The Westfield crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Cook 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 mountain as we get older or deal with nagging mobility issues. Fortunately, a specialized low-threshold deep-soaking basin with a secure airtight door offers the perfect solution to keep you safe and independent in your own washroom. Our dedicated local team travels right to your doorstep to evaluate your space and give you a detailed no-obligation project estimate at absolutely no cost.
Taking this step means you can finally stop worrying about dangerous slips on wet bathroom tiles. This smart upgrade brings back the joy of a warm bath without the stressful physical struggle. Let us help you transform your daily routine into a peaceful experience once again.
Choosing the right setup involves looking at your current layout and finding a model that fits your physical needs perfectly. Since we handle the entire process from measuring to the final test run, you do not have to worry about a single detail. We make sure everything aligns with your plumbing so you can enjoy your new setup immediately.
First, we must look at how these specialized high-walled bathing units actually fit into your existing washroom footprint. Because they feature high walls and built-in seating, they require precise plumbing alignments and sometimes upgraded water heaters to fill the larger volume quickly. Our skilled technicians examine your current pipes and floor strength to ensure a seamless fit during our initial visit.
Then, we help you choose the best configuration, whether you need outward-opening doors for wheelchair transfers or inward-swinging doors to save precious floor space. This planning stage prevents any surprises during the actual physical setup. We want to ensure that your daily routine becomes much simpler and safer.
Finally, we disconnect your old heavy ceramic tub and carefully dispose of it so you do not have to lift a finger. Our team installs new leak-proof drains and secures the new unit to prevent any shifting over time. This meticulous approach guarantees that your investment remains solid and dry for decades to come.
Imagine stepping over a tiny barrier of only a few inches instead of balancing on one slick foot to clear a high porcelain wall. This simple change reduces the risk of falls in the bathroom by an incredible margin. It gives you back your privacy and dignity so you can bathe without needing constant assistance from family members.
On top of that, these units feature molded slip-resistant floors and strategically placed safety bars that give you sturdy handholds exactly where you need them. You can sit comfortably on a raised chair-height seat while the warm water surrounds your body. This setup delivers ultimate relaxation and peace of mind every single day.
To help you understand the differences between standard setups and these specialized safety systems, we compiled a quick comparison table below.
| Feature | Standard Tub | Accessible Safety Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | 14 to 18 inches | 2 to 4 inches |
| Seating | Flat floor level | Contoured raised bench |
| Safety Features | None built-in | Grab bars and non-slip floors |
| Water Depth | Shallow soaking | Deep full-body immersion |
Now, you might wonder if your current water heater can keep up with a deeper basin. That is a very common concern among homeowners who are planning this kind of washroom upgrade. We inspect your utility room during our consultation to determine if you need a fast-heating system or a larger tank.
Which means you will never have to worry about running out of warm water halfway through your bath. We also offer advanced options like heated seating surfaces and rapid-drain technology that empties the basin in under two minutes. You will not have to sit shivering while waiting for the water to clear out.
This attention to detail ensures that your new bathing system feels like a personal spa built just for your lifestyle. We adjust every handrail and nozzle to match your height and reach preferences. It is all about making your daily life much easier and far more luxurious.

Attempting to install one of these heavy, complex systems on your own can quickly turn into a plumbing disaster. These units require perfect leveling so the door seals correctly and prevents major water damage to your subfloor. Our professional crew has the specialized tools and experience to seal every joint flawlessly.
This expertise saves you from costly future repairs caused by slow, hidden leaks behind your drywall. We also handle the electrical hookups for advanced hydrotherapy jets safely, keeping all wiring far away from the water lines.

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 Westfield.
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.
