Installing a walk-in tub is a renovation
To get the best results, Seabridge strongly recommends an in-home consultation when considering buying a walk in tub. We do it all: custom manufacturing your walk in tub, installation and renovation, disposal of your old bathtub, and customer service years later.
There is no charge for the consultation, it helps you understand the work involved, it enables you to make a better decision, and we give you a firm, written price estimate.
 Installing a walk in tub is a renovation. We learn about your needs and you learn what's involved when installing your walk in tub.
