What colours do your Walk In Bathtubs come in?
We provide white and beige coloured cutouts. Beige cutouts are custom ordered and have an extra fee.
I still want to be able to have a full bath. What should I do?
For full bath functionality while still having a step-through tub, we recommend the Convertible. This is our most popular and versatile product. It comes with a removable center plug that weighs about 2lbs and locks on and off in moments, allowing you to transition from step-in shower to a full bath. This allows you to keep the future value of the tub and is great for multi-generational homes and changing needs.
How do I know what size to order?
To determine the correct product size for your tub, please contact our offices. You will have to take the proper measurements that we require for the desired product. Please note that the Step comes in 2 different sizes. The Convertible and the Ultra-Low comes in 1 size, which is a Large size.

If you have sizing questions, please feel free to contact us or send a photo with measurements to contactus@bathaccess.ca and a team member would be happy to assist you further.

What would my new Walk In Bathtub height be with a CleanCut insert installed?
Your new step-in height is dependent on the original height of your tub. The Step will remove approx. 8 inches from the top of your tub. The Convertible will remove approx. 8 inches from the top of your tub. The Ultra-Low will remove approx. 13.25 inches from the top of your tub. To find your approximate step-up height with a CleanCut product, first measure the height of your tub on the outside as it is now. Then subtract the approximate removed material above for the product you’re interested in. This will give you the approximate new step-through height.

Please note that the Ultra-Low is designed to fit high-profile tubs, and in order for it to work on your tub, the tub must be at least 14.75 inches tall on both the inside and outside of the tub. If your tub does not fit this requirement, we recommend the Step or Convertible product.
Do I have to purchase the kit then call an installer?
You would only have to purchase the CleanCut product kit from a distributor if you plan on putting it in yourself or hiring your own contractor. If you’re looking at having a CleanCut product professional installed by one of our installers who installs them on a regular basis, you would not have to purchase the kit in advance.

Simply contact us and the price we provide would include the kit and installation "The All-in Price".

Ontario Seniors Home Safety Tax

The Seniors’ Home Safety Tax Credit is worth 25% of up to $10,000 in eligible expenses for a senior’s principal residence in Ontario. The maximum credit is $2,500.

Home Accessibility Tax Credit (HATC)

The Home Accessibility Tax Credit (HATC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps support renovations that make homes safer and/ or more accessible for the disabled or seniors that may qualify for the Home Accessibility Tax Credit (HATC). If you have a disability and hold a valid disability tax certificate or are a senior or are supporting a qualifying individual, up to $10,000 in expenses can be claimed.

How much does it cost to get it installed?
Our prices range from $889 for the Step to $1195 for the Convertible. Cast iron tubs require more work and priced accordingly. Speak with our representative for details.
Do your products work with a cast iron tub?
Yes – CleanCut products have been installed on hundreds of cast iron tubs.
What is the product made of?
All CleanCut inserts are made of composite polyethylene plastic – an extremely durable, hard plastic.

My tub has sliding shower doors. Can I still get a Walk In Bathtub installed?
Yes – the sliding doors and track will just have to be removed prior to installation (and cannot be put back on). We recommend purchasing a new shower curtain and rod in place of the doors.
My bathtub has a liner. Can I still get a CleanCut product installed?
We do not recommend installing a CleanCut product on a tub with a liner. Why? You might not know what is under the liner. If it is a cast iron tub, the heat from the cut can melt the liner. Also, the liner could become loose from the back and forth movement while cutting the tub.

Tip: never get your cane or crutch tips wet again, as they slip and will be dangerous! Ask us about our safe and accessible grab bars!

No more fear getting in and out of your tub!

My bathtub has jets. Can I still get a Walk In Bathtub installed?
We do not recommend it. Why? Water lines for the jets could be cut during installation resulting in possible leaks under your tub.
Can I add a center plug to a Step?
Unfortunately, you cannot add a center plug to an existing Step cutout, because the part of the tub you cut out for the Step is too large for the center plug insert to fit. The best option would be to purchase a Convertible.
Do your products work with a clawfoot tub?
Unfortunately, CleanCut products are unable to be installed in clawfoot style bathtubs due to their unique design. Clawfoot tubs have just a single bathtub sidewall (what you step over to get into the tub) and are often elevated on “feet”. CleanCut products are designed to be installed in more traditional-style bathtubs that have a tub rail or wall that is comprised of an inside and outside wall that extends completely to the floor.

My bathtub isn't flat like in your pictures. Can it still be done?
Yes. All the CleanCut products are custom fit to match your existing tubs inside and outside profile.
What other safety products do you provide?
To provide further safety measures, we supply the following:
Tub bar. This bar clamps to the tub rail for ease of entry and exit. It is removable and can be placed anywhere along the rail for an easy reach.
Shower grasp bars. They are drilled into the shower walls for stability and make it easier to stand up if a stool is used within the tub. The stainless steel bars come in two sizes – 24" and 32".
