Types of Safe Step walk-in tubs
Safe Step offers three different safe bathing options: a walk-in tub, a walk-in shower and a hybrid tub. All walk-in tubs and showers from Safe Step come with a 4-inch step-in height for easy access.
Walk-in tub
The walk-in tub has a low threshold, a wide door, anti-scald technology and a number of other safety features, making it ideal for accessible bathing solutions.
Walk-in shower
The walk-in shower comes with a base of your choosing as well as a number of therapeutic and convenience features such as a rainfall showerhead and fold-away seat.
Hybrid tub
The Safe Step Hybrid Tub allows users to have the convenience of showering in addition to the spa-like experience of a standard walk-in tub. It comes with dual shower heads and all of the safety features of a standard walk-in tub.
Safe Step walk-in tub cost
Safe Step does not list pricing for its products on the website. However, many reviews on our site mention that a Safe Step walk-in tub costs around $20,000 with installation. Walk-in tub prices vary depending on the model you choose and the difficulty of installation. Safe Step walk-in tub specialists treat each transaction as a custom job because of the differences in tub features and installation needs. You need to call or fill out a form online to receive a custom quote.
Some things that affect installation quotes include:
- Space requirements
- Plumbing
- Heating
- Electricity
Additionally, the tub’s size, hydrotherapy features, door design, and types of accessories and digital capabilities can affect the cost of installation.
Representatives perform a free in-home consultation and provide a quote. Safe Step walk-in tubs come in three sizes (standard, compact and large) but can be adapted to fit smaller and larger spaces. There are several different walk-in tubs and financing options available to meet the needs of people with varying degrees of mobility and budgets.
Discounts
Safe Step offers several discounts to reduce the price of your walk-in tub:
- Helping Hands Rebate: If you or a loved one has arthritis, nerve problems, diabetes, sciatica or a variety of other health issues, you may qualify for a rebate of up to $750 per person (maximum $1,500 per household).
- Veteran discounts: Safe Step offers special pricing for veterans. Be sure to ask about applicable options during your free consultation.
- Additional discounts: Safe Step honors discounts, credits and coupons from its partners, including AARP. Safe Step also frequently runs promotional discounts. At the time of publishing, Safe Step is advertising $2,000 off your walk-in tub plus a free toilet (including installation) with purchase.
Safe Step also has a lowest price guarantee, offering a refund of the difference plus $100 if you find a lower price on a model with the same features, materials and warranty on a tub made in Tennessee within 30 days of a written agreement.
Safe Step’s walk-in tub features
Though Safe Step offers upgraded tub features for additional comfort, all Safe Step walk-in tubs include:
- Low step-in for secure entry and exit
- Two grab bars
- Anti-slip flooring and seat
- 10 adjustable hydro jets
- Inward swing door (20.5” wide) to deter leaks and prevent bumping into the door when entering or exiting
- No-strength locking handle to prevent strain
- Sanitary gel coat to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria growth for decades
- LED electronic keypad
- Built-in towel bar
- A hand-held shower wand
- Safe water ozone cleaning system
Other standard amenities include a waterproof floating remote control, contoured heated seat and backrest, anti-scald technology and fast filling and draining.
Each Safe Step walk-in tub and shower is fully customizable, so users get a unit that matches their safety and convenience needs.
Safe Step's luxury features
All Safe Step walk-in tubs and showers offer several therapeutic benefits. The units provide hydro jet water therapy, chromotherapy, aromatherapy, air therapy and a dual hydrotherapy massage. There’s also a built-in bidet that's part of the personal hygiene therapy system.
Two of Safe Step’s standout luxury comfort features are its Dual Hydrotherapy Massage System and its MicroSoothe Air Therapy System.
- The Dual Hydrotherapy Massage System combines adjustable whirlpool and air massage hydrotherapy jets to release tension and help soothe aching joints and muscles. Dual hydrotherapy can help provide symptomatic relief for several conditions, including stress, insomnia, colds, lower back pain, arthritis and diabetes.
- The MicroSoothe Air Therapy System circulates tiny, oxygen-enriched bubbles throughout the Safe Step tub, turning the bath into a spa-like experience. The bubbles lightly whirl against the body and stimulate the skin, leaving it feeling silky and soft.
- MicroSoothe technology gently exfoliates, hydrates and deep cleans dry, damaged and depleted skin by lifting out dirt and toxins from pores and infusing them with fresh oxygen. It also releases heat in the surrounding water through each popping bubble and helps keep the bath warm, which allows for longer soak times.
Safe Step walk-in tub installation
Safe Step walk-in tub installations are typically completed in less than one day. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Certified installers arrive at your home to install your new walk-in tub. Before starting, they go over project details and specifications and answer any questions you still have about the process.
- The installers remove your old shower or tub and dispose of the materials.
- Safe Step then prepares your bathroom by addressing any issues with the subfloor or plumbing.
- The new walk-in tub is brought in, leveled and installed.
- The fixtures are installed.
- Special panels, molding and trim are added around the walk-in tub to give it a seamless finish.
- The certified installer will review operating instructions with you.
- Final assessment and cleanup are performed by the installers.
Safe Step FAQ
How does Safe Step’s anti-scald technology work?

How do I clean a Safe Step tub?
Safe Step recommends rinsing the tub with warm water using the hand-held shower wand after every bath. Aside from that, you can use any mild bathroom cleaning product to keep your tub in good shape. The sanitary gel coating that comes standard with all Safe Step products automatically provides a mold- and bacteria-resistant surface.
Can you customize your Safe Step walk-in tub?
Yes, Safe Step offers a few different customization options for your tub or shower, including wall surrounds, faucet colors and various product features.
Does Medicare cover a Safe Step walk-in tub?

What is Safe Step’s warranty?

Still have questions?
Do we recommend Safe Step?
Yes, we recommend Safe Step. The company’s walk-in tubs and showers are a great option for seniors aging in place, people with arthritis or mobility concerns and homeowners looking for a safer bathing experience. Safe Step offers a luxury bathing experience that includes safety features and comfort upgrades like low step-in heights and grab bars alongside hydrotherapy and spa-style options.
One downside is that Safe Step does not provide transparent pricing online. Its representatives determine pricing on a case-by-case basis, so you won’t know your total tub cost until you go through the free consultation. However, the company offers financing options, promotional discounts and a lifetime warranty on installed tubs and showers.
If you’re considering a walk-in tub, we recommend reading Safe Step customer reviews and requesting a free in-home consultation to compare features, pricing and installation options for your home.

I LOVE my Safe Step tub! I have used it almost everyday since I purchased it more than 8 years ago. The repair person who came to my house (sorry I don't remember his name) was on time, scheduled it quickly, fixed everything I requested, and more. He was pleasant, listened to my concerns, and I will continue to recommend the product. Initially, I wondered about the "life-time" guarantee... I won't worry anymore! You really meant it!

It's great to hear that our warranty process met your expectations and that our team was quick and professional. Thank you for choosing Safe Step!

Ron, George, McKenzie, and Brandon were very professional, polite, and kind, they were fantastic guests and workers! They worked diligently until everything was completed. George explained everything to my Dad and myself-operating the tub, cleaning the tub, how often, how and where to maintain door seal and frame, what can be used to clean it and what cannot be used, how to add aroma therapy drops, the maintenance, and he was very willing and happy to answer any questions we had! He also provided an 800 number for my Dad to call for any warranty questions or anything else he may be concerned about.
George also did a fantastic job with the installation of the new toilet. Ron showed us exactly how to operate everything on the tub very thoroughly and was also very willing and happy to answer any and all of our questions! They also cleaned and disposed of any and all trash. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to a friend, or ANYBODY! They are all amazing people to know!

My experience was done with patience and they explained everything they did and why? The door plug they showed me the different sound of a new one compared to my clogged one - they tighten every loose facet - explained the operation that I was concerned about (the aroma apartment) how to clean my shower heads for better flow! They were very knowledgeable about the tub and his functions!! After they maintained my tub works better - more water flow and no leaks! I was very pleased with my first maintained on 4-6-2026!! So proud of my investment to know when it doesn’t work perfect? First Step will send professionals to make sure it does!!!

Rich and Laura performed my service. A few days prior they set up a time that was convenient for my schedule. On the day of service they notified me when they were coming. They replaced the part explaining to me the problem and showed me what they were replacing. During the service they checked everything and found a second part that needed replacing. They will order it and return to replace that and said everything else looked good. They also educated me on the best process to keep the jets clean and answered all my questions. They were very pleasant and I appreciate they took the time to check everything and find a problem that I wouldn't have known about until there was a major problem. I wish all service people were so helpful and thorough.
Janet, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that Rich and Laura provided such thorough and informative care during your service.

I just had a Safe Step walk in tub installed in my house. My wife and I researched different companies and Safestep was our choice. Phil, our salesman. His knowledge and expertise sold us. He was outstanding, answering all of our questions and explaining the features of the tub and the installation process fully. The day of our install, our technicians Anthony and Luke arrived on time and ready to accomplish the task. They were both very professional and courteous. They took extra care to make sure my house remained clean during the demo and removal of my old tub and commode and were extremely methodical and precise in the reconstruction and installation and wiring of my new tub and commode.
There were two times where there were options in the installation and Anthony explained each one to me and let me have the choice of how he would proceed. Giving me that option to choose which one would be better for my family and I showed me that they cared about more that getting the job done. They also cared about how the finished product would fit into our family. The pride they took in their workmanship reflect both in their character and safestep as a company.
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us, Arthur! Our team always strives to exceed customer expectations by ensuring a smooth journey, from choosing the right product to a careful and precise installation. Your kind words about the care and quality of workmanship mean a lot to us. If there's anything you need in the future or any assistance required, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for choosing Safe Step!

Very professional installation both the installer and electrician. They were respectful to my property. After putting the conduit in the electrician even painted the conduit so it matched my house. After the install they cleaned up and showed me how to use my tub. I would recommend the Safe Step team highly.
