Two ways brands sell
Direct with an in-home visit. Safe Step, KOHLER Walk-In Bath and Independent Home price the job after a consultation. The quote usually includes installation.
Through stores and dealers. American Standard, Jacuzzi and Ella's Bubbles tubs are also sold by retailers. Prices there are often tub-only, and you arrange installation.
