Climbing over a high tub wall is the single biggest fall risk in most bathrooms, and a full accessible remodel costs thousands and takes weeks. A conversion solves the same problem in less than a day. Using the MBTR Custom Tub Alteration process, we cut a custom opening of any size into your existing tub and finish it cleanly, or install a Safeway Step® insert with an optional door. The tub stays. The barrier goes.
Often paired with slip protection, bathtub refinishing, and soft bottom repair, since combining work in one visit keeps the total cost down.
Available in North Bay, Greater Sudbury, Huntsville, and the rest of our Northern Ontario service area.

How it works
- 01Measure and plan
We look at your tub, who is using it, and how much clearance they need, then size the opening or step insert to match.
- 02Cut the opening
The MBTR Custom Tub Alteration process cuts a custom opening into the existing tub without removing it. There is no demolition and no plumbing work.
- 03Finish and seal
The cut is capped, sealed, and finished to match the tub, or fitted with a Safeway Step insert and optional watertight door.
- 04Use it that evening
Conversions are generally done in less than a day, at a fraction of the cost of a full bathroom remodelling job.
