Same tubs, same crews, same one-day promise. What changes in Louisiana is the housing, the water, the permits and the money that helps pay. Here is the whole picture for New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Kenner, Bossier City, Monroe, Alexandria, Houma, Metairie and Slidell.
Louisiana homes and the bathrooms in them
Louisiana bathrooms are mostly slab homes from the 1960s onward, raised pier homes in flood-prone parishes, and a large manufactured-home stock; post-storm renovations mean many bathrooms have been rebuilt once already.
That matters because a walk in tub is chosen for the room as much as the bather. A standard 60 inch alcove takes the Hydro Dimensions 3060, Meditub 3060 or Ella Ultimate as a drop-in replacement, with factory extension panels closing any gap. A cramped bath with a 45 to 53 inch space takes the HD 2645 or Ella Mobile. A bathroom that will be used from a wheelchair is often better served by a Bestbath 60 x 30 roll in shower than by any tub, and we will say so on the first call.
Weather, water and skin
Heat and humidity nearly year-round; mold in grout and caulk is the constant complaint and sealed, one-piece systems are the practical answer. Hurricane season affects freight timing.
Mostly soft to moderate surface water; some north Louisiana wells are hard. Standard spec.
Regions we cover: New Orleans and the Northshore, Baton Rouge, Acadiana around Lafayette, Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana, and Shreveport, Monroe and North Louisiana.
Examples: 70112 to 70131 New Orleans, 70801 to 70820 Baton Rouge, 71101 to 71129 Shreveport, 70501 to 70508 Lafayette, 70601 to 70615 Lake Charles, 70062 to 70065 Kenner, 71111 to 71112 Bossier City, 71201 to 71203 Monroe, 71301 to 71303 Alexandria, 70360 to 70364 Houma, 70001 to 70006 Metairie, 70458 to 70461 Slidell
Every ZIP code in Louisiana is served. Installation availability for very rural addresses is confirmed on the first call.
Permits and code in Louisiana
The Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code applies statewide; parishes and cities issue permits, and a plumbing permit is standard for a tub replacement. Plumbers are state-licensed.
Either way, our crews pull what is required, install to the manufacturer's spec, and leave the paperwork with you. Our showers are ADA and ANSI A117.1 code-compliant models when that is what the job calls for, and every install is fill-tested with the door closed before we leave.
Paying for it in Louisiana
Louisiana's Community Choices Waiver can fund environmental accessibility adaptations; the Governor's Office of Elderly Affairs and the parish Councils on Aging are the front door.
Veterans: the VA HISA grant pays up to $6,800 (service-connected) or $2,000 toward a walk in tub or roll in shower, filed through Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System (New Orleans) or the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center (Shreveport). Build the itemized estimate the reviewer wants in four minutes with our planner. Everyone else: monthly financing, senior and veteran discounts on every order, and an itemized written price with no in-home sales visit. Medicare rarely pays, and we say so up front.
Install day in Louisiana, hour by hour
The crew arrives with the tub, the wall system and every fitting on the truck. Old tub out and hauled away, subfloor checked, drain and supplies roughed in, tub set dead level on its feet, connected, filled with the door closed for twenty minutes, walls and trim finished, then a walkthrough with the bather so the door latch, drain lever and controls are second nature before we leave. Full install-day guide →
Louisiana by the numbers
Many Louisiana bathrooms were rebuilt after a storm with standard tubs that homeowners now find hard to use, so a second renovation for accessibility is common here. Bathroom injuries send more than 230,000 Americans to the emergency room each year according to the CDC, and a large share happen climbing over a tub wall. A 3 to 7 inch threshold, a built-in seat and a grab bar are designed to reduce that risk when the tub is installed and used properly.

Louisiana walk in tub and roll in shower FAQ
Do you install walk in tubs in Louisiana?
Yes. Factory-certified crews install walk in tubs and roll in showers across Louisiana, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lafayette, usually in one day. Rural addresses are quoted case by case and can also ship supply-only with free tech support for your own plumber.
How much does a walk in tub cost installed in Louisiana?
Most fully installed walk in tub and roll in shower projects in Louisiana land between $15,000 and just under $20,000, itemized, with a $2,000 promotion and a $250 veteran discount currently applied. National TV brands quote $25,000 to $30,000 for the same job. Supply-only tubs start in the low thousands with free shipping to the lower 48 on many models.
Do I need a permit to replace my tub in Louisiana?
The Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code applies statewide; parishes and cities issue permits, and a plumbing permit is standard for a tub replacement. Plumbers are state-licensed.
What water heater do I need for a walk in tub in Louisiana?
Mostly soft to moderate surface water; some north Louisiana wells are hard. Standard spec.
Can the VA help pay for a walk in tub in Louisiana?
Eligible veterans can use the VA HISA grant, up to $6,800 for service-connected conditions or $2,000 otherwise. Our VA HISA Estimate Planner builds the itemized estimate in about four minutes, and Louisiana veterans file it with Prosthetics at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System (New Orleans). We are a supplier and installer, not the VA, and cannot determine eligibility.
Which walk in tub is best for Louisiana homes?
For the standard 60 inch alcove common in Louisiana, the Hydro Dimensions 3060, Meditub 3060 and Ella Ultimate are the most popular; small bathrooms take the HD 2645 or Ella Mobile; wheelchair users choose the Ella Transfer30 or Transfer60; larger bathers the HD 3555 Plus or Ella TransferXXL. Send a photo and we confirm fit before you order.
How long does installation take in Louisiana?
One day in most Louisiana homes: tear-out at 7:30, fill test by 2:30, walkthrough by 4:30. Tile work, moving plumbing or second-floor installs in older homes can add a day, and we tell you before work starts.
Do you ship walk in tubs to rural Louisiana?
Yes. Anywhere a freight truck can reach. Crated tubs ship LTL with liftgate delivery, free to the lower 48 on many models, and your local plumber gets the factory schematic and our free tech support. Hydro Dimensions even backs self-installs with a 1-year labor warranty.
Where we install in Louisiana
Walk in tub or roll in shower for a Louisiana home?
About a third of Louisiana families who call about a walk in tub end up with a roll in shower, and they are happier for it. The test is simple. If the bather can stand, step over six inches and pivot to sit, and someone in the house wants to soak, a walk in tub with a heated seat is the right buy. If the bather uses a wheelchair full time, or nobody wants a 20-minute bath, a low-threshold shower with a fold-up seat is faster to use, easier for a caregiver, and no more expensive. The middle path is a walk in tub shower combo with full-height walls, one bather soaks and the other showers standing.
For caregivers and adult children in Louisiana
If you are buying for a parent, bring them into the door and seat decision. The tubs that go unused are the ones chosen for someone rather than with them. Show them the schematic on the product page, measure their seated hip width and add two inches for the seat, and ask their physician or occupational therapist about water temperature, jets and the transfer method. An OT letter also strengthens a VA HISA or Medicaid waiver application. Our guide to door swings and sizes covers the five decisions that actually change the outcome.
What is included in a Louisiana installation
- Tub or shower system, faucet with 5 foot handheld wand, drain kit, overflow and extension panels
- Demolition and haul-away of the old tub or shower and surround
- Plumbing rough-in, set and level, connections, and a 20-minute fill test with the door closed
- Wet-area wall panels or surround, trim and caulk (tile quoted separately)
- Dedicated GFCI electrical with up to 25 feet of run when jets, a heater or a heated seat are ordered
- Written leak-protection guarantee, factory warranty paperwork, and the manual left with the bather
Why Louisiana customers skip the TV brands
National brands quote $25,000 to $30,000 for a walk in tub installed in Louisiana, and the price is set at your kitchen table after a three-hour presentation. The same class of tub from Hydro Dimensions, Ella's Bubbles or Meditub, installed by factory-certified crews with a lifetime shell warranty, runs $15,000 to under $20,000 with us, itemized, with no visit. The difference pays for the jets, the heated seat and a good chunk of a year's property tax. See the full price investigation →

Walk In Tubs for Louisiana Homes
A quality walk in tub is designed to remove the hardest part of traditional bathing: stepping over a high tub wall while balancing on a wet surface. Instead, you get a low step-in threshold, a built-in chair-height seat, and a secure bathing position. For Louisiana homeowners planning to age in place, that combination can make daily life feel safer and more predictable.
Many customers also choose hydrotherapy options because they enjoy the comfort of warm water and soothing jetting. However, we keep this practical and honest: hydrotherapy is about relaxation and comfort — not medical promises. The goal is a better bathing experience that supports confidence and consistency.
What Louisiana customers typically prioritize
- Low step-in entry to reduce trip risk
- Seat comfort for stable bathing
- Slip-resistant surfaces and grab bar options
- Fast drain systems for convenience
- Lifetime warranties on walk in tub models

Roll In Showers Louisiana: Barrier-Free, Wheelchair-Friendly Layouts
For many families, a roll in shower is the simplest daily solution. It removes the curb so entry is smooth for wheelchairs, walkers, and anyone who wants a more stable routine. Roll in showers are also popular for caregiver assistance because the space is easier to navigate and safer to support a loved one.
The most effective roll in shower layouts include the right drain style, slip-resistant flooring, properly placed grab bars, and seating options that match your mobility level. The design should feel clean and modern. Accessibility can look upscale when it is planned correctly.
When a roll in shower is often the best choice
- Wheelchair users who need curb-free entry
- Walkers and canes where stepping feels risky
- Caregiver-assisted bathing
- Customers who want a faster daily routine
- Homes that benefit from open, modern layouts

Walk In Tub vs Roll In Shower: A Simple Decision Framework
Louisiana homeowners often start with one question: “Which is safer?” The better question is: “Which setup matches the way the person actually bathes?” If soaking matters, a walk in tub is a strong fit. If the goal is the easiest entry and the least physical strain, a roll in shower may be ideal.
Quick guidance
- Pick a walk in tub if seated soaking and warm-water comfort is important.
- Pick a roll in shower if you want the simplest entry and wheelchair-friendly access.
- Not sure? We can recommend the best fit after a few layout questions.
Prefer a fast answer? Call 1-888-779-2284 (BATH).
Faster Drain Systems (Why It Matters)
Drain time is one of the most important practical considerations for a walk in tub. Many Louisiana customers want a system that empties efficiently so the bathing routine feels smooth and comfortable. Model features vary, so we confirm the best configuration based on the tub you choose.
