The Westport crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Pope 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.
Slips and falls in the bathroom happen way too easily when you have to climb over a high barrier just to wash up.
This is why upgrading your bathing area with a secure door-entry basin makes absolute sense for staying safe.
You can easily regain your independence today by getting a customized setup designed for your specific home layout.
Getting in and out of a standard basin becomes a daily chore as we get older or deal with nagging injuries.
By choosing a low-threshold option, you completely remove the fear of losing your balance while stepping over a high ledge.
Which means you get to enjoy a relaxing soak without any of the usual stress or physical strain.
Our dedicated team visits your home to evaluate your space and give you a clear plan.
This lets you understand the exact physical setup required for a smooth upgrade without any unexpected surprises.
Actually, we provide a completely free written estimate so you can make an informed decision on your own terms.
Many homeowners worry that modifying their bathroom will turn into a messy and endless construction nightmare.
Fortunately, our seasoned crew specializes in retrofitting these specialized airtight units directly into your existing layout.
We carefully remove your old heavy basin without damaging the surrounding drywall or your beautiful flooring.
Because these leak-proof units require precise leveling, our hands-on technicians inspect your subfloor for any hidden water damage first.
Fixing these minor structural issues early ensures your new setup remains rock-solid for decades to come.
After that, we run heavy-duty drain lines to make sure your water empties out incredibly fast.
| Installation Step | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Subfloor Inspection | Prevents future mold growth and ensures a stable, squeak-free base. |
| Airtight Door Alignment | Guarantees a perfect seal so water never leaks onto your bathroom floor. |
| High-Flow Drain Integration | Allows the basin to empty rapidly so you do not sit shivering waiting to exit. |
Since you must remain inside the basin while it drains, fast-acting plumbing valves are absolutely crucial for your warmth.
Our advanced plumbing techniques speed up this drainage process significantly so you can step out almost immediately.
On top of that, we seal every single joint with premium mildew-resistant silicone for a spotless finish.
Stepping over a tiny three-inch threshold feels like heaven compared to climbing over a cold, slippery porcelain wall.
This simple change protects your knees and hips from unnecessary twisting and painful lifting every single day.
Clearly, this upgrade brings immense peace of mind to your children and relatives who worry about your safety.
Inside the unit, you will discover sturdy built-in seating that supports your body at a natural, comfortable height.
This ergonomic design means you never have to struggle to stand back up from a deep, low position.
Additionally, strategically placed grab bars give you reliable handholds exactly where you need them most during your bath.
Imagine enjoying deep muscle relaxation with soothing hydrotherapy jets targeted directly at your lower back and sore calves.
These warm water currents stimulate circulation and relieve stiff joints after a long afternoon working in the yard.
Consequently, you sleep much better at night because your body feels genuinely relaxed and completely pain-free.
Every home has a unique layout, which is why we offer both left-handed and right-handed door configurations.
This flexibility ensures your new unit never blocks your bathroom vanity or prevents your main door from opening fully.
Moreover, you can choose from various textured slip-resistant floor patterns to maximize your traction while soapy.
We also install handheld showerheads with extra-long flexible hoses so you can rinse off easily while remaining seated.
This convenient accessory makes washing your hair simple and keeps soapy water out of your eyes.
Ultimately, these smart design choices put you back in complete control of your personal hygiene routine.
Living in a quiet, close-knit community means neighbors look out for neighbors, especially when it comes to home improvements.
Our mobile service trucks travel throughout the entire region to deliver top-tier craftsmanship right to your front door.
Whether you reside near the local lakes or right in the heart of town, we treat your home with utmost respect.
We understand the local housing styles here, from classic farmhouses to modern ranch-style homes built in recent decades.
This local knowledge helps us anticipate the exact type of copper or PEX plumbing hidden behind your plaster walls.
As a result, we complete most of our bathroom transformations in just a couple of days.
Because the local population in Westport, Minnesota is quite small, with around 38 residents, personal reputation is everything to us.
We work hard to earn your trust by delivering honest work at a price that fits your household budget.
With a median household income of $33,750 in the area, we focus on cost-effective upgrades that provide lasting value.
Removing a cast iron or steel tub requires physical strength and the right tools to avoid damaging your walls.
Our crew protects your hallways with heavy drop cloths before we even bring a single tool inside.
This careful preparation keeps plaster dust and old insulation from drifting into your kitchen or living room.
Once we clear the old unit, we inspect the vertical wall studs for any signs of hidden rot.
If we find soft wood, we replace it immediately to ensure your grab bars can support heavy weight safely.
Naturally, we never cover up old problems because we want your new bathroom setup to last forever.
Newer water delivery lines require proper insulation to prevent freezing during our brutal Midwestern winter months.
We wrap your plumbing pipes in thick foam sleeves to maintain hot water temperatures and protect against sudden bursts.
This extra step saves you money on utility bills and prevents catastrophic water damage down the line.
After securing the heavy basin to your floor joists, we perform a rigorous triple-water test to verify every seal.
We fill the basin to the absolute brim to ensure the door gasket remains completely watertight under pressure.
This thorough testing process guarantees that your bathroom floor stays dry and free from dangerous puddles.
We haul away all the old debris, broken tiles, and packaging so you do not have to worry about garbage day.
Our team sweeps and vacuums the entire work area until it looks cleaner than when we first arrived.
Then, we walk you through every single feature of your new unit so you feel totally confident using it.
Investing in your physical safety allows you to stay in the home you love instead of moving to an expensive facility.
Our custom installations offer a practical alternative to costly remodeling projects that tear up your entire house.
Best of all, we offer free, no-obligation written quotes that detail every part of the project clearly.
We sit down with you at your kitchen table to discuss options that fit your physical needs and style preferences.
This relaxed conversation gives you plenty of time to ask questions about plumbing, warranties, 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 around Westport.
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.
