Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs and walk-in showers are ordered through your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850, and because every tub is assembled in Chicago and shipped nationwide, you do not need a store near you to get one. Each tub is built and tested to your configuration once the model, door side, therapy package, faucet and accessories are confirmed, as Ella's Bubbles Walk-In Tubs: A General Overview explains. Installation is done locally by a licensed plumber and electrician, and the team can help you get in touch with installers in your area.

How an Ella Order Comes Together

  • Choose the model. Ella offers tubs with inward swing doors, outward swing doors, extra-wide L-shaped doors for wheelchair users, several two-seat tubs and a lay-down option. The video on this page walks through that range and the features shared across the line, including fast-fill faucets, dual drains and independent foot massage.
  • Confirm the configuration. Your Ella dealer or the team confirms the model, door side, therapy package, faucet and accessories before the tub is built and tested.
  • Delivery. Tubs and showers ship nationwide, so customers across the country receive an Ella product regardless of where they live.
  • Installation. Ella does not send technicians and does not perform installations. Any licensed local plumber and electrician can install the tub using the owner's manual, with free technical support by phone and email, and your installer can call (800) 480-6850 during the job.

Looking for an In-Stock Walk-In Tub

Ella walk-in tubs are assembled and tested to order, and the total time from your order to delivery varies by model, options and current stock. No timeframe is promised here, so ask your Ella dealer or the team about timing for the specific tub and options you want. Sharing the spec sheet and manual with your installer before delivery means the rough-in is ready when the tub arrives.

Buying in Canada

Ella walk-in tubs ship to Canada regularly, and some customers there find it easiest to buy through Home Depot in Canada, a route the team has confirmed works well. Shower bases do not ship to Canada because they are fragile and easily damaged in transit. Ella has no installers of its own in Canada, so a local licensed contractor does the work, and duties, brokerage and taxes are the buyer's responsibility. The full picture is in Can Ella Ship a Walk-In Tub or Shower Base to Canada.

Paying with Insurance or a Medicare Plan

Ella's Bubbles does not bill insurance plans. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer supplemental benefits for bathroom safety devices or home modifications, but what each plan offers varies by plan and by year, and any reimbursement happens after you purchase. Check your plan's Evidence of Coverage and member services line before you order, as Medicare Advantage Plans, Supplemental Benefits and Bathroom Safety Equipment describes.
