What is a walk-in bath and is it right for me?
A walk-in bath is a bath with a watertight door that allows the user to enter and exit the bath without having to step over the side.
Many walk-in baths also have features such as grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and built-in seats to make bathing easier and safer for people with mobility issues.
Walk-in baths are a great solution if you can’t lift you leg over the edge of the bath and you love to have a soak. Here are a few things to consider.
What size is your bathroom?
Our large walk-in bath range means we can source the most suitable walk-in bath for you and your bathroom. A P-shaped Louisiana or a full-length Montana could be perfect if you have plenty of room. If you are tight on space, a mid-sized Tennesse with an outward opening door or a compact Florida bath might be ideal. Look at our brochures for more information.
How do you use your bath?
If you like to soak for long periods, you could choose from our many additional walk-in bath options, including an air spa, chromotherapy and a built-in wireless sound system.
However, a simple design with fewer options might be better if you are a quick ‘in-and-out’ bather.
How mobile are you?
If you feel you have limited strength or mobility, there is an ideal Adaptmyhome walk-in bath for you. The Easy Riser walk-in bath, with its integrated powered lifting and lowering and reclining bath seat, is the ultimate choice.
Do you like to shower?
With optional shower screens, our walk-in baths can provide both shower and bathing options. Each walk-in bath shower screen is made with toughened safety glass and easily swings away for easy access and cleaning. If you really like the shower, maybe a stand-alone shower could be better?
Who’s going to use the walk-in bath?
When choosing the right accessible walk-in bath, it is important to consider who else might like to use it. You might have family members or a partner with other types of mobility needs. If so, consider a full-length bath such as the Arizona, which could give greater all-around suitability.
Want to feel safer?
Rest assured, there are multiple safety features built into every Adaptmyhome walk-in bath. With slip-resistant surfaces and emergency access door hinges, through to easy access plugs and even antimicrobial protection – we provide products and bathing solutions with safety in mind.
Your preferred style?
As there is so much choice in our walk-in bath range, you will always be able to select the perfect walk-in bath for you. Match your walk-in bath styling with your taste in decor and if you want to be a little different and make a real statement, maybe try a colour that isn’t white – we have an infinite range!
