The Tobias crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Saline 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 older or dealing with limited mobility can turn your daily shower into a scary chore.
Fortunately, you can swap that old, slippery basin for a secure, low-step bathing system that keeps you safe.
Our local team visits your home to measure your space and give you a free estimate.
Because of those high tub walls, stepping into a standard bath feels like climbing a small mountain.
This barrier creates a major slipping hazard for anyone with balance issues.
By choosing a specialized low-threshold entry unit, you regain your independence and peace of mind.
Actually, our specialized team focuses on retrofitting existing bathrooms with these accessible units.
We handle everything from removing your old cast-iron fixture to sealing the new leak-proof door system.
This means you get a stress-free upgrade without having to manage multiple contractors.
First of all, the built-in outward or inward opening door eliminates the need to lift your legs.
You simply step over a tiny threshold that is only a few inches off the floor.
This simple change dramatically lowers the risk of falling on wet porcelain.
In addition to safety, these units offer therapeutic benefits like targeted hydrotherapy jets.
Warm water surrounds your body while gentle air streams soothe sore muscles and aching joints.
Which means you get a spa-like experience right in your own home every single day.
On top of that, these specialized systems come with contoured, ADA-compliant seating.
You do not have to struggle to lower yourself all the way to the floor anymore.
Instead, you sit at a natural height while enjoying a deep, relaxing soak.
To start with, we install heavy-duty grab bars directly into the structural wall studs.
These bars give you solid leverage when you sit down or stand up.
You will feel completely stable because these bars never wobble or slip.
Another key detail is the slip-resistant textured floor molded directly into the acrylic shell.
Your feet grip the surface easily even when soapy water covers the bottom.
This texture provides the ultimate traction where you need it most.
| Key Safety Feature | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Low-threshold entry door | No more high stepping to enter the bath |
| Integrated grab bars | Solid handholds for balance and support |
| Contoured built-in seat | Comfortable upright posture while bathing |
| Fast-drain technology | Quick water exit so you can open the door sooner |
Moreover, the fast-drain system empties the basin in just a couple of minutes.
You will not have to sit shivering in the cold while waiting for the water to leave.
Once the water drains, you just open the door and walk right out.
Naturally, you might wonder how we fit a deep soaking unit into a standard bathroom layout.
Our technicians measure your current space down to the fraction of an inch to ensure a perfect fit.
We often use custom surround panels to match your existing walls beautifully.
Consequently, we do not need to tear down your entire bathroom to complete the job.
We slide the new watertight unit directly into the footprint of your old traditional bath.
This clever approach saves you thousands of dollars in major remodeling fees.
During the setup, we upgrade your plumbing lines to handle the fast-fill faucets.
These heavy-duty brass fixtures fill the deep basin much quicker than standard residential taps.
This means your bath is ready before you even finish picking out your towel.
Depending on your bathroom layout, you can choose an inward-swinging or outward-swinging door.
Inward doors use water pressure to seal themselves tighter while the basin fills up.
They work wonderfully in tight spaces where bathroom floor area is limited.
On the other hand, outward doors offer the easiest possible entry and exit.
If you use a wheelchair or walker, this style allows for a seamless transfer onto the seat.
We will help you evaluate your room layout to choose the absolute best option.
If you plan to age in place, upgrading your bathroom is a crucial step.
Staying in the home you love is much easier when you remove daily physical obstacles.
This modification allows you to maintain your privacy without relying on helper assistance.
Furthermore, local home buyers value accessible features more than ever these days.
Adding a premium leak-free door unit increases the overall appeal of your property.
So you are protecting your physical well-being while also preserving your home equity.
Consider the alternative costs of moving into an assisted living facility.

When you contact us, we schedule a convenient time to look at your bathroom.
We inspect your plumbing, measure the door frames, and check your water heater capacity.

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 Tobias.
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.
