Every single year thousands of folks face serious slips in the bathroom because traditional high-walled basins are just too difficult to climb over safely.

By choosing this smart upgrade you can finally stop worrying about losing your balance while stepping into a slippery tub.
Our dedicated crew handles the entire setup process from start to finish so you do not have to stress about a single detail. We carefully measure your current layout and slide the new step-in unit right into place with absolute precision. This seamless transition means you get to keep your independence and enjoy a warm deep soak whenever you want.
Because safety is our primary focus we only use top-grade materials that stand the test of time.

If you live in the beautiful rolling hills of Fillmore County you already know how cold our winters can get. Imagine coming home from a chilly day and sliding into a deep basin of hot water that covers your shoulders. It is the ultimate way to relax your muscles and stay warm during those freezing Midwestern months.
When you invest in this home improvement you are not just buying a piece of acrylic or fiberglass. You are actually purchasing a ticket to long-term independence in the house you love so much. Many residents in the local 55965 ZIP code area prefer to age in place rather than moving to an assisted facility.
To help you understand why this upgrade is so popular we have put together a quick comparison of standard setups versus our specialized units.
| Feature | Standard Tub | Accessible Step-In Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Threshold Height | High step over (15-20 inches) | Very low step-in (under 5 inches) |
| Seating | Lie flat on the floor | Comfortable raised contoured seat |
| Safety Elements | None built-in | Integrated grab bars and textured floor |
| Drainage Speed | Slow standard drain | Powered fast-drain technology |
On top of these great safety features our units come loaded with therapeutic options that can soothe your tired joints. You can choose models equipped with heated water jets that massage your lower back and calves after a long day. This targeted hydrotherapy does wonders for arthritis pain and general stiffness that creeps up on us over time.
Another amazing benefit is the built-in heated seating system that keeps you warm while the basin fills up and drains out. Since you have to sit inside the unit while the water rises this heated feature ensures you never catch a chill. It is a luxurious touch that turns a daily chore into a spa-like escape right in your own home.
You might be wondering how we manage to fit such a large specialized unit into your existing bathroom space. Our highly trained technicians are master problem-solvers who know how to navigate tight hallways and small doors without scratching your walls. We treat your property with the utmost respect and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
First we start with a thorough assessment of your current plumbing lines to ensure everything can handle the new setup. Sometimes older homes require a bit of pipe reinforcement or a larger drain line to maximize water flow. We take care of all those technical details so your new system empties out in a flash.
Next we carefully extract your old cast iron or steel basin and dispose of it properly so you do not have to worry about heavy lifting. After preparing the subfloor we slide the new walk-in unit into place and level it perfectly. This precise leveling is crucial because it guarantees that the watertight door seal works flawlessly for decades to come.
Finally we hook up the fixtures and run a series of rigorous leak tests to ensure every single connection is bone dry. We want you to feel completely confident when you use your new system for the very first time. Our job is only done when you are fully satisfied with the beautiful results.
We believe that your bathroom should reflect your personal style while still providing maximum functionality. That is why we offer a wide variety of wall surrounds and trim kits to match your existing decor. You can select classic white acrylic or go for a modern faux-stone look that adds a touch of sophistication.
In addition to the visual style you can also customize the placement of your grab bars and handheld showerheads. This customization ensures that everything you need is within arm's reach regardless of your height or mobility level. We design the entire layout around your unique physical needs.
Many of our clients also opt for aromatherapy kits and chromotherapy lights that change the color of the water. These sensory additions help you unwind mentally after a stressful week. It is like having a private wellness retreat tucked away in your master bathroom.
Beyond the personal safety benefits this home upgrade can also increase the overall marketability of your property. Buyers today are actively looking for homes that feature accessible designs because they want to avoid remodeling later. It is a smart financial move that pays off in both convenience and future resale value.
Considering the median household income in Preston, Minnesota is around $48,816 we know that home improvements must be affordable and durable. We work hard to offer competitive pricing options that fit comfortably within your family budget. Our goal is to make these life-changing safety upgrades accessible to as many local families as possible.

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 Preston.
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.
