The Porterdale crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Newton 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.
Every single day we take our balance for granted until a slippery bathroom floor reminds us how fragile our safety really is. If you or your loved ones feel a bit nervous during bath time, there is a simple way to bring back your peace of mind. By choosing to set up a specialized low-threshold soaking bath with a secure door, you can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips and falls.
Naturally, making this change will completely transform how you experience your daily hygiene routine. This smart upgrade lets you slide right onto a comfortable seat instead of lowering yourself down to a cold, distant floor. Because of this clever design, you can enjoy a deep, soothing soak without any of the physical strain that usually ruins the experience.
Fortunately, our dedicated local team comes right to your house to check out your space and give you a completely free estimate. This means you do not have to guess about the costs or wonder if your current plumbing can handle the upgrade. Since we believe in absolute honesty, we will walk you through every single step of the process so you can make the best choice for your household.
First of all, you might worry that your entire bathroom will be under construction for weeks on end. Actually, our experienced crew can usually swap out your old high-walled basin in just a day or two. This rapid turnaround keeps your life moving forward without the massive headache of a long, dusty remodeling project.
To start off, we carefully measure your existing layout to find the perfect fit for your new easy-access bathing unit. After we remove the old fixture, our team inspects the subfloor and the pipes to ensure everything is solid and dry. Next, we install the new unit, hook up the heavy-duty drains, and seal every single seam to prevent any future leaks.
| Project Stage | What We Do For You | Your Direct Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Home Assessment | We measure your space and check your plumbing during a friendly visit. | You get a clear, accurate plan with zero surprise costs later. |
| Old Tub Removal | Our crew carefully extracts your old, dangerous fixture. | You do not have to haul heavy trash or worry about disposal. |
| Professional Fitting | We secure the new leak-proof system and connect all lines. | You enjoy a dry, safe bathroom that lasts for decades. |
In addition to the basic setup, we also make sure the water drains out fast so you do not sit there shivering when you are done. We install special high-flow drains that empty the water in a fraction of the time compared to standard plugs. Which means you can open the secure door and step out onto your bath mat without waiting around in the cold.
If you look at the lovely historic homes around Newton County, you will notice that many older bathrooms were simply not built with accessibility in mind. This local reality means that many residents struggle with narrow doorframes and dangerously deep standard basins. By bringing our specialized services to this tight-knit community of 1,742 people, we help neighbors stay in the homes they love for years to come.
Indeed, maintaining your independence is priceless, especially when you want to avoid moving into an expensive assisted living facility. With a local median household income of $33,083, finding cost-effective ways to upgrade your current home is incredibly important. Investing in a secure-door therapeutic bath is a smart, budget-friendly way to prevent costly medical bills down the road.
Whether you live near the historic mills or closer to the quiet outskirts of the 30070 ZIP code, our trucks are always nearby. This local presence allows us to arrive promptly at your doorstep to deliver personalized service with a warm, friendly smile. Because we live and work in the same Georgia area, we treat your home with the exact same respect we show to our own families.
Besides the obvious safety perks, these modern units offer a level of relaxation that rival high-end spas. Many models come equipped with soothing air jets and water massagers that target your aching back and stiff joints. This targeted relief helps soothe arthritis pain and improves your blood circulation after a long, active day.
On top of that, you will love the built-in grab bars and the slip-resistant textured flooring that keep you stable at all times. These small details work together to create an environment where you never have to balance on one slippery foot again. Consequently, your confidence climbs, and bath time becomes a relaxing ritual rather than a stressful chore.
To make things even better, the thick acrylic walls of these units are incredibly easy to wipe down and keep clean. Since the material naturally resists mold and mildew, you will spend far less time scrubbing on your hands and knees. This low-maintenance design lets you spend your free time doing what you actually enjoy instead of chasing soap scum.
Before you make up your mind, you should know that these units come in several different sizes to fit various body types and spaces. Some models are designed to fit into tight alcoves, while others offer extra-wide seating for maximum physical relief. We will help you compare these options to find the perfect match for your daily routine.
Furthermore, we can install heated seating elements that keep your upper body warm while the basin fills up with water. This luxurious touch prevents that annoying chill that sometimes happens during the first few minutes of your bath. This simple addition turns a standard chore into a deeply warming experience that you will look forward to every single day.
Now, taking the first step might feel a bit overwhelming, but our team makes the entire journey as simple as possible. We do not use pushy sales tactics or rush you into making a decision before you are ready. Instead, we present the facts, answer your questions, and let you decide what works best for your budget.
When you are ready to explore the possibilities, just reach out to us for your home consultation. We will look at your current setup, discuss your physical needs, and hand you a written estimate that is easy to understand. Let us help you make your bathroom a place of ultimate relaxation, safety, and renewed independence today!
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 Porterdale.
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.
