Walk-in Bathtub FAQs
What are walk-in baths and are they safe?
+
Walk-in baths are specially designed bathtubs with a low-entry door, slip-resistant floor, and sometimes with a built-in seat, to provide a safer bathing experience. They help reduce the risk of slips and falls, making them ideal for elderly and disabled users. Additional safety features often include handrails and non-slip mats.
Are walk-in baths suitable for elderly users?
+
Yes. Walk-in baths can be particularly beneficial for elderly users or anyone with limited mobility. Features such as low doors, built-in seating, and easy-to-reach controls support seniors in bathing independently and safely.
Can walk-in baths fit in small bathrooms?
+
Deep soaker walk-in bath models are designed with compact dimensions and suit smaller bathrooms. Shower bath combinations are especially helpful for maximising space without compromising safety or comfort.
Do you have to sit while the walk-in bath fills?
+
Yes, you need to sit in the bath with the door closed before you can start filling it. Deep soaker walk-in baths are designed with an integrated seat so the user can sit comfortably while the bath fills, ensuring safety and ease of use. Some models have a slight recline for extra comfort. It's a good idea to use a bath lift to aid sitting and standing.
Can you lie down in a walk-in bath?
+
Deep soaker and larger walk-in bath models may sometimes have a reclined seating position that allows users to relax and partially stretch out while bathing but fully lying down is generally not possible due to the compact design for safety and space efficiency.
How long does it take to empty a walk-in bath?
+
Drainage times vary by model, but most walk-in baths are designed to empty efficiently in a few minutes if two drains are installed.
Do walk-in baths require special plumbing?
+
Most walk-in baths can be installed with standard household plumbing. Some models may require minor modifications to allow for a second drainage hole to be added, so professional installation is recommended.
What is the average lifespan of a walk-in bath?
+
A well-maintained walk-in bath typically can last many years. The lifespan can be influenced by materials, frequency of use, water quality, and maintenance of seals, pumps, and fixtures.
