The Bathtub Transformation Process
Many people are interested in improving their quality of life or that of their families but believe that turning a tub into a walk-through shower is a difficult, complex, and expensive task. It’s a simple, straightforward, and 100% DIY process. Here, we’ll explain how to do it step by step.
Choose the Kit That Best Suits Your Needs
The first step to completely modify your bathtub is to identify your needs and those of your family, so you can choose the kit that best suits your goals. The Step Through Store offers kits in different sizes. These kits are intended to lower the tub wall and improve accessibility. Depending on your family’s needs, you can select the right kit for you! Additional accessories, such as grab bars or seating, are not included and should be acquired separately if needed. You can find these additional products in our online store.
Measuring Your Tub
An essential step in converting your bathtub into a walk-in shower is to take accurate measurements. To do this, you’ll need a standard measuring tape and the instructions provided on our website. The measurements will depend on both the size of the kit you’ve chosen and the dimensions of your tub. This step is crucial for determining where to make the cuts and preparing the materials for the final installation.
Bathtub Cuts
Once you’ve taken the measurements according to our guidelines, refer to our website or instructional video to understand how to make the cuts on your tub. Before beginning any installation, please read all safety instructions and guidelines provided with your kit. Use proper protective equipment and follow the video instructions carefully. Cut the material strictly following the measurements noted in the previous step. Once the cuts are done, you’re very close to completing the transformation of your bathtub into a walk-through shower.
Final Installation
Finally, once the cuts are entirely made, all you need to do is place the insert from your kit over the cut out portion of your tub. On our website, you’ll find detailed, precise instructions on how to cut the tub quickly, safely and efficiently. Once you’ve finished the installation, you’ll have an easy-access shower that’s much safer for your family, your children or your elderly relatives.
DIY Easy and Affordable Solutions
The Step Through Store provides DIY conversion kits designed to lower a section of your bathtub wall. This modification can make entering and exiting the tub safer and more convenient. These kits are easy to install at home, following clear instructions, without requiring plumbing changes or a complete bathroom renovation.

Customer testimonials and personal experiences are key to understanding the quality of a product. Check out what some of our customers are saying about our products!
“I have installed the tub conversion kit and non-skid floor finish I recently ordered on my In-Laws’ tub. We are all quite pleased with the results. I am impressed with the exceptional thickness of the plastic used in the rotocast conversion molding. I did not expect to receive the installation gauge that you included with the kit. That gauge template and your excellent instructions made the installation in a steel tub very easy.
“Thanks! I ordered a tub insert around 10 am our time, on Wednesday, and it was delivered around 2 pm our time today, Friday. Around 52 hours from North Carolina to Illinois, you can not ask for anything better than that. If anyone is interested in your company, I will recommend you.”
