Guide to Finding a Contractor for Your Walk-In Bathtub Installation

Thank you for your interest in a new walk-in bathtub! To help make the installation process smooth, we’ve created a simple guide to finding the right contractor for your project. Follow the steps below, and soon, you’ll have a safe and accessible bathing solution in your home.

Step 1: Searching for Contractors

You’ll need to find a contractor who offers plumbing, electrical, and finishing services. To do this:

  1. Open a search engine on your phone or computer (such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo).
  2. Type in “walk-in bathtub installation contractor near me” or “plumbing and electrical contractor near me.”

    PRO TIP: You are looking for local contractors, not “walk in bathtub companies” they will never leave youalone, sales calls will never end, good examples might be “Bob’s Plumbing and Electrical or 123 Plumbing andMechanical” Also, do not fill out web forms, only make phone calls. Do not use Angie’s List or Thumbtack.

  3. Look for companies with good reviews or ratings and contact them directly.

Step 2: Asking the Right Questions

When you call or meet with a contractor, it’s important to ask these questions to make sure they can handle your project:

1. Question 1:
“I ordered a new walk-in bathtub and would like to have it installed. Do you offer this service?”

2. Question 2:
“The bathtub project will include removing my old tub or shower, installing the plumbing and electrical connections
for the new unit, and finishing any work on the walls. Can you handle all of these tasks?”

3. Question 3:
“Do you offer a warranty on your work to ensure everything is done correctly?”

4. Question 4:
“When can you come to my home to give me a quote? I have all the specifications and installation requirements ready
for you.”

Additional Tips

  • Be Prepared: Have your walk-in bathtub specifications and installation instructions handy when the contractor visits. This will make it easier for them to give you an accurate estimate.
  • Compare Quotes: It’s a good idea to contact at least two or three contractors to compare prices and services.
  • Check Reviews: Look up reviews online to see what other customers say about their work.
