Start here

The right choice starts with how you bathe, not with a brochure

Most people who call us have the same worry: the tub wall has started to feel like a hurdle. Maybe a knee or hip makes the step-over risky. Maybe getting up from the bottom of a regular tub takes two tries. Maybe you are helping a parent who uses a walker.

Before comparing brands, answer three questions. Can you sit and stand from a chair-height seat on your own? Can you step over a few inches without help? Do you want to soak, or just get clean safely? Those answers point you to a walk-in tub, a roll-in shower or a combination, far better than any sales sheet.

Not sure? Our two-minute Fit Check asks those questions, checks your measurements and tells you what usually fits.

What we install

Four manufacturers, matched to your bathroom

Aging Safely Baths has supplied and installed accessible bathing since 2012. We carry products from four makers, so the recommendation follows your space and your body, not a single catalog.

Ella’s Bubbles

Walk-in tubs in several sizes and door styles. Aging Safely Baths is an Ella’s Bubbles dealer.

Hydro Dimensions

Walk-in tubs, from simple soakers to models with hydrotherapy options.

Bestbath and RANE

Accessible bathing products from Bestbath, including the RANE by Bestbath line.

Meditub

Walk-in tubs in a range of sizes and styles.

Ask which models fit your measurements. Not every model suits every home, and your written quote names the exact brand and model before you decide.

Why it matters

The tub and shower are where bathroom injury rates run highest

1 in 4

adults 65 and older fall each year, and fewer than half tell their doctor.

81%

of bathroom injuries treated in U.S. emergency rooms were caused by falls, with the highest injury rate in or around the tub or shower.

84.5%

of trauma injuries among Arizonans older than 65 in 2023 were falls, according to the state trauma report.

76%

of adults 50+ want to stay in the home they live in now.

Built for Arizona

What Arizona homes need that brochures never mention

Hard water. Phoenix water runs about 9 to 20 grains of hardness per gallon, which leaves scale in jets, heaters and drain valves. We help you choose air jets, cleaning cycles and a softener so your tub keeps working. Read the hard-water guide.

Summer heat. In July the "cold" line can come out near 100 degrees, so a bath can run warmer than you expect. A fast-drain system and the right water-heater setting matter more here than in most states.

Licensed installers. Arizona requires an ROC-licensed contractor for nearly every tub or shower job. Ask any installer, including ours, for the license number and check it in a minute online. Here is how.

Sources: Phoenix water hardness, City of Phoenix 2024 report via tapwater.org; 12News on summer tap temperatures.

Fast drain

Dual drains empty the tub quickly so you are not sitting while it cools.

Air jets

Air systems tolerate hard water better than water jets and are easy to purge.

Anti-scald valve

Holds a steady, safe temperature, even when the water heater is set high.

How it works

Four calm steps, no pressure

  1. Talk it through. Call or send the form. We ask how you bathe, who uses the bathroom and what worries you most.
  2. Measure. We check the space and the path from the door to the bathroom, from photos or a visit.
  3. Written quote. You get the model, the price and the timeline in writing. Take as long as you like.
  4. Delivery or install. We install it, often in as little as a day, or ship it supply-only to your contractor.

Paying for it in Arizona

Who might help pay, and who usually will not

Most Arizona families pay for a walk-in tub or shower themselves. Some get real help. Here is the honest short version, with the official sources.

Original Medicare

Generally does not pay for walk-in tubs, shower conversions or grab bars. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer a small home-safety benefit; call the number on your card.

VA HISA grant

Eligible veterans can ask a VA physician to prescribe medically needed bathroom changes. Lifetime limits are $6,800 for service-connected needs or a 50%+ rating and $2,000 for other enrolled veterans.

ALTCS

Arizona’s Medicaid long-term care program can cover home modifications when a case manager adds them to your service plan. Accessible showers fit that policy better than tubs.

Area Agencies on Aging

Eight regional agencies serve every county. Some offer small home repair or adaptation funds, caregiver respite and in-home help. Funds are limited, so call early.

Family caregiver help

The Family Caregiver Support Program and the Arizona Caregiver Coalition (888-737-7494) help the people who assist a parent or spouse with bathing.

Medical expense deduction

Some medically needed home changes can count as medical expenses under IRS rules. Ask a tax professional before you count on it.

Before you sign anything

Ten questions to ask any Arizona installer

Use these with us or with anyone else. A good company answers every one in writing.

  1. What is your Arizona ROC license number? Then look it up at roc.az.gov and confirm the name matches the quote.
  2. Which brand and model, exactly? The quote should name the manufacturer, model and size.
  3. Is the price itemized? Product, removal, plumbing, electrical, wall and tile work listed separately.
  4. Does it need new electrical circuits? Jets and heaters usually do; soaking-only tubs do not.
  5. Will it fit through my doors? Ask how the path from the truck to the bathroom was measured.
  6. How does it handle hard water? Air or water jets, cleaning cycles and drain valve care.
  7. What do the warranties cover? Get the manufacturer’s and the installer’s terms in writing.
  8. What happens to the old tub? It should be hauled away, not left at the curb.
  9. What does my HOA or park need? License, insurance, gate registration and work hours.
  10. Can I take time to decide? The answer should be yes, with no expiring “today only” price.

FAQ

Walk-in tubs in Arizona, answered

Do you install walk-in tubs everywhere in Arizona?

Yes. Our factory-certified installers work statewide, from the Phoenix metro and Tucson to Prescott, Flagstaff, Yuma and Lake Havasu City. If you would rather use your own contractor, we ship the tub or shower supply-only to your home.

How long does installation take?

Many walk-in tub and roll-in shower installs are done in as little as one day once the product arrives. Older plumbing, tile repairs or wall changes can add time, and we tell you that up front in your written quote.

Does Medicare pay for a walk-in tub in Arizona?

Original Medicare generally does not cover walk-in tubs or shower conversions. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer limited home-safety benefits, so call the number on your card. Veterans may qualify for VA grants, and ALTCS members can ask about a roll-in shower through their case manager.

Is a walk-in tub or a roll-in shower better for me?

If you use a wheelchair or struggle to step over anything, a roll-in shower is usually safer because it has no step. If you can sit and stand from a chair and you love to soak, a walk-in tub is built for you. Our free Fit Check walks you through it in two minutes.

Will Arizona hard water damage a walk-in tub?

Hard water leaves scale in jets, heaters and drain valves over time, and Phoenix water is hard. Simple cleaning cycles, air jets instead of water jets, and a water softener keep a tub working well for years.

Do I have to sit through a sales presentation?

No. You can get a written quote by phone, from photos, or at a measurement visit if you want one. Take your time, ask questions and compare. Calling us never obligates you to anything.

How do I check that an installer is licensed in Arizona?

Arizona contractors are licensed by the Registrar of Contractors (ROC). Ask for the ROC license number, then look it up on the ROC website to confirm the license is active and matches the business name on your quote. Our guide to checking an Arizona ROC license explains what to look for.

Which way should a walk-in tub door open in my bathroom?

It depends on your floor space and how you get in. Most walk-in tubs have an inward-opening door, which the water pressure helps hold shut. An outward-opening door gives more room for a wheelchair transfer or a caregiver, but it needs open floor in front of the tub, which some smaller Arizona bathrooms do not have. We look at your photos before recommending either.

Will I need an electrician for a walk-in tub?

Only if the tub has powered features. A plain soaking tub runs on your plumbing alone. Air jets, whirlpool jets, a heated seat or an inline heater usually call for one or two dedicated GFCI-protected circuits, as listed on the model’s spec sheet. In older Arizona homes and manufactured homes, a licensed electrician checks that the panel has room first.

Do I need HOA approval to replace my tub in Arizona?

Usually not for interior work in a single-family home, but many Arizona associations and 55+ communities set rules for contractor registration, gate access, work hours, parking and debris. Condos can be stricter because plumbing may be shared. Our HOA and 55+ guide has a checklist and a note you can send.

Can a walk-in tub go in a manufactured home or park model?

Often in a manufactured home, once the floor support, doorways and water heater are checked, since a filled tub is heavy. Park models usually have room for a low-threshold shower rather than a tub. See our manufactured home guide.

What happens to a walk-in tub during a monsoon power outage?

Jets, heaters and lights stop working. Many tubs drain by gravity and keep draining without power, but some use a pump-assisted drain, so check your manual. Keep a battery light near the tub and wait out thunderstorms before bathing. Our monsoon guide explains more.

Which brands do you install in Arizona?

We sell and install Hydro Dimensions, Ella’s Bubbles, Bestbath (including RANE by Bestbath) and Meditub. Aging Safely Baths is an Ella’s Bubbles dealer, and your written quote names the exact model before you decide.
