Walk-in Baths

A walk-in bath, also known as an accessible bath is an adapted bath with easy, low level access suitable for those with limited mobility or those who prefer easy bath entry. They have integrated doors for a safer access, allowing users to step in without the need to navigate a high side entry.

Once inside, the door securely seals, and the tub can be filled with water. Walk-in baths come equipped with safety features such as integrated handrails, non-slip flooring, and ergonomically designed seating to enhance comfort and accessibility.

This type of bath is an ideal solution for individuals seeking a safer and more convenient bathing experience, particularly for the elderly or those with limited mobility.

A walk-in bath, offers several benefits for individuals, especially those facing mobility challenges. Some advantages include:

• Ease of Entry: The accessible design, featuring a door on the side, allows for easy entry without the need to step over a high side, making it convenient for individuals who struggle to lift their legs.
• Enhanced Safety Features: Walk-in baths often come equipped with safety features such as integrated handrails, non-slip flooring, and secure sealing doors, providing a safer bathing experience.
•  Comfortable Seating: Many walk-in baths are designed with comfortable and ergonomic seating, offering users a relaxed and enjoyable bathing experience.
• Independence and Dignity: The independence provided by a walk-in bath contributes to a sense of dignity, especially for the elderly or individuals with limited mobility who value privacy during their bathing routine.
• Therapeutic Benefits: Some walk-in baths come with therapeutic features, such as hydrotherapy jets, which can offer soothing and beneficial effects for individuals with arthritis or other health conditions.

Investing in a walk-in bath can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals by providing a safe and accessible bathing solution tailored to their specific needs.

Yes. As with a standard bathtub all of our walk-in baths enable the user to have an integrated shower as well. Both are designed to be as easily accessible as possible. With some of our walk-in bath models, they are shaped in a way so other users can use the shower.

All our walk-in baths are designed with numerous safety features to ensure the users' complete safe use. They all have low-level access and inward-opening doors for safe and easy bath entry. Grab rails can be fitted to the walls surrounding the bath for stable entry and exit. 

The taps are also fitted with thermostatically controlled taps to ensure your bath fills at the perfect temperature to avoid scalding. 

The walk-in baths also have anti-slip flooring to ensure complete safe use.

Yes. With a walk-in bath, you need to ensure you are in the bath and the door is locked and sealed tight before you start running your bath. However, the bath taps have thermostatic taps that can be set to the appropriate temperature so the water is the perfect temperature whilst filling. The baths often have an integrated seat or lift for you to sit on whilst the bath fills with water.

Yes. You must ensure the bath is drained before you can open the door of the walk-in bath. However, all our walk-in baths have vortex quick drain so the bath empties faster than a normal bathtub. 

Yes, we have several baths in our range that have an integrated bath lift to suit those who struggle to lower themselves in and out of the bath. This makes for an easier more relaxing bathing experience and can bring back the users' independence. 

No, a well-designed walk-in bath should not leak at all. The integrated doors all have a safety lock which seals tightly ensuring the bath is watertight, minimising the risk of a leak. The user steps in the bath before filling and closes the door, using the safety lock to seal the door.

Regular inspections and following manufacturer guidelines for maintenance will help ensure the integrity of the seals, making a secure and leak-free bathing experience.
