"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."

"Cayetano was such a great help! We have had a leaky shower for days now so we got around to taking time to hire a plumber and come help. Avila plumbing was here in no time fixing and getting our home back to normal! We are thankful for the work, the time and energy you put into the project. We appreciated the attention to detail and eagerness to really help us. The project was supposed to be small and quick and sure enough we have drywall coming out and Avila in the zone 4 hours in! We are thankful and definitely recommend their service. We have another project lined up as well."

"Ok looking for someone to remodel our house was hard work. Look no further. We got so lucky to find Bay easy construction the most amazing company that took good care us. We had and old kitchen and two bathrooms that needed work. In addition, all the interior of the house was painted and the old popcorn ceiling was removed. We also upgraded the electric system in the house and installed a new paneling. During the process Ofer advised to change the flooring and we went from carpet to tile and it made a dramatic difference for the best. Ofer gave us a tempting price to get it done and we are so happy we decided to do this. All the work finished for less than two months. Yay! Construction can be painful but this was a very pleasant experience. Ofer and Bay Easy Construction is a responsive, quality company that is concerned with customer satisfaction. Everyone was professional and friendly, and I felt that they really listened to what I wanted to accomplish with my dreams. By the end they felt like family that took good care of us during this process I am grateful to them. The work they accomplished was modern clean and really good quality. We are very happy with the results."

"I called late in the morning and spoke to Larry.  Initially said he could come on Monday but I asked if it could be sooner (the only shower/tub for 3 people).  He said he'd be over within the hour.....and he was.  I like to use companies that are family owned because my father was a business owner.  Larry, the owner, was very nice.  Since he has dogs, he didn't mind my little dog barking at him until felt comfortable.  I appreciated that.  He checked everything thoroughly.  Replaced two Moen cartridges and also did some caulking.  This is a 40-year-old townhome that pretty much has the original stuff so I was pleased he checked everything.  Larry was easy to talk to.  Didn't rush or make me feel like he didn't do everything he could.  I just love small family-owned businesses and was very happy the work.  The price included labor and the cartridges - very reasonable!

"Highly recommend! Brian did a fantastic job tiling our master bathroom shower. We used a herring bone tile for the floor and niche which required a lot of precision cuts and attention to detail. We also opted for a linear tiled floor drain which required a lot of attention. We also replaced the floor tile and it came out perfect. Brian is a perfectionist and it shows in the quality finished product he puts out. He was prompt, responsive, clean, and timely. He went above and beyond to ensure we received the shower we envisioned. Brian also helped coordinate with someone to come out and install my glass shower door. I will recommend Brian to all my friends and family."

FAQs for walk in tub installation and replacement projects in Santa Cruz, CA

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.
