What is an upright bath?
An upright bath (also known as a sit-up bath, walk-in bath, or vertical bath) is a specially designed bath that allows users to bathe while sitting upright, ideal for all spaces and for those with limited mobility. Upright baths combine the comfort of a deep soak with a space-saving or full-length design that fits effortlessly into any bathroom.
Unlike traditional bathtubs, upright baths are typically shorter in length but deeper, meaning they take up less floor space while still providing a full‑depth soak. They can be installed as compact footprint tubs for tight spaces or as full‑length options for a more indulgent experience, fitting beautifully into en‑suites, loft conversions, and larger family bathrooms alike.
Key benefits of upright baths
These accessible bathtubs have a tiny footprint and will fit almost anywhere, including small en-suites. They allow you to enjoy a full-depth bath even with minimal space.

Upright baths: FAQs
Do upright baths leak when you open the door?
No. Upright baths are designed with watertight, sealed doors that only open once the water has fully drained away. As long as the door is closed and locked before filling, you can bathe with confidence that no water will escape.
Can other family members use an upright bath comfortably?
Yes. Upright baths are designed to be practical for the whole household, not just those with mobility needs. Many models offer enough internal space and adjustable features so partners, carers, and other family members can use the bath comfortably and safely.
What can my upright bath be customised with?
We can customise your upright bath to include a range of features, including:
- Air spa hydrotherapy features
- Chromotherapy features
- Bluetooth sound system
- Shower screens
We can also colour-match your bath to your bathroom, so you can rest assured your new upright bath will fit right in.
How long does a walk-in bath take to fill?
The amount of time a walk-in bath takes to fill depends on a number of factors, such as the water pressure going into your property and the plumbing system you have. This is something we take into consideration during our initial home visit.
Do your walk-in bath door seals come with a lifetime warranty?
Yes, the door seals on our walk-in baths come with a lifetime warranty.
How long does a bathroom installation take?
Most bathroom installations take between 1–2 weeks, depending on the size of the room and the complexity of the design. During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear timeframe so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need to hire separate tradespeople?
No our team handles everything. From plumbing and electrics to tiling and finishing touches, we provide a complete bathroom installation service, so you won’t need to coordinate multiple contractors.
Will I be able to use my bathroom during the installation?
We understand the importance of convenience. Toilet facilities will remain available in your home throughout the process, and we’ll keep you informed at every stage to minimise disruption.
Are upright baths suitable for small or awkward spaces?
Yes, upright baths are particularly well‑suited to small or awkward rooms because they have a compact footprint and free up valuable floor space. We regularly install upright baths in en‑suites, loft conversions, and unusual layouts, suggesting solutions that maximise both space and accessibility.
What if I want an accessible or elderly-friendly bathroom?
We regularly design and install bathrooms tailored to specific needs, including walk-in showers, wet rooms, comfort-height toilets, and grab rails. We’ll create a safe, stylish space that supports independence without compromising on design.
