Rediscover The Joy of Bathing
A walk-in bath can transform daily routines, especially if stepping over a high bath side has become difficult or worrying. With a door for entry, secure seating, and slip-resistant surfaces, it is designed to reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls while making bathing more relaxing.
These accessible bathtubs have a tiny footprint and will fit almost anywhere, including small ensuites. They allow you to enjoy a full-depth bath even with minimal space.
For a truly tailored experience, you can personalise your bath with optional features like soothing chromotherapy lighting, built-in Bluetooth audio, and a range of additional upgrades designed to enhance relaxation, promote wellbeing and independence.

Key Benefits of Walk-In Baths
Walk-in baths are designed to make bathing easier, safer, and more comfortable for users. They offer a wide range of benefits, particularly for elderly and disabled individuals, including:
Improved Safety
Mobility baths help reduce many of the risks associated with traditional bathing, such as slips, trips, and falls. Walk-in baths with low-level access makes it easier for individuals to step into the bathtub by removing the need to step over a high bath side.
Anti-slip flooring, grab-rails, and built-in seating prevents slips, improves comfort, and offers more support and stability.
Increased Independence
For older adults or individuals with changing mobility needs, bathing can become difficult to navigate. Easy access baths with supportive safety features can help individuals regain their independence and confidence and reduce reliance on carers, family members, or support workers.
Natural Pain Relief
Warm baths can be a great way of naturally relieving pain as it helps relax muscles and joints. This is particularly beneficial for people living with mobility conditions, disabilities, arthritis, or general muscle and joint pain.
Walk-in jacuzzi baths come fitted with hydrotherapy features for creating a massage effect. Some models can also include chromotherapy features to promote general health and well-being.
Enhanced Relaxation
Soaking in a warm, bubbly bath can help people unwind, relax, and take some time for themselves. At AJT Showers, we believe this should be accessible to everyone, no matter their age or mobility needs.
Walk-in baths allow users to experience relaxation without having to worry about getting in and out of the bath safely. Additional hydrotherapy and spa features can add an extra touch of luxury.
Customisable Accessibility Features
Everyone has their own individual mobility needs and preferences. Our mobility baths are highly customisable so you can create the bath of your dreams. For example, our walk-in baths can come equipped with hydrotherapy jets, Bluetooth sound systems, and chromotherapy lights.

Who Can Benefit From An Easy Access Bath?
Anyone can benefit from the luxurious relaxation offered by walk-in baths. However, mobility baths are particularly beneficial for elderly users and disabled users.
Older Adults & Seniors
A common concern for older adults is no longer being able to climb into high-sided bathtubs as their balance, strength, and mobility changes with age.
Walk-in baths with features like low-level access doors, built-in seating, and grab rails are a great solution for elderly users as they offer extra stability and comfort.
Individuals With Disabilities
Disabled walk-in baths make bathing more accessible or comfortable for individuals with chronic pain, neurological conditions, or limited mobility.
Baths with seats, easy-to-use controls, and additional support features can all help turn bathrooms into a supportive, relaxing bathing environment.
Proud to Serve All Our Customers
We are proud to have supported individuals across the South East to access safe and comfortable bathing, from elderly individuals struggling to step into their existing bathtubs, to individuals with mobility issues as a result of disabilities or medical challenges.

Walk-In Baths FAQs
What is a walk-in bath?
A walk-in bath is a bath with easy, low-level access suitable for those with mobility issues. They have integrated doors and various features to ensure the user’s safety.
Who is a walk-in bath suitable for?
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 beneficial for carers who assist others with bathing, as it allows for safer and more comfortable access.
What are the different types of walk-in baths?
There are a range of types and configurations of walk-in baths, each suited to different mobility needs and with their own benefits. Popular choices include:
- Walk-in baths with seats: Baths with seats offer comfort and stability by enabling users to bathe in a comfortable upright position instead of reclining back. Available with built-in seats and powered seats.
- Walk-in baths with jets: Walk-in jacuzzi baths combine accessibility and luxury, featuring soothing hydrotherapy jets for muscle relaxation and stress reduction.
- Upright baths: Ideal for smaller bathrooms and en-suites, upright baths are a space-saving solution designed to maximise space without having to sacrifice relaxation or comfort.
The best choice for you will depend on your mobility needs, bathroom layout, and personal preferences. Our friendly team are always on hand to talk you through your choices and help you decide on the solution for you.
What type of walk-in bath is best for the elderly?
There is no singular best type of walk-in bath for the elderly – this will depend on their mobility and bathing needs. However, some popular features that older adults might find helpful include:
- Low-level access
- Built-in or powered seats
- Grab rails
- Hydrotherapy jets
- Chromotherapy lights
If you are still unsure, get in touch with our expert team, who would be happy to discuss your needs and help you decide which options are best suited to you.
What type of walk-in bath is best for disabled users?
The best disabled walk-in bath will depend on the user’s mobility requirements and the level of support they require with bathing. Features that might be well-suited for disabled users include:
- Built-in or powered seats
- Anti-slip flooring
- Grab rails
- Easy-to-reach controls
- Wide-access doors
Our friendly team are always on hand to discuss your requirements and help you decide on the best features to suit your needs.
How much does a mobility bath cost?

Get in touch today for a free, no-obligation quote based on your needs, or read our walk-in bath costs guide.
Why should I choose a walk-in bath over a walk-in shower or wet room?
Walk-in baths, walk-in showers, and mobility wet rooms are all great options to make bathing safer, more comfortable, and more accessible for users. However, the best choice for you depends on your individual preferences and mobility needs.
Mobility baths are the best choice for individuals who want to continue to enjoy long, relaxing soaks in the bath. They allow you to fully submerge yourself in warm water, which can be a natural way of relaxing muscles and joints and reducing pain.
Are walk-in baths easy to install?
Walk-in baths can generally be installed quickly and easily by professionals as part of a complete bathroom redesign or to replace an existing, standard bathtub. It can require some plumbing work, as well as electrical work in some instances, so it is important to work with installers you can trust.
At AJT Showers, our team of Which? Trusted Traders are dedicated to making the installation of your mobility bath easy and stress-free. We work efficiently to minimise disruption in your home and leave your bathroom looking clean and tidy.
Are mobility baths suitable for wheelchair users?
Mobility baths can be adapted to be suitable for wheelchair users. Baths with wide door openings, transfer-friendly seating, and supportive grab rails can be used by some wheelchair users.
However, the most suitable bathing solution will depend on the user’s specific mobility requirements and bathroom layout. Speak to our friendly team to better understand which options are best for you.
Do walk-in baths leak?
Walk-in baths are designed with watertight doors that seal securely when closed, so they should not leak if properly installed and maintained.
How long does it take for a walk-in bath to fill/drain?
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.
Can I get a grant to help with the cost of installing a mobility bath?
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.
