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 offer the best of both worlds, available in compact designs to save space or as full-length options for a more indulgent soak. They fit beautifully into any bathroom, from en-suites and loft conversions to larger family spaces.

FAQs

Advantages of a walk-in bath include:

  • Easier access with a low step.
  • Safer with non-slip floors and grab bars.
  • Comfortable seating for seated bathing.
  • Good for mobility issues or the elderly.
  • Optional features like jets for relaxation.

A walk-in bath is suitable for anyone who finds it difficult or unsafe to step over a traditional bathtub. This includes elderly people, individuals with limited mobility, people with disabilities, or those recovering from surgery or injury. It’s also helpful for carers who assist others with bathing, as it allows for safer and more comfortable access.

Walk-in baths are designed with watertight doors that seal securely when closed, so they should not leak if properly installed and maintained.

A walk-in bath usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes to fill and 3 to 7 minutes to drain, depending on your home’s water pressure and plumbing. Some models have fast-fill taps and quick-drain systems to reduce waiting time.

Yes, in the UK, you may be able to get a grant to help with the cost of installing an accessible bathroom, such as a walk-in bath. The most common option is the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), which is provided by local councils to help people with disabilities make necessary changes to their home.

To qualify, you usually need to:

  • Be disabled or living with someone who is.
  • Own the property or be a tenant with the landlord’s permission
  • Have the work recommended by an occupational therapist.

The amount you can get depends on your income, savings, and local authority rules. Some councils may also offer discretionary grants or funding for elderly or low-income individuals.

You should contact your local council to check what support is available in your area and how to apply.
