    “The salesman came out then the installers came in after and they did the tub install well and got out the same day. Everything went well and I like that.”

    “American Standard's rep explained everything to us and wrote up everything that same day he came. We understood everything he said and the installation went really well. The tech had a bit of a problem with the tub itself but otherwise, he was good. So far, I like the ease of cleaning it. It's one smooth surface which is really good to walk on. Also, American Standard did my warranty really well. I had a little warranty problem and they came right out and fixed it.”

    “The sales representative was very personable and gave us all the information that we needed. The two men who did the installation were exceptional. The tub is easy and safe to get in and out of. My husband who was having difficulty getting into a regular bathtub particularly likes the fact that he can get into it. This was a very satisfactory experience. We will be using the tub frequently especially as the weather gets cooler.”
    Marilyn Z.Lewisville, TX
    “Kohler is great. … They were most organized. I have a lot of work done. I'm 87 years old, and they're the best group of people that put the job. We have not had any trouble at all. They told us how to use it, too. My wife likes it. She hurt her knee and she couldn't step over in a bathtub, and she tried to just get around it. That was why we bought our Kohler. And she said, ‘I have no trouble. getting in or out, and I feel safe when I'm in it, and I feel safe when I try to get out.”

    “We bought the tub because my wife's arthritis in her hips and knees was causing her pain especially late at night and she simply could not stand and take a shower any longer without the fear of falling. The therapy jets have given her quite a bit of relief. The installation crew was on time, professional, and they were finished with the project in just one day. I am very happy with our purchase and feel like I saved about $2000.00 versus your competitors.”
    BillFrisco, TX
    “I can step into the walk-in tub from Independent Home and sit down and I like the therapy. I like those little air jets. It’s like getting a massage with water. I lay in there and I thank God for the decision I've made to go ahead and pull the trigger on getting it. … I’d highly recommend it to people over 50 years old that are still active and like to do a lot of walking, even younger people. If you have an active workout regime, your muscles do feel very tired and aching, and having the walk-in tub is like a miracle to your muscles. You’ll relax so well.”

      Dallas walk-in tub buyers guide

      Walk-in tubs are equipped with doors and seats that eliminate the need for a person to step over the tub wall. They’re particularly beneficial for older adults and people with mobility issues, but they can be expensive and require professional installation. They also take longer to fill and drain than a standard tub.

      Key insights

      Walk-in tub installation usually takes one to two days, though installation and labor needs depend on your current bathroom setup.

      Jump to insight

      You can expect to pay a few thousand dollars for a base walk-in tub model. Large-capacity and luxury models can cost up to $30,000.

      » LEARN THE BASICS: What is a walk-in tub?

      What to consider when choosing a walk-in tub in Dallas

      If you’re in the market for a walk-in tub, it’s important to think about the following for each model you’re considering:

      • Design: What are your preferences when it comes to door style (e.g., inward- or outward-swinging, slide-in) and jet types (air, water or a combination)? You’ll also want to think about the material — gelcoat and acrylic are common. Gelcoat is more expensive but longer-lasting, while acrylic is more budget-friendly but prone to dings and scratches.
      • Cost: Walk-in tub costs range widely depending on features and installation. You’ll also need to factor in potential plumbing or electrical upgrades.
      • Installation needs: Walk-in tub installation can be complex. It can take one to two days and may involve modifications like reinforcing the floor or widening doorways.
      • Size: Sizes vary, with standard tubs around 30 inches wide, 50 inches long and 40 inches tall, though compact, bariatric and two-seater options are also available.
      • Water capacity: Water capacity depends on the size. Standard tubs tend to use around 50 gallons, while compact tubs often have a 40-gallon capacity. Bariatric and two-seater tubs usually hold 100 to 120 gallons.
      • Comfort and safety features: Look for features like heated seats, textured floors, various grab bars and quick-draining systems. You’ll also want to consider seat height and door width for easy access. When it comes to comfort features, you might prioritize hydrotherapy jets for pain relief and aromatherapy for relaxation.

      Cost of a walk-in tub in Dallas

      Walk-in tub prices typically range from $2,000 to $30,000, depending on tub type, features and installation needs.

      Financial assistance for walk-in tubs

      While walk-in tubs aren’t typically covered by Medicare Parts A and B, a Medicare Advantage plan could potentially help pay for a walk-in tub. 

      If you’re a veteran, you may be eligible for VA grants that help pay for modifications like a walk-in tub. Medicaid may also help cover the cost of a walk-in tub in some cases — check the Texas Health and Human Services website for more information.

      FAQ

      Do I need to upgrade my water heater for a walk-in tub?

      You may need to upgrade your water heater for a walk-in tub, depending on a few factors. The main factor is the size of your current water heater versus the tub's capacity — most walk-in tubs require at least a 50-gallon water heater. If your water heater is smaller, you'll run out of hot water before filling the tub completely.

      It also depends on the type of tub you choose. Smaller, compact models might only need 40 gallons, while larger models (like two-person tubs) can require up to 120 gallons. Some tubs also come with built-in inline heaters that help maintain water temperature.

      Why are walk-in tubs popular among older adults?

      Walk-in tubs are popular among older adults because they offer safety features like low-entry thresholds, built-in seats and grab bars — all of which significantly reduce the risk of bathroom falls.

      These tubs help seniors maintain independence by allowing them to bathe safely without assistance, and they often provide additional therapeutic benefits (e.g., hydrotherapy jets and chromotherapy capabilities).

      How long does it take a walk-in tub to fill and drain?

      It’s typical for a walk-in tub to take six to eight minutes to fill and up to 15 minutes to drain, which is a downside for some bathers. Some models do feature quick filling and draining capabilities, however.
