The Normandy Park crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over King 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.
You probably want to keep your independence at home forever. This is why making your bathroom safer matters so much right now. Our dedicated team of local professionals comes straight to your house to measure your space and give you an estimate.
If you find yourself worrying about slippery bathroom floors, you are definitely not alone. Many homeowners in our beautiful corner of King County share this exact concern. We specialize in transforming standard bathrooms into secure havens where you can wash without any fear of falling.
By choosing to modify your bathing area, you protect your joints and your peace of mind. Our friendly crew handles everything from start to finish. We make sure the transition is smooth so you can enjoy your home for many years to come.
First of all, you might wonder how we actually fit a high-walled, leak-proof door basin into your existing layout. Our skilled technicians start by carefully removing your old, hazardous basin. We take great care not to damage your surrounding walls or plumbing during this demo phase.
After that, we assess your current pipes to ensure everything matches up perfectly. Sometimes older homes need a little bit of pipe adjustment. This ensures your new system drains fast so you do not sit there shivering while waiting for the water to empty.
Next, we slide the new heavy-duty unit into place and level it precisely. This step is incredibly important because a level unit prevents any future leaks. We seal every single edge with industrial-grade silicone to keep your subfloor completely dry and safe from mold.
Finally, we connect the custom faucet set and the hand-held shower wand. You get to test everything with our installer right there to make sure you know how every button works. We never leave a job site until you feel totally confident using your new setup.
When you install a step-in bathing system, you instantly eliminate the need to climb over a high porcelain barrier. This simple change reduces the risk of slips and falls by a massive percentage. You can just open the secure door, take a tiny step inside, and sit down on a raised, molded seat.
On top of that, these units come equipped with built-in grab bars. These sturdy bars give you something solid to hold onto when you stand up or sit down. You do not have to rely on flimsy towel racks that could easily pull out of the drywall.
To help you compare your options, we put together a simple table of features:
| Feature | Standard Basin | Our Secure Step-In System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Usually ultra-low 3 to 6 inches |
| Seating | None (must sit on the floor) | Contoured, comfortable ADA seat |
| Safety Bars | Must be bought and installed separately | Fully integrated into the unit frame |
| Drain Time | Slow standard gravity drain | Powered fast-drain technology options |
This layout shows how much safer your daily routine becomes with the right upgrade. You deserve to feel relaxed during your personal time. Our custom installations bring back that sense of serenity you might have lost.
Once you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to visit your home. Our local estimator arrives promptly to look at your current bathroom setup. We do not use high-pressure sales tactics because we believe in honest, neighborly service.
During this visit, we measure your doorway widths and your current plumbing layout. This helps us determine the exact size unit that will fit through your halls. We want to avoid any surprises on the actual installation day.
Then, we sit down at your kitchen table to discuss your specific physical needs. We talk about door hinge placement, seat heights, and where you want your grab bars located. This personalized approach ensures the final product fits your body perfectly.
Before we leave, we hand you a detailed, written price quote that remains valid for thirty days. This gives you plenty of time to talk it over with your family. We want you to make an informed decision without feeling rushed.

Our beautiful community has a high median household income of $94,693, which means local homeowners value high-quality craftsmanship. We take immense pride in delivering top-tier work that matches the high standards of our neighborhood.
Because we operate locally within the 98166 ZIP code and surrounding areas, we can get to your home quickly. You do not have to wait weeks for a corporate office in another state to approve your project. We handle all the permits and paperwork required by King County ourselves.
Our deep connection to the area means we treat you like family. We know the local water pressure issues and the typical plumbing quirks of homes built in different eras here. This local knowledge saves you time and prevents costly installation mistakes.
Naturally, many folks ask us how long the entire process takes from start to finish. In most cases, our experienced team can complete the removal and setup in just one or two days. We work efficiently to minimize the disruption to your daily life.
Another common question involves the cost of these specialized home modifications. While these units represent a significant investment, they are far cheaper than moving into an assisted living facility. They also add great value to your home for future buyers who prioritize accessibility.
You might also wonder if your water heater can handle the capacity of a larger basin. We evaluate your current water heater during our visit to ensure you will have plenty of warm water. If needed, we can suggest simple upgrades to keep your baths nice and warm.

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 Normandy Park.
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.
