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.
You can finally stop worrying about slipping on wet tiles while trying to climb over that steep, high barrier of your old traditional bath. Getting older or dealing with annoying joint pain makes daily hygiene feel like an Olympic sport, which is why we are here to help you get your independence back today. We bring our tools right to your home in Boone County to give you a custom setup that makes bathing a joy instead of a scary chore.
Our friendly team visits your home to look at your layout and explain how these low-threshold bathing units keep you safe. You can easily get a free estimate today to see how affordable your peace of mind really is. We handle everything from pulling out your old leaky tub to sealing up your brand-new, easy-access sanctuary.
Think about how nice it will feel to just open a secure door, step inside with a tiny step, and sit down on a molded seat. This clever design prevents nasty falls because you do not have to balance on one leg while climbing into the basin. Additionally, you get to enjoy a deep, warm soak that covers your chest without the fear of not being able to stand back up when you are done.
Safety features like textured floors and built-in grab bars give you extra stability while you wash. These specialized tubs also come with fast-draining technology so you do not have to sit there shivering for ten minutes waiting for the water to empty. We make sure the seal is tight as a drum so your bathroom floor stays dry as a bone.
| Special Feature | How It Helps You | Why You Need It |
|---|---|---|
| Low Step-In Threshold | Eliminates high stepping | Prevents slips and balance loss |
| Contoured Built-In Seating | Lets you sit comfortably while washing | Reduces fatigue and joint strain |
| Leak-Proof Door Seal | Keeps water inside the unit | Protects your bathroom floor from rot |
| Hydrotherapy Jets | Massages sore muscles and stiff joints | Relieves arthritis pain naturally |
Many folks wonder if we have to tear down their entire house just to fit one of these accessible bathing enclosures inside. Actually, we usually slide them right into the exact same footprint where your old standard tub used to sit. This saves you tons of cash on major drywall repairs and heavy plumbing relocations.
However, we sometimes need to upgrade your water heater because these deep basins hold more gallons than a shallow, rusty old tub. Which means we will inspect your current home infrastructure first to ensure you have enough hot water to fill it up. Our crew works fast and cleans up every speck of dust before we leave your house.
Now, you might worry about the price of such a major home upgrade. That is why we offer a completely free quote where we lay out all the costs without any hidden fees or high-pressure sales talk. We believe in being honest with our neighbors, especially in cozy communities with a median household income around $121,000 where people appreciate hard work and fair prices.
You can choose between an inward-swinging door or an outward-swinging door depending on how much space you have in your bathroom. Inward doors use the natural pressure of the water to stay sealed, which makes them incredibly reliable over time. On the other hand, outward doors are much easier to exit in an emergency or if you use a wheelchair.
This choice depends entirely on your physical mobility and the layout of your surrounding walls. We help you weigh these pros and cons during our visit so you make the perfect choice for your daily routine. We want you to feel confident and secure every single time you decide to take a soak.
Installing these advanced systems requires a real understanding of local building codes and heavy-duty residential plumbing. Our team checks your drain lines because these units require special fast-drain kits to empty the water quickly. On top of that, if you choose a model with heated backrests or air jets, we must run a safe, dedicated electrical line.
This ensures you never overload your home breakers while you are trying to unwind after a long, stressful day. We take care of all these technical details so you do not have to worry about a thing. You get a fully functional, safe luxury setup that works perfectly from day one.
Staying in your own beloved home as you age is a goal that almost everyone shares. Making these smart modifications now prevents you from having to move into an expensive assisted living facility later. It is a simple way to preserve your dignity and take care of your body without relying on others for basic hygiene.
This upgrade also adds solid value to your property because accessible homes are highly sought after these days. Plus, your family members will sleep much better at night knowing you are safe from dangerous bathroom falls. It is truly a gift of wellness and independence for everyone involved.
We love helping residents in our quiet pocket of Boone County enjoy their homes for many years to come. Whether you live near the heart of town or in the surrounding countryside, we come straight to your door with friendly service. Our free estimate gives you all the details you need to make the best decision for your lifestyle.
When you contact us, we do not just send you a generic price sheet because every single bathroom is different. We schedule a convenient time to visit your home, measure your door frames, and check your plumbing pipes. This ensures we give you an accurate price that will not change halfway through the job.
We show you different models, from basic soaking tubs to high-tech units with soothing air jets and aromatherapy features. You can ask us any questions you have about the installation process, warranties, or maintenance. We keep things simple, relaxed, and completely transparent so you feel comfortable with us.
There is absolutely no obligation to buy anything when we come out for your assessment. We want to give you the facts so you can make an informed choice for your family. Contact us today to secure your free quote and take the first step toward a safer, much more pleasant bathing experience!
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 Ulen.
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.
