Independent Home models

Independent Home makes eight different walk-in tub models. Each comes equipped with many standard features, including fast-fill faucets and speed drains. Higher-end models include luxury features such as air or whirlpool hydrotherapy, dual massage jets and color-soothing chromotherapy.

The company also makes walk-in shower options for places where a tub might not be the right fit due to customer preference or bathroom size limitations.

Independent Home’s walk-in tub models include a deep-soak walk-in tub with optional massage jets, a structurally upgraded acrylic model and a wheelchair-accessible tub. All Independent Home shower and tub seats are ADA-compliant, making for a safer and more comfortable shower or bath experience.

The company’s walk-in tubs vary by features including the number of jets, the size of the tub and hydrotherapy options. Several models are designed for specific needs:

  • The Access is a wheelchair-accessible model that helps those in wheelchairs safely get in and out of the bathtub.
  • The Royal is designed for larger individuals and has a power-controlled seat for lifting and lowering a person into the bath.
  • The Cube is a compact walk-in bathtub designed to fit into an existing shower stall space.

Standard features of Independent Home walk-in tubs

All Independent Home walk-in tubs and showers come with multiple standard features. In addition to industry-wide features, such as a low step-in threshold and a wide door, Independent Home walk-in tubs offer relaxing components that help to invigorate and gently massage your body during a shower or bath.

Independent Home walk-in tub installation

Independent Home provides certified installers to install your walk-in tub. These installers come from multiple trades, including plumbing, electrical, demolition and finish work. Installation specialists are experts in this field and usually average well over 500 installations completed.

Independent Home holds its technicians to strict standards. Each representative explains how to use the tub after they install it, and each customer signs a completion certificate stating they’re satisfied with the work.

Every walk-in tub is tested during construction with checkpoints that guarantee the quality of the electrical components and integrity of the watertight seal. As a factory-direct company, Independent Home adheres to a standard of single-source accountability for sales, installation and service.

It usually takes one day to complete the installation. All Independent Home walk-in tubs are turnkey solutions designed to replace existing bathtubs.

Independent Home walk-in tub cost and financing

The cost of an Independent Home walk-in tub ranges widely (installation is included), but it varies by the model you choose and any add-ons or upgrades you select. Adding options like hydrotherapy increases price. Independent Home suggests calling to receive a free, customized quote for your walk-in tub or shower.

The company suggests having a specialist perform a free in-home estimate before purchasing a tub. The specialist measures your current bathroom and explains what’s required to install an Independent Home walk-in tub in your space. Having a technician inspect your bathroom lets the company give you the most accurate quote possible.

The company provides a $1,500-off installation coupon on its website, and financing is available to qualified buyers. If you’re a veteran with a disability, you may be able to subsidize a bathroom remodeling project with a Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant.

    I had a lot of questions for Devonte when he came to install my tub. He was able to get everything done in a day and spent much time with me to be sure that I understood everything about the tub and how it worked. I was impressed with the all the ways this tub afforded me comfort and relaxation. Devonte was cheerful and proud to represent Independent Home; it was obvious during his training for me. His goal was to teach me how to take a wonderful bath and obtain the comfort I deserved and needed.

    I asked him what made him so cheerful throughout a hard day of work and he replied, “Knowing that I made someone’s day a little better.” I assured him that he did with the job he did representing Independent Home. Devonte beamed with a smile, knowing he did an exceptional job! I have already had a relaxing experience with the tub and haven’t even had a chance to use all the extras built into this tub for my enjoyment and comfort! Thank you Independent Home!

      Independent Home has what we wanted in a walk-in-tub, with an attractive price. We determined we need Hydrotherapy for the many conditions with which we seniors live. We like the safety and comfort features, especially the slip-resistant flooring, angled grab bar, built-in handrails, high-pressure water jets, air therapy and built-in heating for a consistent, spa-like experience. We will be able to slide from our wheelchair directly into the wider heated seat. While waiting for the tub to fill with water, we can feel the Vibrio sonic massage on our shoulders. We can direct the jets to reduce restless legs and muscle pain. Arthritis pain can be lessened by the massage and heat from the heated jets keeping the temperature at the desired level.

      The representative, Peter, is very friendly, knowledgeable and lives close by. He recognized our needs and was able to address them in detail. He also drew upon the environment and what others were experiencing. Peter was thorough with his presentation and review of the installation area. We like the lifetime warranty and there is a supply facility near us. I would recommend Independent Home to everyone looking for a hydrotherapy walk-in-tub, especially a transfer tub.

      Purchasing a tub from Independent Home went really well. They were immediate in contacting me, and they were fast in coming out to the house and getting a time set up for installation. I enjoyed the man who came to fill out the paperwork with us and do the financial part of it. The installation crew was also very good and informative. They made things very easy. They seemed to think about a lot of little things that make up the big things. It made things work more smoothly.

      I saw an advertisement on my tablet for Independent Home and we ended up buying their top of the line product. It was very easy and they worked with us. At first, we told them that we were not going to do it. But the salesperson contacted me again, then I talked with my husband and he we'd go ahead and do it. Then, the installation was a one-day affair. I wasn't home at the time but my husband was. And when I got home from work, they were just finishing up. But I didn't do a really thorough inspection and I should have because there are a few items there that I need to contact them so they can be addressed. It doesn't look like some of the ceiling was done correctly and it looks like there's some gap.

      Other than that, they were very friendly and they did their work like they said they would. I would recommend them. Also, the price wasn't that expensive. So far I've used the shower part of the item and on the accessibility, it needed to be a little bit bigger. It's big enough for me but there's not a lot of room for my husband. He will be able to use the bath part of it, but shower, not so much.

      I wanted to go through Safe Step Tubs and I was going to get the free toilet and $2,000 off the whole complete thing. But Danny, the guy that was in charge of Independent Home, showed me and explained to me that it was probably about $12,000 cheaper for me to get the Independent Safe Step tub. So I went with that and it had the same features. It just didn't come with $2,000 off or the free toilet, which I was still hoping for to get a new toilet. Other than that, the tub is really nice. I got the top model because I wanted the aromatherapy, the massage and the jet.

      Amy was my sales rep and she was very nice. She was so sweet. Everybody that I had talked to at Independent Home were all very, very pleasant. They were all very nice. They respected me as a customer and as a person. The installation took two days, but it really was truly worth it. Everything went well. I loved everybody that I came in contact with, whether it was in person or on the phone. I would probably go through them again. I've already recommended them to several of my friends. You can't beat the price. The products were in good quality.

      I got the tub for my mother because she's 93 and a half years old. She has stage four pancreatic cancer, kidney and liver cancer, and she just lost her ability to walk about a month ago. My oldest daughter has stage four breast cancer and she loves that tub. It's been one heck of a struggle with us, but at least now my mom can be clean and she can rest up easy. This is the best tub that I've ever had.

      Unbeatable price and they kept every promise! Independent Home told me to wait to sign with any other company because they could beat the competition on quality and price. They weren't kidding. They got me everything I wanted and more; including a premium walk-in tub for less than a walk-in shower. If you want top-tier materials and guaranteed satisfaction for less; give Independent Home a call.

      It took 3 months to get defective parts replaced. A BBB review stimulated a call 2 hours after posting. I would suggest talking to your installer, and if Headquarters doesn't respond, post a BBB review.

      Original Review: May 8, 2026

      Tub installed carefully by husband, wife Team. Missing and defective parts not provided and multiple phone calls not responded to. It would appear the lifetime warranty Is useless as they do not correct defects and missing parts. There are many other less expensive options out there and hopefully other companies with functional customer service.
