Our Burlington installers are willing to make your toilet safe again, in order to take care of yourself, by getting you the right equipment.

Question 1

1) Do Walk-In Bathtubs Leak?

Yes, they could leak. Another common complaint from people who attempted to save money and bought a poor quality tub comes from door escapes. Ensure that the walk in tub is strong and rigid to avoid any flex that inhibits a water-tight door. Also, during the installation procedure, it's highly recommended that the Vermont installer never lift the tub by the plumbing, as it can lead to flows. Additionally any damage that may have occurred during transporting can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before utilizing the walk-in bath, it is important that the installer test the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual. The water may have trouble draining correctly and may create the door to leak, in case the tub isn't installed level with the supporting attributes provided. Finally, make sure to understand the risks associated with the placement of your walk in bathtub, particularly alcoves, since they have particular requirements to prevent leaking.

Question 2

2) About how long does the installation process take with your Burlington installers?

Once the bathtub arrives, an installment needs between one and three days of work in Burlington. It surely depends upon the scope of the job. You should let us know if there is a crucial deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from Vermont rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 3

3) Do these tubs use more water than conventional tubs?

Yes. A walk-in tub is generally taller than an average bath tub, which contains about 2 1/2 feet of water on average. Some manufacturers say that you just use the exact same quantity of water as a shower that is standard if a regular shower is 7 minutes and also you use 7 gallons of water a minute. Most of the walk-in baths available on the market have a 40-80 gallon capacity. In reality, many manufacturers recommend that you have a hot water tank that fits at least 50 gallons, though some baths will work effectively if you fill them with 40-60 gallons.

Question 4

4) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you go into the walk-in bathtub, you close the door and seal it by pulling the handle toward you. Make sure that the handle is locked in order to avoid any water loss. There are various kinds of handles determined by the model you choose to purchase. Make certain it is a handle that you could easily operate. Following that, the floor drain close and make sure the anti-scald device has already been preset before using the tub. Once the bathtub fills to the desired depth, your bath is ready. Once you have finished your bath, remove the drain depending on the type of drain or turn the overflow knob you need to empty the water. Pull on the bathtub handle and leave the tub.

Question 5

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

Yes. Be careful of the quantity of atmosphere and also water that comes out of the jets to be sure it's the appropriate amount which will soothe your sore muscles and aches using a massage sensation. Jets may be placed to target particular regions to provide for the best effects. Many Burlington customers take pleasure in the therapeutic effect of having jets installed in their walk-in bath for a broad range of health conditions that gain from the additional relaxation.

Question 6

6) How much do walk-in bathtubs cost in Burlington?

A walk in tub in Burlington generally ranges in cost from $1,700 to over $30,000. The price is dependent upon whether you have it installed by our Vermont team, what attributes you select, along with the caliber of the product. The cost also changes depending on whether you choose fiberglass or acrylic tubs. Everyone differs and ensuring that a walk in tub works for somebody 's unique situation is quite essential since it's generally replacing a bath or bathtub assembly that's not meeting their needs. A good walk-in tub runs between installed. and $8,000 $3,000 Some suppliers offer monthly premiums or a cash bonus.

Question 7

7) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems apply a gravity only drainage system, while other manufacturers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the standard bath drain, which is threaded into a horizontal pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed with putty or a foam washer under its flange. Since a bather cannot leave the bath until all the water is drained, the big difference is the fact that manufacturers have tried to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water can leave a bather feeling cooled. Some features may cost you more, therefore it's almost always a good idea to ask. Eventually, get to be aware of the difference between frameless tubs and framed tubs since frameless tubs often empty quicker than framed baths, because they do not alter the drain height of your existing tub. Framed baths are assembled on a steel frame as well as the bottom of the bathtub is suspended off the floor. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength form that doesn't need a steel frame and the bottom of the bath isn't suspended in the air.

Question 8

8) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walk in tub installments that offer you a large standing area for stand-up showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Ensure you get the proper measurements for the walk-in bathtub in order you don't feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Additionally, in case you need to keep your standing shower since if your faucet is not directly against a wall, it is considerably more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind is to ask about the faucet place.

Question 9

9) Do these tubs drain normally?

Yes. Occasionally, however, it is essential to change the plumbing determined by the place of the drains. Installers may need to add a fitting to the existing wastewater pipe for a walk in bath. Existing pipes may allow for slower drain times or faster drain times.

Question 10

10) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk-in bathtubs are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that is included with your purchased tub. The flooring in the bathroom should have a structural support strength that exceeds the weight of the bathtub plus the weight of the water. Our Burlington installer will check to determine whether the floor is level and otherwise if it's not, then they are going to use the leveling legs to adjust the level of the tub. Of course, the prior bath will need to be eliminated. Also, the wall or tile in region will have to be removed if replacing.

Question 11

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

Yes, makers do offer do it yourself installations of a bathroom conversion kit. Depending on whether you possess the appropriate tools and specialized acquaintance with the instruments, it's potential. Yet, many times, someone thinks it is definitely going to be affordable to buy all the proper tools. These tools may be expensive, so make sure you compare the price of buying all of the tools and also the expense of your time learning how to install the kit with all the cost of a professional installation. Then the directions may seem fairly easy, in case you're someone who does a lot of home improvements. Just make sure the unit you purchased did not get harmed during transport and the unit is tested by them in line with producer 's directions.

Question 12

12) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Vermont?

Check with your Burlington homeowner's insurance to make sure it is going to cover you against this sort of damage. You may need a house modification license from the Burlington, VT building department to set up a tub, particularly if walls need to be eliminated to fit your toilet plans. Most of all, you did not get one AND somehow and in the event you needed a license your house suffers from damage from the installed walk-in tub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. In case you plan on selling your Burlington home, there are plenty of buyer beware messages out there that will steer potential buyers from your home if there have been any improvements without licenses since it does influence homeowner's insurance. Buyers see their homeowners insurance as well as the permits as protections on their investments in dwellings.
