A washing appliance and associated method are provided. The appliance includes a tub having a bottom wall member with forward and rearward edges. A door member has a lower edge pivotably engaged with the forward edge. A base member supports the tub and extends from about the rearward edge of the bottom wall member toward the forward edge. The base member has a forward end disposed opposite the forward edge from the lower edge of the door member, to form a toe kick recess between the lower edge and the forward end. A cover member engages the forward end of the base member, and has a flange portion extending to the forward edge of the bottom wall member, for covering the forward end of the base member and the bottom wall member about the toe kick recess, while allowing the door member to pivot to provide access to the tub.
