Getting in and out of a standard bathtub can feel like climbing a mountain as we get older or deal with nagging joint pain. Because of this daily struggle, many local homeowners are searching for a safer way to enjoy a warm soak without the constant fear of slipping. Fortunately, you can easily transform your existing bathroom into a secure haven where soaking in warm water becomes a relaxing, worry-free routine again.
Fortunately, our dedicated team specializing in these accessible bathing solutions helps you regain your independence right at home. Since we understand how important safety is, we come directly to your house to evaluate your current setup and provide a completely free estimate. This means you get honest, upfront advice without any pressure or hidden costs.
When you first look at these specialized, high-walled bathing units, you will notice they feature a leak-proof door built right into the side. This smart design allows you to step over a threshold that is only a few inches high instead of balancing on one foot over a dangerous porcelain ledge. Once you step inside, you simply close the secure latch, sit down on a built-in contoured seat, and fill the basin with warm water.
Because these units replace your traditional tub, they fit perfectly into the existing alcove space in your bathroom. This hassle-free swap minimizes the need for major demolition, which keeps your home cleaner during the renovation process. By choosing this upgrade, you protect your physical well-being while modernizing your home with a beautiful, functional fixture.
To help you understand how these units compare to standard options, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Standard Tub | Accessible Entry Tub |
|---|---|---|
| Threshold Height | 14 to 18 inches | 3 to 5 inches |
| Seating | Lying down on floor | Contoured chair-height seat |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Grab bars and slip-resistant floor |
Choosing to install a deep-soaking safety tub involves a few highly technical steps that require a skilled hand. First, our crew carefully removes your old, heavy fixture without damaging the surrounding drywall or flooring. This delicate demolition phase ensures your bathroom remains structurally sound and ready for the new addition.
Next, we inspect the underlying pipes to guarantee your water flow and drainage are up to par. Since these large vessels hold a significant volume of water, we often install high-speed drains that empty the basin in under two minutes. This rapid-drain technology ensures you do not sit shivering while waiting for the water to empty before opening the door.
On top of that, our experienced installers level the new unit perfectly and seal all the joints with commercial-grade silicone. This meticulous sealing process prevents any water from seeping behind your walls, which guards your home against mold and wood rot. Which means you can splash and soak with absolute peace of mind for many years to come.
Investing in your home safety is a major decision, especially when budgeting on a fixed income. In our beautiful mountain community, which is home to about 16,439 residents, many folks watch their expenses closely. With a local median household income of $40,780, we make sure our high-quality home modifications remain affordable and fair for everyone.
Whether you live in ZIP codes 37862, 37864, or 37876, we travel directly to your doorstep to discuss various pricing options that fit your budget. We believe safety should never be a luxury, so we offer transparent pricing on all our labor and high-quality materials. By working with us, you get top-tier craftsmanship without the big-city price tag.

Because we live and work in Sevier County, we treat you like our neighbor, ensuring you receive the personal care you deserve. We take pride in helping our community members stay safe in the homes they love.
Imagine enjoying a soothing, deep soak that relieves your arthritis pain without any anxiety about how you will get back up. Our hydrotherapy-ready tubs come equipped with strategically placed grab bars and non-slip textured floors to keep you stable at all times.

Another amazing benefit is the therapeutic relief provided by built-in air and water jets that target your sore muscles. This gentle massaging action stimulates blood circulation, which helps you sleep better at night and move easier during the day. This simple bathroom upgrade truly transforms your daily hygiene routine into a luxurious, spa-like escape.
Additionally, keeping your independence allows you to stay in your beloved home much longer instead of moving into an assisted living facility.

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 Sevierville.
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.
