The Port Saint John 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.
You can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet bathroom tiles every single day.
Getting into a standard bath gets tougher as the years roll by, which is why a specialized, leak-proof door-entry bathing basin changes everything.
Our local team of experienced installers helps folks regain their independence with top-tier setups that fit right into your existing layout.
Since your safety is our main goal, we focus on removing those high barriers that cause nasty falls.
This means you can slide right onto a raised, built-in seat without stepping over a scary two-foot ledge.
We come directly to your home to size up your space and give you a clear, honest assessment without charging you a single dime for the visit.
First, we need to look at how these specialized, high-walled bathing systems actually fit into a typical residential bathroom.
Many homeowners worry that their current plumbing cannot handle the quick-drain technology or the heavy-duty water capacity of these deep units.
Actually, our crew specializes in retrofitting older pipes so your new system empties out in under eighty seconds.
To give you a better idea of what to expect during the upgrade, we put together a quick comparison of standard setups versus these secure, accessible alternatives.
| Feature | Standard Bath Setup | Accessible Door-Entry System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low 2 to 5 inches |
| Seating | Floor level (requires bending) | Contoured, ADA-compliant raised seat |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow gravity drain | Powered fast-drain technology |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Integrated grab bars and textured floors |
Naturally, every house presents its own unique quirks, especially when dealing with older construction in our lovely coastal region.
This is why a custom layout assessment is so critical before you make any big decisions.
We measure your door frames, inspect your water heater capacity, and ensure your floor joists can handle the weight of a fully loaded deep-soaking system.
Imagine relaxing in a warm, deep bath without that nagging fear of how you will hoist yourself back up.
Because these units feature heavy-duty, watertight seals, you simply walk in, close the secure latch, and let the soothing water rise around you.
This brings immense relief to aching joints, sore muscles, and tired backs after a long day in the Florida sun.
On top of that, our installations often include therapeutic air jets and hydrotherapy nozzles that target your lower back and legs.
Which means you get a spa-like experience right in the sanctuary of your own home while staying completely safe.
You do not have to rely on family members or caretakers to help you clean up anymore, which restores your dignity and peace of mind.
If you plan on staying in your home for the long haul, this upgrade is a smart investment in your future.
Indeed, modifying your bathroom now prevents costly accidents that could force you into an assisted living facility way sooner than you want.
We love helping our neighbors stay in the homes they love, surrounded by their memories and friendly communities.
When we sit down to plan your project, we talk about all the extra bells and whistles that make life easier.
For instance, we can install heated backrests that keep you warm while the tub fills up with hot water.
This prevents you from getting chilled during those first few minutes when the basin is still filling.
Another crucial upgrade involves choosing high-quality, anti-scald mixing valves to protect your sensitive skin from sudden temperature spikes.
By controlling the heat precisely, you enjoy a worry-free soak every single time.
Our friendly crew explains all these options in plain English so you can make the best choice for your budget.
Most people dread having contractors in their house because of the mess, noise, and endless delays.
Fortunately, our team keeps things incredibly clean, using protective drop cloths to shield your floors from dirt and debris.
We usually wrap up the entire tear-out and hook-up process in just one to two days so your life gets back to normal quickly.
Once the new heavy-duty acrylic unit is securely in place, we run extensive tests to guarantee there are absolutely zero leaks.
After that, we walk you through how to operate the door latch, the jets, and the fast-drain system.
You will feel 100% confident and ready to enjoy your very first soak the moment we pack up our tools.

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 Port Saint John.
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.
