During your free quote appointment, a Reveal by KOHLER Authorized Dealer arrives at your home at the scheduled date and time. At this time, they will normally ask about any previously completed home improvement projects and renovations.

 

The KOHLER Authorized Dealer also explains the features and benefits of a walk-in bathtub and identifies your goals for the walk-in bath installation. Next, they review the aspects of your home that influence the installation process and labor, such as stairs and existing bathroom fixtures.

Since every walk-in bath and home is different, the total cost varies for each bathroom. Here are a few factors that Reveal by KOHLER Authorized Dealers use to determine the ultimate cost for labor and product:

 

Location of Tub

It typically costs between $2,500 and $8,000 to install a walk-in tub, depending on the complexity of the job. The location of the tub is a major factor when considering the level of work required. 

 

For example, if your bathroom is on the second or third floor, then this might make the installation process take longer, which could affect the cost.

 

Size of Bathroom

KOHLER Authorized Dealers also use your bathroom size to calculate the cost for installation. This includes measuring the door widths, stair widths, and entrance walkways to ensure that you can safely access your new walk-in bath. Your installers may need to modify the doorways during the installation to make room for your new walk-in bath.

Design of the Current Bathtub

During your quote appointment, the KOHLER Authorized Dealer looks at the length and width of the existing tub or shower, along with the distance between the tub and toilet. To promote safety, the rep also notes any existing safety bars and walls around the tub.

 

Water Heater Capacity and Electrical Panel Type

The water heater and electrical panels are important for powering your walk-in bath and its comfort features, such as whirlpool jets and a heated backrest. The Reveal by KOHLER Authorized Dealer also looks at your bathroom’s hot water and electric capabilities to identify any required renovations for installing your walk-in bath. KOHLER recommends that you have a new 50+ gallon water tank to maintain the preferred water temperature in the bath, which can cost between $1,500-$5,000.

 

 Walk-In Bath Design Choices

You can customize your walk-in bath to create your most comfortable experience. Choose from a variety of bathroom wall designs, bath colors, and faucet finishes that complement your walk-in bath with perfect harmony. 

 

You can also outfit your bath with the optional Shower Package to add greater functionality. Explore our walk-in tub price guide for a more comprehensive look into how KOHLER calculates the complete price of the walk-in bath and what other cost-related factors go into the purchasing decision.
