Many homeowners decide to convert their bathtubs into showers. It’s often a necessity for aging in place, but it’s also an easy way to transform the look of the bathroom and minimize maintenance. A key way to accomplish this is to use The TubcuT®. It involves cutting a portion of the tub’s front wall out and removing it, then finishing the surface of the opening to create a customized opening that can serve as a walk-in shower. Here are three reasons why you may want to consider it for your bathroom remodeling project.

Why Add The TubcuT to Your Bathroom?

1. Improve Your Safety

It’s not easy to step into a traditional bathtub. Seniors and those with certain disabilities, may have difficulty raising their legs safely, especially if mobility issues are a concern. It may also be challenging for individuals with health conditions or injuries. Attempting to get into a traditional tub can prove to be a serious safety hazard. 

By transitioning to The TubcuT, homeowners can enjoy significant peace of mind knowing that their loved ones can easily step inside their walk-in style tub/shower with a greatly reduced risk of falling. Grab bars can also be added to aid in transfer, and seating can be placed inside for greater comfort.

2. Save on Remodeling Costs

If you’re venturing into a bathroom remodeling project but don’t want to commit to large-scale changes, adding The TubcuT is an effective way to make a difference without dipping too deeply into your bank account. Installing an entirely new shower would involve removing the existing bathtub and having a new structure put in its place. This can be a rather costly process.

However, by contrast, for The TubcuT, your home remodeling specialist will  modify your existing tub to create The TubcuT in your bathroom. This saves time and money, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your new walk-in style tub/shower sooner.

3. Reduce Maintenance Needs

It can be time-consuming and laborious to clean a bathtub’s interior and exterior. Moreover, water tends to splash outside and seep around the corners, leading to potential mold formation. 

There’s less material to clean on The TubcuT, and you can even have a small, swinging, tub height door installed in the opening to minimize the likelihood of water splashing outside. This will reduce your cleaning and maintenance responsibilities considerably.
