The Bad

  • Undisclosed Customer Service Information

Undisclosed Customer Service Information

Customers can contact Safe Step via telephone, online chat, or by email. However nowhere on the website does it specify the hours its customer service hours are available. While this is might not bother most customers, it would be nice if the website included this information. Even if the company offers 24/7 customer service, that should be disclosed on the website.

The Bottom Line

Safe Step stands out amongst other companies in the industry due to its lifetime warranty—which covers all parts of the walk-in tub, including the tub’s door seal, water pumps, heaters, and faucets. However, the company has plenty of other features that make Safe Step a great choice for a walk-in tub or shower. Customers can expect high-quality products with numerous safety and convenience features that will make for a stress-free bathing experience. 

We recommend customers call and get a free in-home consultation and quote to find a bathing solution that works with their unique needs.

The tub is fantastic! My client who has Celluitis has shown remarked improvements. Edema is totally under control due to circulation of air and water jets, Overall health is improved.The tub keeps him safe and more confident when getting in and out. Baths are now going for a Spa!

The Safe Step group sold a tub that they insured was large enough for the family members and it wasn’t . They left the bathroom where installed with electrical lines strung all over the space. It was a nightmare trying to speak to their customer service and ultimately we paid the tub off and then had it ripped out and replaced with a normal shower. DO NOT buy from Safe Step!

I used Safe Step to refinish all the tubs in my hotel a few years ago. The price was competitive so we selected this vendor. The entire process from getting the quote to completing the project went smoothly and as expected. Most importantly, we were very satisfied with the quality of work. Couple tubs had a some minor flaws but out of 100+ I wasn't too worried about it as again, they were minor.

My grandmother recently got in-home care since she has limited mobility, the hardest part for her has been assistance while bathing. We found Safe Step and the price was right. After installing the bath my grandmother was OVERJOYED, she now has the freedom to bathe herself and is so so happy.

This tub is very comfortable. The seal for the door is very solid and does not let out any water. However, as of late, there have been some leaks with the tub that has resulted in a plumber having to come out. I'm not sure if it just wasnt installed correctly, but it's a slight inconvenience.
