If stepping over the side of the bathtub has become difficult, a bathtub cutout may be a practical solution.
A section of the existing tub wall is carefully removed and finished with a purpose built step insert. This creates a much lower entrance while keeping the existing bathtub and surrounding bathroom largely intact.
A cutout is not the right solution for every situation. If balance, transfers or standing in the shower are also concerns, grab bars, a transfer bench or another bathing setup may also be worth considering.
Not sure a bathtub cut out is right for you? Read our complete Bathtub Cutout Toronto Guide:
We look at the bathtub, its construction and the surrounding area to confirm that it is suitable for conversion.
The location is measured and a section of the tub wall is carefully removed.
A purpose built insert is fitted, supported and sealed to create a clean, durable opening.
The tub or shower should generally remain unused for about 48 hours while the installation cures. You can use the rests of the bathroom right away.
The cost depends on the type and condition of the bathtub, the insert required, and any complications discovered during installation.
We aim to keep our pricing competitive. If you have a written quote from another qualified provider for comparable work, we are happy to review it and will do our best to match the price where the scope, materials, installation method and other conditions are genuinely comparable.
Send us a few photos of your tub and we can often provide a good initial sense of the work involved and expected cost.
