Step Safely Into Your Shower in Belleville, ON.
The high edge of a traditional bathtub is one of the most common obstacles that compromises a senior's ability to live independently at home. Installing a tub cutout is a transformative modification that removes a section of the tub side, creating a low, safe step-through opening. This one-day service by Westlake Home Safety Services is a highly effective, economical alternative to the lengthy and costly process of a full bathroom remodel or the installation of a full walk-in shower.
Our specialized process utilizes a clean, precise cut to remove a section of the tub, followed by the seamless installation of a rigid, custom-fit insert. The result is a professional, durable opening that immediately reduces the risk of tripping and falling. Our commitment to this service comes directly from our three decades of experience in the senior living community, where we saw the need for practical, immediate accessibility solutions. We guarantee the structural integrity of the tub and the watertight seal of the cutout.

Why Choose a Tub Cutout for Accessibility?
A tub cutout is a crucial part of a comprehensive home safety plan. When combined with our professional grab bar installation services, the barrier to independent bathing is completely eliminated. For many, simply lifting a leg over a high tub wall becomes a major chore, leading to a dangerous loss of balance. Our service removes that hazardous obstacle, restoring confidence and ease.
The simplicity and speed of this modification are major benefits. It minimizes disruption to your home and lifestyle. Our certified technicians complete the installation quickly, and the new, safe step-through entry is typically ready for use within 24 hours. We handle all types of tub materials, including fiberglass, steel, and cast iron. Our expertise ensures a smooth, nonslip transition point. This dedication to quick, quality, and guaranteed service is what our family-owned business provides to the Belleville community. We prioritize your independence and safety above all else.
The Tub Cutout Installation Process
Our installation is a meticulous process designed for maximum quality and minimal inconvenience. We start by carefully measuring and marking the area of the tub wall to be removed.
Precision Cutting: We use specialized, dust-minimizing equipment to make a clean, accurate cut in the tub wall.
Reinforcement: The edges are professionally finished and reinforced to ensure the tub's structure is maintained.
Insert Installation: A custom-sized step-through insert is permanently bonded into the new opening. This insert provides a clean, safe edge and a low step height.
Sealing and Cleanup: We apply a durable, watertight sealant and thoroughly clean the work area. The sealant requires a short curing time before the new access point is ready for use.
This comprehensive process ensures that your tub cutout is a permanent, reliable safety feature. It is a cost-effective choice for those prioritizing independence and fall prevention without undertaking a massive renovation. Our long-term service guarantee on the installation is part of our commitment to your safety. We provide you with the resources to remain independent in your own home for years to come.
Common Questions About Tub Cutouts
Will a tub cutout affect the resale value of my Belleville home?
Typically, safety and accessibility features like a tub cutout and grab bars are viewed as an enhancement, especially in neighborhoods with an aging population. It shows the home has been responsibly maintained for long-term living.
Can I still take a bath after the cutout is installed?
No, a permanent tub cutout modification means you will no longer be able to fill the tub with water for a bath. The primary function of the modification is to create a shower-only, step-through access point for maximum safety and fall prevention.
How long does the sealant take to dry after installation?
The specialized sealant we use for the tub cutout typically requires 12 to 24 hours to cure fully. We will advise you on the exact timeframe upon completion to ensure the area is not used until the seal is completely watertight and secure.
