Safety & Independence: We focus on converting high-risk tubs into low-threshold walk-in showers or replacing standard fixtures with the unmatched safety of Ella’s Bubbles dual-drain walk-in tubs. You choose your therapeutic features, from micro-bubble therapy to hydro jets.
Unmatched Quality: We utilize durable, beautiful surfacing materials, including high-grade acrylics and solid surfaces that eliminate grout lines, ensuring a low-maintenance, beautiful finish that lasts.
The cost of a specialized renovation is complex, but we break it down simply. Our tool guides you through the key decisions that drive the final price range:
The Fixture: Are you selecting an American Standard low-threshold shower base or a premium Ella’s Bubbles two-seater hydrotherapy tub? This is the foundation of your budget.
The Surrounds: Will you choose our signature FlexStone walls—a grout-free, low-maintenance option—or select premium designer tiles?
The Features: Costs are determined by the complexity of the safety additions: grab bar quantity, adjustable shower heads, built-in seating, and therapeutic options (like air or hydro jets).
The Scope: Will your project require moving existing plumbing lines (rerouting) or is it a simple 1-to-1 replacement?
