The Westpoint crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Tippecanoe 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.
Every single day we take our daily shower or bath for granted until a simple slip changes everything.
If you or your loved ones are starting to feel a bit uneasy stepping over that high barrier of a standard basin, it is time to look at a smart, life-changing alternative.
This complete guide shows you how upgrading your bathroom setup keeps you independent and safe at home.
Naturally, you want to stay in your beloved home for as long as possible without risking a nasty fall.
By choosing a specialized low-threshold deep soaking system, you completely remove the main danger zone in your personal restroom.
This means you can finally relax and enjoy a warm, deep soak without any anxiety or help from others.
When you are ready to explore your options, we come right to your home to look at your current layout.
We provide a detailed assessment and a completely free estimate so you can plan your home upgrade with absolute confidence.
This pressure-free visit helps you understand the exact physical and financial fit for your space.
First of all, stepping over a wet, slippery porcelain ledge that is two feet high defies basic physics and safety.
A specialized accessible bathing unit features an airtight door that opens up wide to let you walk right in.
Which means you only have to lift your foot a mere few inches to enter your personal oasis.
On top of that, these units come equipped with a built-in, contoured seat that keeps you comfortably upright.
This clever design helps people with limited mobility or sore joints enjoy a deep, warm bath without trying to struggle up from the floor.
Actually, you just sit down effortlessly, seal the door, and let the warm water wrap around you.
To give you a better idea of how these systems compare to what you currently have, let us look at the main differences:
| Design Feature | Standard Restroom Basin | Accessible Walk-In Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Step-In Height | Typically 14 to 18 inches | Ultra-low 2 to 5 inches |
| Seating | Flat floor level | Contoured, chair-height seat |
| Safety Extras | None built-in | Integrated grab bars and textured floor |
| Drainage Speed | Standard slow drain | Powered fast-drain technology |
As you can see, the differences are huge when it comes to protecting your physical well-being.
Investing in this modern bathroom technology keeps you in control of your daily routine.
Our local team specializes in installing these advanced systems quickly and cleanly in your home.
Now, you might wonder how we actually get one of these heavy, leak-proof units into your existing bathroom space.
Our experienced crew starts by carefully measuring your doorways and removing your old, outdated tub without damaging your walls.
This ensures a smooth transition and prevents any unnecessary mess in your living areas.
After that, we inspect your current plumbing pipes and subfloor to make sure everything is rock solid and dry.
We often upgrade the drains and valves to handle the high volume of water and ensure rapid emptying.
This attention to detail means you will not be sitting around waiting for the water to drain away when you are done.
Next, we position the new heavy-duty acrylic unit, level it perfectly, and connect the secure water lines.
We apply specialized, mold-resistant sealants around the edges to guarantee a lifetime of leak-free performance.
This professional touch protects your home from hidden water damage and expensive mold issues down the road.
Because every person has unique physical needs, these modern accessible units come with customizable features.
You can choose therapeutic water jets that target sore lower back muscles and arthritic joints.
This turns a simple wash into a soothing, warm spa treatment right in your own home.
Besides the physical therapy benefits, you also get heavy-duty grab bars placed exactly where you need them most.
These sturdy bars give you multiple points of contact so you never lose your balance.
This setup restores your confidence and lets you bathe without needing anyone else in the room.
Another fantastic upgrade is the heated seating and backrest option which keeps you warm while the basin fills up.
Since you must enter the unit before turning on the water, this prevents you from getting chilly.
It is these small, thoughtful details that make the entire experience truly luxurious and pleasant.

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 Westpoint.
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.
