If the person has difficulty lifting his/her legs over the tub wall, consider having part of the tub wall removed, called a "tub cut-out". This reduces the lift required to pick up or swing one's legs into the tub. A tub cut-out can be performed on a variety of tub types. For more information, see our Product Section.

If you live in a rental dwelling, the Federal Fair Housing Law gives you the right to make changes to your living environment. But you'll want to ask whether the tub can be restored to its original condition. Some installers state they can re-install the old tub section at a later date, with no change in appearance or function.
