TubcuT: Transforming Bathrooms & Transforming Lives

As we age, many seniors prefer to stay in their homes. With that comes the need to modify existing spaces to make life easier. Consider adding handrails, increasing lighting and security, removing tripping hazards, and remodeling to include a handicap-accessible bathroom shower. Getting in and out of a bathtub is often challenging for many seniors. A tub-to-shower conversion by TubcuT™ is one of the best and least costly ways to improve accessibility in an existing bathroom. Here are some of the benefits of this type of remodel.

Accessibility and Safety

At TubcuT™, our number one goal for our clients is to provide a safe and accessible way to take care of personal hygiene needs. Conversion of bathtubs to walk-in tubs for seniors eliminates the need to climb over the side of the bathtub. It allows for direct access to a shower when mobility is compromised. The tub modification creates a four-inch step-over curb to prevent water from spilling onto the floor, which would otherwise cause a hazard. Wall-mounted grab bars enhance a walk-in tub’s safety to prevent slips, falls, and injuries.

Customizable Solutions

We take pride in our attention to detail by customizing our products to fit your unique bathroom layout. We don’t use the one-size-fits-all bath conversion solution. Universal tub inserts don’t always fit. Our skilled technicians take precise measurements on-site before fabricating the walk-in tub pieces. This ensures that the insert is the correct size and shape. The insert panels are half-inch thick and are bonded to your tub without unsightly seams.

Our tub-to-shower conversions aren’t limited to standard bathtubs. The process is suitable for deck-mounted tubs, soaking tubs, tile-faced tubs, and whirlpool baths. We also offer colors to match your existing décor.

Cost Effective

There is no need to completely renovate your bathroom with a TubcuT™ bathtub to shower conversion. There is little demolition involved because we modify the existing tub in place. This saves labor costs and doesn’t require much cleanup. Our technicians cut the existing tub and create a small curb at the base to step over. This also serves as a barrier for water from the shower to drain properly and not spill onto the adjacent floor. We can modify any tub, including cast iron, fiberglass, steel, and acrylic. We use only the most durable infill materials sourced from local suppliers.

Completely Reversible

It is important to note that a tub-to-shower conversion is reversible. If you intend to sell your home or no longer need a walk-in tub, the bathtub can be restored to its original condition. This is achieved by the homeowner safely storing the cut-out that TubcuT™ made in an attic, dry basement, or enclosed garage away from the elements. This is advantageous if you intend to appeal to a wider variety of potential buyers than just seniors.
