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.

I researched a lot of walk in tubs. I called and requested more information on the tub and installation process. A gentleman named John came to our house. He had all of the info we wanted. There was never any pressure for us to buy the tube. We decided to order our tub. They set up a delivery date and instead of being late they called and asked if they could bring it sooner. When it arrived, there were four gentlemen with it. They installed that tub in less than five hours. When they had finished you could not tell they were ever there. Our bathroom was as clean as whistle. They also were very professional and polite. Could not have asked fora better crew. When we first used it, we had a minor problem. I call them and they were right on it. The service man again was great. Fixed the problem in a few minutes and was gone. My wife and I are very pleased with tub and the company. We look forward to using it for years.

was curious to see if medicare can help with these tubs, i went on the safe step web site- not the "sponsored ad" but the actual company's web site just to feel out options and read into it, I wanted to have literature sent so i gave partial personal information- thought i was going to deal with one vendor, but within seconds, i was bombarded with phone calls, texts and emails- it was crazy !! i specifically wanted to avoid this, but i guess that is the downside of AI/ my cell provider or the company itself- i block, ignore and STOP these solicitations as best i can and still had messages left, people come to my door/leave pamphlets etc. Ahhh!! how can i contact the companies I CHOOSE exclusively without others intercepting my usage? BTW, I spoke with my doctors and insurance company about what DME qualifies and it may be possible for financial assistance but is it worth all the interference?

Our tub leaked from the beginning. A constant chronic problem. It was a brand new tub and 2 payments in and we still can’t use it. No compensation for the inconvenience. They are coming to install another brand new tub in a week and a half. Very dissatisfied at the length of time that we are unable to use tub. They say our compensation is their life time guarantee. Well we say that’s not enough! Stay tuned!

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.

An excellent product. I have had one installed since January, 2018 and it is everything that has been advertised about it. The installation was professional and the company has been friendly and professional too. No negatives from me. I love the Safe Step tub.

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.

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!

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.
