"When we moved into our current home, the master bathroom came with a very old jacuzzi tub that was no longer usable. We contacted Doug about removing the tub, and replacing it with a new shower. I was not sure how easily a shower would fit in that room, but he helped us design an acrylic walk-in along with a newly constructed wall that divided up the space perfectly. The installation was incredibly smooth as well. Our installers, Joe and Ryan, were professional, efficient, and kind. They went out of their way to consult with us throughout the process, and even helped us rehang a large mirror that they noticed was not properly screwed into the wall. We are really happy with the final product. It is spacious and looks beautiful, and makes the bathroom a hundred times more functional. I would definitely recommend Bath Planet!"

FAQs for walk in tub installation and replacement projects in Horseheads, NY

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.
