Walk in Bath FAQs
General questions about bathrooms, fitting and MobilityPlus
A walk-in bath is a bathtub that has watertight doors, allowing people to get into and out of the bathtub without having to lower themselves down into it.
Walk-in baths are usually compact and can be made so that the person sits up while bathing, but there are also more traditional walk-in baths that are full-length, allowing the person to lie down to enjoy their bathing.
There are also walk-in baths that have lifts which go one step further and help the person into the bath without them having to step through the door itself.
Walk-in baths create a much easier bathing experience for those with mobility issues, whether they are elderly or have low mobility in general.
Walk-in baths work by having the person open the door of the bathtub, step in via the very low threshold, enter and then close the door behind them, sealing the bathtub so that no water can escape.
Once you are settled in the walk-in bath, you select the temperature of the water you’d like, fill up the bathtub and then relax as you enjoy a luxurious bathing experience. Once finished, you simply drain the water, open the door and step out of the walk-in bath.
The cost of a walk-in bath can vary depending on the features that you want for it, as they can come with different options. Some of the factors affecting price are:
- The features that you choose for your walk-in bath
- The style of the bathtub, as there are some varieties
- Whether you choose to include any luxury additions, such as our innovative bath fillers
One potential downside of walk-in baths is that they can take longer to fill and drain than traditional tubs, depending on size. However, the added safety and therapeutic benefits greatly outweigh this.
Walk-in baths are specifically designed with certain features in mind, making the bathing experience much better for those with low mobility. The low-threshold entry point means that people can easily enter and exit the bath after bathing, while features such as hand grab rails making getting into the seat for bathing, safer and more manageable. They are great additions for creating mobility and disability-friendly bathrooms.
There are also features such as anti-slip flooring designed to minimise the risk of anyone slipping, while the super-safe and easy to use temperature controls mean that you can select the perfect bathing temperature, whether this is in the walk-in bath or before getting into the bathtub.

The time it takes to fill a walk-in bath will depend on the size of the tub and the water pressure in your home. On average, a walk-in bath can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to fill.
