The Patoka crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Marion 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 deserve a space that keeps you steady while you wash up every single day. Getting into a standard high-sided basin can be a real pain if your knees are not what they used to be.
Installing a specialized bathing unit with a door helps you keep your independence while you scrub away the stress. You avoid those dangerous slips and falls that happen when you try to lift your legs over a slippery porcelain wall.
Living in Marion County means you likely value your home and want to stay put for as long as possible. With a median household income around $50,192 in the 62875 area, you understand that smart spending on your property pays off in the long run.
Adding this feature to your bathroom provides a massive boost to your daily routine by removing the physical barriers that stop you from enjoying a soak. You get the peace of mind knowing you can wash whenever you want without needing someone else to help you get inside the basin.
First, you reach out to get a custom assessment of your current bathroom layout to see what fits best. We come out to your house in Patoka to measure the space and check the plumbing lines.
Then, we remove your old, clunky hardware to make room for the new system that fits perfectly in the footprint. This setup means you do not have to worry about expensive tile work or major room renovations during the project.
| Feature | Benefit to You | |
|---|---|---|
| Low entry threshold | Prevents tripping hazards | |
| Built-in seat | Helps you sit down securely | |
| Quick drain technology | Less waiting to leave the basin | |
| Handheld shower head | Allows for targeted washing |
Many folks think these units are just for the elderly, but they actually provide a huge amount of comfort for anyone who wants a better experience. You gain a level of relaxation that standard tubs just cannot offer because you stay seated instead of sliding around on a hard surface.
On top of that, the built-in jets provide a gentle massage that works wonders on your tired back muscles after a long day of work. Because the water level covers your shoulders, you feel the warmth soak into your bones much better than when you are hunched over in a shower stall.
Sometimes people worry about the water taking forever to fill up or drain out, but our modern designs have solved that issue. We use high-flow plumbing hardware that lets you fill and empty the unit in a matter of minutes.
Besides that, we ensure the door seal is completely watertight so you never have to deal with a mess on your bathroom floor. You can trust that the mechanical parts are built to last for many years of daily use.
You might wonder if this kind of work is out of reach for your bank account. However, since we offer a free estimate on every single job, you will know exactly what to expect before you spend a single penny.
Having a clear price tag lets you plan your finances without any hidden surprises or mystery fees creeping up at the end. We believe in being honest about the cost of labor and materials so you feel good about the investment in your own housing.
With a population of 623 people, everyone knows everyone, and reputation is everything to a local worker like me. I take pride in every install because I know the person living in the house next door might be checking out my work.
Consequently, you get a higher standard of care than you would from a big company that does not care about our local scene. We treat your house with respect and make sure to leave the job site cleaner than we found it.
Some people assume their bathroom is too small for this kind of upgrade, but that is rarely the case. We have compact models that fit into the same space as a standard shower stall while still giving you that deep soaking depth.
Because we customize the layout, you keep your existing vanity and toilet exactly where they are. This approach saves you money and keeps the flow of your room intact while you gain a safer way to get clean.
We prefer high-quality acrylic because it stays warm to the touch and resists scratches better than cheaper plastic options. This material holds up well over time, meaning your bathroom will look sharp for many years to come.
Furthermore, the stainless steel frame underneath provides all the structural integrity you need for a firm and wobble-free experience. You can lean back with confidence knowing the whole unit is engineered to support your weight safely.
Safety relies on more than just a low door, which is why we add sturdy rails inside and outside the unit. These bars let you keep your balance while you transition from standing to sitting.
Additionally, the floor surface features a non-slip texture that stays grippy even when it is covered in soapy water. You never have to worry about your feet sliding out from under you while you are trying to reach for the soap or the towel.
You do not need to commit to anything today, but getting a professional opinion is a great first step. Simply reach out to schedule a time for us to swing by your place and look at your current bathroom setup.
We will talk through your needs, look at the available options, and give you a written estimate for the whole project. After that, you have all the facts you need to make the right decision for your home.
Once your new unit is installed, keeping it in top shape is actually pretty simple. You just need to rinse it out after each use to prevent soap scum from building up on the walls or jets.
Since we use durable seals, you rarely need to worry about leaks, but checking them once in a while is a smart habit to keep. Everything we install comes with straightforward instructions so you know exactly how to operate the door and the controls.
Most of us want to live in our own homes for as long as we can because that is where our memories are. By making these small but impactful changes, you extend the amount of time you can live independently without needing extra help.
Finally, think of this not just as a bathroom update but as a commitment to your future. You deserve a space that supports you, and we are here to make sure you get exactly that without any unnecessary stress.
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 Patoka.
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.
