FAQ

How much does a walk-in tub cost in Illinois?

Across Illinois, a jetted tub typically costs $8,900 – $14,800, and simpler jobs start near $5,900. Statewide, prices run close to the US average; big metro areas are higher than small towns.

Do Illinois bathroom contractors need a license?

Illinois has no statewide general remodeling license; plumbing is licensed by the state and many cities license contractors.

Does Medicare pay for a walk-in tub?

Original Medicare generally does not cover walk-in tubs because they are not considered durable medical equipment. Some Medicare Advantage plans, state Medicaid waiver programs and VA home-modification grants (HISA, SAH) can help; a doctor's note may also make part of the cost a deductible medical expense.

How long does it take to fill and drain?

Filling usually takes 6 to 10 minutes depending on your faucet flow and water pressure. Standard drains take a few minutes; fast-drain pumps cut that to about 2 minutes.

Will my water heater be big enough?

Walk-in tubs hold roughly 50 to 80 gallons. A 40-gallon tank may not deliver a full warm fill, so installers often recommend a 50-gallon or larger tank, an inline heater or a tankless unit.
