Explore the insert optionsYou want to feel safer getting in and out of the tub, without spending your savings on a bathroom remodel. We lower the side of your existing tub so there’s less to step over. When your tub is a good fit, it can be a more affordable way to make that everyday routine easier.
Serving our neighbors across Greater Cleveland.
Why a step-through
Getting in and out shouldn’t mean remodeling the room.
If the high side of the tub is what’s giving you trouble, start there. A step-through keeps a suitable tub in place and creates a lower opening. Less of your bathroom needs to change, which can mean a smaller bill than replacing the tub or remodeling the room.
- Less to step over. A lower opening for getting in and out of your existing tub.
- Keep the bathroom you have. Put your budget toward the change you need, with shower-only and bath-friendly options.
- See the price before deciding. We’ll explain the options and give you the full scope in writing.

Hi, I’m Nick.
I used to sell bathroom remodels. The markups bothered me, especially when someone just needed an easier way to get in and out of the tub. That’s why I started Steady Step Bath.
My wife and I have a family, too. A big expense comes out of the same budget as everything else. I don’t forget that when we’re talking about your bathroom.

What is a bathtub step-through conversion?
A finished insert creates a lower opening in the side wall of a suitable existing bathtub. You may also see this called a tub cut-out or a bathtub access modification. The tub stays in place.
Can I still take a bath?
A permanently open insert is for showering. The Full Access package includes a convertible insert (still take baths). The convertible insert uses a removable center plug for bathing; we review the selected product and fit with you.
When can I use the tub after installation?
For the inserts we use, allow 2 days after installation before using the tub or putting weight on the insert. We’ll go over the timing with you and leave it in writing. The manufacturer’s care sheets set this drying period; follow the return-to-use instructions for the materials installed in your tub.
