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.
If you feel anxious every time you step over that high slippery barrier of your standard bath you are not alone. Our specialized team of local technicians is ready to transform your bathroom into a secure accessible haven. We want to help you regain your independence with a customized solution that fits your home perfectly.
Taking action now prevents dangerous slips and falls where you should feel safest. This means you can enjoy a deeply relaxing soak without any of the scary physical struggles. Plus we will visit your home to measure everything and give you a detailed pricing breakdown.
To put it simply we replace your traditional dangerous basin with a premium leak-proof swing-door bathtub that allows you to walk right inside. This heavy-duty sealed unit features a very low threshold so you only have to lift your foot a couple of inches to enter. Inside you will discover a contoured built-in seat that lets you sit upright while the warm water wraps around you.
Because you do not have to lower yourself all the way to the floor your joints will thank you. That is why many people with limited mobility or arthritis find this setup to be an absolute lifesaver. On top of that the integrated grab bars give you sturdy handholds so you always keep your balance.
Our heavy-duty marine-grade fiberglass and acrylic shells are incredibly durable and resist mold growth. Which means you will spend less time scrubbing on your knees and more time relaxing. We also install advanced fast-drain systems so you do not have to sit shivering while the water empties out.
To help you understand the different options we offer here is a quick comparison of the styles we can bring to your home.
| Model Style | Key Benefit | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Soaker | Deep warm immersion | Simple pain relief and safety |
| Hydrotherapy Jetter | Active muscle massage | Severe arthritis and poor circulation |
| Bariatric Wide-Door | Extra seating room | Maximum physical support and ease |
Working with us means you get local folks who understand the unique structural quirks of coastal Maine homes. We do not believe in sketchy high-pressure sales tactics or messy multi-week demolition projects. Actually our skilled installers often complete the entire physical transition in just one or two days.
This rapid turnaround minimizes the disruption to your daily routine so you can get back to normal life quickly. We take immense pride in cleaning up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools. You will only notice the beautiful new addition to your home and not a single bit of mess.
Since we live and work nearby we can easily drive out to your property whenever it fits your schedule. Our team services the entire scenic island community located within Lincoln County which has a cozy population of about 718 residents. We regularly travel across the bridge to help neighbors preserve their freedom in their cherished homes.
Safety is obviously the number one reason to make this smart upgrade but the emotional relief is just as valuable. Your family members will stop worrying about your safety because they know you can bathe without assistance. This peace of mind is truly priceless for everyone involved.
Additionally the soothing warm water therapy can significantly improve your sleep quality and ease chronic body aches. The targeted air jets we offer can gently massage your lower back and legs to boost blood flow. It feels like having a private spa day right in your own home whenever you want.
This smart investment also increases the overall value of your property and makes it more senior-friendly. If you plan on aging in place this modification ensures you will not be forced to relocate to an expensive assisted living facility. You get to stay in the home you love surrounded by your memories.
First we schedule a friendly face-to-face visit to look at your existing plumbing layout and take precise measurements. We need to check your water heater capacity to ensure it can handle the larger volume of warm water. This prevents any cold surprises during your very first soak.
After that we show you our catalog of beautiful finishes and hardware options so you can customize the look. We want this new fixture to blend seamlessly with your current decor while adding a touch of modern luxury. You will get a clear upfront written estimate with no hidden fees or surprise upcharges.
Installing one of these heavy-duty units requires specialized plumbing knowledge that goes far beyond a standard remodel. We must carefully align the drain pipes to ensure rapid water evacuation so you can exit the tub quickly. Our crew also installs certified anti-scald valves to protect your sensitive skin from sudden temperature spikes.
We only use high-grade silicone sealants and heavy-duty brass fittings to prevent any future water damage inside your walls. This meticulous attention to detail protects your subflooring from costly rot and mold issues down the line. We do the job right the first time so you never have to worry about leaks.
If your bathroom doorway is a bit narrow we have creative solutions to navigate those tight spaces without damaging your walls. We know how to handle the historic architecture often found in the 04578 ZIP area. Our experience allows us to overcome these structural challenges with ease.
Choosing the correct door swing is crucial because it affects how easily you can transfer from a wheelchair or walker. An outward-swinging door offers the most entry clearance while an inward-swinging door is perfect for tighter bathroom layouts. We will help you weigh these pros and cons based on your personal mobility level.
You can also opt for heated backrests that keep you warm while the basin is still filling up with water. This simple feature makes a massive difference during those freezing winter mornings. We want to customize every single detail to match your daily routine perfectly.
If you are ready to take control of your safety we are here to make the process completely stress-free. Our friendly local team is standing by to answer your questions and design the perfect setup for your home. You do not have to live with the fear of falling any longer.
Contact us today to schedule your on-site evaluation and receive your written quote. We will treat your home with the utmost respect and deliver a solution that brings back your bathing independence. Let us help you make your bathroom a place of pure relaxation and safety once again.
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 Westport Island.
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.
