires a lot of patience and specialized tools that our team uses daily.
We always treat your home with the utmost respect, cleaning up every bit of debris before we leave.
Finally, we secure the new accessible chamber, connect the drain lines, and seal everything tight.
We do not believe in rushing these critical steps because a perfect seal prevents mold growth down the road.
Once we finish, we walk you through how to operate all the controls so you feel completely confident.
Everyone has different physical needs and aesthetic preferences for their personal washroom.
Which is why we offer a wide variety of sizes, door styles, and jet configurations to choose from.
We can even install heated seating areas to keep you warm while the basin fills up with water.
Additionally, you can choose between inward-swinging doors and outward-swinging doors depending on your bathroom layout.
Outward doors are fantastic for wheelchair transfers because they clear out of your way completely.
Inward doors, however, are perfect for tighter spaces where every square inch of floor counts.

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 Nelchina.
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.
