The Stockdale crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Washington 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.
Getting in and out of a standard bath can feel like climbing a mountain when your knees or back start acting up.
Fortunately, you can swap that old high-walled basin for a much safer alternative that features a leak-proof side door.
This smart upgrade keeps you independent at home while adding peace of mind to your daily routine.
Now, choosing the right setup requires a bit of planning because every bathroom layout has its own little quirks.
Which means you need a local hand to look at your plumbing and measure the space before making any big decisions.
Our team gladly offers a completely free in-home consultation to help you figure out the best fit for your budget.
Slips on wet tile represent one of the biggest household hazards for folks who want to age in place gracefully.
By lowering the step-in threshold to just a few inches, you eliminate the scary balancing act of stepping over a giant porcelain barrier.
This simple change transforms a stressful chore into a deeply relaxing, spa-like experience right in your own home.
On top of that, these specialized units come packed with great features like built-in seating, sturdy grab bars, and non-slip floors.
That built-in bench lets you sit down comfortably while the water fills up around you, instead of hovering awkwardly over a low drain.
You get to enjoy a deep, warm soak without ever worrying about how you will stand back up when you are done.
Because of these great design choices, many homeowners find they can stay in their beloved houses much longer than expected.
Imagine avoiding expensive assisted living facilities simply by making your current washroom safer and much more accessible.
Our friendly crew loves helping neighbors achieve exactly that kind of freedom through honest, high-quality craftsmanship.
Many folks worry that installing a modern, accessible bath will require tearing down their entire house and starting over from scratch.
Actually, these units are designed to fit directly into the exact footprint of your existing standard five-foot bathtub.
This clever sizing keeps your remodeling costs down and minimizes the mess inside your home during the swap.
To help you understand the different options available, we put together a handy comparison of the main styles you can choose from:
| Soaker Model | Hydrotherapy Model | Bariatric Model |
|---|---|---|
| Simple, deep water immersion with basic safety features. | Active water and air jets to massage tired muscles. | Wider door and reinforced seating for extra space. |
| Great for budget-conscious buyers. | Perfect for arthritis relief. | Designed for maximum roominess. |
However, you must also consider your water heater capacity because these deep wells hold a lot more water than a shallow basin.
Sometimes we need to upgrade your tank or install a fast-heating unit so you do not run out of warm water midway through.
We look at all these little technical details during our initial visit so there are no chilly surprises later on.
First, our crew arrives to carefully remove your old cast iron or fiberglass tub without damaging the surrounding drywall.
This part of the job requires some muscle and experience, especially when navigating tight hallways and narrow doorways.
We take extra care to protect your floors and clean up every speck of dust before we leave.
Next, we inspect the underlying subfloor for any hidden water damage or rot that needs fixing before the new unit goes in.
Securing a level, solid foundation ensures your new step-in basin stays perfectly balanced and never creaks when you walk inside.
This attention to detail prevents future leaks and guarantees your door seal remains completely watertight for years to come.
Finally, we hook up the new fixtures, including the fast-drain system that pulls water out quickly so you do not sit shivering.
Nobody wants to wait around for ten minutes just to open the door, so we prioritize heavy-duty plumbing connections.
Once everything is sealed tight, we run a full test to make sure every single jet and seal works perfectly.
We love working right here in Washington County because we get to help our neighbors live more secure and pleasant lives.
Whether you live near the scenic riverbanks or up on the hills, we know the local housing styles inside and out.
Many homes in our area have older plumbing systems, but we know exactly how to update them safely and efficiently.

Supporting local businesses means you get personalized service and a team that genuinely cares about your long-term satisfaction.
A common question we hear is whether the door will eventually start leaking and ruin the bathroom floor over time.
Actually, modern units feature advanced pressure-sealed gaskets that use the weight of the water to press the seal even tighter.
This smart engineering means the seal actually gets stronger as the tub fills up, keeping your floor bone dry.
Another worry is the time it takes to get the job done from start to finish.
Typically, our experienced team can complete the entire swap in just one to two days, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
We work quickly and cleanly so you can get back to enjoying your home without a long, drawn-out construction headache.
Some folks also ask if they can still use the space for a quick shower when they are in a rush.
Yes, we can install a riser bar and a handheld showerhead so you get the absolute best of both worlds.
This versatility makes the bathroom convenient for everyone in the household, no matter how they prefer to clean up.
Taking the first step toward a safer home is much easier than you think, and it starts with zero financial pressure.
We believe you should have all the facts and pricing upfront before you spend a single hard-earned penny on home modifications.
That is why we offer detailed estimates completely free of charge to any homeowner looking to improve their daily routine.
During our visit, we will measure your space, discuss your specific physical needs, and give you a clear, honest price.
You will never have to deal with pushy sales tactics or hidden fees because we believe in treating our neighbors like family.
Let us help you bring back the joy of a warm, deep soak without any of the worry or physical strain.
Reach out to us today to schedule your free home visit and take control of your personal safety.
We look forward to meeting you, checking out your space, and helping you design the perfect, secure bathing retreat.
Your peace of mind is worth it, and we are ready to make your dream bathroom a beautiful reality!
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 Stockdale.
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.
