A tub cut is a professional modification where a section of your bathtub wall is cut and fitted with a step-in insert. This lowers the tub wall, making it easier and safer to step in and out without replacing the whole tub.

Most Safe Tub Step installations are completed in 2–4 hours. There’s no demolition, no plumbing changes, and the tub can be used the next day.

Prices typically range between $900 and $1,300, depending on the size and style:

• Regular Step

• Deep Step

• Ultra Deep Step

• Convertible Step (includes a removable insert for full-bath use)

Almost any standard bathtub can be converted — including fiberglass, acrylic, steel, and cast-iron tubs. Our technicians will inspect your tub first to confirm compatibility.
