Safe Step Walk-In Tub Reviews

Safe Step offers three different safe bathing options: a walk-in tub, a walk-in shower and a hybrid tub. All walk-in tubs and showers from Safe Step come with a 4-inch step-in height for easy access.

Safe Step does not list pricing for its products on the website. However, many reviews on our site mention that a Safe Step walk-in tub costs around $20,000 with installation. Walk-in tub prices vary depending on the model you choose and the difficulty of installation. Safe Step walk-in tub specialists treat each transaction as a custom job because of the differences in tub features and installation needs. You need to call or fill out a form online to receive a custom quote.

Some things that affect installation quotes include:

• Space requirements
• Plumbing
• Heating
• Electricity

Additionally, the tub’s size, hydrotherapy features, door design, and types of accessories and digital capabilities can affect the cost of installation.

Representatives perform a free in-home consultation and provide a quote. Safe Step walk-in tubs come in three sizes (standard, compact and large) but can be adapted to fit smaller and larger spaces. There are several different walk-in tubs and financing options available to meet the needs of people with varying degrees of mobility and budgets.

Discounts

Safe Step offers several discounts to reduce the price of your walk-in tub:

Safe Step's luxury features

All Safe Step walk-in tubs and showers offer several therapeutic benefits. The units provide hydro jet water therapy, chromotherapy, aromatherapy, air therapy and a dual hydrotherapy massage. There’s also a built-in bidet that's part of the personal hygiene therapy system.

Two of Safe Step’s standout luxury comfort features are its Dual Hydrotherapy Massage System and its MicroSoothe Air Therapy System.

• The Dual Hydrotherapy Massage System combines adjustable whirlpool and air massage hydrotherapy jets to release tension and help soothe aching joints and muscles. Dual hydrotherapy can help provide symptomatic relief for several conditions, including stress, insomnia, colds, lower back pain, arthritis and diabetes.
• The MicroSoothe Air Therapy System circulates tiny, oxygen-enriched bubbles throughout the Safe Step tub, turning the bath into a spa-like experience. The bubbles lightly whirl against the body and stimulate the skin, leaving it feeling silky and soft.
  • MicroSoothe technology gently exfoliates, hydrates and deep cleans dry, damaged and depleted skin by lifting out dirt and toxins from pores and infusing them with fresh oxygen. It also releases heat in the surrounding water through each popping bubble and helps keep the bath warm, which allows for longer soak times.

Safe Step walk-in tub installations are typically completed in less than one day. Here’s what the process looks like:

1. Certified installers arrive at your home to install your new walk-in tub. Before starting, they go over project details and specifications and answer any questions you still have about the process.
2. The installers remove your old shower or tub and dispose of the materials.
3. Safe Step then prepares your bathroom by addressing any issues with the subfloor or plumbing.
4. The new walk-in tub is brought in, leveled and installed.
5. The fixtures are installed.
6. Special panels, molding and trim are added around the walk-in tub to give it a seamless finish.
7. The certified installer will review operating instructions with you.
8. Final assessment and cleanup are performed by the installers.

Yes, we recommend Safe Step. The company’s walk-in tubs and showers are a great option for seniors aging in place, people with arthritis or mobility concerns and homeowners looking for a safer bathing experience. Safe Step offers a luxury bathing experience that includes safety features and comfort upgrades like low step-in heights and grab bars alongside hydrotherapy and spa-style options.

One downside is that Safe Step does not provide transparent pricing online. Its representatives determine pricing on a case-by-case basis, so you won’t know your total tub cost until you go through the free consultation. However, the company offers financing options, promotional discounts and a lifetime warranty on installed tubs and showers.

If you’re considering a walk-in tub, we recommend reading Safe Step customer reviews and requesting a free in-home consultation to compare features, pricing and installation options for your home.
