What San Antonio bathrooms look like

San Antonio homes are mostly 1950s to 1990s brick ranches on slabs across the city, military-retiree neighborhoods around Lackland, Randolph and Fort Sam Houston, and Hill Country retirement homes in Boerne and New Braunfels. That matters because the tub is chosen for the room as much as the bather: a standard 60 inch alcove takes the Hydro Dimensions 3060 or Ella Ultimate as a drop-in, a small bath takes the Ella Mobile, and a bathroom used from a wheelchair is usually better served by a Bestbath roll in shower. San Antonio has some of the hardest water in Texas, so jets get the flush cycle and most homes already have a softener.

Help paying for it in San Antonio

• Veterans: the VA HISA grant, filed through the South Texas Veterans Health Care System (Audie L. Murphy). Build the itemized estimate in four minutes with our planner.
• Medicaid waiver: Texas STAR+PLUS can fund minor home modifications for eligible members; the Texas Health and Human Services aging services and the 28 Area Agencies on Aging handle applications, and 2-1-1 Texas is the statewide line.
• Everyone: monthly financing, senior and veteran discounts on every order, and an itemized written price. Medicare rarely pays, and we say so up front.
• Local help: Alamo Area Agency on Aging is the front door for state and county programs.

Permits and code in San Antonio

Texas adopts the IRC statewide for cities, with unincorporated county land largely unregulated; Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth and El Paso require plumbing permits for a tub replacement, pulled by a state-licensed plumber. HOA approval is common in planned communities. Our crews pull what is required and install to the manufacturer's spec. Our showers are ADA and ANSI A117.1 code-compliant models when that is what the job calls for.

Walk in tub or roll in shower for a San Antonio home?

About a third of San Antonio families who call about a walk in tub end up with a roll in shower, and they are happier for it. 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, 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.

Why San Antonio customers skip the TV brands

National brands quote $25,000 to $30,000 for a walk in tub installed in San Antonio, and the price is set at your kitchen table after a three-hour presentation. The same class of tub, installed by factory-certified crews with a lifetime shell warranty, runs $15,000 to under $20,000 with us, itemized, with no visit. See the full price investigation →
