Tub Types
When shopping for walk-in tubs, it's imperative to look out for ones that fit your budget and safety needs. Find A Tub partners with reputable companies throughout the country to provide the following types of walk-in tubs:
Soaker tubs are the least expensive option. They’re primarily for those seeking a more conventional bathtub experience with the safety and convenience of a walk-through-door design.
Aerotherapy tubs come with air jets that release bubbles into the water to provide a therapeutic bathing experience. They're recommended for individuals who have sensitive skin.
Hydrotherapy tubs have water jets that offer strong water pressure for deep pain applications. They’re suitable for people who need to soothe their sore muscles as they bathe.
Aromatherapy tubs include built-in infusers that release essential oils into the water to give a spa-like experience.
Chromatherapy tubs offer a variety of LED color options for those seeking a mood-enhancing experience to get rid of tension, anxiety, or stress.
Bariatric/wheelchair-accessible tubs feature a wider door and seat design to allow larger people and wheelchair-users to go into the tub more easily.
Pricing
The price of a walk-in tub can vary considerably based on size, brand, features, and installation. On average, walk-in tubs from Find A Tub's providers typically range from $4,000 to $9,000, plus the additional cost of installation.
Some extremely basic “soaker” tubs can cost as little as $1,500-$2,500, while two-person, jetted tubs, similar to a Jacuzzi that massages the body, can range from around $18,000 to $25,000. While, to some, these prices may seem extremely high, there are many factors to consider when installing a walk-in tub.
The cost of a walk-in tub is ascertained basically by its features and materials. For example, many inexpensive soaker tubs are made from fiberglass that's coated with gel. Acrylic tubs tend to be more expensive because they’re more durable.

Walk-in Tub Features
Walk-in tubs are a good option if you want to avoid the risks of using a traditional bathtub, such as slipping and falling, while maintaining your independence. Find A Tub partners with manufacturers that prioritize safety and convenience. Features on offer include anti-scald technology, anti-slip floors and seats, built-in grab bars, and low-height entry to help you stay safe as you get in and out of the bath.
Most traditional tubs take a long time to fill and drain so you might have to wait for several minutes just to take a bath. To save you valuable time, Find A Tub's providers offer walk-in tubs with convenience features such as rapid-fill and quick-drain technology, handheld shower attachments, and water-resistant controls.
For larger people or wheelchair users, you have the option to go for walk-in tubs with wide outward swing doors, safety grab bars, and contoured seats to enable you to slide into the tub with ease.
Finally, if you experience pain, muscle aches, or stiff joints, you can also find walk-in tubs that have massage jets and heated backrests/seats to keep you warm and help you relax as you bathe.
Walk-in Tub Installation
Find A Tub's local installers offer a convenient and worry-free installation process. Since most walk-in tubs work with standard sizing and existing plumbing, you probably won't have to do an expensive bathroom remodel.
During the estimation process, you'll be asked to specify whether you're looking for a walk-in tub installation immediately, within six months, or at any time.
Installations can take a day or two, depending on your location, the style of tub you choose, and whether you're replacing an existing traditional tub.
Once you specify a date, the installers will arrive at your house, measure the space for the tub, and evaluate plumbing and drainage needs. They'll also take note of water pressure and accessibility to the bathroom.
Furthermore, they'll assess the structural flooring in your bathroom to ensure it has a proper level and sturdy foundation for the new tub. They'll also remove your old tub for recycling so you don't have to worry about what to do with it.
Find A Tub's contractors will carefully install your walk-in tub to avoid causing damage to existing walls, cabinets, and fixtures in the bathroom.
Warranty
Find A Tub partners with several manufacturers that offer different types of warranties for their products. Some walk-in tubs come with a lifetime warranty that includes fixture replacement, additional parts, labor, and installation.
Depending on the tub you choose, you might also receive a limited lifetime warranty which offers coverage for any product or material defects. This includes workmanship for one year from the date of purchase, longer-term repair, or replacement of the tub for as long as you reside at the home of the installation.
However, warranties do not cover damage caused by accidents, misuse, or abuse. Ensure that you take proper care of your tub and follow the guidelines and maintenance instructions provided following each tub installation.
