From every corner of Washtenaw County, the climb over the tub wall gives way to a watertight door, a warm seat and a steady hand to hold.
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.
Thinking about how you use your bathroom can become a bit stressful when steps start feeling higher than they used to. Transitioning to a setup with a low-step entryway and a watertight door keeps you independent while soaking away the aches of the day. This smart upgrade lets you slide right onto a contoured seat without balancing on one slippery foot.
Our local team visits homes across this beautiful corner of the Great Lakes State to measure layouts and plan these changes. We love helping folks in the area around Ann Arbor find the perfect fit for their bathroom footprint. You get to reclaim your peace of mind and keep your beautiful home yours for many years to come.
Because every home has different plumbing quirks, getting a personalized assessment is the smartest first move. Requesting a free estimate from us means you get clear answers about cost and layout without any pressure. Let us help you make your bathroom a place of pure relaxation again.
Choosing the right setup requires looking at how you want to use your space. Some folks prefer deep soaking models that let you submerge up to your chest while sitting down. Others look for specialized designs featuring outward-swinging doors that make transferring from a wheelchair much easier.
This decision changes how you start your mornings. Having a high-backed seat inside your stall means you do not have to struggle to stand up from a low floor level. On top of that, these units drain incredibly fast so you do not sit shivering while the water empties out.
| Feature | Direct Daily Benefit | Safety Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Low Threshold Entry | No more climbing over high ledger walls | Prevents slips and falls |
| Built-In Heated Seat | Keeps you warm while the tub fills up | Reduces muscle stiffness |
| Quick Drain Technology | Allows you to exit the unit almost immediately | Minimizes post-bath chills |
Our goal is to match your physical needs with the physical dimensions of your existing washroom. We analyze the water heater capacity in your home to ensure you always have enough hot water to fill the new system. This careful planning guarantees your daily routine feels like a visit to a high-end spa.
Beginning the transformation starts with removing your old, heavy cast-iron or acrylic basin. Our skilled installers carefully prep the subfloor to ensure it can support the weight of a fully loaded deep-soaking unit. This attention to detail prevents future leaks and keeps your floor joists perfectly dry.
Next, we align the new plumbing connections to match your existing drain lines. This part of the job requires precision because a bad seal can damage your drywall downstairs. We test every single connection multiple times before we seal up the surrounding surround panels.
Finally, we install custom grab bars and hand-held shower wands at the exact height you prefer. This customization lets you control your water flow with minimal effort. You receive a fully functional, easy-access sanctuary that looks like it was built with your home.
Deciding between air jets and water jets depends on what kind of massage you prefer. Air systems create gentle bubbles that tickle and stimulate the skin surface nicely. Meanwhile, water systems target deep muscle tension along your lower back and calves.
Integrating these systems into your home helps soothe those stubborn aches after a long day of yard work. Our team explains how to maintain the internal cleaning systems so your jets stay free of mold and mineral buildup. This knowledge ensures your investment remains clean and sanitary for a lifetime.
Fitting a large, secure basin into a standard five-foot opening takes some clever planning. We use specialized extension panels to fill in any empty wall space left by your old fixture. This clever trick keeps your bathroom looking cohesive without requiring a full wall-to-wall remodel.
Our team loves working in Washtenaw County because the homes here have so much unique character, from vintage builds to newer constructions. We know how to navigate older plumbing systems found in these local neighborhoods. You get a modern safety upgrade that respects the original charm of your home.
Attempting to install one of these heavy, door-equipped units as a weekend DIY project usually leads to massive headaches. These fixtures are incredibly heavy and require specialized electrical grounding if you choose heated or jetted models. Hiring experienced professionals protects your home warranty and ensures the job meets local building codes.
We handle all the heavy lifting and disposal of your old fixture so you do not have to worry about trash day. Our crew respects your living space by keeping dust to a minimum and cleaning up every scrap of debris. This careful service means you can start enjoying your new sanctuary almost immediately.
Our neighbors appreciate having a reliable partner who understands the local climate and housing styles. We take pride in serving our community, which features a vibrant population of over three hundred and seventy thousand residents. Our area boasts a strong median household income of around eighty-four thousand dollars, meaning local homeowners value quality upgrades that add real value to their properties.

We offer transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we turn a single wrench. Our written quotes break down the costs of the unit, plumbing updates, and labor. This clarity helps you plan your budget without any nasty surprises at the end of the project.
Getting your hands on a free estimate is incredibly easy and takes very little of your time. We visit your home, assess your layout, and provide a detailed plan tailored to your budget. This step puts you in complete control of your home comfort journey.
Imagine waking up and knowing your morning wash will be completely pain-free. You simply open the lightweight door, step over a threshold that is only a few inches high, and sit comfortably. No more fear of slipping on wet porcelain or struggling to find your footing.
This addition brings a sense of coziness and peace back to your home. You can read a book or listen to music while the warm water wraps around you. This simple pleasure should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical limitations.
We look forward to helping you transform your daily routine into a relaxing ritual. Our team is ready to answer any questions about different models, jet options, and installation timelines.

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.
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.
