A Small Change That Transforms Your Bathroom

For many Pittsburgh homeowners, the bathroom is full of hidden hazards — especially the bathtub. Stepping over a high tub wall might not seem like much until it becomes the hardest part of your day.

That’s where a tub cut comes in. It’s a smart, subtle way to make your existing bathtub more accessible — without a full remodel.

At 3 Birds Accessibility, we install professional tub cut systems throughout Pittsburgh that lower your tub’s entry point, giving you safer, easier access and peace of mind.

What Exactly Is a Tub Cut?

A tub cut is a simple modification that turns your existing bathtub into a low-step entry shower. Our team removes a section of the tub wall and installs a smooth, watertight insert that allows you to step in and out comfortably.

It’s one of the fastest, most affordable ways to make bathing safer — especially if you’re not ready for a full renovation.

Who Benefits from a Tub Cut?

Tub cuts are ideal for:

• Older adults who want to maintain independence at home.
  
  
• People recovering from injuries or surgeries who need easier mobility.
  
  
• Families caring for loved ones who need safer bathing solutions.
  
  

Whether you live in a cozy Squirrel Hill bungalow or a spacious North Hills ranch, a tub cut can be customized to fit your existing bathtub and blend naturally with your bathroom design.

Tub Cuts vs. Full Bathroom Remodels

While a full remodel offers the most customization, tub cuts are perfect for homeowners looking for an immediate improvement in safety and usability. They’re discreet, functional, and can often be the first step toward a larger accessibility plan down the road.

If you’re already thinking ahead, we can design your tub cut installation to fit future upgrades — like converting your bathroom into a barrier-free shower.
