(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 older or dealing with limited mobility can make your daily bathroom routine feel like a risky chore.
Stepping over a high barrier just to wash up often leads to slips, falls, and unnecessary stress.
Thankfully, our dedicated crew installs specialized low-threshold deep soaking enclosures that keep you independent in your own home.
If you live in Deschutes County, you already know how valuable peace of mind is during those chilly winters.
By choosing a modified bathing system with a secure swinging door, you remove the fear of slipping on wet tile.
Our local team visits your house to assess your layout and provides a detailed free estimate for the entire upgrade.
Naturally, making this change is a big decision that requires some real planning.
We focus on personal safety by adding watertight seals, built-in seating, and fast-draining systems to your setup.
This means you can relax and enjoy warm, therapeutic water without worrying about how you will get back out.
Standard tubs require you to balance on one foot while lifting the other over a high ledge.
This awkward movement is the main cause of household injuries for seniors and individuals with physical challenges.
Installing a modern, accessible enclosure with a leak-proof side door solves this issue by letting you walk straight inside.
Our custom setups come with sturdy grab bars that give you extra leverage when sitting down or standing up.
On top of that, we include slip-resistant flooring to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground.
You will immediately feel more confident knowing that you do not need to rely on anyone else for basic hygiene.
Consider the immense relief of having a secure, warm seat waiting for you inside your new system.
This elevated bench reduces the strain on your knees and hips quite significantly.
As a result, you can bathe with dignity while enjoying a spa-like environment in your private sanctuary.
Many homeowners worry that modifying their bathroom will turn into a messy, weeks-long construction nightmare.
Actually, our skilled crew handles everything quickly, often replacing your old basin in just a couple of days.
We take precise measurements of your existing space to ensure the new leak-proof unit fits perfectly into the alcove.
First, we carefully remove your outdated fixture without damaging the surrounding walls or floor joists.
After that, we inspect the underlying plumbing to make sure your drain lines and faucet hookups are in top shape.
This extra step prevents future leaks and ensures your investment operates flawlessly for decades to come.
Next, we bring in the new accessible unit and connect the specialized fast-drain technology.
Having this rapid drainage feature means you will not have to sit shivering while waiting for the water to empty.
Once we finish the hookups, we run a complete test to verify that the pressure-sealed door is absolutely watertight.
Not every bathing system is built the same way, which is why we offer various configurations.
For instance, you can choose doors that swing inward to save space or outward to allow easier wheelchair transfers.
This level of customization ensures your new setup matches your physical requirements perfectly.
To help you compare the main options, we compiled a quick guide to these specialized enclosures:
| Feature | Primary Benefit for You | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
| Inward-Swinging Door | Saves bathroom floor space | Smaller, compact bathrooms |
| Outward-Swinging Door | Easiest entry and exit path | Users with wheelchair transfers |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Soothes sore muscles and joints | Chronic pain relief |
| Fast-Drain Technology | Minimizes waiting time after bathing | Maximum warmth and convenience |
Beyond the door style, you might want to add heated seating or soothing air jets to your system.
These luxury upgrades turn a simple wash into a deeply relaxing therapeutic session that relieves stiff muscles.
We will explain all these details when we visit your home to draft your customized, no-obligation project proposal.

Yes, most of these accessible systems are designed to fit into the exact footprint of a standard five-foot tub. This clever design means we rarely have to tear down walls or completely redesign your entire room layout. We simply slide the new unit into place, connect the plumbing, and seal the edges for a clean look.
The doors utilize a heavy-duty silicone seal that is pressed tight by a locking door latch mechanism. As the basin fills with water, the natural water pressure actually helps push the seal tighter against the frame. This dual-action sealing system guarantees that your bathroom floor stays dry and free from water damage.
Actually, these units are crafted from high-grade acrylic or gelcoat that naturally resists mold and mildew buildup. You only need to wipe down the surfaces with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to keep them shining like new. This easy maintenance routine saves you from painful scrubbing on your hands and knees.
Delaying this upgrade only increases the risk of an accidental slip in your current, unsafe bathing setup.

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 Pronghorn.
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.
