Taking a simple bath shouldn't feel like climbing a dangerous mountain in your own home.

Our dedicated local team travels directly to your home to evaluate your bathroom layout. We offer completely free personalized estimates to help you figure out the best fit for your space.

Since we handle every step of the process from measuring to final sealing, you get a hassle-free upgrade. Let us take the stress out of your daily routine with a setup designed for lifetime reliability.
Many people assume changing a bathroom layout is a quick weekend project they can tackle with some basic tools. However, these specialized airtight swing-door basins require precise plumbing adjustments and expert leveling to ensure they never leak a single drop of water. Because these units hold a lot of water weight, your subfloor must be perfectly reinforced and prepared first.
Our crew looks at your existing pipes and water heater capacity to make sure everything matches up nicely. Sometimes, you need a larger drain or a fast-fill faucet to keep from sitting cold while the basin fills up or empties. Which means our thorough on-site evaluation saves you from expensive mistakes down the road.
To give you a better idea of what goes into this transformation, we have put together a quick comparison of standard setups versus these accessible models.
| Feature | Standard Basin | Accessible Swing-Door Model |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low 2 to 5 inches |
| Seating | Lying flat on the floor | Contoured, ADA-compliant raised seat |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Integrated grab bars and textured floors |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow gravity drain | Powered fast-drain options |
Investing in a modern accessible bathing unit is about reclaiming your personal freedom and enjoying a soothing, spa-like escape. Imagine sitting on a comfortable, molded chair-height bench while warm water surrounds you, easing those stubborn backaches and stiff knees. On top of that, you do not have to worry about losing your balance because everything you need is within arm's reach.
These advanced systems come loaded with leak-proof door seals that carry lifetime warranties so your bathroom floor stays bone dry. This lets you relax completely without worrying about water damage ruining the drywall downstairs or causing mold. Additionally, the built-in grab bars offer sturdy leverage whenever you stand up or sit down.
We pride ourselves on offering options that fit into your existing alcove without requiring a complete, messy demolition of your entire home. Since we customize the surrounding wall panels, your new setup will blend beautifully with your current decor. You get a clean, polished look that elevates the value of your property while making your life vastly easier.
If you suffer from poor circulation or arthritis, incorporating gentle water jets can make a world of difference for your body. These soothing streams target your legs and lower back to melt away tension after a long day of chores. Consequently, you sleep much better at night because your body feels genuinely relaxed and pain-free.
Our customizable units also feature air therapy systems that release thousands of tiny, warm bubbles for a delicate massage. This option is perfect for sensitive skin because it stimulates blood flow without feeling too intense. You can control the settings easily with waterproof buttons located right at your fingertips.
Nobody likes sitting in a cooling puddle of soapy water waiting for the basin to empty out so they can open the door. That is why we offer high-speed dual drain technology that clears the entire vessel in under two minutes flat. This smart addition ensures you stay warm and cozy until the very moment you step out onto your bath mat.
By utilizing these advanced plumbing designs, we ensure your daily routine remains fast and efficient. This system works by using dedicated dual suction points that pull water down the drain simultaneously. You get a swift, reliable exit every single time without any standing water left behind.

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 Tatum.
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.
