Homeward Bath does not currently offer installation services. However, you can hire a licensed plumber to remove and install your new bathtub. Keep in mind that demolition of an existing bathtub or any additional plumbing, electrical or construction renovation services needed will cost extra.

Homeward Bath's website shows easy-access tub prices range from $1,900 to $4,589.99. Occasionally, select bathtub models may be sold for discounted prices. The company also sells its products online through various retailers like Amazon and The Home Depot, so promotions and prices can vary by retailer.

Homeward Bath does not currently offer financing. However, retail stores may choose to provide their own financing for Homeward Bath purchases.

Most Homeward Bath walk-in tubs include a safety grab bar, with the exception of the Aquarite model. A safety grab bar can be useful for those with mobility issues, as it offers stability for getting in and out of the tub.

In addition, a molded seat, also available in most Homeward Bath walk-in tubs, can provide more comfortable seating than a standard seat. Molded seats are ergonomically shaped to fit the contours of the lower body. Some models have a hand-held shower too.

Homeward Bath has outward and inward swinging door options to fit an individual’s needs. Outward swinging doors are more beneficial for wheelchair users, while an inward swinging door is more secure and less likely to open when the bathtub is in use.

Also, there are a variety of jet options available, including air, whirlpool and nano hydro. Drain sizes are available in 1.5 or 2 inches; a larger drain will remove water faster. A fast drain can be beneficial to help avoid a bather becoming chilled as the tub fills and drains since a bather cannot open the door to the tub until it is completely drained.

The company also has optional upgrades available for additional costs, including a heated seat and bench.

The following table provides a comparison of the features that come standard with the following models of walk-in tubs:

We like that Homeward Bath has at least five walk-in tub models for under $5,000 each. Various sizes and door types are available to fit your space and your needs. On some models, you can even choose the jet and underwater lighting options.

Installations are easy and should only take a professional four to six hours to complete. However, buyers should consider the limited warranty when making the purchase.
