Most walk in tubs in Maumelle, AR cost $14,000 to $20,000 installed. A standard soaker sits toward the low end of that range, while a wider door, a larger tub and plumbing or floor repairs push it up, and a fully loaded tub with a shower and rain shower head typically runs $20,000 to $36,000. The tub is set in your existing alcove in as little as one day and carries the manufacturer's lifetime warranty on the tub shell, door, faucets and electrical parts, with installation backed by Bath Planet of Arkansas.
If you are weighing walk in tubs work in Maumelle, AR, the right number depends on the scope, the materials you choose, and the condition of what is there now. Below is what most local homeowners pay, what moves the price, and how we handle the job from inspection through cleanup.
Maumelle owners are more likely to remodel ahead of need than in response to it. The city on the north bank of the Arkansas River, northwest of Little Rock, is almost entirely modern housing: Census American Community Survey 2019 to 2023 estimates put the median home at 2001, with 53.4 percent built in 2000 or later and fewer than one percent before 1960. It also has the highest median home value of any market we serve, about $276,900, and three homes in four are owner occupied. Very few owners have been in place since the 1980s, only 2.8 percent, because most of the town did not exist yet. Households skew older than that newness suggests. Residents 65 and older are 17.6 percent of the city, right at the state level, and 32.4 percent of households include someone 65 or older. The difference is in health: just 2.6 percent of Maumelle residents 65 and older report a self care difficulty, against 8.6 percent statewide, and the overall disability rate for that group is 28.6 percent compared with 40.3 percent in Arkansas. In other words, many Maumelle owners who call are healthy and in their sixties and want the main bath to work for them at 85 without looking like a hospital room. That is a design brief rather than a repair. It usually means turning a large soaking tub into a walk in shower with a low threshold and a built in bench, adding blocking and grab bars that look like towel bars, choosing a handheld shower head on a slide bar, and picking a stone look wall pattern that matches the rest of a newer house. Around Lake Willastein and Lake Valencia, the city's two recreation lakes, owners who convert a main bath often keep a tub in a second bath for visiting grandchildren. Because the houses are recent, the plumbing is predictable and most conversions finish in about a day. The Little Rock showroom on West Markham is about 20 minutes across the river, and it is an easy place to compare wall finishes before the designer visits. Veterans make up 9.1 percent of adults, a little above the state, and 16.1 percent of residents 65 and older report an ambulatory difficulty, well under the Arkansas rate. Building continues too, with 16.1 percent of homes added since 2010, so some owners call about a bath that is only a few years old but was never set up for the way they plan to live in it. The usual answer is to change the shower base and walls once, to a layout that already includes a bench and bar blocking, rather than adding pieces later.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Maumelle was built around 2001, which makes the typical house about 25 years old. The market covers about 8,254 homes, and the median value sits near $276,900. That makes Maumelle comparatively new construction. Interior work on a house this age is more often about upgrade choices than about surprises behind the walls, and it tends to land close to the estimate. The clear majority of occupied homes are owner occupied, which keeps most decisions with the household rather than with a manager, and usually means one walkthrough instead of three rounds of approvals. That local mix shapes how we scope and schedule walk in tubs work here. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.

We are a local bath and shower installer and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
If you would rather soak than shower, a walk in tub keeps that habit going safely. Entry is through a door rather than over a wall, the seat is part of the shell, and the floor is textured. Grab bars go where your hands land. Because most Maumelle, AR tubs fit the alcove the old tub left, the room is back in use by the next day.
Bath Planet of Arkansas works across the Maumelle area, including:
Maumelle is about 12 miles from the Little Rock showroom at 6000 W Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72205, roughly 20 minutes by car. That is close enough that many people drive over to compare wall patterns and fixtures for a walk in tubs project before the in home measurement, though nothing requires it.
From the job cards filed after each install, nearest first:
September 2026, in Little Rock, about 9 miles away: A dated shower unit was in need of a modern upgrade. We removed the old surround and installed a sleek new smooth wall system, complemented by a stylish double sliding barn door. The Delta fixtures enhance the overall aesthetic, while the added shelves provide convenient storage. This transformation not only revitalizes the space but also improves functionality.
November 2025, in Hot Springs, about 45 miles away: Water infiltration issues were a concern due to a worn out shower surround. We removed the old surround and installed a sleek spray foam base. To enhance the space, we added a bypass shower door and a smooth wall system, along with chrome Delta fixtures and grab bars, ensuring a modern and safe shower experience.
A walk in tub in Maumelle, AR typically costs $14,000 to $20,000 installed. A standard soaker sits toward the low end, and a wider door, a larger tub, a fast drain or plumbing and floor repairs move it up. A fully loaded walk in tub with a shower and rain shower head typically runs $20,000 to $36,000. These are typical figures; the written price comes after a free measure of your bathroom.
Plan on a few minutes to fill, because you sit down before the water goes in. A fast drain empties most tubs in about two to three minutes, which keeps you from sitting in a cooling tub. A fast drain is an add on that moves the price up within the typical $14,000 to $20,000 range.
Walk in tubs from Bath Planet of Arkansas carry the tub manufacturer's lifetime warranty on the shell, door hinge, locking handle, faucets, door seal and electrical components, and Bath Planet of Arkansas backs the installation. The manufacturer's warranty does not cover labor or installation and stays with the original owner, subject to its written terms. Typical installed prices run $14,000 to $20,000, and the warranty terms are handed over with the written price.
Door width, tub size and a shower combo are what move a walk in tub up the typical $14,000 to $20,000 range. A wide door or bariatric shell costs more than a standard soaker, and a fast drain adds a little. A fully loaded walk in tub with a shower and rain shower head runs $20,000 to $36,000, and any plumbing, electrical or floor repair found during the swap is priced in writing before work starts.
Most walk in tubs are installed in as little as one day when the new tub goes into the old alcove. Our own install team removes the existing tub, sets the walk in tub, connects the plumbing and hauls the debris away. Moving the drain or repairing a soft floor under the old tub can add time, which is spelled out in the written price before any work starts.
In most homes it will. Standard walk in tubs are sized for the common 60 inch alcove, so the new tub usually goes where the old one was and the install takes about one day. Wide door and bariatric tubs, which sit toward the top of the typical $14,000 to $20,000 range, may need a little more width. The consultant measures the alcove and the doorway before anything is ordered.
The median Maumelle home was built around 2001 per Census American Community Survey data, so a large share of the housing stock is 25 or more years old. That is the age where walk in tubs and the other big updates come due, and it is the work Bath Planet of Arkansas does every week.
Maumelle owners are more likely to remodel ahead of need than in response to it. Bath Planet of Arkansas plans around those specifics from the first visit.
