The New Ulm crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Austin 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.
Getting in and out of a standard slippery basin can feel like a dangerous chore after a while. You probably want a way to keep your independence without worrying about a nasty fall on a wet tile floor.
Our team helps folks in 78950 make their daily washing routine much safer and more enjoyable. Installing a deep, side-entry soaking unit changes how you start your morning by removing that giant step you usually have to climb over.
Maybe you have noticed that your knees or hips just do not move the way they used to. That high wall on a traditional porcelain basin creates a real risk every single time you need to scrub up or soak your muscles.
Adding a low-entry door lets you walk right in without lifting your legs high. This simple change means you can keep enjoying a warm soak without having to call for help or fear losing your balance.
Since Austin County is a quiet place, you deserve to have a home that lets you stay put as long as you want. Staying in your own house is usually the main goal for most of our neighbors.
Getting rid of the old, clunky porcelain model sounds like a huge mess, but it does not have to be that way. We come out to your house, take all the measurements, and figure out the best fit for your specific space.
Once we pick the right model, our crew handles the plumbing adjustments and ensures everything is watertight. You get a brand new setup that fits your floor plan perfectly without leaving you with a construction site for weeks on end.
Think about the ease of just clicking a door shut and filling the basin while you sit on a built-in seat. You no longer have to stand on one leg while scrubbing, which keeps you steady and avoids those scary moments.
Every house in this small town of 650 people is a bit different, so we avoid those cookie-cutter solutions. We look at your current pipes and your floor layout to make sure the new unit works with what you already have.
When you choose a professional setup, you gain the benefit of precision work that prevents leaks behind your walls. A leaky pipe causes rot and expensive damage that you really do not want to deal with later on.
Using high-quality materials means your new unit stays looking nice for a long time. You get to keep your space feeling fresh while knowing the structure is solid and reliable for your daily use.
Investing in your living space is always a smart move, even if you do not plan on moving anytime soon. You make your daily life easier, and you also boost the potential appeal of your property for the future.
While the median household income in this area might vary, we always work to provide a fair price that fits your budget. We believe that everyone deserves a safe way to wash up without breaking the bank.
You might wonder how long the whole job takes from start to finish. Usually, we can get your old setup out and the new one running in a very short timeframe.
Is it going to mess up my walls or tile? We do our absolute best to keep the dust down and protect your surrounding fixtures during the removal process.
Do I need to buy special soaps or chemicals? Most units work perfectly fine with the products you already use, so you can keep your routine just the way you like it.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part, but we make it simple by offering an estimate at your home. You get to see exactly what we propose before you spend a single cent on the project.
We walk through the plan with you, answer your questions, and show you exactly how the unit operates. You get a clear picture of the cost and the timeline so there are no surprises when we arrive to work.

The doors on these units feature specialized seals that stay tight against water pressure. You never have to worry about the floor getting soaked while you enjoy your downtime.
Most units also come with quick-drain technology so you do not have to sit around for an hour waiting for the basin to empty. You get back to your day as soon as you finish your soak.
Features like built-in handrails and textured flooring provide extra stability. You keep your footing even when things get soapy, which gives you much more peace of mind.
| Feature | Primary Benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Low-entry door | Removes the need for dangerous high stepping | |
| Built-in seat | Prevents fatigue and keeps you steady | |
| Rapid drain system | Gets you out of the basin faster | |
| Non-slip flooring | Increases safety during your routine | |
| Watertight door seal | Keeps your bathroom floor bone dry |
Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your plumbing lines. We need to make sure the water pressure is correct and the drainage is clear.
If the pipes need a little love, we address that before putting the new unit in place. This ensures everything runs smoothly for years without needing extra repairs.
Once the pipes are set, we slide the unit in and secure it to the floor. We apply high-grade sealant to all the edges to ensure no water escapes into your subfloor.

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 Ulm.
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.
