Along the coast from Nanaimo to Qualicum Beach
This service area follows the east coast of Vancouver Island between Nanaimo and Qualicum Beach. Highway 19 is the main route north, and Highway 19A links in along parts of the shoreline. Lantzville sits between Nanaimo and Parksville, and Qualicum Beach lies just beyond Parksville. Addresses toward either end of the corridor are checked individually. All of it is on the island and reached by road.
Coverage here is on Vancouver Island only, and every route is by road. No ferry trips are involved.
If you'd still like the occasional bath, say so in your request. The installer can tell you whether the CleanCut Convertible, with its removable watertight insert, suits your tub, or whether a permanent step-in opening makes more sense.
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 Nanaimo & Parksville
Who actually does the installation?
Installations are done by independent installers experienced with CleanCut products. They run their own businesses; they are not Imperial Bathrooms employees or branches. Imperial Bathrooms supplies CleanCut products across Canada and matches each request with a suitable installer serving that area.
Can I still take a bath after the modification?
With the CleanCut Convertible, yes. It has a removable watertight insert: take it out for an easier step-in shower, and put it back in when you want to fill the tub for a bath. The Step, Deep Step and Ultra-Low create a permanent step-in opening.
How much lower will the entry be?
Approximately how much is removed from the tub wall: about 8 inches with the Step and the Convertible, about 10.5 inches with the Deep Step, and about 13.25 inches with the Ultra-Low. Your final step-over height depends on how tall your tub is to begin with.
Are there bathtubs CleanCut can't be installed on?
Clawfoot tubs can't be modified because they don't have a conventional wall running down to the floor. Jetted tubs aren't recommended, because water lines may run inside the tub wall. A tub with an existing liner can often be modified with a Double Cut, cutting through the liner and then the original tub. Garden-style tubs vary widely, so they need a review of photos and measurements before anything is ordered.
Do I need to buy a CleanCut kit before contacting an installer?
No. When an independent installer handles the job, their quote can include both the CleanCut product and the installation. Buy a DIY kit only if you, or a contractor you hire yourself, will do the work.
Does the Nanaimo area reach Qualicum Beach?
Qualicum Beach is on the Nanaimo & Parksville list, just beyond Parksville on Highway 19. Addresses toward either end of the corridor are checked individually when Imperial Bathrooms reviews the request.
