Most walk in tubs in Texarkana, 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 Texarkana, 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.
Texarkana, Arkansas is the Miller County seat, the Arkansas half of a twin city split by the state line. This page is about the Arkansas side. The housing there is older than the state average: in the Census American Community Survey 2019 to 2023 estimates, 53.2 percent of homes were built before 1980 and 21 percent before 1960, against 40.5 and 13.8 percent statewide, and only 9.2 percent were built after 2010. The median year built is 1978. The age of the owners matters as much as the age of the houses. Some 18.7 percent of owner households moved in before 1990, compared with 13 percent statewide, and among residents 75 and older, 62.9 percent report a disability, one of the highest figures in our service area. Among those 65 and older, 33.2 percent report an ambulatory difficulty and 21 percent an independent living difficulty. In a 1960s or 1970s Texarkana house, that usually means a long time owner and a standard tub that has become hard to climb into. That is why walk in tubs come up here more than in most markets. Our August 2026 Texarkana project reworked the plumbing, added two GFCI outlets for safety and custom built the surround so a new walk in tub lined up with the existing granite. The homeowner, Mike M., wrote: "I wish I had purchased a walk in tub 5 years ago." He also noted that removing the old tub and installing the new one took less than 8 hours. In July 2026 a second Texarkana bath got a new 60x32 white tub with a smooth wall system, oil rubbed bronze Delta fixtures and two shelves. In an older house the outlets and wiring near the tub may need updating, as on that August job, so the designer checks the panel and the route to the bathroom at the consultation. A tub or shower replacement without electrical work is usually simpler. Nearby Ashdown, in Little River County, has had two shower replacements, in September 2025 and September 2026, including a cast iron base tear out. From the Hot Springs showroom the trip is about 110 miles by car, so Miller County visits are booked on set days and take place at your house. Owner occupancy on the Arkansas side is 56 percent, and the share of households with someone 65 or older living alone is 12.5 percent, close to the state. Someone bathing without help needs fewer steps rather than more features: a door that swings easily, a seat at sitting height, a fast drain on the tub and a bar to hold at the entry.
Per American Community Survey data the median home in Texarkana was built around 1978, which makes the typical house about 48 years old. There are roughly 13,738 housing units here with a median value near $162,700. Most of Texarkana went up in the postwar decades. The framing on these homes is usually sound, but original supply lines, drains, wiring, and subfloors are old enough to be worth checking while the walk in tubs work already has the room open. A large share of occupied homes here are rented, so scheduling and approvals often run through an owner or a property manager rather than the person who answers the door. We are used to that, and we keep both parties on the same email so nothing stalls. Values in Texarkana sit toward the lower end of the markets we serve, so the question is usually which option returns the most service life per dollar, and we will show you the point where spending more stops paying for itself. Those numbers are the starting point for how we plan walk in tubs projects in Texarkana. 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 Texarkana, 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 Texarkana area, including:
Texarkana is one of the farther markets on this site: about 110 miles from the Hot Springs showroom at 125 Greenwood Ave, Hot Springs, AR 71913, around 2 hours by road. Consultations here are scheduled ahead and grouped by area, and the designer brings the samples to you.
From the job cards filed after each install, nearest first:
August 2026, in Texarkana: A poorly configured bathroom layout needed a functional upgrade. We reworked the plumbing and installed two new GFCI outlets to enhance safety. A custom WIT was built to fit the designated space, ensuring the new Alexis WI Tub lined up perfectly with the granite for a seamless integration. This transformation not only improved usability but also elevated the overall aesthetic.
July 2026, in Texarkana: A damaged tub and shower system was hindering daily use. We installed a sleek 60x32 white tub with a smooth wall system, complemented by elegant Delta fixtures in oil rubbed bronze. To enhance functionality, we added two single white shelves for storage and a straight shower rod, ensuring a stylish and practical upgrade to the 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.
A walk in tub in Texarkana, 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.
The median Texarkana home was built around 1978 per Census American Community Survey data, so a large share of the housing stock is 48 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.
Texarkana, Arkansas is the Miller County seat, the Arkansas half of a twin city split by the state line. Bath Planet of Arkansas plans around those specifics from the first visit.
“I wish I had purchased a walk in tub 5 years ago. The Bath Planet tub with the water jets, aroma and light therapy is the top of the line product. The removal of my old tub and installation of the new one was less than 8 hours.”
