How to Buy a Walk-In Tub
You can purchase a walk-in tub online, shop brick-and-mortar home improvement stores or work with a walk-in tub specialist who visits your home. The best choice for you depends on your budget, timeline and desired features.
Shopping in-store is beneficial for those who want a closer look at the walk-in tub features or want to have a tub in their home as soon as possible. Note that depending on the store you visit, supply may be limited, and the store may charge extra to deliver the tub to your home if needed. Ask a store associate about the delivery and installation options offered.
When you buy a walk-in tub directly from the manufacturer, such as Safe Step, you receive more personalized support before, during and after your purchase. Because of this, the total price you pay may be higher than the prices you see online or at home improvement stores. After you request a quote from a walk-in tub manufacturer, a trained specialist will visit your home to take measurements and assess your bath space to determine your custom price. With manufacturers such as Safe Step, the price you pay includes installation by manufacturer-trained professionals and a lifetime warranty.
