Is your mobility impairment making getting in and out of the bathtub more difficult? Do you still want a lay-down tub bath rather than a seated walk in bath or a shower you have to stand up in? Worry no more! Our AmeriGlide Bathtub Walk-In Conversion Kit modifies your existing bath tub to create a walk in tub. Our installers remove a 27-inch section of the front tub wall and replace it with an easy-to-see pebble granite-colored lip, making it easy for vision-impaired users to safely step in and out. The lip reduces the size of the opening to a 24-inch wide gap. On the inside of the tub entry, several magnets are set into the lip to hold a stainless steel door that is made with an automotive-grade rubber seal. The door weighs less than a quart of milk, and all you have to do is hang it from the included pegs located on the tub's interior and let it fall - the magnets attach to the steel and hold the rubber seal in place to prevent leaks. Our Bathtub Walk-In Conversion Kit gives you safety and privacy during bathing, all for a fraction of the cost of a full walk in bath tub. Worried about sitting and standing safely? Add an AmeriGlide Bath Lift to your order for maximum security!
The AmeriGlide Bathtub Walk-In Conversion Kit takes about 2 hours to install, and is usable after 24 hours have passed. Please note that the retail price of this kit includes the cost of installation - currently, we do not offer DIY versions of the AmeriGlide Bathtub Walk-In Conversion Kit, so our installers will need to come to your home to perform the necessary alterations. This conversion kit is compatible with any kind of tub shell - even steel, cast iron, and fiberglass! We can also perform conversions on garden tubs and jacuzzi tubs! NOTE: Installing this kit on a cast-iron tub will incur a $75.00 upcharge.
