The Willmar crew we send takes the old bathtub out, seals the new door in and tests it full, all over Kandiyohi 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 the years slip by.
This is why many local homeowners are choosing to replace their high-walled basins with a much safer, low-threshold alternative.
By making this simple change, you can finally reclaim your independence and enjoy a relaxing soak without any fear of slipping.
We understand that home modifications can feel overwhelming and a bit stressful at first.
Because of this, our team travels directly to your home to look at your current layout and help you plan.
We will answer all your questions and provide a detailed, cost-free estimate tailored to your budget.
Imagine never having to balance on one foot just to wash yourself again.
This dream becomes reality when you install a modern, leak-proof sealed door bath system.
To help you understand how this upgrade changes lives, we have broken down the entire process below.
Stepping over a slippery porcelain barrier presents a major hazard for anyone with limited mobility.
Actually, most household falls occur in the wet environment of the restroom.
By lowering that step to just a few inches, you instantly reduce the risk of a nasty fall.
On top of that, these specialized deep-soaking units come loaded with built-in grab bars and contoured seating.
This means you do not have to lower yourself all the way down to the floor level.
Instead, you sit at a natural height while the warm water wraps around your shoulders.
Our goal is to make sure you feel secure every time you want to freshen up.
Which is why we only recommend systems with slip-resistant floors and quick-drain technology.
No more shivering while you wait for the water to empty out of the basin.
When you request a visit from us, we do not just hand you a generic flyer and leave.
Instead, we carefully measure your doorway, your current plumbing pipes, and your hot water heater capacity.
This lets you know exactly what is possible without any guesswork or hidden surprises later.
We want to share some key details about our local service area so you know we are truly part of the community.

Living here in Minnesota means we deal with some freezing winters, making a deep, hot bath even more desirable.
We take pride in helping our neighbors in the region upgrade their properties for long-term comfort.
You have zero risk in exploring your options.
First and foremost, the swing-open entryway removes the need to lift your legs high. You simply open the watertight door, step inside, close it, and start filling the basin. This design offers incredible peace of mind for seniors and anyone recovering from an injury.
Furthermore, the built-in heated seating keeps you warm while the basin fills up with water.
Which means you will not get cold during those first few minutes of your bath.
It is all about making the entire experience as pleasant and stress-free as possible.
Many of our premium models feature adjustable hydrotherapy jets that target your sore back and legs. This helps soothe tired muscles after a long day of working or gardening. You get a spa-like treatment right in your own home, whenever you want it.
Additionally, these air jets help improve circulation throughout your body.
Which translates to feeling refreshed and energized after every single soak.
It is a wonderful investment in your overall daily happiness and physical well-being.
Every home has a unique shape, which means there is no single option that fits everyone.
Some bathrooms require a compact model that fits into a standard five-foot alcove space.
Other larger rooms can accommodate oversized units with outward-opening doors for wheelchair transfers.
During our visit, we will help you choose between inward-swinging and outward-swinging doors.
An inward door uses the water pressure to stay sealed, which is incredibly safe and reliable.
However, an outward door makes exiting much easier in an emergency, so we weigh these pros and cons together.
We also check your current water heater to ensure it can handle a larger volume of water.
If needed, we can discuss upgrading your plumbing lines so the tub fills up quickly.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that your new system works perfectly from day one.
First, our skilled team carefully extracts your existing cast iron or fiberglass tub. We take great care not to damage your surrounding walls, flooring, or existing plumbing. This step requires muscle and precision, but we handle all the heavy lifting for you.
Next, we inspect the subfloor underneath to check for any hidden water damage or rot.
Fixing these issues before putting in the new unit prevents major headaches down the road.
We believe in doing the job right the first time so it lasts for decades.
Once the space is clean, we align the new drains and install heavy-duty leveling legs. This ensures the unit sits perfectly flat, which is critical for proper door sealing. We then connect the high-flow faucets and test every joint for leaks.
After that, we seal the edges with high-grade, mold-resistant silicone caulk.
This keeps moisture from getting behind your walls and causing mold growth.
You are left with a beautiful, clean finish that looks like it was always part of your home.
Attempting to install one of these heavy, complex systems on your own often leads to disaster.
The electrical wiring for the hydrotherapy jets must comply with strict safety codes to prevent shocks.
One small mistake with the heavy door seal can also cause massive water damage to your ceilings.
By hiring our local team, you protect your home and ensure your warranty remains valid.
We have the specialized tools and experience needed to complete the job in just a day or two.
This saves you weeks of frustration and keeps your home clean and functional.
We also take care of disposing of your old bathtub, saving you a trip to the local dump.
Our crew cleans up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools.
You can just sit back, relax, and look forward to your very first soak.

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 Willmar.
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.
