What is a tub cut conversion?

A tub cut conversion turns your existing bathtub into a safe step in shower. We cut a low opening into the side wall of the tub, then install a molded waterproof insert that is bonded and sealed in place.

The tub stays where it is. There is no demolition, no new plumbing, and no torn out tile. Most installs take 2 to 4 hours, and the tub can be used the same day.

Why people choose a tub cut

  • Removes the most common bathroom fall hazard: stepping over a high tub wall
  • Keeps the tub, tile, and fixtures you already have
  • A fraction of the cost and time of a bathroom remodel
  • Done in one visit, with cleanup included
  • Lifetime waterproof warranty on every job

    Dust and debris leave with us. The tub is ready to use the same day.
