The Palm Shores crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Brevard 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.
Now, bathing should feel good instead of stressful. However, traditional bathing setups often create serious risks for anyone dealing with mobility issues. This lets you regain your independence completely by swapping that dangerous high ledge for a side-opening aquatic sanctuary.
Eventually, slipping on wet porcelain ruins your day. On top of that, getting over a high bathtub wall hurts tired joints. Which means you need a smarter layout for your personal space.
Many homeowners worry about leaks ruining their subfloors. Fortunately, modern engineering uses heavy-duty silicone gaskets to lock water inside the basin tightly. This guarantees your bathroom stays completely dry after every single soak.
Additionally, internal pressure helps compress the rubber seal during fills. Meanwhile, smart drainage systems empty thousands of gallons in minutes. Which means you avoid waiting around shivering in a cold room.
Stepping over a massive wall invites disaster when your legs feel stiff. By contrast, these specialized fixtures feature doors that open practically flush with the tile. This lets you walk right in without lifting your feet high.
Furthermore, slip-resistant flooring textures grip your bare feet securely. Consequently, you never have to panic about losing your footing mid-wash. That translates to total peace of mind every time you clean up.
Every home requires careful measuring before any heavy remodeling begins. Because Brevard County features unique coastal humidity levels, your contractor must seal every joint properly. This protects your drywall from mold growth down the road.
Besides that, older plumbing lines sometimes need minor upgrades to handle faster water flow. Specifically, matching new fixtures to existing supply pipes prevents frustrating pressure drops. Which means your hydrotherapy jets always run at peak performance.
Major home improvements demand a clear budget. With a median household income hovering around sixty-five thousand dollars locally, residents appreciate smart investments. This specific upgrade actually boosts your property resale value tremendously.
Beyond that, staying out of assisted living facilities saves families a small fortune. Therefore, spending money on bathroom accessibility pays for itself over the years. That equals serious financial protection for your golden years.
Pricing varies based on tile work and electrical requirements. Fortunately, getting a clear picture costs you nothing upfront. You can request a FREE QUOTE today to see exact numbers for your specific floor plan.
Plus, transparent estimates prevent surprise bills halfway through construction. Meanwhile, our local team handles every permit required in ZIP codes across the area. Which means you avoid bureaucratic headaches entirely.
| Feature | Standard Bathtub | Accessible Soak Basin |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Height | Fifteen to twenty inches | Under three inches |
| Safety Options | Slippery bottom surface | Textured grip with grab bars |
| Therapeutic Perks | Just plain water | Air jets and heated seats |
Looking at this comparison makes the safety upgrade obvious. However, switching out old cast iron requires professional muscle. This lets you sit back while experienced hands tackle the messy demolition work.
Instead of guessing how to reroute drain pipes, let certified technicians handle the plumbing. Consequently, your new soaking station will function flawlessly from day one. That guarantees zero stress during your renovation journey.
Tight hallways often complicate bringing large acrylic shells into small bathrooms. Yet experienced installers know every trick for navigating narrow doorways smoothly. This ensures your walls and doorframes remain completely undamaged.
Furthermore, older electrical panels might need dedicated circuits for water-heating modules. Thankfully, licensed electricians wire everything safely according to local building codes. Which means your family stays protected against electrical hazards.
Living in Palm Shores brings a tight-knit community vibe where neighbors help neighbors. With a tiny population of just over one thousand people, local service matters deeply. This means you get personalized attention rather than corporate runaround.
Furthermore, supporting local contractors keeps your neighborhood thriving. Consequently, you receive prompt follow-up visits whenever you need minor adjustments. That builds lasting trust between you and your service provider.
Warm water mixed with massaging air jets melts away muscle tension instantly. By targeting sore lower backs and stiff knees, these basins act like personal spas. This lets you soothe chronic aches without leaving your house.
Additionally, built-in seat heaters keep your backside warm while the basin fills up. Meanwhile, ozone purification systems clean the plumbing lines automatically after every use. Which means maintenance stays simple and hassle-free for you.
Clear out all personal items like towels and toiletries before workers arrive. This gives the crew enough space to move heavy tools safely. Consequently, the entire swap finishes much faster than you might expect.
Next, cover adjacent bedroom floors with plastic sheeting to block construction dust. Meanwhile, turn off the main water valve to prevent accidental indoor flooding. Which means your entire house stays clean and dry throughout the project.
Waiting until a bad fall happens is a gamble you should never take. By upgrading your bathroom today, you take proactive control of your physical safety. This lets you maintain daily hygiene routines without needing outside help.
Moreover, modern designs look sleek and blend seamlessly with existing decor. Therefore, you do not have to sacrifice visual appeal for practical safety features. That gives you the best of both worlds under one roof.

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 Palm Shores.
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.
