There are many types of walk-in tubs available in Baltimore, ranging from basic soaker models to high-end, customized baths with luxury features like aromatherapy, chromotherapy, massaging jets and heated surfaces.
Common walk-in tub models in Baltimore include:
For most seniors, a basic soaker walk-in tub will help simplify their bathroom routine and make it a safer experience. Soakers are the most common walk-in tubs available on the market. For seniors who have specific needs, like massage jets for aching joints or special designs for wheelchair accessibility, specialized walk-in tubs are the better choice.
Some companies also offer customized walk-in tubs, where customers can pick and choose the walk-in tub features they want for a made-to-order build. Consumers can customize everything from the size of the tub to jet placement to color. Most walk-in tub companies in Baltimore offer a free consultation — sometimes in your home — to go over your budget, needs and preferences.
In Baltimore, walk-in tub prices range from $2,000 to $5,000 for most models. For a walk-in tub with added benefits, like hydrotherapy, customers should expect to pay around $7,000 or more. Bariatric walk-in tubs and combination walk-in tubs cost anywhere between $7,000 and $10,000, depending on the type and features. Fully customized tubs can cost up to $20,000.
Most walk-in tub companies don’t give a complete price quote until visiting your home to factor in installation costs. Installation of a walk-in tub usually costs $1,500 or less. If you purchase a walk-in tub from a company that doesn’t provide installation, ask if it has a recommendation for a contractor licensed by the Maryland Department of Labor.
Many walk-in tub companies offer professional installation of your new walk-in tub. If you are replacing a regular bathtub or shower with a walk-in tub, this process usually only takes one to two days. If your bathroom requires extensive remodeling, like plumbing or electrical updates, installation will take longer and be more expensive.
Keep in mind that walk-in tub installation in Baltimore may require a permit from the City of Baltimore, Baltimore County or another local governing authority. Your installer should help you determine whether a permit is necessary and assist with the paperwork.
How can I receive financial assistance for a walk-in tub in Baltimore?
The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development has a program that offers grants or zero-interest loans for seniors who need to update their home for mobility purposes. To qualify, applicants must be 55 or older and must have a household income of less than 80% of the statewide median. Additionally, the Assistive Technology Loan Program provides low-interest loans to Maryland residents with disabilities and their families to help them buy equipment that facilitates independent living.
Are walk-in tubs tax deductible in Maryland?
If a walk-in tub is purchased for safety or medical reasons and you can provide documentation of a medical recommendation, you may be able to deduct the expense on your taxes.
Do I need to hire a plumber to install my walk-in tub in Baltimore?
Because most walk-in tub companies offer installation services, you probably don’t need to hire a plumber yourself. When a walk-in tub company comes to look at your space and provide a quote, ask if a plumber is needed. If you do hire a plumber, make sure he or she is licensed with the Maryland Board of Plumbing.
What’s a typical warranty for walk-in tubs in Baltimore?
Most tubs come with a warranty that covers the tub shell and other components, including the door seal. Warranties last anywhere from 10 years to a lifetime and can differ based on the tub part. Before purchasing a tub, ask for an explanation of the manufacturer’s warranty and to see a copy of it in writing.
