Walk-in tub planner: will it fit your bathroom?

Five measurements tell you which walk-in tubs can get through your house, fit the space, and stay warm. Everything runs on this page; nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to send it with a price request.

Which side is the current drain on, facing the tub?
How does the bather get in today?

How the planner decides

  • Doorway: a crated tub needs about an inch of play on each side, so we look for tubs at least 2 inches narrower than your tightest opening. Tubs can sometimes be tipped on edge; your installer can judge that on site.
  • Alcove: the tub has to fit wall to wall. A 53-inch tub can fill a 60-inch space with a matching extension panel.
  • Hot water: you fill a walk-in after you sit down, so the heater has to keep up. If your tank is smaller than the tub's fill volume on its spec sheet, plan for a bigger heater or a tankless unit.
  • Bather: wheelchair and lift users usually need a transfer-height seat and an outward-swinging door.

Tub sizes come from each maker's spec sheet. The planner is a first check, not a site measurement; confirm with your installer or our White Glove fit check before ordering.
