A walk-in tub is a good option for Knoxville homeowners looking to make bathing safer, more comfortable and more therapeutic.

A walk-in tub makes bathing easier, especially for older adults and people with disabilities. A traditional tub can make bathing difficult for older adults and people with disabilities or mobility concerns.

A walk-in tub offers easier accessibility than a traditional tub, so there’s less chance of slipping and falling than with a traditional bathtub.

 Knoxville homeowners who suffer from arthritis, diabetes, fibromyalgia or can benefit from the therapeutic effects of a walk-in tub.

A high quality walk in safety tub can cost significantly more than traditional bathtubs because of the extra work involved.

When looking for professional walk in tub installations in Knoxville make sure to understand exactly what your home improvement contractor is including in their cost estimates. Some homes, particularly older ones, may also need updated plumbing systems and  new dedicated electrical circuits installed before you can install a walk-in tub.

Sometimes updated plumbing and electrical circuits can involve cutting, patching and painting drywall outside the bathroom in other areas of the home to access  and install these updates. You’ll want to make sure your contractor is including all this in the estimate if applicable.
