How much does an Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tub cost?

Walk-in tubs from Ella’s Bubbles start at about $2,400 for the cheapest tub. The largest, two-person walk-in tub runs around $8,500. This cost does not include installation. Discounts and promotions are run regularly so if price is important to you, be sure to look for a deal.
Typically, the installation cost for a walk-in tub is several thousand dollars. The cost of a walk-in tub installation runs that high because a contractor must come in and remove the existing tub and subsequently make modifications in the bathroom before installing the new tub. It can take several days to complete all the electrical and plumbing changes.
Ella’s bubbles recommends a 60 gallon water heater for their tubs. Since many homes have a water heater that’s 40-50 gallons in size, this is an extra expense. This expense is not always discussed up front and can be a thousand dollars or more. While many of the spa systems come with an inline heater, that heater is meant to maintain the existing water temperature as the spa system runs. It does not heat filling water.
What Warranties come with an Ella’s Bubbles Walk-in Tub?
Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs come with a 5 year warranty on the pump components, the material components of the tub, and the electrical components. However, all the door seals sold with Ella’s Bubbles tubs come with a lifetime warranty.
How long does an Ella’s Bubbles Walk-in Tub take to fill up and drain?
Per the Ella’s Bubbles information about their tubs, it can take 8-10 minutes to fill. This time will be different depending on your water pressure. In houses with weaker water pressure, the fill time will be longer. An upgraded model with a heated seat can make the fill time more comfortable since there will always be a small wait.
Thankfully, the Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs come with a dual drain system. This means the tubs come with two 2-inch drains. The extra drain makes the time to remove water from the tub much faster than similar walk-in tubs. The drain time is only a few minutes.
How many jets does an Ella’s Bubbles Walk-in Tub come with?
Since there are many models of walk-in tubs sold by Ella’s bubbles, you will need to check the specific model. The soaking tubs come with no jets at all. Most of the spa systems come with more than twenty water jets and air jets.
Do I need to hire a plumber to install an Ella’s Bubbles Walk-in Tub?

Ella’s Bubbles will connect you to one of their preferred plumbers, but it’s also possible to find your own.
