Marble-effect bathroom with a whirlpool bath

A walk-in bath has a watertight door, so you can step in with ease. For many people, it brings back the simple pleasure of a relaxing soak.

Who they suit

  • People who love a bath and want an easier way in and out.
  • People who prefer to sit while bathing.

Things to consider

  • You step in before filling, and step out once it has drained.
  • A good hot-water supply gives the best experience.
  • They take up a similar space to a standard bath.

Great alternatives

A level-access shower or wet room is quick and easy to use every day. An occupational therapist can advise which suits you best.

Grant funding

Where a disabled person needs a walk-in bath or level-access shower, a Disabled Facilities Grant from the council can help, and the council’s assessment recommends the best solution. Adaptations for a disabled person can also qualify for zero-rated VAT.
