Walk In Baths

For anyone who finds stepping over a standard bath edge too difficult or risky, a walk-in bath removes that problem entirely. You walk in through a low door, sit down, close the door and fill the bath. Our range includes standard walk-in baths, deep soaker models with a built-in seat, and shower bath combinations. Browse our bath lifts too, which work well alongside a walk-in bath for extra support.

About Our Walk-in Baths

Our walk-in baths are made in the UK and delivered ready for installation. Standard models suit people who can sit down and stand up in a bath without too much difficulty but find stepping over the side a balance or strength problem. Deep soaker models have a moulded seat built into the bath, so you walk in and sit down rather than lowering yourself to the floor of the bath. Shower bath combinations give you the option of a shower on days when you do not want to bathe.

One thing worth knowing before buying: you enter the bath before filling it, and you must drain it fully before opening the door to get out. Our baths come with two separate wastes to speed up drainage, which most people find perfectly manageable once they are used to the routine. If waiting for the bath to fill and drain feels like it might be an issue, a bath lift in a standard bath lets you fill first and lower yourself in afterwards. Many customers combine both, fitting a bath lift inside a walk-in bath for the best of both approach. This advice article on walk-in baths vs bath lifts covers the pros and cons of each in detail and is worth reading before deciding.

For other ways to make the bathroom safer alongside a walk-in bath, our grab rails and non-slip mats are worth considering too.

Walk-in Bath FAQs

  • What is a walk-in bath and how does it work?

    A walk-in bath has a watertight door at one end set low to the ground, so you step in rather than lifting your legs over a high bath edge. You enter, close the door, then fill the bath. When you have finished, you drain the bath fully before opening the door to get out. The door seal keeps water inside while bathing. Deep soaker models have a moulded seat so you sit down immediately on entering rather than lowering yourself to the bath floor.

  • What is the difference between a standard walk-in bath and a deep soaker?

    A standard walk-in bath is a similar shape to a conventional bath, just with a low door. It suits people who can lower themselves to the bath floor and get back up again without too much difficulty. A deep soaker, such as the Priya Deep Soaker, is shorter and has a seat built into the bath at one end, so you sit at a higher level rather than lying in the water. This suits anyone who finds getting down to floor level and back up the main challenge. The taps sit close to the seat end so you can reach them comfortably while seated, and on some models the waste can be opened with your foot. 

  • Do I have to sit in the bath while it fills with water?

    Because the door must be closed before filling, you need to enter the bath and sit down before you start filling it. Some people take a little time to get used to this, but most find it perfectly comfortable once the routine is familiar. Thermostatic taps are strongly advised to ensure the water temperature is safe before it reaches you, which is particularly important for anyone with diabetes or reduced sensation in the legs.

  • Can a bath lift be used inside a walk-in bath?

    A bath lift fitted inside a walk-in bath means you can fill the bath before lowering yourself in, which some people prefer. It also provides an additional safeguard in the unlikely event of a drainage problem. Simon Bidle, our training coordinator, covers how bath lifts and other accessories work together in his guide to setting up an accessible bathing experience, and our guide to walk-in baths vs bath lifts covers the broader comparison in detail.

  • Will a walk-in bath fit in a small bathroom?

    Deep soaker models are shorter than standard walk-in baths and are designed with compact bathrooms in mind. Shower bath combinations also make efficient use of space. Measure your bathroom carefully before ordering and check the product dimensions, including the door swing clearance, against your available space.

  • Do walk-in baths require special plumbing?

    Most can be fitted with standard household plumbing, though professional installation is recommended. Our baths come with two separate wastes, which speeds up drainage and also provides a backup if one waste is slow. A plumber familiar with accessible bathroom installations will be able to advise on any modifications needed for your specific bathroom layout.

  • How long does a walk-in bath last?

    With proper care and maintenance, a well-made walk-in bath should last many years. The main things to keep on top of are the door seal, which should be checked regularly and replaced if it shows signs of wear, and any pump or jet components if the model has them. The bath itself, being acrylic, is straightforward to clean and resistant to staining with regular maintenance.

  • Do you install walk-in baths?

    We don't, so you will need to arrange installation with a qualified plumber. It is worth having your plumber on site when the bath is delivered, as delivery is to your front door only. That way they can help move it into the bathroom and begin installation straight away rather than leaving it in the hallway while you wait for a separate appointment.
