The average cost of installing a walk-in tub ranges from $2,000 to $14,000, depending on the type of tub, features, and installation requirements. Basic models are more affordable, while premium tubs with additional features, like hydrotherapy, can be more expensive.
Read our guide to walk-in tub costs by types, size and material.
To install a walk-in tub, your home will need to meet certain requirements:
- Plumbing: You will need to have a water supply line and drain available near the desired location.
- Electrical: A dedicated electrical outlet may be necessary for features like hydrotherapy or air jets.
- Space: Ensure there is enough space in your bathroom to accommodate the tub and allow for easy access.
- Weight capacity: The tub must be able to support the weight of the user.
While there aren’t specific government programs solely for walk-in tubs, some homeowners may qualify for tax credits or deductions related to home improvements that make their homes more accessible. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional or local disability services to explore these options.
Medicare generally does not cover the cost of walk-in tubs. However, if the tub is deemed medically necessary, some Medicare Advantage plans or other healthcare programs may offer partial coverage. It’s worth checking with your provider to see if they offer any assistance.
Walk-in tub installations typically take 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the project and any bathroom modifications needed. Straightforward installations may take less time, while custom tubs or more complex setups could take longer.
