By following the simple steps below you can save thousands of dollars over companies that sell their Walk-In Bathtubs through high commissioned in-home sales people, costly showrooms, or fancy high-priced color brochures and postage.  These high-pressure and expensive sales tactics ultimately end up being paid for by YOU. 

At easywalkinbaths.com, we make it easy for you to invest in our Walk-In Bathtubs online, shipped direct from the factory to your front door.  The end result is that you get a superior product at an affordable low price.

The 5-Step Process

STEP 1)  MEASURE THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF YOUR EXISTING BATHTUB (or shower). 

Your new Walk In Bathtub will usually take the place of this existing bathtub (or shower).  Also, note if there are any windows directly above any part of the bathtub.  If so, measure the distance from the floor of the bathtub to the BOTTOM of the window.  Write down all measurements. 

STEP 2)  MEASURE THE WIDTH OF EACH DOOR (and each hallway)

Leading from your front or back entrance door of your home, through every door and hallway leading to the bathroom where it will be installed.  Write down only the width of each one that is 28” or less.

Any regular door width 28” or more is usually sufficient to allow any of our Walk In Tubs entry into your bathroom. (Note: For certain bathtub models, this may require a temporary door jam removal and replacement of your 28” doors and in some cases may require widening the doors to a minimum of 30".)

Note: Common door widths are usually 24 ”, 28”, 30”, 32” or 36” They may ultimately measure up to ˝ inch shy of any of these measurements.

If you have a 24” door width, by removing the door jams/frame you can get MOST of our models (except the Supreme Wide, Euro-Tub Wide, and Handicapped) through that opening.  Additionally, you may choose to widen the 24" door to a 28" door, or wider, if it is feasible.  This may also bring your door width up to current building codes and allow clearance for any walkers or wheelchairs.  Widening a 24" door can allow EVERY model in our line of Walk In Bathtubs to fit through your doorway.

STEP 3)  DETERMINE WHICH DRAWING BELOW BEST DESCRIBES THE CONFIGURATION OF YOUR BATHROOM.

Directly below Step 5 are some common configurations of existing bathtubs in relationship to the placement of the commode (or sink).  Simply determine which of the 8 bathroom drawings below best describes the configuration of your bathroom, and write down that number.

One of the reasons to include this step is that we need to determine whether to provide you with a LEFT mounted door or a RIGHT mounted door on the face of the tub, It is ALWAYS best to put the tub’s door where you have the most space available for easiest ingress and egress.  By selecting the correct configuration of your existing bathroom below, we can provide you with the proper door mount side (LEFT or RIGHT) specifically for you.

STEP 4)  DETERMINE WHICH WALL OF YOUR EXISTING BATHTUB (or shower) HAS THE FIXTURES

(i.e. knobs, faucet, showerhead.)  Determine this by facing the long end (length) of your bathtub standing outside of it.  You will find your existing fixtures on either the "left wall", "right wall" or "back wall" of the bathtub.

Based on your answers to Steps #2, #3 and #4 we can ascertain if a “reversal of plumbing” will be needed when the Walk In Bathtub is installed.  About 40% of the time, a “reversal of plumbing” is needed. With most models it is easy and simple to reverse the plumbing upon installation.
