Why New York homeowners are upgrading to walk in tubs & roll in showers
New York homes come in every shape and size — from compact Manhattan apartments to historic brownstones, Hudson Valley farmhouses and suburban family homes on Long Island. The one thing they all share is a bathroom that was never designed with aging bodies and mobility challenges in mind.
Traditional bathtubs require a high step over a slippery edge, twisting and reaching for grab bars, and lowering your body all the way to the floor. For a senior with arthritis, balance issues, Parkinson’s or simply “slower feet” after years of hard work, that can feel like a daily obstacle course.
A modern walk in tub or roll in shower changes the story. Instead of bracing for a risky transfer, you open an easy-swing door, sit on a secure, chair-height seat, and let warm water do the work. You stay supported, stable and covered — with the door locked, seals engaged and grab bars right where you expect them.
For many New York families, the real benefit is peace of mind. Adult children can worry less when a parent lives alone upstate. Spouses can step back from hands-on lifting and guarding and step into more of a supportive coaching role. And seniors who once avoided bathing out of fear can enjoy a relaxing evening soak again.
Reduce bathroom fall risk
Low step entry, textured floor surfaces, and integrated grab bars dramatically reduce the most common causes of bathroom falls — especially in tight New York bathrooms where every inch matters.
Support sore joints & circulation
Hydrotherapy jets and warm, deep water help ease stiffness after walking city blocks, climbing subway stairs or shoveling snow. Many customers report less pain and better sleep on nights they soak.
Stay in your NY home longer
A safer bathroom can delay or prevent a move to assisted living. That means more years in the home, neighborhood and routines you love — whether you are in Brooklyn, Buffalo or Binghamton.
Flexible solutions for any bathroom
From compact 48–52 inch models for apartments to larger bariatric walk in tubs and roll in showers, we help match the right system to your exact New York bathroom footprint.
Our simple 3-step New York walk in tub process
You don’t have to know which brand, size or jet package you want. That is our job. We walk you through a simple, respectful process so you can make a clear decision without high-pressure sales tactics.
15–20 minute New York bath safety consultation
We start by learning about you or your loved one — mobility, balance, medical conditions, and what feels hardest about bathing today. We also ask about your New York home, from apartment access and co-op rules to basement stairs and narrow hallways in older houses.
From there, we narrow the choices down to a handful of walk in tub or roll in shower options that will physically fit and truly help. No endless catalogs, no confusing jargon — just practical solutions.
Custom options, visuals & transparent pricing
Next, we email or text you clear information outlining each recommended option. This includes features like hydrotherapy jets, heated seats, fast-drain systems and grab bar layouts, along with expected time frames and price ranges.
You can share this information with family members, doctors or trusted advisors. We are happy to answer follow-up questions and revise options until you feel confident.
Licensed installation or ship-to-your-door delivery
Once you choose your preferred solution, we coordinate delivery and installation. In many parts of New York we can provide a licensed and insured crew that handles everything from removing your old tub to final clean-up.
In areas where installation is not available, we ship the walk in tub directly to your home and work with your chosen contractor or plumber to make sure they have the right documentation for a clean, warranty-safe install.
Walk in tub NY pricing, expectations & popular options
One of the first questions New York homeowners ask us is, “How much does a walk in tub cost?” The honest answer: pricing depends on the size of your bathroom, the model you choose, and whether your project requires electrical or plumbing upgrades. Our promise is to tell you the truth about price ranges so you can budget realistically.
Basic soaker walk in tubs with limited extras can be significantly more affordable than deep, fully loaded hydrotherapy systems with air and water jets, chromotherapy lighting and heated surfaces. Apartment and co-op projects may also involve extra planning with building management, which we help you navigate.
We can also discuss ways to spread out payments and how some customers in New York mix personal savings, family support and potential home improvement financing to make the project more comfortable.
Soaker walk in tubs
Deep, comfortable soaking tubs with a secure door, built-in seat and grab bars. Ideal for New Yorkers who want safer entry and exit but do not necessarily need jets.
Hydrotherapy & air jet tubs
Combine heat, buoyancy and targeted jets to help ease joint and muscle discomfort — especially welcome after cold winter days or long commutes.
Roll in & low threshold showers
Barrier free or low-step showers for wheelchair users and people who find stepping into any tub painful. Available with seated and standing layouts.
Compact & bariatric options
Space-saving footprints for apartments and wider, reinforced models designed to support larger body types. We take real-world measurements so you know what fits.

Do you install walk in tubs across New York?
Yes. In many areas of New York we can provide licensed and insured installation crews that handle removal of your old tub or shower, installation of your new walk in tub, and final clean-up. In more remote areas, we offer ship-to-door delivery and provide documentation and guidance for your local installer or contractor.
What is the typical price range for a walk in tub in NY?
Pricing depends on the size of the unit, the features you choose, and how complex your bathroom is. A basic soaker walk in tub with minimal electrical work will cost less than a large hydrotherapy model with extensive tile and plumbing changes. During your quote, we outline a realistic price range and help you compare options side by side so you can invest wisely.
Can I keep my warranty if I use my own installer?
Yes. Many New York customers work with a plumber or remodeling contractor they already trust. As long as your installer follows the manufacturer’s written instructions, your warranty remains intact. We can share those documents and answer questions before work begins.
Do you offer roll in showers as well as walk in tubs?
Absolutely. Some New Yorkers prefer a roll in or low threshold shower instead of a deep soaker, especially if they use a wheelchair, walker or shower chair. We can show you both walk in tub and roll in shower designs so you can choose what fits your routines and bathroom best.
Can walk in tubs really help with pain and stiffness?
While everyone’s body is different, many customers report that warm water, buoyancy and gentle jets make evenings more comfortable, especially after cold commutes, standing jobs or long days caring for others. Walk in tubs are not a medical treatment, but they can complement the self-care plan you create with your doctors and therapists.
Is a walk in tub a good option for New York apartments and co-ops?
Yes, as long as we can safely deliver the unit through elevators, stairwells and hallways, and your building approves the project. We help you choose compact models that fit in tight bathrooms and provide documentation for co-op boards or management companies when needed.
How long does walk in tub installation usually take?
Most standard projects in New York take one to three days once the materials are on site. Larger, more custom projects — such as those involving new tile, flooring or plumbing reroutes — can take a bit longer. Your bath specialist will provide a realistic time frame before you commit.
Do you remove my old bath and handle disposal?
Yes. Full installation packages include removal and disposal of your old tub or shower and job-related debris. Our goal is for you to walk into a clean, finished space and enjoy your new walk in tub or roll in shower right away.
What if I am just starting to explore walk in tubs?
That is perfectly okay. Many New York families contact us months before they are ready to move forward. You can use your quote as a planning tool, compare options, and talk things over with relatives or caregivers. We are here to help, not to rush your decision.
