FAQ

How difficult is it to clean a Kohler walk-in bathtub?

It shouldn’t be any harder to clean a Kohler walk-in tub than a model from any other brand. Basic walk-in-tub care includes rinsing and drying the tub after each use, cleaning the surfaces once a week and performing a monthly deep clean that flushes the internal system.

Can a Kohler walk-in tub increase home value?

Adding a Kohler walk-in tub can potentially increase your home's value, but it will depend on the type of buyers who will be looking at your house. Walk-in tubs typically appeal to older adults and multigenerational households, but the desirability of accessibility and spa-like features depends heavily on your local market.

You can speak with a local real estate agent to learn what types of buyers typically shop in your neighborhood and whether your home’s overall setup would support a walk-in tub without limiting its appeal.

Do Kohler Walk-In Baths require professional installation?

Yes, Kohler Walk-In Baths must be installed by a Kohler-certified installer for the lifetime warranty to apply.

What type of warranty does Kohler offer for walk-in tubs?

Kohler offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and workmanship for as long as you own the home. Tubs must be purchased at an authorized dealer and installed by a Kohler-certified professional to qualify.

Will a Kohler walk-in tub fit in my bathroom?

The Kohler walk-in bath is designed to fit in the footprint of an existing tub. If you have a traditional bathtub, a Kohler walk-in bath should fit in your home. Custom sizes are available.

If you want to be sure, a certified safety specialist can visit your home for a no-cost consultation to determine if a walk-in tub will fit in your bathroom.

Do Kohler Walk-In Baths include hydrotherapy or jet options?

Yes, Kohler Walk-In Baths include optional hydrotherapy features, including air jets, water jets or a combination of both. Whirlpool and jet systems offer adjustable settings that can target areas such as the feet, legs and back.

Are Kohler Walk-In Baths worth it?

Yes, Kohler walk-in bathtubs can be worth it. At the time of publication, Kohler Walk-In Baths is ConsumerAffairs’ top pick for accessible walk-in tubs based on customer feedback.

ConsumerAffairs reviewers reported a 97% satisfaction rate with both the sales process and pricing, which is locked for 90 days.

    The gentleman that came out and talked to me explained the Kohler walk-in tub to me. I was very satisfied with them. I'm also very satisfied with the finance company to the point that it's 0% for 18 months. My first payment is going to start on April 1st. At that point, I can do it at my intervals. During the installation, it took two guys to take everything out and to get the tub in here. Different things had to be done but they did it in a day and a half. They had said it could take one to two days but it depends on how large your bathroom is and my bathroom is very small. I couldn't ask for a more informative team. They answered any of my questions and they were respectful.

    Prior to getting the Kohler walk-in tub, I had a Kohler whirlpool tub that my husband used every day. The problem is, for me to get in and out of it, I would have to lift my leg. Also, if I sat in the tub, I couldn't get myself out. That's what happens when you have arthritis from head to toe. Having the Kohler walk-in tub, I have gotten some relief. Part of the issue is, the house is colder than usual even with the heat on so when I'm in the tub and I fill it up to capacity, my upper body's chilly. But my sister-in-law has recently bought me a scarf so that when I sit in there, I can put that on my shoulders, and I'm far more comfortable now.

    Other companies were cheaper but this tub has features that the other tubs didn't have. The step to get into this tub is only three inches, whereas other ones are six inches or more. I like the fact that I don't have to lift my leg to get into the tub and closing the door, I can still shower and bathe, and I could use the jets. It has a heated thermometer that keeps the water temperature at a controlled one. I don't have to keep turning it up hotter.

      I'm taking care of my 95-year-old mother and needed a walk-in tub. I researched all the other brands, and Kohler had certain features that outdid everybody else, even though they were more expensive. I tend to go with quality so I contacted them about a year ago but about fell over when I heard what the cost was gonna be. I couldn't afford that. A year went by and I thought if I was gonna do a walk-in tub, I'm gonna get one that's not going to have problems. Kohler has certain features that the others don't that were important to me, like purging the lines and separate lines for the shower head and the handheld shower and boosting your water heater tank for more hot water. I contacted Kohler again and Renuity was the company that was doing Kohler. They've been fabulous from beginning to end.

      The gentleman that came out and presented to me was very thorough. He went over step by step, feature by feature and what everything was gonna cost. He was here a couple of hours. The first thing I was concerned about was whether they were going to be able to get it in or not as I have a very small bathroom. They took measurement after measurement and assured me that indeed they could, and if they had to cut into the wall, they would fix the wall. From the moment they got here, they kept my house clean. They had to cut into the wall, but they put it back beautifully. There was no damage and they got the bathtub in there. It was installed in a day and it's fabulous. The only thing that I do not like about it, and it has nothing to do with Kohler, is I like a bathtub that you can lay down in. With all these walk-in bathtubs, you're sitting. They could make the tub so that you could lean back instead of sitting up.

      My whole house is Kohler. I wanted the brand so I went online to see if they had any walk-in tubs. The salesperson was very nice, knowledgeable and courteous. The installers were prompt and came when they said they were going to. But my contractor friend, who helped me, was very particular and didn't approve of the way the tub was installed. He had to make some changes. But the installers love the product themselves, which is nice.

      I'm happy with my tub. I like how it looks and it drains fast. But the tub was about $20,000 overpriced and I felt I was taken advantage of. There were some problems with a couple of panels that we requested to be through my contractor. He had to help put up the walls for the tub to be installed and he worked with the Kohler guys on the project, and he informed them that the little knobs on the back of one of the panels that keep it there were missing. We requested another panel and I never got it, and he never got a response at all. We did not get any help. My contractor made it work, but the walk-in tub should have been perfect for the price I paid. It was horribly expensive. But I love my tub and I would recommend Kohler.

      Reviewed Jan. 26, 2026

      I was told it wouldn't take long to fill. Wrong. After 20 minutes, it was 70% full but, out of hot water. My bad for not researching this better. Now, I must buy a bigger water heater. There goes another two grand. In addition, you can't immerse your chest making it a little difficult to wash/rinse your upper body. Sadly, there's no recourse that I'm aware of. Buyer beware.

      Reviewed May 31, 2025

      Kohler does not deserve the good design reputation they supposedly have. The seat is too short to lay your neck on the heated area. The tub requires 65 gal of water that take 25 minutes to fill and may deplete your hot water capacity. Their local customer service/repair is terrible (No return calls). When there is no showroom or any references for a 25k item, I should have known something was rotten - one of the biggest mistakes of my life. The installation was good though.

      Make sure that your water heater's capacity is sufficient. A 50 gallon tub requires at least a 40-gallon water heater. My salesmen knew that my utility closet would only fit a 30-gallon water heater. It's a great tub, but only if you are able to supply it with the necessary volume of hot water.

      When the installers came and put the tub in, everything was fine. The two guys that came from BathPro were great. They were very accommodating. They did it in a day and a half and everything was done good. It was an A+ job. However, I had to call in because my tub wouldn't drain. The company that put it in is supposed to call back today. When we called customer service at Kohler, they said they didn't sell us the tub. It was a third party and we needed to get with them. So, that is what we did.

      I'm in the trucking business and I bought from Kohler because years ago, I hauled their product out of Brownwood, Texas, where the plant is, to Kohler Wisconsin and all over. But had I known that it would be like this, I would have never bought from them. I would probably have saved $15,000 and went with the other company. I want somebody to call me back and get out here and fix it because a $25,000 tub isn't doing me a bit of good if I can't use it. Other than that, I've had a good experience.

      I have been aware of Kohler for a long time, and when I started looking for a walk-in bathtub, they were the only company that installed them in my area. The presentation when they came to my home was interesting, but it felt too long since I already knew what I wanted. I chose a Kohler walk-in bathtub that was a bit more advanced than the base model, featuring air jets, water jets, and a heated seat. There didn't seem to be a lot of choices available in terms of features, but that's what I ended up with. I got a freestanding bathtub, without a shower combo or wand, and they did provide a timeline for installation which they adhered to.

      I am very happy with the bathtub itself, and the installation team was good, leaving everything clean. After the installation, they gave a demo which provided enough information for me. If a friend asked about my experience, I would definitely recommend it. My favorite feature is the ease of just walking into the tub. The overall experience with Kohler was good, but the cost was high, about twice what I expected. We live in Oklahoma and we're locked in here with one installation company for Oklahoma, parts of Texas and Arkansas. They do a three-state area. You can't make a lot of change.
