Whirlpool baths or hot tubs, better known as jacuzzis, are hydrotherapy bathtubs with headrests and ergonomic seats to ensure you’re comfortable while receiving messages from water jets. “Jacuzzi” is the name of a popular brand that’s become synonymous with bathtubs, so we’ll use these terms interchangeably.

This is the generic name for bathtubs that feature water jets, Jacuzzi-branded or not. They generally cost $1,000 to $6,000.
Walk-in tubs are bathtubs with a small door for helping people with mobility challenges enter and bathe. Walk-in tubs cost $2,000 to $12,000 before installation. Models with jets generally cost $2,000 to $10,000. Basic models without jets cost around $1,500 to $5,000. Besides installation costs, consider maintenance costs for walk-in tubs.
An air tub serves the same purpose as a whirlpool tub but uses jets of air rather than water. The result is equally relaxing but has more bubbles, and the massages are subtler. Some people prefer these over traditional whirlpool tubs. They cost a little under $1,000 to over $5,000.
Each type of jacuzzi bathtub has specific installation costs to consider.

Removing a traditional bathtub for a jacuzzi requires additional plumbing and electrical wiring. Depending on your current water heater’s capacity, you may need to replace it to ensure your tub constantly circulates warm water.
Additionally, depending on the new tub’s size, you may want or need to remodel the tile layout at least partially.
Naturally, larger tub sizes that accommodate more than one person are more complex and potentially require more staff to install. All of this drives up the price. Also, unusually-shaped tubs you have to custom-order cost more, too.
Most installations cost $450 to $2,000. You could expect $600 to $1,000 for simple installs without major remodels. Complex installations could cost over $7,000. Consider that labor rates are generally higher in metropolitan areas than rural ones.
Reinforcing the framing will cost up to $800, and the new framing will cost $3,000 to $9,000.
Your contractor will likely need to reinforce the bathroom floor before installing the tub. Jacuzzi bathtubs are generally larger and heavier and accumulate water. Added to one or two people’s weights, it can be a lot for the current tub framing.
