Buying a handicapped bath can be a major expense, so before you buy you should take some time to look around and see what is available, to ensure you get the features you need and want. Different companies sell vastly different models from regular size tubs with showers that have a door, eliminating the need to step over the tub wall, to full size walk in baths that allow you to luxuriate in a warm bath up to your neck and never worry about getting up out of the tub. What you decide to purchase will depend largely on your needs, for some it is simply not having to step over the bath tub wall and for others it may be the need for a tall seat that allows them to sit while bathing or showering. Others might need grab rails to keep themselves steady while others may need full walk in showers that a wheel chair can be pushed up to. Whatever your needs there is probably a handicapped bath that will suit them. A handicapped bath comes in various sizes to accommodate larger people, or smaller sizes to fit in small bathrooms. Some handicapped baths also feature showers along with glass shower doors or curtains giving you the option between a shower and a bath.

This might be a particularly nice thing if you are sharing your tub with other family members who may prefer showering to bathing. Another nice feature many walk in tubs have on them is whirlpool jets, these are particularly nice for those that may have arthritis, joint or back problems or simply need relief for stiff and sore muscles. If you choose this feature be sure your handicapped bath has the ability to maintain the temperature of the water for longer soaks. There are a few features you want to be sure your handicapped bath does have, such as a low step for those who may be unable to step more than an inch, grab rails with which to steady oneself with, a wide door for ease of access and a non slip floor and seat to ensure there are no accidents. The last and probably most important feature your handicapped bath should have is a solid warranty.

Many companies offer cheap prices that may seem attractive, but then you get your bath home and after a few months the door seal starts to leak. If you do not have a warranty you may be out of lucky. The company you choose should offer a lifetime warranty on the seals for the door and the water jets for no leakage. Reputable companies should also offer you are good warranty on the rest of the body and frame.
