Where installation is available around Hamilton
Coverage spans both sides of the harbour and both levels of the city. Along Lake Ontario, the QEW runs east toward Grimsby, and the QEW and Highway 403 carry coverage through Burlington and on into Halton. Highway 403 also climbs the escarpment through Ancaster and continues west to Brantford. Highway 6 heads south into Haldimand County, and Highway 8 leads north-west toward Cambridge. Imperial Bathrooms confirms each exact address when it reviews the request.
Grimsby sits at the eastern end of this area along the QEW, so addresses there are confirmed one by one.
Mention it in your request if your tub has jets, since jetted tubs aren't recommended, or if a liner has been fitted over it: lined tubs are usually modified with a Double Cut through both layers. Acrylic, fibreglass, steel and cast-iron tubs can all be considered.
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.
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among Canadians aged 65 and older (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2022). What the research shows →

Questions about bathtub cutouts in Hamilton & Burlington
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.
How is a bathtub cutout different from a walk-in tub?
A walk-in tub is a different bathtub: the existing tub is removed and a new unit with a door is installed. A CleanCut cutout modifies the tub you already have by lowering one section of its wall. Which makes sense depends on your needs, your bathroom and your budget.
What affects the price of a bathtub cutout?
Factors an installer may consider include which CleanCut model and size your tub needs, the tub material (cast iron takes more work to cut), the condition of the tub and the area around it, and whether glass sliding doors need to come off first. A quote based on your actual tub is the only reliable figure.
Can a cast-iron bathtub be cut?
Yes. Cast iron is cut with a diamond-blade grinder and takes more effort than acrylic or steel, which is why professional installation is recommended for cast-iron tubs.
Do I have to replace my bathtub?
No. A CleanCut modification keeps the bathtub you already have. A section of the tub wall is cut out using a template, and a CleanCut insert is fitted and sealed into the opening to create a lower step-in entry, without tearing out the tub or starting a larger renovation.
Is Burlington included in the Hamilton service area?
Yes. Burlington is on the Hamilton & Burlington community list. Imperial Bathrooms confirms service for your exact address when it reviews the request.
Are Brantford and Cambridge covered from Hamilton?
Both are on this page's community list. As with any address, Imperial Bathrooms confirms coverage when it reviews your request.
Can CleanCut be installed on a bathtub with an existing liner?
Yes, many bathtubs with an existing liner can be modified using a procedure called a Double Cut. Because both the liner and original bathtub must be cut, we recommend using an independent installer experienced with this type of installation.
