Why Walk-In Tubs Are in High Demand

For many Pittsburgh homeowners, traditional bathtubs simply aren't safe anymore. High step-in thresholds, slippery surfaces, and awkward movements can all lead to falls—especially for older adults or people recovering from surgery. A walk-in tub eliminates these concerns. With a low threshold entry, built-in seat, watertight door, and safety features like grab bars and anti-scald technology, walk-in tubs are specifically designed to promote independence and comfort while bathing.

Walk-in tubs are also a great investment for homeowners who want to age in place. Rather than moving to a facility or downsizing, upgrading your bathroom allows you to stay in your current home longer—and do so safely. In Pittsburgh’s older neighborhoods, where bathrooms can be tight or oddly shaped, customized walk-in tubs make the most of the available space while meeting ADA safety standards.

Benefits of Installing a Walk-In Tub

• Low threshold entry to reduce the risk of falls
  
  
• Built-in seating for easier transfer and comfort
  
  
• Quick-fill and quick-drain systems to minimize wait time
  
  
• Hydrotherapy options that relieve muscle and joint pain
  
  
• Enhanced property value with aging-friendly features
  
  
• Peace of mind for family members and caregivers
  
  

Walk-in tubs aren’t just for seniors—they’re also a great choice for people with arthritis, balance challenges, or limited mobility. Some homeowners even choose them for the spa-like comfort of a hydrotherapy soak after a long day.

What to Expect From the Installation Process

At 3 Birds Accessibility – Pittsburgh, we specialize in walk-in tub installation that’s tailored to your home’s layout and your personal needs.

From there, we handle all aspects of the remodel, including:

• Demolition of your existing tub or shower
  
  
• Any necessary plumbing upgrades
  
  
• Installation of the new walk-in tub
  
  
• Safety features like grab bars and anti-slip flooring
