Have you ever wondered how a walk-in tub magically fits into your bathroom without a massive demolition project? Well, here’s the truth straight from the pros:
“We cut out the existing tile only enough to where the walk-in tub can just sit right in there. It’s like it was meant to be!”
Sounds simple, right? But let’s break it down because there’s a BIG difference between walk-in tubs and your standard showers or regular bathtubs.
✅ Why Walk-In Tubs Are Special
Unlike traditional tubs or showers, walk-in tubs are like freestanding superheroes. ♂️ They’re designed to hold all the water on their own without relying on surrounding walls for support. That means:
- Minimal tile removal
You only cut just enough tile for the tub to slide perfectly into place. - No full demo required ️
Forget ripping your whole bathroom apart. - Quick install timeline ⏱️
Many are ready to use in as little as a day!
But here’s the catch…
❌ This Trick Doesn’t Work for Everything
Showers? Nope.
They require a full waterproofed enclosure to function properly.
Standard tubs? Not a chance.
They rely on a built-in surround and are not designed to just “sit” in an opening.
Walk-in tubs are the only fixture where this clever tile cutout hack works.
Think of It Like This
Imagine a regular tub like a puzzle piece that needs the rest of the puzzle to stay in place.
A walk-in tub? It’s the whole puzzle. It doesn’t need extra pieces to do its job.
“Walk-in tubs are almost like freestanding tubs in a sense—they’re self-contained and secure. That’s why they’re perfect for this type of installation.”
Why People Love Walk-In Tubs
Besides the easy install, walk-in tubs offer:
✨ Safety features – built-in grab bars, non-slip floors, and easy step-in doors.
✨ Relaxation perks – hydrotherapy jets, heated seats, and spa-like vibes.
✨ Peace of mind – perfect for aging-in-place without losing bathroom style.
It’s like upgrading your bath experience AND simplifying your life—all in one!
