Walk-in tubs combine the accessibility of a low-threshold entry with the therapeutic features of a soaking tub. For many, they afford the independence needed to safely age in place. ZINTEX Remodeling Group is a trusted bathroom remodeler that offers walk-in tub installation across the south and midwest, but how much do our walk-in tubs cost?

We’ve realized that providing upfront pricing transparency is one of the best ways to empower customers to make decisions that support their goals. Read on as we break down the cost of walk-in tub installation from ZINTEX.

Breaking Down Our Walk-In Tub Price Range
Due to their complexity and material requirements, walk-in tubs are generally more expensive than walk-in showers or tub-and-shower combinations. At ZINTEX, our walk-in tubs typically cost between $20,000 and $35,000+. Let’s break that down and talk about what you can expect from your walk-in tub design at different price points.
Basic Walk-In Tub: Cost and Features
On the lowest end, you’ll find walk-in tubs that don’t have a ton of bells and whistles. A basic walk-in tub from ZINTEX is going to cost an average of $20,000-$25,000. At this price range, you can design a walk-in tub that:
- Has a basic design
- Comes with standard fixtures
- Makes use of your existing wall surround system
This is the ideal walk-in tub for anyone who is primarily looking for the soaking feature of a standard bathtub but needs the accessibility of a walk-in bathtub. It’s also important to note that this price range does not come with the acrylic wall system that you’ll see with our deluxe walk-in tub remodels.
Intermediate Walk-In Tub: Cost and Features
Next, we have our intermediate walk-in tubs. At the intermediate level, ZINTEX walk-in tubs will cost between $25,000-$30,000. At this price range, you can design a walk-in tub that:
- Has a basic design
- Comes with standard fixtures
- Makes use of your existing wall surround system
- Incorporates 1-2 custom accessories, like a retractable shower wand and a bath screen to improve water containment
An intermediate walk-in tub is best for homeowners who want a tub-and-shower combination without the hazards of a standard tub. Adding something like a shower wand and bath screen makes it easier to shampoo and rinse your hair while using your walk-in tub.
Deluxe Walk-In Tub: Cost and Features
On the high end, we have our deluxe walk-in tubs. Deluxe ZINTEX walk-in tubs typically cost between $30,000-$35,000+. At this price, you can design a walk-in tub that:
- Has more design features
- Includes premium multi-purpose fixtures, including hydrotherapy and massage jets
- Includes an acrylic shower wall system
- Has 2-4 custom accessories, including grab bars and shelves that we can install directly on your new acrylic walls
This type of walk-in tub design is ideal for homeowners looking for the therapeutic benefits of walk-in tub jets. Thanks to our premium acrylic wall surrounds, deluxe design options can give your bathroom an attractive, modern look and feel.
What Is Included in Your ZINTEX Walk-In Tub Estimate?
We understand that the price tag on a new walk-in tub can be a little overwhelming at first glance. It’s important to note that your ZINTEX walk-in tub estimate is a barrel price that includes more than just the tub itself. That estimate also covers installation, long-term support, and everything in between.
Let’s break that down a little more. Whether your ZINTEX walk-in tub estimate is $20,000 or $35,000, it’s going to cover the cost of:
- Walk-in tub materials: Any materials we need to bring your design to life, from the walk-in tub unit to your accessories and acrylic shower walls.
- Demolition: All equipment, labor, and haul-away services needed to remove your existing tub or shower.
- Electrical: The required wiring and outlets to safely power your walk-in tub features, including jets and fast-drain technology.
- Plumbing: Any plumbing replacements or reconfigurations needed to optimize your drainage system and accommodate your walk-in tub.
- Structural support: All necessary subflooring and structural repairs needed to support your walk-in tub and any additional features your design includes.
- Walk-in tub installation: Professional installation of your walk-in tub unit and all of its complex features, as well as your customized fixtures, accessories, and wall surround system if applicable.
- Lifetime support: Your ZINTEX walk-in tub manufacturer and labor warranties that provide limited lifetime coverage to protect your investment.
Top Factors That Impact the Cost of a ZINTEX Walk-In Tub
Now you know a little more about our walk-in tub pricing model and the items included in your walk-in tub estimate. Before we wrap things up, let’s talk about the two biggest factors that will determine where your walk-in tub cost lands in our typical price range: scope and customizations.
The Scope of Your Bathroom Remodel
When we’re talking about the scope of a bathroom remodel, we’re talking about the size and complexity of the project as a whole.
For example, a walk-in tub installation has a smaller scope if the new tub has the same dimensions as the old tub, you’re not installing wall surrounds, and you don’t need new plumbing.
Budgeting tip: The bigger the scope, the more materials and labor it will take, and the more it will cost. To reduce your scope and your walk-in tub cost, install your walk-in tub in the same location that housed your original tub or shower so you don’t have to drastically reconfigure your plumbing.

Your Walk-In Tub Features and Customizations
The features and customizations you incorporate into your walk-in tub design will also have a major impact on your total estimate.
For example, it will cost more to upgrade from a standard walk-in tub unit to a walk-in tub with hydrotherapy features. It will also cost more to install a new wall surround with accessories like grab bars and storage.
Budgeting tip: The more you deviate from a standard design with basic fixtures, the higher your total cost will be. That said, some features, like hydrotherapy jets, may be more of a must-have than aesthetic upgrades like wall surrounds. Work with your design consultant to prioritize the features you need while staying in your budget.
