Walk-In Tubs
Sometimes, you just wanna soak.
After a long day, there are few things better than submersing yourself in a warm steamy bubble bath. But if you’re someone who struggles with mobility, such a simple luxury can be fraught with danger. The risk of tripping over the edge, or slipping as you clamber into the bathtub is no small thing. Falls around a bathtub account for over 80% of the 235,000 bathroom-related emergency room visits Americans make each year.
Walk-in tubs are the type of upgrade that just makes the world around you feel safer and more accessible. They combine practicality with luxury, and make a long relaxing soak simpler, safer, and much more enjoyable. For those with mobility issues, the worry of how they’ll get out of the tub can often overshadow the experience of bathing, making it difficult to relax fully. But walk-in tubs are automatically more enjoyable, as they give you what your current bathtub can’t - peace of mind.
With watertight doors and low or no-step entries, the days of lifting one’s leg over a tall tub edge are over. Most of our models also come with built-in grab bars, contoured seats, and non-slip floors, providing the ultimate in stability and safety while bathing. Everything about a walk-in tub is designed with your comfort in mind.
A Safer Shower Replacement
Imagine sitting and soaking after a long day in a tub that’s built for hydrotherapy. Many of our models come with jets that give you a gentle massage that eases your stiff muscles while you bathe. We have models that come with heated seats and hand-held showerheads for extra luxury and convenience.
If you’re planning on aging in place, if you’re hoping to remain within your home longer and maintain your independence, a walk-in tub is a wise investment. There’s no sacrificing dignity or comfort to address the very real safety concerns that come with bathing. A walk-in tub often reduces the need for much of the assistance older folks might need with bathing.
Keeping your new bathtub clean is a breeze, because there’s less splashing due to sitting down while you bathe. Less mess gets splattered around your bathroom, and since they’re designed for easy access, it makes cleaning them a much quicker job. We use only the most durable and mildew-resistant materials and it’s easy to wipe down the simple lines.
We have so many different styles to fit your unique space.
Some models are optimized for showering, some designed purely for soaking, and our company even offers bigger tubs for larger people. Installing them is sometimes more involved than swapping out standard bathtubs, as plumbing and electrical work is often required, but our team of experts is extremely experienced in handling these jobs. We will always make sure your install is safe and up to code.
You can't put a price on Safety
While they tend to cost more than a standard bathtub because of their specialized doors, heaters, or jets, the benefits far outweigh the price. The comfort, safety and peace of mind of having a walk-in tub makes them well worth the investment. There are also sometimes resources, health/disability programs that may offer rebates and assistance in covering the cost.
A walk-in tub will boost your home’s appeal to buyers that need accessibility, or value aging in place. Having one can be an appealing selling point for retirees and many other people when you go to sell your house.
All told, this kind of bathtub mixes comfort and convenience in a way that enhances one’s day-to-day life. If you’re in the market for a product that feels kinder to your body and grants more independence in the bathroom, it’s certainly a solid option to keep in mind.
