Slipping on wet tiles is scary. Because of this, staying safe while you bathe becomes a huge priority as the years roll by. Fortunately, we have a great way to help you keep your independence without any of that daily worry.
Imagine stepping over a tiny barrier instead of climbing into a deep, slippery basin. By making this simple change, you can enjoy your warm baths without needing someone to help you balance. Our team comes right to your house to measure your space and give you an estimate on this life-changing upgrade.
First, let us look at what makes these special deep-soak units with a sealed door so incredible for your home. Unlike a standard basin, these specialized systems have high walls and a heavy-duty door built right into the side. Because of this clever design, you simply open the hatch, step inside with ease, and close it tight before filling it up with warm water.
Additionally, you get to sit down on a molded, raised bench instead of sliding all the way down to the cold floor. This means your knees and back do not have to struggle when it is time to stand back up. On top of that, built-in grab bars and textured floors give you extra points of contact so you never lose your footing.
To help you visualize how these systems compare to what you probably have right now, we put together a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Our Safe Entry System |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Around 14 to 18 inches | Usually under 4 inches |
| Seating Area | None (must sit on floor) | Built-in raised bench |
| Slip Protection | Slippery porcelain | Non-slip textured floor |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow drain | Fast-pump drainage technology |
Now, you might wonder if your current water heater can handle a deeper setup. That is a very smart question, because these deeper vessels do hold more gallons than a shallow tub. However, we check your entire plumbing setup during our visit to make sure your hot water supply is up to the task.
Consequently, you will not have to worry about shivering while you wait for the water to rise. Our fast-filling faucets get the warm water flowing quickly so you stay cozy. Meanwhile, the specialized seal on the door ensures not a single drop of water leaks onto your bathroom floor.
Besides that, our heavy-duty units are incredibly easy to clean. Since they are crafted from premium acrylic or fiberglass gelcoat, mold and grime have a really hard time sticking to the surface. This means you spend less time scrubbing on your hands and knees and more time relaxing.
Perhaps you have seen DIY videos online and thought about doing this yourself. Honestly, installing one of these heavy systems is a massive job that requires expert plumbing and carpentry skills. Because the unit must be perfectly level to prevent leaks, even a tiny mistake can ruin your subfloor.
By letting our seasoned crew handle the job, you protect your home from water damage. We take care of everything, from hauling away your old heavy fixture to hooking up the new speed-drain technology. This lets you sit back and relax while we transform your space in just a couple of days.
Living in a quiet place like Luzerne County means you value your peace, quiet, and beautiful surroundings. Since we serve the lovely area of Sheatown, Pennsylvania, we understand the specific layout of the homes here. With a local population of around 840 people, we treat every single customer like a neighbor because you actually are one.
Since the median household income in this zip code area sits around $41,250, we know how important it is to get real value for your hard-earned money. We do not believe in pushy sales tactics or hidden fees when we come out to your house. Instead, we offer clear, honest pricing so you can plan your home upgrade with confidence.
Naturally, you want to know what to expect when you contact us for a free estimate. First, we schedule a convenient time to drop by and look at your current bathroom layout. During this quick visit, we measure your doorway, check your plumbing lines, and discuss your physical needs.
After that, we show you the different models and door configurations that fit your specific space. Whether you prefer a outward-swinging door or a compact inward-swinging door, we find the perfect match. Finally, we hand you a detailed, no-obligation quote that lays out all the costs clearly.
This means you can discuss the plan with your family without any pressure from us. If you decide to move forward, we schedule the work at a time that fits your busy life. We always clean up our mess completely, leaving your home spotless and ready for your first relaxing soak.
Usually, our team can complete the entire swap in just one to two days. Because we prepare all the plumbing connections beforehand, we minimize the time your water has to be turned off. This means your daily routine is barely disrupted at all.
Absolutely, because these modern units are designed to fit into the exact same footprint as a standard sixty-inch alcove. Even if your bathroom is on the smaller side, we have compact models that maximize your interior soaking space.
This clever feature uses a powerful, sealed pump to suck the water out of the basin in under two minutes. Because you cannot open the door until the water is gone, this speedy drain ensures you do not sit around cold and wet waiting to exit.
Why keep worrying about slipping and falling every time you want to clean up? By choosing to upgrade your bathroom today, you invest in your long-term independence and safety. Our beautiful, secure setups offer the ultimate sanctuary where you can wash away the aches of the day without fear.
Simply reach out to us today to request your home consultation. We will answer all your questions, measure your space, and help you find a solution that fits your budget perfectly. Let us help you make your bathroom the safest room in your house!
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 Sheatown.
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.
