A walk in tub or roll in shower is only as good as the person who sets the drain and seals the door. Our installers pass the manufacturer's exam with a perfect score, every job is audited, and you get a walkthrough before we leave.

Drains that gurgle, doors that weep, walls that flex, caulk that fails in a year. Almost every complaint we hear about walk in tubs and roll in showers traces back to a rushed or untrained install, not the product. National brands charge $25,000 to $30,000 and still send whoever is available that week. We charge well under $20,000 for most premium installs and send someone who passed the factory exam with a perfect score.
Most trades pass installers at 70 to 80 percent. Ours pass the manufacturer's exam on product knowledge, sequence and technical details with every question right.
The two things that cause 80 percent of callbacks are set by someone who has done it a hundred times, then tested with water before we leave.
Workmanship, seal integrity, drain function, trim, cleanup. No job is complete until it passes the audit.
How to use it, how to clean it, what to expect, and who to call. You are never handed a bathroom and a mystery.
Measurements confirmed, plumbing access inspected, doorways and hallways checked so nothing surprises anyone at 8 a.m.
Old tub or shower out, subfloor and drain inspected, walls prepared. Dust control and floor protection through the house.
The tub or pan is set level in both directions, drain aligned, supplies connected, door seal adjusted, walls sealed to the flange.
We fill it, run it, and check the door seal and drain under real water. Then the quality-control checklist, every line.
You use it while we watch. Questions answered, paperwork left behind, bathroom cleaner than we found it.

If a tub or shower we installed leaks because of our workmanship, we fix it and any damage it caused. In writing, on every installed job. Read the guarantee →
A door assembly, a sealed drain, 40 to 75 gallons of water and, on many models, jets and a heater. The door seal and the drain rate are set on install day and decide whether the tub is a joy or a chore for the next twenty years.
Pan slope, drain placement, waterproofing and threshold height decide whether water stays in the shower. A pan sloped wrong pools water and becomes the slip hazard you bought the shower to remove.
The installer knew exactly what he was doing. No fumbling around, no long delays. It was done in one day and everything looked and worked perfectly when it was finished.
Margaret T., verified customer, ColoradoI did a lot of research before committing. The fact that they require a 100% exam score and do a quality audit is what sold me. The install was flawless.
Verified customerThey filled the tub and tested the door in front of me before they left. Nobody else even offered to do that.

Many national brands run $25,000 to $30,000 for a fully installed walk in tub or roll in shower. We are nowhere near that.
Our options run from shower pans under $2,000 up to fully installed walk in tubs starting around $15,000. The final number moves with the installation, not with a sales pitch:
Most of the time we come in well under $20,000 fully installed with a premium walk in tub or roll in shower and the customizations you want.

A factory certified installer has been trained specifically on the manufacturer's products and installation requirements, and has passed a formal examination created by the manufacturer. At Aging Safely Baths, we require a 100% pass score on that exam — no partial credit. This means every installer who works on your project has demonstrated complete knowledge of the specific product being installed, not just general plumbing or remodeling experience.
Most certification programs accept passing scores of 70% or 75%, which means an installer can miss a significant number of technical questions and still be considered "qualified." We believe that standard is insufficient for a complex installation project like a walk-in tub or roll-in shower. A 100% requirement ensures there are no knowledge gaps going into your project. Every step in the installation sequence, every product-specific requirement, and every technical detail must be understood completely before work begins.
The quality control audit is a structured post-installation review conducted before the job is officially completed. It covers workmanship quality, door seal integrity, drain assembly function, leveling, trim and finish details, wall surround condition, cleanliness, and confirmation of the customer walkthrough. The purpose is to catch any issues — even minor ones — before the installer leaves the home, so that corrections can be made immediately rather than requiring a return visit later.
Most standard walk-in tub and roll-in shower installations are completed in a single day. We offer one-day installation service available nationwide. The exact timeframe can vary depending on the scope of the project, the condition of the existing bathroom, any plumbing or electrical modifications needed, and the specific product being installed. Your project coordinator will give you a realistic timeframe during the quoting process.
Yes — many walk-in tub and accessible shower manufacturers specifically exclude from warranty coverage any damage or defects caused by improper installation. That means if an untrained installer makes a mistake, you may have no recourse through the manufacturer's warranty. Using factory certified installers who follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your investment and keep your warranty intact.
