    “Go with Kohler's products. I'm in the building industry, so I have knowledge of their products. I use them often. I installed one in my own home, so I would recommend everything that they make. This particular product was something I purchased for my mother. I wanted to get the best product that there was on the market and Kohler fits that bill.… The person who facilitated the scheduling and was very easy to work with. Called and told me they could get it done in a day. They showed up on time, and were very cordial people to work with. They were in and out in a day, which is phenomenal as well. We expected two days, but they were able to get it done in one day and everything works well. It looks phenomenal. Everything's on one level now and my mother is able to take a bath now and shower while sitting in the tub and do that all on her own. And she's a very independent person, so she still could maintain that with this product as well. She was amazed at everything that was available and that could be done.”

    “Kohler has a good name. Kohler's rep came and told us a lot of different things and it kinda sealed it right there. The rep was excellent. The installers were very good. They kept telling me what they were doing all the while they were doing it. I couldn't have asked for anything better and they cleaned up after themselves. Kohler is extremely professional, and we do like the tub a lot. My husband has neuropathy and he's very unstable and his feet are very unstable. So, I like the door because it's open wide like you can get him into the walk-in tub, and then it has a handheld shower. He's not afraid to get into it anymore. He was afraid to get into the shower even though we have a lower shower thing. And with the walk-in tub, he feels secure, so he can bathe often there. I'd tell others to do it.”

    “American Standard did an excellent job. We liked the toilets and knew they were the best on the market. One day, I was poking around online for more information, and five minutes later, they called me to set up a home visit. They came that Monday and told us everything.

    “I wanted a micro bubble tub and I did my own research. I had a couple of the TV ones come to the house and bid but I threw them both out. I bought it on Amazon and it was the best price. A plumber friend and I did the installation. The tub didn’t seal well on the door and it was my fault because the frame bent a little bit. I didn’t jack it up in the center enough, so the door was binding, closing, and then pinching the gasket. Once I talked to the service tech in Chicago, he straightened it all up for me. One adjustment and it was fine ever since. As far as functions go and everything else, everything in the tub looks great. It has for a year now.”
    KevinGreen Bay, WI
    “Their reps were helpful and they were great people to work with. The tub has all the features that (I wanted). It has the purifier for the water and two different types of circulation. I can control them and everything out of it is super high quality.”

      Green Bay 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 Green Bay

      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 Green Bay

      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 Wisconsin Department of Health 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.
