Q: Will Medicare pay for bathroom modifications?

• <div><p>While Medicare will pay for some bathroom modifications, it won&rsquo;t pay for all modifications done to help make the room more accessible for older adults. Plus, the improvements must be approved in advance, or they won&rsquo;t cover the upgrade. Check well in advance of construction if you have coverage for grab bars, walk-in tubs, wider doorways, higher toilets, and more.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a drop-in tub myself?

• <div><p>Installing a drop-in tub yourself is possible, especially if you&rsquo;re replacing your existing tub with a new one of the same size. If you&rsquo;re replacing a different type of tub, you&rsquo;ll need to build the structure to hold the new drop-in tub and finish the exposed sides. The structure must be sturdy enough to hold the tub when it&rsquo;s filled with water, and you&rsquo;ll need to seal it. If any plumbing work is required, it&rsquo;s best to call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-should-i-hire-bathtub-replacement-handyman-plumber.htm">licensed plumber who installs bathtubs</a>. </p></div>

Q: Why are people getting rid of bathtubs?

• <div><p>In some cases, people are getting rid of bathtubs because of the floor space they gain after removal. Showers can make more efficient use of bathroom space. In some cases, people get rid of tubs for accessibility purposes. It can be difficult for some individuals to step into and out of a tub. For these people, a shower with no lip or step is safer and easier to use than a tub.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under a bathtub for support?

• <div><p>You can put a structure under your bathtub for support. Many modern tubs come with a built-in support structure underneath. Almost any type of mortar or floor-leveling compound is acceptable for new bathtubs that don&rsquo;t include a support structure.</p><p>You can also install spray foam under an existing bathtub to eliminate or reduce squeaking or sagging. However, spray foam isn&rsquo;t rigid enough for primary tub support.</p></div>

Q: What is the best and most durable material for a bathtub?

• <div><p>Different bathtub materials have various advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron and copper are considered the most durable materials because they are dense and resistant to damage from scratches or dents. However, cast-iron tubs are heavy, expensive, and may not be suitable for upper floors. Copper offers unique benefits but requires regular chemical treatment to prevent a patina from forming, making cast iron a less maintenance-intensive option. Porcelain is a good second choice for durability. For those on a budget, acrylic is a popular option, though it is less durable.</p></div>
