Let us take the stress out of the process with our friendly, local service that handles everything from the initial measurement to the final splash.

Understanding the Setup and Why It Matters

Replacing a traditional basin with a specialized, door-accessible soaking system requires specific skills and tools.
First, we carefully remove your old, hazardous fixture without damaging the surrounding drywall or flooring.
This ensures a clean slate for the new unit to sit perfectly level on your subfloor.

Next, we reconfigure the plumbing lines because these deep units often require heavy-duty drains and specific faucet placements.
Which means you get rapid draining technology that lets you exit the bath quickly without sitting around shivering.
We also secure the heavy, water-filled basin with specialized framing so it never shifts or leaks over time.

Finally, our crew seals every joint with high-grade, mold-resistant silicone to guarantee a watertight finish.
As a result of this meticulous care, you get a beautiful, functional setup that looks like it was always part of your home.
We even clean up every speck of dust before we leave, so your new sanctuary is ready for use immediately.

Customizing Your New Bath Setup

Every home is different, which is why we never use a one-size-fits-all approach for your safety remodel.
We measure your doorway, your hallways, and your existing plumbing to find the perfect unit size for your specific space.
This careful planning prevents unexpected delays or extra costs during the actual construction phase.

You can choose from left-hand or right-hand door swings to match the flow of your existing bathroom.
Additionally, we can install sturdy grab bars exactly where your hands naturally reach for support.
These small details make a massive difference in how confident and safe you feel during your daily bath.

The Realities of the Renovation Process

We believe in being completely honest about what a bathroom remodel actually looks like.
Yes, there will be some noise and dust for a day or two while we remove your old tub.
However, we use protective floor runners and dust barriers to keep the rest of your home pristine.

Sometimes, we discover old water damage or rotted subfloors behind the old walls once we tear them down.
If this happens, we explain the situation immediately and fix the wood properly before installing your new unit.
We never cover up structural problems, because your safety and the integrity of your home are our top priorities.

Why Professional Help Beats a DIY Attempt

Trying to install one of these heavy, door-access units yourself is a recipe for a plumbing disaster.
These specialized systems weigh a lot more than standard fiberglass tubs, especially when filled to the brim with water.
If your subfloor is not properly reinforced, you risk cracking your joists or causing severe sagging.

On top of that, matching the new drain system to your existing plumbing requires advanced piping skills.
A single tiny leak behind the wall can rot your floorboards and breed toxic black mold before you even notice it.
Hiring our experienced crew protects your home investment and ensures your manufacturer warranty remains fully valid.

We carry full liability insurance and follow all local building codes to give you total peace of mind.
This means you can sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee, and watch your bathroom transform without lifting a finger.
We handle the heavy lifting, the permits, and the cleanups so you can focus on planning your first relaxing soak.

The door, the seal, the drain: how a walk-in tub works in Tyro

Three ideas carry the whole invention. Once they make sense, the rest of this page is just detail.

The inward opening door of a walk-in tub

A door that opens inward

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.

A threshold about four inches high

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.

Hydrotherapy jets working inside a filled walk-in tub

A drain built to hurry

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.

Tub or walk-in shower? A fair answer

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 questionWalk-in tubWalk-in shower
What bathing feels likeA full warm soak, jets if you want themA quick rinse, standing or on a bench
Time it asks of youLonger: fill, soak, drainMinutes, in and out
Floor space neededSits in the footprint of the old bathtubWants a little more open floor to work well
Budget, installedHigher, because the door and seal are precision workOften lower for a simple conversion
Sore joints and tired musclesWarm water and jets do real, daily good hereNo soak, so none of the soak's relief
Who tends to love itPeople who cherish their bath and mean to keep itPeople 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.

Six pieces of work, one quiet bathroom in Tyro

  • The old tub leaves first

    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.

    The old tub leaves first
  • The new tub arrives whole

    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.

    The new tub arrives whole
  • Water lines and the fast drain

    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.

    Water lines and the fast drain
  • The door, hung and sealed

    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.

  • Jets, warm air and controls

    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.

    Jets, warm air and controls
  • Walls, trim and the brimful test

    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.

Where the money for this actually comes from

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.

How it goes, from hello to first bath in Tyro

  1. The call

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. On paper

    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.

  4. Fitting days

    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.

  5. The first bath

    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.

What the work costs, in plain figures in Tyro

The projectUsual bracketWhat sits inside it
Walk-in soaker tub, installed$4,000 - $8,000The tub, the door, removal of the old bathtub and the full fitting.
Hydrotherapy tub with jets$6,000 - $12,000Water jets, warm air or both, with the pumps and controls they need.
Bariatric or wide-door tub$7,000 - $14,000Wider seats and doors on a reinforced frame, sized at the assessment.
Removing the old bathtub alone$450 - $1,200Folded into the lines above; priced apart only if you stop there.
Dedicated electrical circuit$400 - $1,000Heated seats and pumps want their own breaker when the panel has no spare.
Walk-in tub and shower combo$8,000 - $15,000One 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.

Safety features that matter

The featureWhat it isWhy it counts
Low thresholdA step of about four inches into the tubThe climb over a bathtub wall is where most bathroom falls begin. Removing the climb removes the moment.
Seat at chair heightA molded seat near seventeen inches, like a dining chairSitting down and standing back up stay easy on knees and hips, with no lowering to the floor of a tub.
Grab bars where hands landFixed bars at the door and beside the seatBalance never has to depend on a towel bar that was only ever meant to hold towels.
Textured floor and seatSlip resistance molded into the tub surface itselfWet feet keep their grip without rubber mats that curl, slide and grow things.
Anti-scald valveA mixing valve that caps how hot water can arriveSkin grows thinner with the years. The valve keeps a hot surprise from ever reaching it.

Questions we answer at kitchen tables

Does the water rise quickly once I am seated?

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.

Will I sit in the cold while it drains?

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 Tyro.

What happens if the door leaks?

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.

Will the tub fit through my bathroom door?

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.

Can I arrange this for my mother or my father?

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.

Does asking for a quote tie me to anything?

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.
