The Westwood crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Johnson 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 bath can feel like climbing a mountain as you get older or deal with limited mobility.
Fortunately, a specialized, low-threshold bathing unit with a secure door lets you regain your independence right at home.
We help you transform your bathroom into a secure oasis by offering custom setups that fit your space perfectly.
Taking this step is not just about home improvement, it is about keeping your dignity intact.
Which is why we provide an in-home estimate to help you map out this vital change without any pressure.
This lets you explore all the options available for your specific layout while keeping your budget in mind.
Our team travels directly to your residence to measure your existing setup and discuss your personal needs.
Naturally, we understand that every home is unique, especially in our cozy community of 1,624 residents in Johnson County.
By choosing a local provider, you get personalized attention from people who actually care about your safety.
Standard tubs require you to balance on one slippery foot while stepping over a high porcelain barrier.
This dangerous daily obstacle course leads to thousands of bathroom slips every single year.
Choosing to replace that old basin with a secure, sealed-door model eliminates the risk of falling.
Our custom units feature an incredibly low entry point that is only a few inches off the floor.
This means you simply walk right in, sit down on a raised contoured seat, and close the leak-proof door.
On top of that, the built-in grab bars give you extra leverage when standing up or sitting down.
You might worry that retrofitting your bathroom will turn your home into a messy construction zone for weeks.
However, our experienced crew usually completes the swap in just a day or two with minimal disruption to your routine.
This quick turnaround time ensures you do not have to live without your primary bathroom for very long.
Modern sealed-door basins offer way more than just a safe way to clean yourself.
In fact, many of our models come equipped with soothing air jets and heated backrests.
These therapeutic additions help relieve arthritic pain, improve circulation, and soothe sore muscles after a long day.
Our high-quality units also feature fast-drain technology so you do not have to sit shivering while the water empties.
This clever system pumps the water out up to eight times faster than a standard drain.
Which means you can open the door and step out onto your dry floor almost immediately after finishing your bath.
| Key Safety Feature | Direct Benefit to You |
|---|---|
| Low-step entry threshold | Prevents trips and falls while entering the tub |
| Contoured, ADA-compliant seat | Allows you to bathe comfortably while sitting upright |
| Watertight door seal | Keeps water inside the basin without any messy leaks |
| Quick-drain technology | Saves you from sitting in cold water waiting for it to empty |
Starting a home remodel can feel overwhelming when you do not know what goes on behind the scenes.
First, we carefully remove your outdated, high-walled tub and inspect the underlying subfloor for any hidden water damage.
This crucial step ensures your new heavy-duty unit sits on a solid, mold-free foundation for decades to come.
Next, we update the plumbing lines to match the specific drainage and faucet requirements of your new unit.
Because these specialized basins hold more water than standard tubs, we make sure your hot water heater is up to the task.
Sometimes we even install a new, high-capacity faucet to fill your deeper basin much faster.
Finally, we slide the custom-fitted unit into place, level it perfectly, and seal all the edges with premium silicone.
We then run a full diagnostic test to ensure the door seal is completely airtight and all the jets function flawlessly.
Before we pack up our tools, we clean the entire workspace so your bathroom looks brand new.
Many homeowners assume their bathroom is simply too small to accommodate one of these specialized units.
Actually, we carry a wide variety of sizes designed to fit into the exact footprint of a standard sixty-inch bathtub.
This clever engineering saves you thousands of dollars by avoiding the need to tear down walls or reroute major plumbing.
For tighter spaces, we offer compact models that still provide ample interior room and deep soaking capabilities.
Meanwhile, if you have a larger bathroom, you can opt for wider models that offer extra seating room.
We help you select the ideal layout during our initial visit to ensure a perfect fit for your home.
Investing in your safety might seem expensive upfront, but it is much cheaper than moving into an assisted living facility.
In Westwood, Kansas, where the median household income sits around $82,500, investing in home accessibility is a smart way to protect your assets.
Staying in your beloved home near the 66205 area code is truly priceless.
A professional remodel also boosts the overall market value of your property by adding modern accessibility features.
Many buyers look for homes that are already prepared for multi-generational living or aging in place.
This means you get to enjoy the daily physical benefits now while securing a solid return on your investment later.
We believe in absolute transparency, which is why our written estimates break down every single cost down to the penny.
You will never have to worry about surprise fees, hidden labor charges, or sudden material markups.
This honest approach lets you plan your finances with total confidence and peace of mind.
Some people think these accessible units look cold and institutional, like something you would see in a hospital room.
On the contrary, our modern designs feature beautiful acrylic finishes, polished chrome fixtures, and stylish tile surrounds.
You can customize the look to match your existing decor, ensuring your bathroom looks sophisticated and welcoming.
Another common worry is that the door mechanism will eventually wear out and cause massive leaks on your floor.
To prevent this, our manufacturers use heavy-duty, commercial-grade seals backed by lifetime warranties.
The pressure of the water inside the tub actually helps push the door tighter against the frame to prevent leaks.
Lastly, some folks believe they cannot use their new unit as a traditional shower if they are in a hurry.
Actually, we can install a riser bar and a handheld showerhead so you can still take a quick standing shower.
This versatility makes the bathroom convenient for every member of your household, regardless of their physical abilities.
Waiting for an accident to happen before making your bathroom safer is a risky gamble you do not need to take.
Our local team is ready to visit your home, evaluate your bathroom layout, and give you a detailed plan.
We take pride in helping our neighbors live more independently and safely in their own homes.
Contact us today to schedule your completely free, no-obligation estimate with our friendly technicians.
We will answer all your questions, show you physical material samples, and help you choose the perfect model.
Take the first step toward a safer, more relaxing bathing experience today... you deserve the peace of mind!
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 Westwood.
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.
