What Is the Cost of a KOHLER Walk-In Bath with Installation?

The average cost to install a KOHLER walk-in bath falls between $20,000 and $29,000, or more depending on the scope and customization of your remodel.

 

Your local Reveal by KOHLER Authorized Dealer will conduct an in-depth analysis of your bathroom space, plumbing, and electrical outputs to assess the final walk-in bath installation cost. Based on the features you’ve chosen, and other installation factors determined in the consultation, we will quote you one price that we will honor for 90 days.

  • Most step-in tubs, such as the KOHLER walk-in bath, easily fit in the footprint of a traditional tub (60" L x 30"-32" W) and won’t require extensive renovations. If you install a larger tub, like a bariatric model, you’ll pay higher labor costs to move walls, fixtures, or cabinets.

  • For specialty walk-in tubs like those with air or whirlpool jets, installation costs can be higher because of the extra electrical and plumbing work it takes to set up those features.

  • Walk-in baths require more water than traditional tubs. Most manufacturers recommend that you have a new 50+ gallon water tank to maintain the preferred water temperature in the bath. This could cost up to $5,600.3

  • Some companies charge an additional fee of $250-$700 to remove the old tub before installing your new walk-in tub. Reveal by KOHLER remodeling includes this step as part of their professional installation service.

What Are the Alternatives to a Walk-In Tub?

Walk-in tubs are not the only safe bathing solution available for seniors or those with mobility challenges. Learn about alternative options to a walk-in bath below.

  • Assisted Living & In-Home Care

    Long-Term Care Services

     

    • Home Health Aide: $80,080 per year4
    • Assisted Living Facility: $74,400 per year4
    • Skilled Nursing Facility: $129,575 per year4

     

    *Estimates are the national annual median cost in 2025

     

    Seniors who need help with medical and/or personal care may benefit from in-home or long-term residential care. Unlike a walk-in bath, which is a one-time purchase, care services require yearly payments. A person's individual needs and level of independence will determine the type of care and assistance needed.

  • In-Home Alternatives

    Bath Safety Equipment to Improve Home Accessibility

     

    • Bath/Shower Chair: $30- $8003
    • Transfer Bench: $50 - $4003
    • Bathtub Lift: $350 - $3,0003

     

    Bath chairs, transfer benches and other bath safety equipment allow individuals with various mobility needs to shower or bathe in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. These in-home alternatives are ideal for people who consider safety a top priority and can go without enhanced comfort features.

  • Walk-In Showers

    Roll-In or Walk-In Showers

     

    Low Barrier or Curbless Showers for Enhanced Independence and Safety.

     

    Accessible showers like walk-in and roll-in showers promote independence and safety. The main difference between the two is the curb height—walk-ins feature a low-step base, while roll-ins are barrier-free and may be wheelchair accessible. You can expect to pay between $5,000 to $30,000+ for a roll-in or walk-in shower without installation. The KOHLER® LuxStone® shower is a safe and beautiful walk-in solution for those who are not ready to purchase a walk-in tub, but may require stability features like a low step-in and grab bars.

Where Can I Shop for a Walk-In Tub?

When deciding which to buy from, consider the differences in customer service, incentives, and warranties. Here’s what you can expect from each seller:

  • Purchase From Manufacturer

    When you purchase a KOHLER walk-in bath, you're choosing quality from a trusted industry leader. Enjoy a free in-home consultation with a custom quote, along with professional installation services from a Reveal by KOHLER Authorized Dealer.

  • Purchase From Big-Box and Online Retailer

    Big-box home improvement retailers offer a wide range of walk-in tubs, but don’t include installation cost in their pricing. You can install the tub yourself or find a professional installer to help. Make sure to check if your tub comes with a warranty.

  • Purchase From Contractor

    Before hiring a general contractor to purchase and install your walk-in tub, confirm that they are familiar with the installation process and are fully insured, bonded and licensed in your state.

  • Total

    $5,500 - $38,000+

FAQs

  • Maintenance costs are typically low for walk-in tubs. Jetted tubs or those with electric features will require extra upkeep.

     

    Quality manufacturers and installation professionals often provide long-term customer service, maintenance and warranties for their walk-in tub to give you peace of mind for years to come.

  • Medicare does not cover the cost or installation of a walk-in tub, except in rare situations.5 This is because a walk-in tub is not considered “durable medical equipment,” which is a device designed to support a medical condition.

  • This program is more likely to pay for a walk-in tub through opportunities like a home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver.6

  • If you’re a veteran, you may qualify to receive financial assistance for a walk-in tub through the Department of Veterans Affairs.6

  • The USDA offers loans and grants to low-income older adults in rural areas that cover safety-based home repairs, improvements or modifications like a walk-in bath.6

     

    For more information, contact the individual programs and departments to see if you qualify for financial assistance.
