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.
Every single day, simple tasks like stepping over a high barrier to wash yourself can feel like climbing a mountain.

Fortunately, you can easily transform your bathing area into a secure haven with a specialized low-threshold sealed bathing system.
This smart upgrade removes the fear of falling while letting you soak in deep, warm water again.
By replacing your old standard fixture, you gain an easy-access door that makes entering and exiting completely effortless.
Naturally, this means you can hold onto your independence for many years to come.
Our dedicated local team specializes in setting up these accessible units for homeowners who want to stay safe.
Because we believe in absolute transparency, we will gladly visit your house to give you an estimate on the work.
Actually, we love helping folks find the perfect fit for their layout without any pressure or stressful sales tactics.

Living in our lovely lakeside corner of the state means enjoying a relaxed, peaceful pace of life.
With a local population of around 1,638 residents, our close-knit community values safety, neighborly care, and high-quality homes.
In fact, many households with a median income of $68,906 are choosing to invest in their properties rather than moving away.
Since most of the houses around the 49115 ZIP code area feature traditional setups, retrofitting is highly popular.
By upgrading your washroom today, you ensure that your property remains fully functional for your golden years.
This clever choice saves you from the massive expense of assisted living facilities down the road.
If you live in this beautiful part of Michigan, you know how icy and cold our winters can get.
Having a deep, heated basin to warm up your bones after a snowy day is an absolute game-changer.
Plus, our quick setup process ensures you will not have to deal with weeks of messy construction.
First, you need to understand that these specialized units are not one-size-fits-all solutions.
Different layouts require distinct door configurations, such as outward-swinging gates for wheelchair transfers or inward-swinging options for tighter spaces.
Because of this, we carefully measure your current footprint to find the absolute best fit.
During our consultation, we will show you how modern hydrotherapy jets can soothe your tired joints and aching back.
This luxury addition turns a basic chore into a deeply relaxing experience that rival any fancy spa.
Additionally, fast-drain technology ensures you do not have to sit shivering while waiting for the water to empty.
Of course, we also look at your current water heater to make sure it can handle the larger volume.
Sometimes, a minor plumbing adjustment is necessary to guarantee you get endless piping-hot water for your soak.
We handle all of these technical details so you do not have to worry about a single thing.
Naturally, you might worry that remodeling your washroom will turn your home into a dusty, chaotic nightmare.
To prevent this, our seasoned crew takes extreme care to protect your floors and clean up every speck of debris.
We usually complete the entire swap in just one or two days, minimizing any disruption to your routine.
First, we carefully extract your old, slippery tub and inspect the underlying subfloor for any hidden water damage.
Next, we upgrade the plumbing pipes to match the new high-flow faucets and fast-draining systems perfectly.
Finally, we slide the new heavy-duty acrylic unit into place and seal it with industrial-grade waterproof materials.
To be perfectly fair, we want you to have all the facts before making this important investment.
On the plus side, you get unmatched safety, a very comfortable sitting position, and therapeutic water jets.
These features provide incredible relief for arthritis, poor circulation, and general muscle stiffness.
On the flip side, you have to step inside the unit before filling it up with water.
This means you will spend a couple of minutes sitting there as the warm water rises around you.
However, our high-end models feature heated backrests that keep you cozy and warm during those few minutes.
Another factor to keep in mind is that these premium systems require professional setup to avoid costly leaks.
Attempting a DIY job on a sealed-door system often leads to water damage and voided warranties.
By trusting our experienced local team, you get a solid warranty and absolute peace of mind.
If you are ready to take control of your safety, reaching out to us is the easiest first step.
We will visit your home, look at your existing plumbing, and give you a detailed, transparent price quote.
You are under zero obligation to buy anything from us.
We believe that every homeowner deserves to feel secure in their own dwelling without breaking the bank.
Simply contact us today, and let us help you rediscover the joy of a safe, warm, and relaxing bath!
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 Shorewood-Tower Hills-Harbert.
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.
