Walk-In Tubs | Home Mobility Solutions
Make bathing safer and easier with professionally installed walk-in tubs designed for low-entry access, seated comfort, and long-term independence at home.
A walk-in tub changes more than the layout of a bathroom—it changes the way someone can live in their home. For people with limited mobility, standing balance issues, or a heightened risk of falls, a traditional tub can become a daily obstacle. Home Mobility Solutions helps homeowners make their bathrooms safer with walk-in tubs designed for low-entry access, seated bathing, and greater independence. With over a decade of experience providing mobility upgrades throughout the Southeast, our team understands how to create accessible spaces without compromising the comfort and familiarity of home.
From product selection to custom installation, every step is handled by licensed, insured craftspeople who specialize in residential accessibility—not general contractors cycling through jobs. This is what we do every day.
Discover What Walk-In Tubs Offer
Most bathrooms were designed for people with full mobility. A 20-inch tub wall might not seem like a barrier to someone who can step over it easily—but for many older adults, that same surface becomes slippery, unstable, and risky. A walk-in tub resolves that problem by replacing the high wall with a low-threshold door, allowing the bather to enter the tub naturally, without shifting their weight or climbing.
The design also changes the bathing position. Instead of standing to shower or lowering yourself to the floor of a conventional tub, a walk-in model has an integrated, contoured seat at a height that supports the spine and hips. The bather remains seated the entire time, with controls positioned within easy reach. Many models include heated seating, hydrotherapy jets, lumbar support, and textured surfaces—all thoughtfully engineered to make bathing less physically demanding.Where a traditional tub focuses on aesthetics, a walk-in tub is built around access, safety, and comfort.
But that doesn’t mean it looks industrial. The units we install are finished to blend into a residential bathroom without calling attention to their purpose. For people aging in place, the goal is a bathroom that looks welcoming, not clinical.
Why Walk-In Tubs Matter for Comfort & Safety
According to CDC injury data, bathrooms are the leading location for fall-related injuries in the home, especially for adults over 65.
The risk isn’t limited to slippery floors—wet surfaces, awkward transfers, bending, and prolonged standing all contribute to instability. A walk-in tub removes many of those variables.
Instead of balancing on one leg, stepping over a ledge, lowering to the ground, and standing on a slick surface, the user enters at foot height, sits comfortably, and stays seated for the entire experience. Integrated grab points support steady movement. Pressure valves maintain consistent water temperature to prevent scalding shocks that can cause sudden movement or loss of balance.
For family members and caregivers, a walk-in tub also reduces the physical strain of assisted bathing. Rather than leaning over a standard bathtub—an uncomfortable and unsafe position for both people—the tub allows support without lifting or repositioning the person being bathed.
When we install a walk-in tub, what clients often tell us afterward is simple:“I can do this myself again.” That sense of independence is the real value—not just the hardware.

Our Walk-In Tub Process: Guided, Practical, Professional
Home Mobility Solutions has installed mobility upgrades in homes with tight bathroom layouts, historic plumbing, multi-floor locations, and rental properties that require coordination with building owners.
The process matters just as much as the outcome, especially when a bathroom is a critical daily space.
Home evaluation & planning
We start with a site visit to understand the layout, existing plumbing access, electrical requirements, and the user’s mobility considerations. Our team doesn’t rush through this step—this is where the right product choice is made, and where long-term comfort is determined.
Product selection built around need
There is no one “best” walk-in tub. Some clients prioritize hydrotherapy for arthritis relief. Others want the fastest drain system to avoid sitting while the tub empties. Some want the smallest footprint; others want deeper soaking. We explain the options in plain language so you understand how features translate to real use.
Turnkey installation with licensed tradespeople
Once the plan is approved, we remove the existing tub, modify the plumbing, set the unit, seal all joints for watertight closure, and finish the wall surfaces. All work is performed by licensed installers with experience in accessibility equipment—not subcontractors seeing the product for the first time.
Orientation & lifetime support
After installation, we test every system and walk through operation step-by-step. Our support continues after we leave—no call centers, no warranty confusion, just direct help from our team.
What Makes Our Walk-In Tubs Different
Because we specialize in accessibility, we select products for longevity rather than showroom appeal.
The tubs we install are built from reinforced acrylic or gelcoat composites that maintain surface integrity over years of seated use. Door seals are tested for repeated cycles, and controls are positioned to eliminate reaching or twisting.
Where many tubs sold through large retailers are marketed for luxury bath experiences, ours are chosen for stability, reliability, and user confidence. Features often include:
- low-entry thresholds with watertight doors
- molded seats that support posture without sliding
- slip-resistant flooring and internal grab points
- fast-fill valves and rapid-drain systems
- pressure-balanced temperature control
- hydrotherapy and air jet options for joint relief
The right features make a daily difference. A safe bathing experience isn’t defined by the presence of jets but by something much simpler: the ability to use the tub every day without stress or assistance.

Is a Walk-In Tub Right for You?
Most clients come to us when they reach a tipping point: bathing is becoming difficult, balance feels less certain, or a recent fall has shifted priorities.
Others begin making adjustments early because they want to stay in their home as long as possible.
Walk-in tubs are an excellent solution if you are:
- preparing your home for aging in place
- recovering from surgery or limited weight-bearing
- living with arthritis or joint pain
- supporting a spouse or family member with mobility changes
- renovating a home to be more accessible over the long term
We work with homeowners and with tenants, ensuring installations meet building standards and don’t create hidden issues that could complicate future maintenance. Our team serves the Lowcountry and can evaluate bathrooms of nearly any size.
