How Much Does a Safe Step Tub Cost?

According to the official website of the company, the cost of a Safe Step Walk-In Tub will be affected by factors such as the dimension, whether any promotions and/or discounts are available at the time, and the installation. According to information readily available online, the cost of this type of shower will be greatly influenced by the actual place of installation in the bathroom.

Even though there is a wide range of prices, the average cost of a Safe Step Walk-In Tub starts at around $5,500 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 4.6 full-time workweeks, before taxes) for a simple model without any extra features and goes up to more than $10,500 for a model that includes most of the available features. It is important to mention that this cost will include the professional installation. In case you will hire a contractor, you will need to spend another $5,200 or even more if the professional says that the installation job is complex and labor intensive. To sum up, you have to budget anywhere between $9,500 and $22,000 to have a Safe Step Walk-In Tub installed.
