Hi, I'm Eric Pope, Regional Sales Manager at ZINTEX Remodeling Group. At ZINTEX, we believe everyone deserves a bathroom that's not just beautiful, but safe and accessible, too. That's why we're proud to offer our premium walk-in tub renovation service, bringing comfort, safety, and independence to the bathroom space. 

So, what exactly is a walk-in tub? 

Unlike traditional bathtubs that require you to step over a high wall, a walk-in bathtub features watertight doors and a low threshold entry, typically only a few inches high. This design eliminates the dangerous climbing motion that causes thousands of bathroom falls each year. Once inside, you'll find a comfortable full height seat, allowing you to enjoy a deep, therapeutic soak without having to lower yourself onto the floor of the bathtub. 

Who are walk-in tubs ideal for? 

Walk-in tubs are ideal for seniors looking to age in place, individuals with mobility challenges, those recovering from surgery or injury, and anyone concerned about bathroom safety. They're perfect for people who want to maintain their independence, have difficulty getting in and out of traditional tubs, are concerned about slipping and falling, want therapeutic benefits like hydrotherapy for arthritis or circulation issues, and plan to stay in their home for years to come. However, walk-in tubs may not be the right fit for you if you prefer quick showers, have extremely small bathrooms with limited space, plan to sell your home in the near future, are working with a tight budget, and can't invest in safety features. 

What features do walk-in tubs offer? 

At ZINTEX, we offer a range of customizable designs and premium features to match your needs and preferences. All of our walk-in tubs come standard with durable acrylic construction that resists chipping and fading. Easy entry with low threshold and an extra-wide door. Fast-drain technology for minimum weight times. Anti-slip flooring and seating. Interior handrails and easy-to-reach controls. Contoured seating for maximum comfort and a limited lifetime warranty on all products and labor. Optional luxury and therapeutic features to include hydrotherapy jets to massage sore muscles and joints. Chromotherapy lighting to enhance relaxation. Aromatherapy systems for a spa-like experience. Heated seating and back rests. Handheld shower wands for greater flexibility. And shower wall systems to match your bathroom decor. 

How much does a walk-in tub cost? 

We understand that budgeting for a bathroom renovation is important. While the exact cost of your walk-in tub will depend on the specific needs and chosen features, most of our installs range from 20,000 to $35,000, which includes premium walk-in tub unit itself, professional demo of your existing tub and shower, complete installation of tub unit, electrical upgrades if needed for jet systems, and additional accessories to make this a multi-function space. We also offer flexible financing options with approved credit for an affordable monthly payment.
