The Royalton crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Morrison 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.
Are you tired of feeling scared every single time you step over that high tub wall? Honestly, slipping on wet tile is no joke for anyone in town. Getting a splash zone modern makeover with a low step entryway makes bathing completely stress free again.
Let us face the truth right now. Standard porcelain tubs turn into ice skating rinks once you mix in warm water and soap foam. Naturally, that high ledge feels like climbing Mount Everest when your knees hurt on cold winter mornings. By swapping that old beast for an accessible soaking sanctuary with an airtight side portal, you instantly regain total independence. You just open the lightweight door, take a small step inside, and sit down on a built-in heated seat.
Actually, thousands of folks living around the Central Minnesota region deal with mobility issues or just want a safer setup. When you consider the average local family budget in Morrison County, making a smart home upgrade adds massive value to your house. You will not have to worry about sudden falls anymore. Instead, you get to sit back, press a button, and enjoy warm relaxing bubbles hitting your sore lower back.
Besides that, modern low threshold bathing units come packed with high tech features like quick drain pumps and microbubble hydrotherapy. So you are not stuck sitting there shivering for twenty minutes while the dirty water slowly creeps down the drain. Plus, the outer seals come with lifetime leak guarantees... so your subfloor stays completely dry forever.
| Standard Fixture Setup | Upgraded Accessible Unit |
|---|---|
| High twenty inch wall to step over | Ultra low three inch threshold entry door |
| Slippery flat floor surface | Textured slip resistant floor base |
| No built-in seating available | Comfortable ADA height contoured bench |
| Basic tap water fill valves | Hydrotherapy jets and fast drain technology |
You might be thinking that tearing out a heavy cast iron fixture creates a massive mess for weeks. Honestly, our experienced local setup crew handles the whole demolition and placement process in just a couple of days. First, we take exact measurements of your existing layout so the new acrylic shell slides right into the exact same footprint. That means we do not have to rip out all your electrical wiring or completely reconfigure your pipe networks.
After we yank out the old basin, we inspect the floor joists to fix any hidden water damage or rot. Next, our crew runs updated high flow plumbing lines so your new spa unit fills up quickly. Then, we level the heavy duty stainless steel frame to keep everything rock solid. Finally, we install thick surround panels that lock out moisture and look absolutely stunning.
Furthermore, we take extreme pride in keeping your home spotless while we complete the installation project. We lay down heavy duty floor covers from your front door all the way to the master suite. Honestly, our guys work super clean because we treat your property just like our own grandma lives there.
Deciding on the perfect tall soaking enclosure comes down to how you like to relax. For instance, some folks want basic water jets to rub their tired calf muscles after spending all day on their feet. Other people prefer soothing air jets that create a soft champagne fizz to ease arthritis pain. You can even add internal aromatherapy setups that fill the room with relaxing lavender scents.
On top of that, heated backrests are an absolute game changer during those freezing zero degree nights up here. You just turn the panel on while the warm water fills up, keeping your top half completely cozy. Heated seats make a huge difference in how much you enjoy your evening soak.
First off, strong grab bars placed right where you need them make standing up completely effortless. Integrated hand rails give your muscles full leverage so you never lose balance on slick surfaces.
Additionally, handheld shower wands let you rinse your hair without splashing water all over your clean bathroom walls. You stay fully in control of the water spray while sitting down securely.
Thankfully, high quality acrylic surfaces resist nasty soap scum buildup and stubborn black mold naturally. A quick wipe down with a mild spray keeps the bright white finish shining like brand new.
Even better, inline ozone systems purge the internal jet pipes automatically after every single use. That means zero gross black flakes floating around in your clean bath water ever again.
Now, buying a big ticket item from some huge nationwide chain often leads to massive delays and sloppy subcontractor work. Working with a dedicated neighborhood installer means you get real accountability from start to finish. We know local building codes like the back of our hand, so every permit gets filed correctly.
In addition, our local team lives right here near zip code 56373, so we show up on time every single morning. We know the local water pressure quirks and how hard well water impacts standard plumbing hardware. That local experience lets us pick heavy duty fixtures built to survive tough mineral deposits.
Similarly, our crew brings every single sample right to your living room table so you can see materials in person. You get to touch the heavy duty acrylic and check out door latch mechanisms yourself.
Look, investing in your home should always feel like a smart financial move rather than a stressful gamble. Upgrading your master bath creates major appeal for future buyers who want to age gracefully in place. While median household income figures hover around $52,708 in our neck of the woods, spending money on safety saves massive medical bills later.
Actually, staying in the home you love for another decade is way cheaper than moving to a pricey assisted living facility. You keep your freedom, keep your memories, and stay put in your favorite neighborhood near the Mississippi River. That peace of mind alone is worth every single penny spent on the renovation project.
Basically, taking action now stops a scary bathroom slip before it ever happens to you or your spouse. You do not have to live with that old, unsafe setup for another single day. Calling our friendly staff lets you ask all your tough technical questions without feeling any pressure to buy right away.
Remember, our team comes directly to your house to inspect your current space and measure your doorways. We lay out every single option clearly, write down an accurate pricing sheet, and let you decide on your own schedule. Zero pushy sales pitches, zero hidden fees, and absolute honesty throughout the entire consultation process.
So why wait around while your knees hurt every time you take a shower? Reach out to our local team today to lock in your non-binding layout evaluation. We will get your home upgraded with maximum luxury and total safety so you can enjoy bathing once again.
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 Royalton.
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.
