How to Order a Walk-In Tub Online: Video Guide
Ordering a walk-in tub online works best when the person using it, the exact model and the bathroom are considered together. In this long-form video, That Tub Guy and Autumn Hultine of TubToday explain the ordering conversation and the information that helps the team compare options.
What to Have Ready Before You Call or Order
- The bather’s priorities: seated soaking, shower use, entry or transfer method, control reach and any assistance involved.
- Clear bathroom photos: include the existing tub or shower, toilet, vanity, room entrance and the proposed tub area.
- Measurements: record the fixture opening, doorway clearances, turns and the route from the delivery point to the bathroom.
- A model starting point: note the exterior size, door family, door side, drain location and options you are considering.
- Your installer’s information: identify who will verify the current drawing, room, utilities and project scope before purchase.
- Delivery details and questions: provide the complete address and access restrictions, then list anything you need confirmed in writing.
The complete pre-purchase checklist covers these decisions in more detail. Use the bathroom measurement checklist to organize dimensions for your installer and the Walk-In Tub USA team.
Three Decisions the Video Helps You Prepare For
Choose by person and room
A familiar nominal size does not establish seat fit, door clearance or transfer suitability. Compare the exact model with the bather and measured layout.
Put the configuration in writing
Record the full model, door and drain orientation, jetting package, faucet, accessories and included panels on the quote before payment.
Coordinate product and project
Separate the product order, freight service and local installation scope. Confirm who handles receiving, indoor movement, permits, connections, finish work and testing.
Compare Current TubToday 30×52 Door Configurations
These current product destinations show why the complete model name matters. They are starting points, not a finding that a model suits a specific person or bathroom.
| Product destination | Door family | Next fit question |
|---|---|---|
| TubToday 30×52 IS | Inward swing | How does the door move within the bathing area for this user? |
| TubToday 30×52 OS | Outward swing | Does the bathroom have room for the complete exterior door arc? |
| TubToday 30×52 WD | Wide transfer door | Can the chair, seat, transfer gap and helper position be aligned? |
Continue with the inward-door guide, outward-door guide or wheelchair-transfer guide. Verify every measurement and option against the current product page and model drawing.
Build a Model-Document Packet Before Payment
Your installer and the Walk-In Tub USA team should be looking at documents for the same exact model and equipment package. A document for a similar-size tub is not a substitute.
- Exact product page: save the URL and full product name shown on the written order.
- Current specification sheet: use it to confirm exterior dimensions, door orientation and the measurements shown for that model.
- Applicable installation or owner document: match the document to the selected therapy equipment and accessories rather than assuming every configuration has the same requirements.
- Written order and quote: keep the door side, drain side, therapy package, faucet, panels and accessories together.
- Policy documents: save the warranty, return/claims terms and delivery information that apply when the order is placed.

Before You Submit Payment
- Confirm the exact model, configuration, options and quantity shown on the order.
- Have the responsible installer review the current drawing, manual, room and delivery route.
- Confirm current pricing, availability, freight service and estimated shipment information in writing.
- Review the current warranty and return/claims terms rather than relying on a summary or older document.
- Save the quote, written answers, product documents and contact information together.
An estimated ship or arrival date is not the same as a confirmed appointment. Coordinate demolition and installation after the shipment status, inspection plan and installer schedule are settled.
Online Ordering FAQs
Can I buy the tub online and hire my own installer?
Discuss a product-only order with the Walk-In Tub USA team and have your chosen installer verify the exact model and project requirements before purchase. Obtain a separate written installation scope.
Can photos confirm which tub will fit?
Photos can identify useful questions, but they do not replace clear measurements, the current model drawing or confirmation by the installer responsible for the work.
Does the online price include indoor delivery or installation?
Do not assume it does. Confirm the freight service, unloading, indoor movement and installation responsibilities in writing for the specific order.
What if a video or older document conflicts with the current product page?
Pause the order and ask Walk-In Tub USA to confirm the correct model information and governing document in writing before payment.
