About

Walk-In Tub Lab is an independent editorial site about walk-in tubs: what a tub costs installed, which features matter for a given mobility need, how the door seal and step-in height actually work, and what a bathroom has to be able to take before a tub goes in. We are not a dealer, an installer or an occupational therapist — we do not sell tubs, and we do not give medical advice.

What we publish

• Cost guides with the tub, door-seal, electrical and permit lines separated.
• Method guides that explain acrylic, gelcoat and shower-conversion options and what each requires of the room.
• Problem guides that start with the measurement — doorway width, floor space, drain position, water-heater recovery — rather than the product.
• Comparisons decided on step-in height, seat, door-seal design and five-year service.
• Installer guides: licence, insurance, warranty terms and what voids a door-seal warranty.

How we work

• Manufacturer spec sheets and installation manuals before marketing copy.
• Dimensional checks first: doorway, turning space, drain location, water-heater recovery.
• Ranges, not fake precision; an estimate is labelled and its inputs are shown.
• Affiliate links disclosed; placement never follows commission.

Who writes it

The byline is Walk-In Tub Lab Editorial Team, edited byDiane Whitaker. Every article lists its sources, and every cost figure names the document or price guide it came from. When a reader sends a quote that contradicts a band, the band and the quote both go on the page.

What we do not do

We do not install or sell tubs, and we do not give medical advice. If you need an occupational-therapy assessment or a home-modification grant, the right people are your doctor, your local Area Agency on Aging or a licensed contractor — our role is to explain what the products do and what they cost.
