Compact walk-in baths for a relaxing soak in small bathrooms
Not every bathroom has the space for a full-length or a mid-length bath. This is where a compact model comes in. This walk-in bath range is the smallest, made to fit where a standard bath won’t go, so you’re able to enjoy a proper seated soak, even in a small or awkward room. With a low step instead of a high bath side, and a built-in seat, getting in and out is easier and safer than a traditional bath too.
Explore our compact walk-in baths
We have two compact walk-in baths in our range, the Florida and the Vermont. Both of these models are the smallest baths we offer and allow people to bathe sitting down, with a low step and built-in seat. Take a look at each below to find the one that may suit your bathroom the best.
The Florida
The door opens inwards, which allows for no space outside the bath and fits where a standard bath wouldn’t. This makes it ideal for a small bathroom or en-suite. Step over the low threshold onto the built-in seat, and you still get a full-depth soak.
Opens inward · no outside space needed

The Vermont
Our most compact walk-in bath. The Vermont is around half the length of a standard bathtub, allowing it to fit in really tight spaces. Users can step in from the side through an outward-opening door, hinged left or right to suit your bathroom, and its clever design allows for a deep, relaxing soak.

Compare our two compact walk-in baths
Both fit where a standard bath will not, both have a built-in seat, and both cost the same. What sets them apart is the door, the step and how much water you sit in.
Five specifications are different, the other three are the same.
Both prices include the bath, delivery and installation by our own team. Your home visit and 3D design are free, and we confirm the fit before any work starts.
Compare all three bath types →Every price covers the whole service, not just the bath
The price on every one of our compact walk-in baths covers the bath itself, delivered and installed by our own employed team, plus everything it takes to finish the job and look after you once the bath is fitted.
Before any of that, your home visit and 3D design are free. We tailor to your needs, and you see your design and price first, with nothing to pay and no obligation to go ahead.
Included in the price of every compact walk-in bath
Supplied by us, delivered by our own team and installed by our expert fitters. The price you see on each bath is the price fitted, so there is nothing to add on afterwards.
If you are eligible, you will not pay VAT on your bath. Flexible finance is also available, and it’s completely optional. Check if you’re VAT exempt · See our ways to pay
Why choose a compact walk-in bath?
Choosing a compact walk-in bath for your home brings with it real, practical advantages. Here are some of the main reasons why our customers decide to go with these models.
Uses less water than a full-length bath
Due to its smaller size, a compact walk-in bath needs less water to fill, so it’s a lot gentler on your hot water supply and cheaper to use.
Leaves space for the rest of your bathroom
The small footprint doesn’t squeeze into a tight space; it ultimately frees up the floor around for other possibilities like a new basin, storage, easier turning room for wheelchair users, or maybe a separate space for a walk-in shower.
You keep your bath, instead of losing it to a replacement shower
When a bathroom is small or space is tight, the usual advice is to take out the bath and fit a shower. A compact walk-in bath means you don’t have to give up a proper soak to save space, and a shower could still be added!
Who a compact walk-in bath is best for
During our time supporting people and their bathing, we’ve come to find that compact walk-in baths suit situations much more than others. If any of the following are familiar to you, it is certainly an option you should explore further!
You've been told a bath won't fit your bathroom
Smaller bathrooms and en-suites often can’t take a standard-size bath. A compact one is the answer when you’re struggling to figure out what will work.
A full-length bath has become hard to use
If stepping over a high bath side has started to become difficult, and even risky, or getting back up is harder than it used to be. A compact walk-in bath is made for this.Â
You're adding a bath to a spare or family bathroom in the home
It is a good fit for a second bathroom, en-suite or downstairs room, without taking over the main bathroom that others in the home you love may use.
You're helping a relative bathe safely at home
You may be looking to arrange things for a parent or someone you care for in a smaller home. A compact walk-in bath helps keep things less complicated and that person bathing the way they want to, for longer.
Our compact walk-in baths are built for safety and comfort
They may be the smallest bath models in the range but that doesn’t mean they have less features. Everything that keeps you safe and comfortable is built into every compact walk-in bath, not an extra.Â
Low-threshold entry
A low step and wide door remove the need to climb over a high bath side.
Tailored seating
Choose a fixed seat for upright support, or a powered seat that gently lowers and raises you.
Enhanced safety
Slip-resistant floors and thermostatic taps come as standard, holding a safe, steady temperature.
Wheelchair access
Some walk-in bath models sit at the right height for a side transfer straight from a wheelchair.
Integrated support
Slip-resistant grab rails are placed where you need them for extra steadiness.
Easy-access controls
Simple lever taps and easy waste controls suit hands with limited grip or strength.

Our most asked questions about compact walk-in baths
Here are some of the questions our team are asked about compact walk-in baths. If yours isn’t answered below, don’t worry; we’ll happily talk you through any question you may have. Call us on 0800 999 8994.
Is a compact walk-in bath comfortable for a taller person?
Yes, much more comfortable than you’d think. A compact walk-in bath is made for sitting down rather than lying stretched out. Your height matters far less than in a traditional bath. It is a different way to bathe, but most people find that sitting in deep water is just as relaxing. During a free home visit, our team will check and make sure it suits you and your needs.
Do I have to sit in a compact walk-in bath while it fills and drains?
Yes, like any walk-in bath, you must step in and sit down before it fills and you wait for the water to drain away before you open the door to get out. The good news here is that a compact walk-in bath holds less water, so it will fill and empty much quicker, resulting in only a short wait. All of our baths are provided with thermostatic taps which keep the water at a steady temperature so it is comfortable throughout the process.
Can the door of a compact walk-in bath leak?
In normal use, no. Both the Florida and the Vermont have a lifetime leak-free seal. The door stays sealed while you bathe, and with that guarantee, it isn’t something you’ll need to worry about. If you do have a concern, our team can talk you through any issues and provide a solution.
Is a compact walk-in bath easy to keep clean?
Yes. Both the Florida and Vermont come with BioCote antimicrobial protection built into the surface. This reduces bacteria and helps keep the bath clean. Surfaces are smooth and non-porous with very few awkward corners; a quick wipe with a regular bathroom cleaner keeps things fresh. After installation, our fitting team will leave a guide on how to clean your new bathroom for further information.
How long does it take to fit a compact walk-in bath?
If you require a straightforward swap, compact walk-in bath in, old bath out, our team can do this installation in a single day. If there’s more work to do, such as moving pipework, it may take longer. We will always tell you how long the installation will be before we start any work. Our fitters take care of your home as they go, and will take your old bath away, leaving everything tidy and clean.
Will there be enough room for a carer?
Yes, as a compact bath takes up very little floor space, this usually leaves room beside it for someone to stand and help if required. With a low step and built-in seat, it makes it easier to lend a hand getting in and out. The door on the Florida is also an asset, as it opens inwards, so there is no blocker when approaching the bath. On a free home visit we’ll make sure to plan the layout of your bathroom in line with how you or a loved one needs support.Â
Can other people in the house still use a compact walk-in bath like normal?
Definitely. A compact walk-in bath is a proper bath that anyone in the home you love can use, not just those who need it for accessibility reasons. Everyone gets in the same way, and goes through the same process of filling it up and draining the water away. All of our models are designed to look modern and stylish to make sure they seamlessly fit into a bathroom.
What optional extras can I add to a compact walk-in bath, and do they cost more?
Various optional extras are available on both of our compact walk-in baths. Depending on the model, you can add an Air Spa for gentle hydrotherapy bubbles, a Bluetooth sound system, upgraded brassware, and a shower screen. Added extras are priced separately from the bath, so you only pay for any you decide to choose. They are listed clearly in your quote. The installation of your bath and any added extras are included in the price you see on our website per bath.
