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.
Getting in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your joints ache or balance becomes a daily struggle.
That is why upgrading to a secure, low-step bathing system changes your life by restoring your independence immediately.
Our local team visits your home to assess your space and provides an estimate to make this vital upgrade happen.
You do not have to risk slipping on wet tiles anymore.
This smart home improvement keeps you safe while adding a touch of luxury to your daily routine.
We specialize in transforming outdated bathrooms into secure havens where you can soak away your stress without any fear of falling.
Making this change is much easier than you think.
Our crew handles everything from pulling out the old cast iron basin to sealing the brand-new leak-proof door.
You get a beautiful, functional setup that lets you age in place with total dignity.
When you decide to replace your high-walled basin, a factory-trained technician must evaluate your current plumbing.
This ensures that your hot water heater can handle the larger volume of water needed for a deep soak.
On top of that, we check your floor joists to guarantee they can support the weight of a fully loaded unit.
Many homeowners worry about how long it takes to drain the water before they can open the door and step out.
To solve this issue, we install fast-drain technology that empties the entire basin in under eighty seconds.
Which means you will not sit shivering while waiting for the water to clear out of the basin.
Our premium units feature built-in heated seating and backrests to keep you warm during the quick draining process.
This lets you enjoy a spa-like environment right in your own home without any drafty discomfort.
We customize every single project to fit the unique layout of your existing bathroom perfectly.

| Contoured Built-In Seating | Allows you to bathe from a comfortable, secure upright position. |

Living in Luzerne County means dealing with cold, damp winters that make arthritis and joint stiffness much worse.
Our neighbors in this historic borough of 907 residents deserve a safe way to warm up their bones without risking a trip to the emergency room.
We understand the specific layouts of the older homes in this cozy Pennsylvania community where the median household income sits around $43,393.
Many classic houses around the 18704 area code have tight doorways and plaster walls that require extra care during demolition.
Because of this, we take precise measurements during your in-home consultation to avoid any surprise structural issues.
Our experienced team treats your property with the utmost respect, cleaning up every speck of dust before we leave.
Working with a local contractor means you get personalized service from people who actually live in your corner of the state.
We do not believe in high-pressure sales tactics or rush jobs that leave you with leaky pipes.
Instead, we focus on solid craftsmanship that stands the test of time so you can bathe with absolute peace of mind.
First, we carefully protect your hallway floors and vanity mirrors before removing your old, outdated tub.
This demolition phase takes a lot of muscle, but we handle all the heavy lifting and disposal fees for you.
Next, our licensed plumbers reposition your drains and install brand-new, heavy-duty brass fixtures.
After the plumbing is verified, we slide the new acrylic shell into place and level it using adjustable steel support frames.
We then secure the unit to your wall studs to prevent any shifting or flexing when the basin is full.
Finally, we apply high-grade silicone caulking and install safety grab bars exactly where you need them most.
You can choose from a wide variety of wall surrounds and custom tile patterns to match your existing decor.
This allows you to create a beautiful, seamless look that elevates the entire aesthetic of your home.
We offer various grab bar finishes and handheld shower wand options to match your personal style.
If you prefer a deep tissue massage, we can install air jets that gently release tension throughout your lower back and calves.
These customizable features turn a simple safety upgrade into a luxurious daily retreat that you will look forward to using.
We help you select the perfect combination of accessories during your design consultation.
While these specialized bathing systems offer incredible safety benefits, we believe in keeping things completely honest with our clients.
One drawback is that you must sit inside the unit while it fills up and while it drains out.
However, our fast-fill faucets and rapid-drain valves minimize this wait time significantly so you stay warm.
Another factor to consider is the initial investment, which is higher than a basic fiberglass tub replacement.
But when you compare this cost to the price of assisted living facilities, upgrading your home is incredibly cost-effective.
Investing in your safety today prevents devastating falls that could rob you of your independence permanently.
This means you do not have to compromise on your safety or delay this important home improvement project.
Our team guides you through the options to find a solution that works best for your wallet.
Waiting for an accident to happen before making your bathroom safe is a recipe for regret.
Our friendly team is ready to visit your home, measure your space, and give you a detailed price estimate.
This lets you make an informed decision without any financial pressure or obligation.
You deserve to feel confident and secure in your own home every single day.

Let us help you transform your bathroom into a beautiful sanctuary of safety and deep relaxation...
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 Pringle.
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.
