Tips for Finding & Working with a Walk In Tub Installer

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010


Remain Active Walk in tubs sells factory direct, shipping straight to the end user. We pride ourselves in saving our customers money by cutting out the middle man. However, we are aware that at times this leaves the customer pondering how to go about having their walk in bathtub installed.
The process is actually quite simple and very much worth the money you’ll save by being your own contractor!
The first step is to ask friends and family if they have a plumber they would recommend. Word of mouth referrals are by far the best kind of reference! The second step is to make sure your installer is licensed AND insured; being a member of the BBB is also a great benefit to you as a consumer- but not a necessity.
The installer of your choice will need to come and measure your bathroom, hallway openings and bathroom door to determine which size of walk in tub you will require. All estimates and consulations should be free of charge and without obligation! If you choose to purchase a walk in tub with hydrotherapy, your contractor will need to be prepared to have two dedicated 15 amp circuits and need to provide a GFI outlet for the pump.
Each tub purchase is shipped out with installtion instructions,product manual and trouble shooting points.
Remain Active walk in tubs has free technical assistance for installers. Please feel free to call our offices at 1-800-397-1123 to request a free copy of installation instructions prior to purchase.

Why We’re Different Than The “Other Guys”

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I’m sure you know the story. In fact- this very well may be YOUR story…and it goes something like this….

Your parents see a commercial for a walk in tub company, they call the number on the screen, set up an appointment with a receptionist and then one of two things happen: the company representative never shows up for the appointment- or they show up and your parents can’t get the high pressure sales person off their couch without writing a deposit for a way overpriced walk in tub!!  Your parents give up in frustration. Over Sunday lunch they tell you about the rigamarole they went through;  you step up to the plate with your web-savvy internet searching- and wah-lah…you land on our home page and wonder- is this another one of  “those companies”?

Well, frankly the answer is NO! Remain Active Walk in Tubs  is  NOT one of the overpriced, high pressured sales companies who can’t give you a price without setting up an appointment to see your parents bathroom. We are NOT one of those companies that sends a salesperson to your home for a “free consultation” but won’t leave without a deposit. We are NOT one of those companies that have a sale you must ACT ON NOW in order to get the best price.  We are NOT one of the companies that stockpile chinese made tubs straight off a cargo ship and sell them to an unsuspecting senior citizen.

So, your concern for your parents safety, your eagerness to help combined with your internet savvy research has got you this far. You know what your NOT looking for- now, let me tell you why you’re mother is going to be so pleased you found us!

Remain Active Walk In Tubs  lists our pricing for all to see. Our prices are for everyone! Your parents can purchase their walk in bath tub from us at the same cost as their contractor!  So WHY are our tubs so much less than everyone elses? Because your buying directly from the factory. No hidden fees. No middlemen. No gimmicks.

What about installation?  ANY licensed plumber can install our tubs! “THE OTHER GUYS” sell you the tub and tell you that they’ll handle the installation. In truth what they’re doing is hiring contractors who hire sub-contractors and many times they will “import” installers to your local area to do the work. These contractors/installers are often times not local businesses and therefore you have a company that you’ll never see again!  These installers are often promised several jobs in a single town- therefore the salesperson that receives the deposit check will often just hire the cheapest installer who is lured to the project by the promise of several installs….the biggest concern is who can get to the job the fastest? Quality, reputation and service are often not a priority to the salesperson.   Now, you see why their price is so high! They have to pad all of these pockets!
We always suggest that you use a local, established and reputable establishment- and to be sure- make sure they have a good rating at your local BBB and ask for a list of references; since your so web-savvy it will be a cinch for you to find someone!

If you need assistance finding an installer- we’re always willing to help! Just to get you started here is a list of great resources.
