National brands with an in-home sales presentation quote $25,000 to $30,000 for the same class of tub installed in Denver. The difference is the sales method, not the tub; see why walk in tub prices vary so much.
What the Denver price includes
- Removal and disposal of the old tub and surround
- The tub, its options and the factory warranty
- Plumbing connections to the existing drain and supply
- Electrical for jets, an inline heater or a heated seat, on a dedicated GFCI circuit
- Extension panels to close the alcove, trim and cleanup
- A fill test of the door seal and every jet, and a walkthrough with the bather
Nothing is added at the kitchen table, because there is no kitchen-table visit: the number is written before we schedule.
What can add to a Denver quote
- A new circuit far from the panel. Jets and heaters need a dedicated circuit; a panel on the far side of a basement means more wire, and Denver requires an electrical permit for a new circuit.
- Moving the drain. Easy from an unfinished basement, harder in a slab home.
- What is under the old tub. Galvanized supply pipe or soft subfloor in a 1950s ranch is fixed before the new tub goes in.
- The water heater. Tubs over about 75 gallons can outrun a small tank; see what size water heater you need.
- Access. A second-floor bath in a split-level or a narrow hallway adds labor.
Each of these is priced in writing before work starts.
Help paying for it in Denver
- Veterans: the VA HISA grant pays up to $6,800 for a service-connected condition (or a 50% or higher rating) and up to $2,000 otherwise, filed through the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center in Aurora. Our itemized quote is the estimate the VA asks for. HISA does not pay for spa, hot tub or jacuzzi features.
- Health First Colorado (Medicaid) members on a waiver such as EBD may qualify for the Home Modification benefit, which HCPF caps at $14,000; the case manager confirms how the cap applies. Our Colorado Medicaid waiver guide walks through the steps.
- Denver residents with a disability: the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) has offered accessibility modification grants through its RHAMP program; its 2021 announcement listed grants up to $10,000 for items including roll in showers and ADA bathroom fixtures. Funding rounds change, so call DURA at 303-534-3872 to ask whether it is open before you plan around it.
- Taxes: part of the cost may count as a medical expense when a doctor recommends it; see is a walk in tub tax deductible for the IRS Publication 502 math.
All of these are "may qualify" programs. We help you check, and nothing ships until an approval you are waiting on is in hand.
Three ways to spend less in Denver
Choose a soaker if the jets will not get used. Hydrotherapy is a real comfort for some bathers and an unused expense for others. Buy supply-only if you have a trusted plumber. The tub ships to your door, the factory warranty holds, and we support your plumber by phone; see supply-only walk in tubs. Ask what a shower would cost. For a bather who uses a wheelchair or walker, an accessible shower conversion is often the better fit and costs less.
How fast in Denver?
Denver is our home base, so installs are scheduled with our own crews, usually within a week of the tub arriving. Install day is one day in most homes. The full timeline is in how long a walk in tub takes to install, and the Denver page lists every suburb we serve.

Denver Walk In Tub Cost FAQ
How much does a walk in tub cost in Denver?
About $15,500 installed with us after the current $2,000 promotion, $15,250 for veterans, and from about $19,000 for wide, transfer or bariatric tubs. Most Denver projects land between $15,000 and just under $20,000, itemized in writing.
Why do some Denver companies quote $25,000 to $30,000?
National brands that sell through a multi-hour in-home presentation build the visit, commissions and TV advertising into the price. The same class of tub with factory-certified installation costs well under $20,000 with us.

Yes. The installed price includes removal of the old tub, plumbing, electrical for jets or a heater, extension panels and cleanup. Anything extra, such as moving a drain or replacing old pipe, is priced in writing first.
Do I need a permit for a walk in tub in Denver?
A tub that replaces the old one in the same spot is usually a like-for-like plumbing swap, but the dedicated circuit for jets or a heater needs an electrical permit. Our crews pull the permits the job needs.
Can I get help paying for a walk in tub in Denver?
Veterans may use the VA HISA grant (it does not pay for spa or jet features), Health First Colorado waiver members may qualify for the Home Modification benefit, and part of the cost may be tax deductible. We help you check each one.
