Power-Assisted Walk-In Baths: Bathing Independence with a Powered Lift Seat
Extra support for getting in and out of the bath
For some people, the biggest barrier to enjoying a bath isn’t the water, it’s lowering safely down into it and getting back up again afterwards. A power-assisted walk-in bath solves exactly this problem: at the touch of a button, an integrated powered seat gently lowers and raises you, so you can enjoy a relaxing bath with far greater confidence, safety and independence.
Who benefits most from a powered seat bath
A power-assisted walk-in bath is worth considering if you find it difficult to lower yourself into or get out of a traditional bath, if you’d benefit from the assistance of a powered lift seat, or if you simply want the reassurance of a bath designed specifically around your mobility needs while still enjoying a proper soak rather than a quick wash.
How it works
The integrated powered seat is operated using simple, waterproof controls. At the touch of a button, the seat gently lowers you into the bath and raises you back up again once you’re ready to get out, reducing physical effort throughout. A wide, low-level entry door removes the need to climb over the side of a traditional bath, further reducing the risk of falls.
Once lowered into position, you can relax in a warm bath while remaining comfortably supported the whole time. Our power-assisted baths are available in both traditional straight and contemporary P-shaped styles, so accessibility doesn’t have to come at the expense of a bathroom you actually like the look of.
