The right bathroom setup is key to creating a safe and accessible home. Whether you look forward to a warm bath each day or you have an aging loved one in your home who needs assistance bathing, we can help!
Traditional bathtubs are difficult for seniors and people with limited mobility to use because of the walls, which can be a tripping hazard.
The walk-in tubs offered by Watters Plumbing feature doors and seating, making them safe and easy to use.

What Are the Benefits of a Walk-In Tub?
Safety Features.
The biggest differences between a walk-in tub and a standard bathtub are the easy-access wide doors and in-tub seats. This eliminates the need to lift legs over the side, minimizing the risk of injury from slipping. Learn more about aging-in-place bathroom features.
Less strain on the body.
For aging seniors and people with injuries and limited mobility, lowering in and out of the tub can be an incredibly painful and uncomfortable experience. Walk-in baths minimize strain and stress on your joints and muscles, so you can actually enjoy bathing again.
High Quality.
Our walk-in tubs are made with the thickest material in the industry and are built to withstand the wear and tear of daily use.
Low maintenance.
Walk-in bathtubs are made with a non-porous material which helps prevent the buildup of dirt, grime, mold, and mildew. That means you can spend less time cleaning your new walk-in tub and more time relaxing in it. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind your tub is clean.
Good investment.
A walk-in-tub is an investment in your health and home that will pay off for years. It increases safety by reducing slip and fall hazards. This may save you money on potentially costly medical bills.
Backed by strong warranties.
We offer one of the best warranties in the industry, including a 5-year warranty on the shell of the tub, door, and seal and 2 years on the other walk-in tub components. The Good Housekeeping seal of approval also gives your walk-in tub an extra level of warranty protection.
Wheelchair Accessible.
You can choose a wider tub with a door that swings outward. This makes it easy for bathers to open the door and slide into the tub. This is also a convenient (and back-saving) feature for caregivers helping to bathe aging adults, individuals with disabilities, or others with mobility issues.
