Tub Cuts

Tub cuts in Jacksonville Beach

Step into your tub instead of climbing over it. We cut a low, step-through opening into the side of your existing bathtub, so getting in and out of the shower is safer and easier — without replacing the tub or remodeling the bathroom.

What you get

Done carefully, by the owner himself

Senior Capabilities focuses only on three services, so each one is practiced, not improvised. When you call, you reach Kevin. When someone comes to your home, it’s Kevin.

Keeps your existing tub

No full replacement. We cut a low, step-through opening into the side of the tub you already have.

A low threshold

Step in instead of climbing over a high tub wall — one of the riskiest moves in the bathroom.

Pairs with grab bars

A cut plus well-placed grab bars makes entry and exit safer still. Kevin recommends the combination that fits your bathroom.

Baths still possible

On many tubs, a removable door insert can be fitted into the cut-out so the tub can still hold water.

How it works

From first call to finished install

Every job begins with an in-home consultation — no showroom, no pressure, just a look at your home and a clear recommendation.

Questions

Common questions

Can a tub cut still let me take a bath?

Often, yes. On many tubs, a removable door or insert can be fitted into the cut-out so the tub can still hold water for a bath. Kevin will check your specific tub at the consultation and show you the options.

How long does a tub cut take?

Most tub cuts are completed in a single visit, typically within a few hours. Kevin confirms the timing for your tub at the consultation, completes the work, and walks you through using it before he leaves.

Do I need a whole new tub?

No. A tub cut keeps your existing bathtub and cuts a low, step-through opening into its side. That is the point: a safer entry without a full replacement, without weeks of construction, and without the cost of a remodel.

Can I add a shower seat as well?

Yes, that can be discussed at the consultation. A seat pairs naturally with a tub cut and grab bars for a safer entry and a place to sit while showering. Kevin will recommend what fits your tub and your needs.

What does a tub cut cost?

Kevin measures your tub, talks through the options, and confirms your exact price in plain language at the in-home consultation, before any work starts.

Not sure if this is the right fix?

That’s exactly what the in-home consultation is for. Kevin comes to your home, measures your actual tub, walls, or doorway, and recommends only what you actually need — in plain language, with no obligation to book. He confirms your exact price at the consultation before any work starts.
