The Thurman crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Allen 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 bathtub can feel like climbing a small mountain when your knees or hips start acting up.
Fortunately, specialized deep-soaking units with low-threshold entry doors offer a perfect way to regain your independence without risking a dangerous slip.
If you want to transform your daily routine into a stress-free slice of heaven, our local crew is ready to visit your home and give you a written estimate.
Stepping over a high porcelain wall is the number one cause of bathroom mishaps for folks who want to age in place.
This is why modern step-in bathing enclosures have become so popular for homeowners who refuse to compromise on their safety or their personal dignity.
By choosing a professional setup, you secure peace of mind and protect your joints from unnecessary strain every single day.
Our skilled crew handles the entire process from measuring your current layout to plumbing the new hardware perfectly.
You will not have to worry about leaks or messy drywall work because we treat your home like it belongs to our own grandmother.
Let us take a closer look at how this simple upgrade can change your life for the better.
Imagine never having to balance on one slippery wet foot again just to get clean.
Instead, you simply open a secure watertight door, step inside over a tiny three-inch threshold, and sit down on a molded contoured bench.
This incredible layout keeps you secure while the warm water rises around your chest to soothe those aching muscles.
Safety features like integrated grab bars and slip-resistant floors come standard with these premium retrofits.
Which means you can wash yourself without constantly searching for something sturdy to hold onto when things get soapy.
On top of that, the elevated seating position makes rising to a standing posture incredibly easy compared to deep standard basins.
| Standard Basin Hurdles | Our Accessible Upgrades |
|---|---|
| High step-over height (15-20 inches) | Ultra-low entry threshold (2-4 inches) |
| Slippery flat floor with no support | Built-in seating and strategic grab bars |
| Slow draining and cold drafts | Rapid-drain technology and heated surfaces |
Many models also feature advanced hydrotherapy jets that target your lower back, calves, and feet.
This lets you enjoy a spa-like massage that relieves tension and boosts your local circulation right in your own home.
You will wonder why you waited so many years to make this vital upgrade to your master suite.
Our friendly technicians start by inspecting your existing layout and checking your water heater capacity.
Because these deep units hold more volume than a tiny standard basin, we must ensure your plumbing can handle the extra demand.
We always explain every detail in plain English so you never feel left in the dark about your project.
Once we agree on the perfect model for your body type, we carefully extract your old cast iron or fiberglass tub.
This step requires muscle and precision to avoid damaging your surrounding bathroom tiles or door frames.
We haul away the old junk for free so you do not have to worry about trash day hassles.
Next, we align the new structural framing and connect the heavy-duty flexible drain lines.
We use premium silicone sealants and industrial-grade brass fittings to ensure a lifetime of leak-free operation.
After a thorough water test, we clean up our workspace until the area looks absolutely spotless.
You can choose from several door configurations depending on whether you are left-handed or have limited mobility in one arm.
Some doors swing inward to save exterior floor space, while outward-swinging doors offer maximum room for easy wheelchair transfers.
We help you select the exact layout that keeps you moving freely and safely.
Fast-draining technology is another fantastic feature you should definitely consider adding to your setup.
This system utilizes a powerful internal pump to empty the water in under eighty seconds flat.
As a result, you will not have to sit there shivering while waiting for the water level to drop before opening the door.

However, we can easily install heated backrests and fast-fill faucets to minimize any temporary chilliness you might experience.
The immense safety benefits of avoiding a catastrophic fall far outweigh the minor inconvenience of waiting a minute for the water.

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 Thurman.
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.
