Walk In Tubs & Roll In Showers in Wyoming, Installed in a Day

Wyoming homes and the bathrooms in them

Wyoming homes skew toward 1970s and 1980s ranches, split-levels and a large share of manufactured homes on crawlspaces or piers, often in mining and energy towns built fast during a boom. Bathrooms are usually small, the tub alcove is a standard 60 inches, and many have never been remodeled.

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

Long winters and dry air are hard on skin, and icy walkways make a fall on the way to the bathroom as likely as one inside it. A heated seat and backrest, a fast-fill faucet so the tub is ready quickly, and microbubble or air therapy for dry, itchy skin are the options Wyoming customers ask for most.

Most of the state has hard water, and rural homes are on wells. Specify the scale-tolerant fast-fill faucet, and if the home has a 40-gallon heater, choose a compact soaker or plan a heater upgrade before a deep or jetted tub.

Permits and code in Wyoming

Wyoming has no statewide residential building code; cities such as Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, Gillette and Sheridan enforce their own IRC-based codes and issue permits, while much of the unincorporated county land has no permit requirement for a like-for-like tub replacement. Electrical work is licensed statewide through the Wyoming Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety.

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 Wyoming

The Wyoming Community Choices waiver funds home modifications for eligible seniors and adults with disabilities; the Wyoming Aging Division and the local Area Agencies on Aging in Cheyenne, Casper and Sheridan handle applications. Rural homeowners 62 and older often qualify for USDA Section 504 repair grants.

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 Cheyenne VA Medical Center or the Sheridan VA Health Care System. 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 Wyoming, 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.

Wyoming by the numbers

Wyoming is the least populous state, which means crews cover big distances; we batch installs by region so a rural home does not wait months. 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.
