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.

Choosing the right setup requires a solid look at your current bathroom layout and plumbing.
Initially, our crew measures your doorway and floor joists to ensure a perfect fit for the new heavy-duty unit.
This phase is crucial because these specialized enclosures hold much more water than standard models, meaning they need a rock-solid foundation.
Fortunately, our experienced installers know exactly how to reinforce your subfloor if things look a bit weak down there.
On top of that, we examine your hot water heater capacity to make sure you get enough warm water to fill the deeper basin.
Sometimes we recommend upgrading to a fast-drain system so you do not have to sit shivering while the water empties out.
Actually, most people do not realize that retrofitting a door-entry bath involves precise sealing techniques to prevent absolute chaos on your bathroom floor.
Because of this, we use advanced multi-layer silicone barriers and heavy-duty brass hinges that stay watertight for decades.
We tackle the tough work so you can just sit back, relax, and look forward to your first safe soak.
Every single home has its own quirks, especially when we talk about older houses near the Savannah River area.
For instance, we often need to widen the supply lines from a half-inch to a three-quarter-inch pipe.
This simple change lets your new basin fill up twice as fast, saving you from waiting around in the cold.
Additionally, we install ADA-compliant grab bars directly into the wall studs surrounding your new unit.
This provides a sturdy anchor point that supports your full weight whenever you stand up or sit down.
We also integrate hand-held shower wand systems so you can wash your hair easily while seated.
| System Feature | Concrete Benefit for You |
|---|---|
| Low-threshold entry | Eliminates the dangerous step over high tub walls, preventing nasty falls. |
| Contoured built-in seat | Allows you to bathe comfortably from a safe, stable, upright position. |
| Fast-drain technology | Empties the water quickly so you can exit the basin without catching a chill. |
| Safety grab bars | Provides solid handholds for effortless standing and sitting balance. |
Living on a beautiful barrier island in Chatham County means dealing with high humidity and unique coastal housing styles.
With a local population of 15,391 residents, many of our neighbors are planning to age in place gracefully.
Since the median household income here sits comfortably at $76,845, investing in home safety is a smart way to protect your property value.
Whether your home is in the 31410 area or nearby pocket neighborhoods, we know the local building codes inside and out.
Which is why we handle all the permits and inspections ourselves without bothering you with the boring paperwork.
We treat your home with the utmost respect, cleaning up every speck of dust before we pack up our tools.
Honestly, we love driving past the local marshes knowing we helped another family stay safe in their own home.
Our reputation means everything to us, which is why we never cut corners on waterproofing or electrical grounding.
You can trust us to deliver a gorgeous, functional upgrade that looks like a natural extension of your master suite.
Not all easy-access units are built the same way, so we guide you through the selection process step-by-step.
For example, some models feature inward-swinging doors, which are fantastic for saving space in tight, compact bathrooms.
Conversely, outward-opening doors offer much more room for transfers, making them ideal if you use a wheelchair or walker.
Besides the door style, you can choose from various seat heights and heated backrests to maximize your physical relaxation.
We also offer models with air jets that gently massage sore muscles and stiff joints after a long day of yard work.
We help you balance these luxurious upgrades with your budget to find the ultimate setup for your household.
Let us be completely honest about what to expect during the demo and construction process.
Replacing a traditional bathing fixture is a major job that usually takes about two to three days of active work.
We must remove your old cast iron or fiberglass tub, which can get noisy and dusty for a few hours.
To minimize the mess, we seal off the workspace with thick plastic sheeting and use specialized floor runners.
This keeps your carpets clean and protects your hardwood floors from scratches and heavy foot traffic.
We also haul away your old bulky fixture at no extra charge, saving you a trip to the local landfill.
Once the new acrylic shell is bolted down, we run multiple water tests to verify that every seal is 100% watertight.
We never rush this testing phase because a single leak behind a wall can cause mold issues down the road.
Only after we are completely satisfied with the water flow and structural stability do we hand over the keys to your new oasis.
Keeping your new easy-access basin clean is actually much simpler than scrubbing a deep, traditional tub.
Because the high-grade acrylic resists mold and soap scum, you only need a quick wipe with a soft cloth.
This saves your back and knees from painful kneeling sessions on the hard bathroom tile floor.
Furthermore, we show you how to inspect the rubber door gaskets once a month to keep them free of debris.
By spending just two minutes wiping down the seal, you guarantee that the door remains completely leak-free for years.
We also walk you through the simple control panel operations so you feel totally confident using your new system.
Waiting for an accident to happen before you upgrade your bathroom is a risky game that you do not need to play.
Our friendly team is ready to visit your home, look at your plumbing, and give you an honest, upfront price quote.
We promise not to use any pushy sales tactics or confusing jargon.
We believe in transparent pricing because we want you to make the best decision for your family's safety.
Which means you get a detailed written proposal covering labor, materials, cleanup, and warranty protections.

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 Wilmington 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.
