Our Santa Fe team is recovering freedom one bathroom at a time and safety by installing new and safer equipment in homes all across New Mexico.

Question 1

1) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Yes. Walk in tubs can be personalized to your preference. Check with the manufacturers about New Mexico choices. Some only offer colours that are uniform with the majority of bathrooms. Picking the right walk-in bathtub for you means discussing the number of layouts, sizes and styles to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room conditions. You might have to pay an added fee for a custom shade since most producers make baths in white and cream.

Question 2

2) Are there any kits available for installing my own walk-in tub?

Yes, producers do offer do-it-yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the correct tools and technical familiarity with the tools, it is not impossible. Nonetheless, many times, someone believes it is going to be inexpensive to buy all the tools that are appropriate. These tools may be expensive, so ensure you compare the cost of buying all the tools along with the cost of your time learning how exactly to install the kit with the cost of a professional setup. If you're someone who does a large amount of home improvements, then the directions might seem fairly easy. If not, you might want to save yourself the trouble and expense by investing in Santa Fe professionals who will install it properly. Only make sure that the unit you purchased didn't get damaged during transportation and they analyze the unit according to the manufacturer's directions.

Question 3

3) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Sometimes, however, it is critical to modify the plumbing depending on the precise location of the drains. Installers may have to put in a fitting to the existing wastewater pipe for a walk-in tub. Present pipes may allow for slower drain times or faster drain times.

Question 4

4) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in New Mexico?

Check with your Santa Fe homeowner's insurance to be sure it'll cover you against this sort of damage. You may need a home adjustment permit from the Santa Fe, NM building department to install a bath, particularly if walls need to be eliminated to match your bathroom plans. Above all, in the event you needed a permit and you didn't get one AND your home suffers from damage from the installed walk-in bath, your losses may not be covered by your homeowner's insurance. In case you plan on ever selling your Santa Fe house, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there which will steer prospective buyers from your home if there have been any advancements without permits since it does affect homeowner's insurance. Buyers see the permits and their homeowners insurance as protections on their investments in dwellings.

Question 5

5) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mainly you're paying for a listing of safety features that are not accessible on a regular tub. These safety features are built into walk-in bathtubs for persons with limited freedom to decrease the likelihood of falling down. Model wall heights are generally 37 to 47 inches tall and include a built-in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, as well as a watertight door. An essential feature of walk-in baths is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to readily enter into the bathtub unconcerned about the normal high wall of a normal tub. The walk-in bathtubs also usually contain jet therapy a cleaning function, and improved drain options. Also, one of the reasons why the cost varies among the walk-in baths is that the baths are custom made depending on someone 's demands rather than factory reproduced, so you could discover a tub that's specifically made for somebody who wants wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a larger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 6

6) How much is it for a cheaper walk-in bathtub?

A more affordable fundamental variant of the walk in bathtub can cost between $1,7000 and $3,000 in [

Question 7

7) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Initial testing and appropriate installation should give you a leakproof experience, nonetheless there are incidents where they experienced outflows that customers report. Under suitable conditions, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units include another drain under the entrance door to help prevent escapes in the event the door does leak. Ask if this feature is comprised. We highly recommend that you just get a lifetime guarantee, because it covers the door in the instance of a flow as well as the seal. Some people replace the door seal on a walk in bath themselves. Also, it's important to take good attention of the walk in tub door when the tub is not in use to prevent premature failure of the seal. Wiping door jamb and the door seal down after every use can preserve the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care directions. Additionally, any little group of debris or soil on the door seal or where the seal comes in touch with all the door jamb can lead to a minor flow through the door seal, so always wipe down the door seal.

Question 8

8) Will AETNA cover the cost of equipment and installation in New Mexico?

Aetna doesn't insure walk in bathtubs under their traditional plans in New Mexico. Aetna doesn't cover walk in tubs under their HMO and health network plans either. They usually follow Medicare's criteria for durable medical equipment (DME) items used in the toilet. If the member is bed- room or confined - some DMEs are considered necessary, rather than a public toilet. DMEs are considered medically necessary if it is necessary for daily tasks and is primarily medical in nature. Since bathing considered vital and is considered a daily living activity, Aetna lists toilet items which are incapable to transfer to and from a bath or considered necessary if a member is not able to bathe or shower without being seated.

Question 9

9) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity simply drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power assisted drainage systems. Usually, the drainage system in a walk-in tub is attached to the normal tub drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using a foam washer or putty under its flange. Some attributes may cost you more, so it's always a good idea to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless baths since because they don't change the drain height of your existing bath frameless tubs often empty quicker than framed baths and framed baths. Framed tubs are constructed on a steel framework and also the bottom of the tub is hung off the ground. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength mold that really doesn't need a steel frame and the bottom of the tub is not suspended in the air.

Question 10

10) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be careful of the amount of atmosphere and also water that comes out of the jets to be sure it is the appropriate number which will soothe pains and your sore muscles with a massage sense. Jets may be placed to target specific areas to provide for the very best effects. Many Santa Fe customers enjoy the therapeutic effect of having jets installed in their walk-in bathtub for an extensive range of health conditions that gain from the relaxation that is extra.

Question 11

11) Is there a way to re-sell the tub once we are done with it?

You can resell or locate used walk-in baths being sold online. Yet, many people typically wish to make sure they are purchasing a walk in tub that personally fulfills with their needs for the long-term. They're not as inclined to choose a big risk by paying the removal of their present tub as well as all of the costs related to shipping without a little more investment and assurance in quality along with the state of their purchase. There's not actually a huge market for used plumbing fixtures. In case you are unsure how long you're going to be at your Santa Fe home and can not justify a long-term care option of a leading walk in tub setup, then there are simple measure retrofits that give you the ability to return the toilet to an unmodified bathroom to avoid turning potential buyers away who do not desire to pay for a large removal. Finally, should you think you might try and resell your walk-in bathtub, the following buyer may want to understand whether the lifetime guarantee is extended to other owners too or if they are going to have to cover the costs connected with a door seal or other part damages that may occur with use.

Question 12
