Frequently Asked Questions
How long does walk-in tub installation take?
Most walk-in tub installations are completed within one to two days depending on the plumbing work and bathroom modifications required.
Do you have to sit in the tub while it fills and drains?
Yes. Walk-in tubs are filled after entering and drained before exiting, which is why fast-fill and fast-drain systems are popular upgrade options.
Are walk-in tubs covered by insurance or Medicare?
Coverage varies depending on the insurance provider and policy. Some long-term care policies or Medicaid programs may provide partial assistance.
Can a walk-in tub fit in my existing bathroom?
In many cases, yes. Most walk-in tubs are designed to fit within standard bathtub spaces. We confirm measurements during the consultation process.
Are walk-in tubs only for seniors?
No. Walk-in tubs are beneficial for anyone seeking improved safety, easier accessibility, or therapeutic bathing features.
How much maintenance does a walk-in tub require?
Walk-in tubs are relatively low maintenance. Regular cleaning, occasional jet maintenance, and periodic inspection of the door seal help keep the tub performing properly.
