"Overall, went very well. Contractor met with me to carefully insure that he understood what I needed, and to also insure that I knew what materials and services would be provided. Workers arrived on-time, and were courteous. Work was performed in a professional manner, and results looked very good. (My only complaint was that, during the removal of the old tub, plaster dust was kicked up and not contained in the bathroom, resulting in a layer of plaster dust covering all surfaces of the house.) I am very satisfied with my new bathroom!"

"Martin's Home Improvement (MHI) did an excellent job. This was the third and final bathroom that we updated after buying a home in North Wilmington. The first two we had done by another contractor who did a great job, but was too slow with some minor problems we found later with electrical work. We decided that our final bathroom needed to be done in two weeks (not two-three months!) and at a good price. I reached out to four contractors and Martin's Home Improvement met our requirements. The project was completed in about two weeks - this was a complete job from gutting the existing hall bathroom to studs and replacing floor, walls, tub, sink, toilet, shower, tiles, mirror, lighting, and fan. They showed up everyday on time. The workers were very professional and skillful. I was home most of the time while they were working and so saw how careful they were to do the job right. Communication was great. Marcin texted back in a timely manner and dropped by the project often to supervise his team. I could tell they knew what they were doing and Marcin himself told me that he does 25-40 bathroom jobs a year. I bought the tile, vanity, sink, toilet, tub, faucets, fan, and mirror and MHI provided building supplies and paint. The price quote from MHI was for labor and building supplies. I would definitely use Martin Home Improvement again and will highly recommend him to others. MHI is dependable, fair, efficient, and the quality of work is excellent."

"Brian came to our home to do a tub to shower installation. He was very respectful and reviewed what he would be doing. The project was completed within the time frame we were told. Again, he reviewed what he had done and how to properly care for the shower. It really looks great and we are looking forward to using it. Thank you Brian and rite window team. Respectfully Leslie Greeley Brewster Ma"

"Omar is very professional, respectful and easy to work with. He takes pride in his work and is very reliable. He communiicates and does his best to meet your needs. In the beginning we told him that we wanted to remodel our bathroom and laundry room in time for a big party that we had comming up. Not only did he make it happen, but he did a pretty d*** good job! Our party guests loved the new bathroom so much, one of them even took a shower in it! Lol. I will definily use Omar again for future projects!"

"Bradley went above and beyond in helping me updating the plumbing in my old home. He very quickly identified many issues with little information from me and provided recommended next steps after just one walkthrough. He also went out of his way to explain everything he was doing in a simple and easy to understand way that really put me at ease. All of that at extremely fair pricing. I would highly recommend Bradley and I will be referring him to my friends and family if/when they need plumbing work."

FAQs for walk in tub installation and replacement projects in Bear, DE

Because Medicare classifies walk-in tubs as non-durable medical equipment, it generally won’t pick up the tab. Medicaid can help if a doctor certifies that the tub is medically necessary, but rules change by state. Call your plan early, ask which forms you need, and keep any prescriptions or letters on file to improve your odds of reimbursement.

A walk-in bathtub’s fill and drain times hinge on your home’s water pressure and the tub’s hardware. Most models with a fast-fill faucet need about six to eight minutes to fill and two to three minutes to drain; larger basins or standard drains can tack on an extra 10 minutes. Stay seated until the water is completely gone so you don’t swing the door open on a full tub’s worth of water.

A walk-in bathtub holds 50 gallons of water, and its design supports capacities that range from 40 to 80 gallons, depending on the product. In contrast, a standard bathtub holds 25 to 45 gallons. This capacity is determined by the fixed design of the tub and its construction materials. Homeowners should review the detailed product specifications to confirm the exact volume available for use during bath time.

Walk-in tubs are tax-deductible when the purchase qualifies as a necessary medical expense and meets the IRS criteria. Caregivers who install a walk-in tub also qualify for the Dependent Care Tax Credit under specific conditions. Homeowners must verify these requirements with the IRS and consult a tax professional, as state and program guidelines enforce strict documentation standards for such deductions.
