Walk-In Tubs: Luxury or Necessity?

Walk-in Bath Features

The traditional bathtub has fallen out of usage today when families and young people have heavy work schedules and smaller homes. At Pacific Bath Company, we’ve noticed the trend towards more accessible bathing solutions, like walk-in showers and bath to shower conversions.

There isn’t as much time available to soak in the bath, while a shower offers flexibility to homeowners. A shower is easy to use when you want to clean up quickly and can also offer a luxurious treat when you take a long, steamy shower to relax.

Walk-in Tub Installation When Aging in Place

As homeowners get closer to retirement, they might want to consider installing another option in their bathroom. Walk-in tubs are also a convenient and flexible bathing solution that makes living at home independently easier.

Those who start having mobility problems, especially with their balance, may not feel safe using the shower. It’s possible to install a shower seat in an existing shower, which is more convenient. For those who also want to enjoy a deep soaking tub, a walk-in bath is an option.

Walk-in tub installation has also evolved into a fast and very cost-effective option, especially when taking into account the longer lifespans people are enjoying now. You may want to age in place at home for as long as possible, which could be decades. The walk-in tub makes living at home safer and more comfortable during that time.

Pacific Bath Company even offers tubs with a range of spa-like features, including:

  • Hydrotherapy jets
  • Handheld showerheads
  • Built-in, padded seating
  • Fast-filling and draining tubs

When you are getting older, consider making the switch to a walk-in tub now. It’s a practical way to improve your safety in the home.

Pacific Bath Company offers fast walk-in tub installation with flexible financing options that make it even more affordable. Give us a call or fill out our online form to find out more about our accessible bathing solutions during a free consultation with one of our walk-in tub installers.
