One number reaches the people who fit the tubs. Say what the bathroom is like and we take it from there.

These specialized deep-soaking systems require precise plumbing alignments to ensure they drain quickly and never leak.
Because they hold much more water than a standard basin, your floor joists might need a quick inspection first.
Our professional installers handle all these structural details so you do not have to worry about a thing.
Most of these premium units come equipped with therapeutic water jets and heated seating surfaces.
This lets you soothe sore muscles while sitting upright in a highly stable position.
On top of that, we install heavy-duty grab bars right into the wall studs for maximum stability.
Choosing the right size for your space is the most critical step of the entire process.
Since every bathroom layout differs, we take exact measurements to prevent any ugly drywall gaps.
This attention to detail ensures your new setup looks like it was always meant to be there.
| System Feature | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low entry threshold | Eliminates the risk of tripping while entering the tub |
| Fast-drain technology | Lets you exit the basin quickly without chilling your body |
| Contoured built-in seating | Provides comfortable, upright support for your back and neck |
| Watertight door seals | Guarantees a dry bathroom floor and prevents water damage |
Our process begins with the careful removal of your existing cast-iron or acrylic alcove tub.
This step can get a bit dusty, but we protect your floors with heavy canvas drop cloths.
Which means your home stays clean and tidy from the moment we arrive until we pack up.
Next, we inspect the underlying subfloor and update the drain pipes to accommodate the new rapid-drain system.
Since these units require specialized plumbing fixtures, we often run new hot and cold water lines.
This prevents low pressure issues so your deep basin fills up in just a few minutes.
Once the unit is securely bolted and sealed, we perform a rigorous water test to check every single joint.
We never leave a job site until we are completely certain that your new system is flawless.
After that, we walk you through every feature so you feel confident using it on day one.
Working with a nearby contractor means you get fast service and personal accountability if you ever need help.

This local familiarity allows us to anticipate plumbing quirks before we even turn a wrench.
We take pride in serving our neighbors in this quiet pocket of Minnesota, where the population sits around 304 residents.

Whether you live near the local church or out on the county roads in ZIP code 56356, we come directly to you.
Our service vehicle comes fully stocked with all the necessary tools to finish the job without unnecessary delays.
This level of readiness saves you time and keeps your daily routine running smoothly.
You can choose between an inward-swinging door or an outward-swinging door depending on your mobility needs.
Inward doors use water pressure to stay sealed, while outward doors offer much easier access for wheelchair transfers.
We help you weigh these options to find the best match for your physical requirements.
The height of the internal seat also plays a major role in how relaxed you feel during your bath.
A taller seat makes standing up effortless, which is ideal if you struggle with knee or hip stiffness.
We customize these seating options so you can experience the ultimate level of cozy relaxation.
Amateur installations often lead to hidden moisture leaks behind the drywall, which can trigger costly mold growth.
Our team uses advanced silicone sealants and heavy-duty backing boards to create an impenetrable water barrier.
This protects the structural integrity of your home for decades to come.

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 New Munich.
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.
