The Benefits and Features of Walk-In Baths
Are you wondering if it’s time to invest in a walk-in bath, and are they any good?Â
If your mobility makes using a traditional bath difficult and you need more assistance, a walk-in tub might be just what you need. It’s a great way to maintain your independence while enjoying a warm soak in a safe, comfortable environment.
With Age Care, you don’t have to compromise on style. You can have an easily accessible bathroom with a mobility-friendly toilet, sink, shower, and walk-in bath — all designed to suit your personal needs and taste.Â
Our Walk-In Tub Features
We specialise in fitting walk-in baths with all the accessibility features you need to bathe comfortably. Let’s explore the features that set them apart from traditional baths:
Added Mobility Aids
A walk-in tub provides added safety to any bathroom. With our mobility fittings, we can install handles to support you getting in and out of a bath. They provide support and stability, greatly minimising the risk of slips and falls.
Improved Entry and Exit
Stepping into a traditional bathtub often requires navigating a high edge and a slippery surface, which can be both difficult and unsafe. Walk-in baths offer a safer solution with their low entry step. You simply open your bath door, take a small step, sit down and close the door behind you. Once you’re sitting down, and the door is locked into place, it forms a watertight seal.Â
Shower Options
Additional features include a shower screen and an overhead shower, offering you the flexibility of a walk-in shower bath.
Sound and Lighting
To make your bathroom a peaceful sanctuary, we offer hydrotherapy spa features and chromotherapy lights. These enhancements can help set a relaxing mood, reduce stress, and improve your overall well-being.
If you enjoy listening to music while bathing, we also provide a Bluetooth sound system. Music is known to support mental health, while helping to reduce anxiety and depression.
During the design process, we can customise your bath with these features, as well as different taps, non-slip surfaces, and easy-to-reach filler controls positioned right next to your seat.
No matter your needs, you can have the bathroom of your dreams.

Walk-In Bath Benefits
If using a regular shower or bath is difficult, a walk-in bath for disabled and elderly people can make bathing safe and enjoyable. Let’s discover why our walk-in baths can better support you:
Therapeutic
With built-in jets, our tubs provide added relaxation during your bath time. Stress can be a big factor to your general health,and having a bath can have a big impact on your mental and physical health.Â
As the jets flow, the water helps you heal from pain, fatigue, aching muscles, tension, swelling, injuries and other issues. The water helps to improve blood circulation and immunity so you have better overall health.Â
Gaining Independence
A walk-in bath is designed to provide you with the freedom to enter on your own without help. We can fit a powered seat to assist laying down and standing safely.
Aiding Pain Management
Unlike a standard tub, the seat in a walk-in tub also allows for better pain management. Pain conditions such as arthritis, past injuries, and those caused by ageing can make standing in a shower or getting in and out of a regular tub difficult, and the seat gives you a simple way to soak your pain away. Warm water is tried, tested, and proven to combat pain. Your baths can be even more pain-relieving with a walk-in tub.
Wide Selection
Our walk-in baths come in two main sizes: a full-length model and a deep soak one:
- Full-Length Tubs: These allow for lying down and are perfect for those who can sit and stand without assistance. Models like the Arizona, Indiana, and Highgrove are modern, comfortable, and popular choices. You’ll enjoy a traditional bathing experience with much easier access.
- Deep Soak Baths: Ideal for those with a smaller bathroom footprint, our deep soak baths — including the Florida and Georgia models — offer extra depth compared to standard tubs. The deep-soak design provides extra depth while allowing for upright seating.
Besides practical features, our walk-in baths are available in many different designs and styles. We discuss our collection of different tubs in detail in our brochure, where you can see the shapes and exact dimensions of each bath type.
