Walk-in tubs we've finished
Real walk-in tub installs. Every tub shown has a low-step door you step through instead of climbing over.
Contractor's tip: before you pick a walk-in tub, measure the doorway into your bathroom. We check that first so the tub comes in whole and the door opens on the side you need.
A real soak again, and no one has to help you in.
The soak is still deep, and getting into it no longer feels like a chore.
Daylight on the water makes this bath feel peaceful.
Light from above makes this little alcove feel peaceful instead of tight.
The open door makes the tub look welcoming, like it is ready for you.
This is a bath you can imagine using on an ordinary evening.
Under the window, the wide water feels like a real pause in the day.
The bright window opens the room, and the tub feels approachable.
A low door into a deep tub makes a real soak feel within reach.

Light. Jets. Bubbles. Heat.
Depending on the model, a walk-in tub can hold temperature with a water heater, run light therapy, run hydrotherapy, or combine all of them.
Walk-in tubs are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty on the tub itself; terms vary by model, and we’ll go over them with you before you buy. Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers our installation.
Light therapy
Color light in the tub to relax and lift mood.
Hydrotherapy jets
Massage jets aimed at sore hips, back, and legs.
Air-bubble system
Thousands of tiny bubbles. Gentler than jets.
We match the tub to how you actually bathe — soak only, or a combination of heater, light, jets, and air.
A door, not a climb.
Step in through a watertight side door instead of swinging a leg over a 14-inch tub wall.
Sit down. Soak. Add therapy.
A molded seat and grab bar come with the tub. Models add light, jets, bubbles, or a heater.
Same crew. Rebuilt walls.
We typically open the walls around the tub to the studs, set the tub, and finish in acrylic.
Licensed, local, veteran-owned.

All that white makes the bath feel bright, clean, and easy to be in.
You can see the whole tub from the doorway, and that makes the room feel honest.
From across the room, it reads as a tub you would be glad to have.
Bath time starts gently here, and the water is still deep enough to matter.
The curve of the tub makes the soak look generous, the kind of bath you show off a little.
A deep bath that feels realistic on a weeknight, not just on a good day.

The door is the difference
A walk-in tub has a door you open to get in and out. A regular bathtub, even with a grab bar, is not a walk-in tub.
The door swings open, so you step in instead of climbing a rim.
A real soaking tub, and the way in is a door you open.
The door is right there on the front of the tub, next to the sink.
Questions
Walk-in tub questions.
Do I need a permit for a walk-in tub?
We pull what's required for the work and tell you on the visit. CA Lic. B & C-36 #1139422.
Do you install walk-in tubs in Placentia and Orange County?
Yes. New Bath Co installs walk-in tubs in Placentia, where we're based, and across OC, LA & Inland Empire. Call (657) 650-6111 for a free in-home estimate.
How long does a walk-in tub installation take?
Walk-in tubs often finish in a day once materials are on site. Hidden rot or plumbing repairs can take longer, and we tell you that on the visit.
What warranty comes with a walk-in tub?
Walk-in tubs are covered by the manufacturer's warranty on the tub itself; terms vary by model, and we'll go over them with you before you buy. Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers our installation.
What brand of walk-in tub do you install?
Our walk-in tubs come from American brands such as American Standard. We match the tub to how you actually bathe — soak only, or a combination of heater, light, jets, and air.
What comes with a walk-in tub?
A watertight side door, a molded seat, a grab bar and a handheld shower come with the tub. You can also add a slide bar or holder for the handheld, so you can stand in the tub and use it as a regular shower. Depending on the model, it can also add a water heater, light therapy, hydrotherapy jets or an air-bubble system.
Can I finance a walk-in tub?
Yes. Monthly financing available through Acorn Finance for qualified buyers; rates and terms depend on credit approval.
Do I have to replace my tile to get a walk-in tub?
Not always. A walk-in tub can go in with your existing tile surround, so there's no need to replace the tile. If the walls need work, we typically open them to the studs and finish in acrylic, and we tell you which fits your bathroom on the visit.
How is a walk-in tub different from a regular tub with grab bars?
A walk-in tub has a watertight door you open to get in and out, plus a molded seat. A regular bathtub, even with a grab bar, is not a walk-in tub.
Will a walk-in tub fit where my old tub is?
A walk-in tub fits in the same footprint as your old tub. We measure at the free in-home estimate to pick the right model. On the before-and-after jobs on this page, the old tub came out and the walk-in tub went into the same spot.
Should I get a walk-in tub or a walk-in shower?
If you still want to soak, a walk-in tub gives you a real bath with a door, a seat and a grab bar. If you mostly shower, a tub-to-shower conversion gives you a low step-in shower with a seat, a handheld and grab bars. We can go over both at the in-home estimate.
How much does a walk-in tub cost?
It depends on the model, the features you pick and your bathroom. We don't sell set packages; we measure in your house and give you a written price.
Who installs the walk-in tub?
One licensed crew from Placentia, CA Lic. B & C-36 #1139422, handles the tear-out, the plumbing and the walls. If something is off later, you call the same crew at (657) 650-6111.
