Walk in bathtub installation, Tulsa

For people who still want a bath

A walk-in tub is for one kind of person: someone who loves to soak, or needs to for their joints, and can no longer get over the side of a regular tub safely. You open the door, sit down at chair height, close it, and the tub fills around you.

It is not for everyone, and we say so. You sit in the tub while it fills and while it drains, which takes several minutes each way, and the door cannot open until the water is gone. Someone who gets cold easily, or who mainly showers, is usually better served by a curbless walk-in shower.

When a walk-in tub is the right call, the work is in the details: a model that fits the space and the doorway, enough hot water to fill it (the maker lists what it needs), the wiring its heater or jets need, and a floor that can carry it full. We remodel the bathroom around the tub, and the plumbers and electrician on our team handle the water and the wiring. If your water heater needs a look, our plumber checks it.

How we can help with walk-in tubs

Three situations we see most. Pick the one that sounds like yours, and the estimate starts there.

Replace a tub

A walk-in tub where the old tub was

Most walk-in tubs are made to fit a standard 60-inch tub space. We take out the old tub and surround, check the floor and the drain, set the walk-in tub level, rebuild the wall around it waterproofed, and add a hand shower so it doubles as a shower.

What comes with every walk-in tub

Close-up of a walk-in tub door with its watertight seal and latch handle, the built-in seat and a textured non-slip floor

  1. A tub that fits the space and the doorway

    Chosen with the way into the room in mind, because a walk-in tub has to get through the bathroom door before it can go in.

  2. Plumbing by our plumbers

    Walk-in tubs often hold 40 to 80 gallons and need enough hot water to fill them, per the maker's specifications. Our plumbers handle the plumbing side, and if your water heater needs a look, our plumber checks it.

  3. Wiring for heaters and jets

    Tubs with jets or heaters need their own protected circuit, wired by the electrician on our team.

  4. Old tub out, wall rebuilt

    The old tub and surround removed, the floor checked, and the new surround waterproofed, never green board.

  5. Grab bars and a hand shower

    Bars anchored to solid blocking where hands actually land, and a hand shower for rinsing and showering.

  6. A written 1-year warranty

    On our workmanship, with the manufacturer warranty on the tub, door seal and parts passed through to you.

Signs a walk-in tub might be right

  • Getting over the side of the tub takes a hand on the wall or a helper.
  • A warm soak is part of how you manage pain or stiffness.
  • You would rather sit than stand to bathe.
  • You stopped taking baths because getting out felt risky.
  • You can sit for several minutes while the tub fills and drains.
  • Your doctor or therapist has suggested soaking as part of care.

Walk in tubs explained, Tulsa

What to know before you buy a walk-in tub

Three things decide whether a walk-in tub works for you: how it is used day to day, how it compares with a walk-in shower, and what your house needs to run one.

Timeline of using a walk-in tub: step in and close the door, fill, bathe, drain, then open the door, with the bather seated the whole time
The bather stays seated from the moment the door closes until the tub has drained.

How it works, day to day

The part the showroom skips: you sit and wait while it fills and while it drains.

Filling and draining
Consumer guides report fill times of roughly 5 to 10 minutes and drain times from 2 or 3 minutes with a quick-drain model to 15 with a standard drain. The door stays shut the whole time.
The door
Inward-opening doors seal with the water pushing them shut; outward-opening doors are easier to get in and out of, especially with a walker, but need clear floor in front.
The seat
A built-in seat at roughly chair height, so you sit down and stand up instead of lowering yourself to the floor of a tub.
Jets and heaters
Air or water jets and an in-line heater add comfort and cost. Jetted tubs need their own protected circuit, and the VA does not pay for spa or Jacuzzi-type tubs.
Comparison of a curbless shower, a low-threshold shower and a walk-in tub for safe bathing
Three ways to bathe safely. The right one depends on how you bathe now and later.

Walk-in tub or walk-in shower?

The honest comparison most sellers skip, because the tub is the bigger sale.

Choose the tub when
You love to soak, a warm soak helps pain or stiffness, and you can sit through the fill and drain.
Choose the shower when
You mostly shower, want to be in and out quickly, or might use a wheelchair later. A curbless shower takes a chair; a walk-in tub does not.
Cost to run
A walk-in tub uses far more hot water per bath than a shower uses per shower, so the water heater and the bill both matter.
Resale
A walk-in tub suits a buyer with the same needs. If you may sell, keeping a standard tub elsewhere in the house helps.

Diagram of what a house needs for a walk-in tub: a doorway the tub fits through, a water heater about two-thirds of the tub's capacity, a dedicated GFCI circuit for jets and heaters, and a sound floor
Four checks before a walk-in tub is ordered.

What your house needs

A walk-in tub is a heavy appliance as much as a fixture. These are the questions to settle before you order.

Water heater
Many walk-in tubs hold 40 to 80 gallons. One consumer guide suggests a water heater of at least two-thirds the tub's capacity; ask the maker for the number. If yours needs a look, our plumber checks it.
Electrical
Jets and in-line heaters need a dedicated, ground-fault protected circuit, which may mean work at your electrical panel. The electrician on our team handles it.
Floor and doorway
Full, a walk-in tub is heavy, so the floor under it has to be sound; and the tub has to fit through the bathroom door to get in at all.
Paying for it
The VA can pay for changes a VA doctor prescribes for a medical reason, but not for spa or Jacuzzi-type tubs. How we work with the VA.

Walk-in tub reviews

What customers say

  • I hired Oklahoma Bath Professionals to redo my alcove shower. The results were way beyond my expectations. From start to finish the team were communicative, punctual, and respectful of my home. You can tell that they take enormous pride in their work. Hiring remodeling contractors can be hit and miss, and to be truthful I have been duped in the past by unreliable and poor workmanship. Oklahoma Bath Professionals are THE go-to company for remodeling. They will definitely be the first company I call for my next reno project! Thank you Joshua and Miguel!

Walk in tub questions, Tulsa

What families ask before they book

How much does a walk-in tub cost?

It depends on the tub, jets and heaters, and how much plumbing, wiring and wall work your bathroom needs, so we price it after we see the room. Our minimum job is $2,500 to $5,000, and our cost guide shows where bathroom budgets land in Tulsa.

How long does it take to fill and drain?

Consumer guides report roughly 5 to 10 minutes to fill and 2 to 15 minutes to drain, depending on the drain. You stay seated with the door closed the whole time, which is why we ask about it before recommending one.

Can a walk-in tub have a shower?

Yes. We fit a hand shower so you can rinse or shower while seated, and many tubs work with a fixed shower head as well, with the wall around them waterproofed.

Will a walk-in tub fit where my old tub is?

Most are made to fit a standard 60-inch tub space. Before you choose a model, compare its length, width and drain side with your tub space, and its size with the doorway it has to come through.

Does the VA pay for a walk-in tub?

The VA's HISA benefit pays for changes a VA doctor prescribes for a medical reason, up to a lifetime limit, and it excludes spa, hot tub and Jacuzzi-type tubs. Ask your VA doctor what they will prescribe. How we work with the VA.

Is a walk-in shower better?

For many people, yes: it is quicker, uses less hot water, and takes a wheelchair. A walk-in tub is the better choice for someone who wants to soak and can sit through the fill and drain.

Is there a warranty?

A written 1-year warranty on our workmanship, plus the manufacturer warranty on the tub, door seal and parts.
