The record at a glance

  • Better Business Bureau: accredited since 2009. On the day we checked, its Nashville profile showed 154 complaints closed in the past three years, 58 in the past 12 months, and a 2.96 out of 5 average from 102 customer reviews1.
  • SeniorLiving.org: rated it 4.5 and reported Arthritis Foundation Ease of Use certification and a 14-point quality check at its Tennessee factory2.

Complaint counts mean more next to sales volume, which BBB doesn't show. A large seller will collect more complaints. Read a few recent complaints and the company's replies, and judge whether problems were fixed.

How to protect yourself

  • Have a family member join the consultation.
  • Ask for the full price in writing and take a few days to decide.
  • Get at least one more quote. Our Safe Step cost page lists the questions to ask.
  • Check your state's cancellation rights for in-home sales before you sign.

Getting a comparison quote from a local installer

A national brand's in-home price usually bundles the tub, installation, removal, warranty and financing into one number. That is convenient, but hard to compare. An independent local installer can often quote a similar tub, with an outward-swinging door, seat, grab bars and jets, and list each part separately.

To compare fairly with a Safe Step quote, ask every company for:

  • The tub's model, size, door direction and seat height.
  • Tub price and installation price as separate lines.
  • What happens to your old tub, walls, flooring and electrical work.
  • The warranty: who honors it, for how long, and whether labor is covered.
  • The price if you don't sign today. Be wary of same-day-only discounts.

Typical independent installation labor runs $700 to $3,0003. More tips are in our guide to why walk-in tub quotes are so high.
