10 Reasons You Should Consider a Walk-in Bath

10 Reasons You Should Consider a Walk-in Bath

Opting for a walk-in bath can be easy to consider for some. But for others, especially those who might be new to needing to adapt elements of their life to comply with age or health issues, it may be a more difficult decision.

At JT Spas, we’ve been supplying luxury bathroom furniture, including walk-in baths for a long time. Over this time, we’ve worked with and helped improve the lives of so many customers who needed that extra bit of help to enjoy one the best times of the day; bath time.

Here are 10 reasons you should consider a walk in bath.



  1. Walk-in baths will make your life physically easier


If your main issue is struggling to get in the bath, you can say goodbye to physical inability and hello to easy access to your favourite time of the day.

Walk in baths have easy locking, watertight doors that make it simple to enter and exit the bath - meaning no need to struggle getting your leg over the side of the bath, or feel a dent in your dignity as a family member tries to help you. And if you opt for a bath with a lift, sitting down and getting up from the bath won’t be a problem anymore either.


  1. Walk in baths will enhance your quality of life


As you get older, or start to deal with more health conditions, sometimes you may not be able to do all of the things you’d like to, or the things that you used to do. However, sometimes, with simple alterations to the way you do things, you can keep the elements of your life that you enjoy - enhancing your overall quality of life.

So if you’ve always loved a bath, you won’t need to do without the experience for any longer. Opting for a walk-in bath will both make things easier for you, and allow you to continue to enjoy one of your favourite things in life.


  1. Walk-in baths will aid your independence


Getting older, or becoming more unwell can be frustrating. Especially when you have to start relying on others to do the things you’ve always been completely independent doing yourself. Choosing a walk in bath will let you maintain some independence, preventing you from having to rely so much on others.



  1. A walk-in bath can be safer


Rather than struggling to get in your existing bath (or avoiding the bath completely), the safety features of a walk in bath can help you prevent falls and further injury by providing easy and safe access into your bathtub. Also, it’ll make things a lot easier for your family/carer. Rather than struggle to assist you into the bath safely, they can either give you minimal assistance, or they may not even have to be involved at all!


  1. You can still experience the health benefits of a bath


Baths have lots of health benefits including reducing inflammation and controlling blood sugar. A walk in bath will make sure you still have the option to experience these health benefits safely and easily.


  1. You can opt for luxury features


Walk-in baths can come with additional features that even regular baths don’t have. For example, at JT Spas, we sell walk-in baths with LED lights and built in hydrotherapy options such as whirlpools to enhance your bathing experience.



  1. Walk in baths are easily installed


Installing a walk in bath may not be as difficult as you think. And you won’t need to do anything - your plumber/bathroom fitter should be able to install your walk in bath no different to how they would a traditional bath. Even if you opt for a bath with a lift that has extra electrical requirements, the bath manufacturer will arrange to install this element for you - so you won’t have anything to worry about.


  1. Size doesn’t always matter


Even if you have a small space, you may still be able to opt for a walk-in bath as they come in lots of different sizes. From full size 1800mm x 800mm options, to smaller 900mm x 650mm baths, there’ll hopefully be an option for you and your bathroom.


  1. They can look just like normal baths


If you’re worried about installing an ugly bath that your family also has to use, don’t. There are so many options for stylish, modern baths with walk-in features that don’t stand out in your bathroom. Your family shouldn’t notice any difference and will more than likely just be pleased that the bath is more accessible for you.


 

  1. Walk-in baths are easy to clean


Whether you’ll be doing the cleaning yourself, or a family member will be helping out, cleaning your walk-in bath will be simple as accessibility is so easy.
