Q. Can I still take a bath after our bathtub has the new step in appliance?

A. Not with the step alone, If the option to still bathe is of an interest to you, in addition to the bathtub step we offer for an addditional charge our Insta-Bath slip on step cover.

A. In a word Yes, one way or another (read on),  Our competitors cost to reverse their cut out is about $1500.00 dollars in addition to what the client originally paid to have the step installed in the first place, it also requires about 4 days to perform the reversal, alot of chemicals, paint, and volatile vapors that you really do not want in your home, the other alternative is to replace the bathtub altogether costing the client on average a few thousand dollars. The Safe Step Bathtub Entry System from Freedom Bath Products never needs to be reversed, if you feel you no longer need the step in feature contact a Freedom Bath Products representative and order the very affordable Insta-Bath watertight cover and instantly transform your bathtub back to full function.  The benefits of the Insta-Bath cover is it also allows you the step in feature for future use for yourself or a loved one.
