Where installation is available around Halifax and Dartmouth
The area wraps around Halifax Harbour and Bedford Basin. It takes in the communities on both sides of the harbour, with Bedford at the head of the basin. Heading north, Highways 118 and 102 lead out to Fall River and Enfield, which mark the inland end of the area. To the east, Highway 7 follows the Eastern Shore out to Musquodoboit Harbour. Communities outside this list are reviewed address by address.
Distances for this list are measured around Bedford Basin on toll-free roads rather than over the tolled harbour bridges, so every community here is reachable without a toll.
If your tub has glass sliding doors, or you aren't sure what it's made of, mention it in the request. Those details help the installer understand the job before quoting, and nothing needs to be bought ahead of time.
Why modify the tub you already have
No tear-out
The bathtub stays in place. One section of the wall is cut away and a CleanCut insert is fitted and sealed into the opening.
A lower step
Stepping in no longer means lifting your leg over the full height of the tub wall.
Keep the bath if you want it
The CleanCut Convertible has a removable watertight insert, so the tub can still be filled for a bath.

Questions about bathtub cutouts in Halifax & Dartmouth
How does getting an installation quote work?
Send the short request form or call 1-855-707-9777. You'll receive a response within 2 business hours, and Imperial Bathrooms connects you with an independent installer experienced with CleanCut products who serves your area. The installer can confirm which CleanCut product fits your tub and give you a quote for the product and the installation.
What if my tub has glass sliding doors?
Sliding doors need to be removed before the tub wall is cut. They are normally replaced with a shower rod and curtain.
Which bathtub materials can be modified?
CleanCut products are designed for common acrylic, fibreglass, steel, porcelain-on-steel and cast-iron bathtubs. Cutting cast iron is more demanding, so professional installation is recommended for cast-iron tubs.
Is a bathtub cutout a good option for older adults?
For many people the hardest part of using a bathtub is lifting a leg over the high tub wall. A CleanCut cutout lowers that wall section so stepping in and out takes less effort, while keeping the existing tub. It isn't a medical device, so anyone with specific mobility needs should also follow their health professional's advice. A clamp-on tub bar can add a handhold.
How is a service area decided?
Service areas are based on where independent installers experienced with CleanCut products work, using real driving routes rather than straight-line distance. Every request is still confirmed for your exact address before an installer is arranged, so the community list is a guide, not a guarantee.
Are Fall River and Enfield included?
Yes. Both are listed for the Halifax & Dartmouth area, along with Bedford, Lower Sackville and Cole Harbour. Each address is confirmed when Imperial Bathrooms reviews the request.
