Tub to Step in Shower Conversions

Tub to Shower Conversion

Safer access to your existing tub

NE Ohio seniors who've considered a tub to shower conversion but who have been dubious about the cost of a bathtub remodel now have a low cost option. Whether disabled, slowed by a handicap, arthritis or just the nuances of aging in place, our Affordable Step In Shower can provide safe walk-/ step in access to the shower already in the elderly senior’s bathtub.

Converting the existing bathtub is achieved via our patented tub to shower conversion kit. Regardless of the bathtub’s make-up (cast iron, fiberglass, etc.), we cut out & remove a portion of the tub’s sidewall. Our tubcut reduces the step height into the tub for safe step in shower access. Once the cut out is made, the opening is then capped with a custom fitted acrylic step. And since we keep a 2-3 inch lip on the inside wall of the inside wall of the tub, water from the shower's spray is maintained by covering the opening with a shower curtain. (For more details click on: Tub to Walk-in Shower Conversion Process.)

Because we utilize your existing bathtub, our walk-in shower conversion minimizes the cost of materials & labor generally incurred by a traditional bathtub to shower replacement / remodel. These cost savings have our NE Ohio seniors paying 80-90% LESS than they would have spent to replace their bathtub with a step in shower stall (via a remodel). For our model with a door (which retains the tub for bathing), see Bathtub to Walk thru Tub Conversions / Remodels (below).

Walk thru Bathtubs - Conversions / Remodels of Existing Tubs

Walk Thru Bathtub

A walk through tub

While tub to shower conversions are our primary service, we can also convert existing bathtubs into a walk thru tub (as shown to the left). Walk thru bathtubs preserve the tub’s bathing function by incorporating a door that when closed, the tub can be filled with water to allow for bathing. Unlike higher end premier walk-thru bathtubs, our walk-in tub is most practical in multi-generational living situations; i.e. where there is a mix of family members: young & agile members who prefer a bath (and still can bathe) and senior(s) who can only shower but require safe shower access. For the bathers, the tub door can be closed & locked while the tub fills. Once filled, they can then step into the tub and bathe (unlike all higher end walk-in tubs where the bather is required to be inside the while the bathtub fills & empties.) To shower, the senior can simply swing the tub door open to safely enter the tub. Once inside, the senior can shut the tub door, pull the shower curtain & shower. And as for cost, our walk thru bathtubs provide Ohio homeowners cost savings in the range of 80%-90% not to mention the convenience of a one-day bathtub remodel.
