The Tub Entry Problem in Galloway Homes
Galloway sits on the western side of Columbus, a residential community built largely through the 1970s and 1980s. These are established neighborhoods where families have put down roots, and where the original bathrooms have never been modified for aging in place. Standard tub walls, no grab bars, no low-entry access.
For Galloway seniors who want to stay in the home they have lived in for decades, the tub entry problem is one of the most immediate and practical things that can be addressed. A CleanCut step-in tub conversion lowers the entry wall from 14 to 18 inches down to 3 to 5 inches without replacing the tub or disrupting the bathroom. The work is done in a single day.
NextStep Bath Solutions installs CleanCut step-in tub conversions for Galloway seniors and mobility-limited adults. Paul Knox handles every estimate personally. Call (614) 365-1522 to schedule a free in-home assessment.

What a CleanCut Step-In Conversion Does
A CleanCut insert is a precision-manufactured low-entry opening cut into the existing tub wall and fitted with a watertight door. The entry height drops to 3 to 5 inches from the floor. The tub stays in place. The plumbing is not touched. The tile stays on the walls. The person steps in through the low opening, closes the door, fills the tub, and bathes the same way they always have.
For Galloway seniors who still want the bathing option, this is frequently the most straightforward and cost-effective solution. It pairs naturally with grab bar installation at the entry point, which adds the fixed anchor that makes the step-in sequence safe.
For Galloway homeowners ready to move to a walk-in shower only, Paul also installs tub-to-shower conversions. He will assess both options at no charge during the free visit.
What Installation Day Looks Like
Paul measures the tub during the free assessment and orders the insert to fit that specific unit. On the installation day he cuts the opening to precise measurements, fits the insert, and seals it completely. No tile work, no demolition, no plumbing. The bathroom is left clean and the tub is usable the same afternoon.
Most Galloway installations are completed in a single day. Paul walks the homeowner through the entry and verifies the seal before he leaves the job.
Who This Is Right For in Galloway
A CleanCut step-in conversion is the right solution for a Galloway senior who still wants to bathe but finds the tub entry difficult or risky. It is the right call for adults managing arthritis, limited balance, reduced lower body strength, post-surgical recovery, or any condition that has made the standard tub wall a daily obstacle.
For adult children in the Columbus area helping a Galloway parent stay at home safely, this is one of the fastest, least disruptive improvements available.

What is the difference between a CleanCut step-in conversion and replacing the tub entirely?
A CleanCut conversion modifies the existing tub by cutting a low-entry opening into the wall. The tub stays. A full tub-to-shower conversion removes the tub entirely and replaces it with a walk-in shower. The CleanCut option is faster, less disruptive, and less expensive. It is the right choice when the person still wants to bathe. Paul can walk through both options during the assessment.
