Safe Step Modern Walk-In Bathtub Allows You To Have A Much Safer Bathing Experience

Experience The Safety Features You Seek

A Safe Step walk-in bathtub is designed for anyone with restricted mobility to enter and enjoy one of the safest bathing experiences possible by simply walking in. Our walk-in bathtub is designed to help people who have problems getting in and out of a standard bathtub (such as the elderly), and they reduce the risk of slipping and falling in the tub. As a result, they are built for safety in the bathroom.

Furthermore, instead of having more horizontal space as with a typical bathtub, our walk-in bathtubs offer vertical features that take up less space, and they can be fitted into almost any bathroom space.

While anyone can benefit from the features of a Safe Step walk-in bathtub, the design is specifically intended for the elderly, people with disabilities, recovering athletes, people who are physically injured, people who need hydrotherapy for health or skin conditions, people who are overweight and have trouble fitting comfortably in a regular tub and people who are movement impaired and need assistance with balance, coordination, or mobility.

All of our Safe Step walk-in bathtubs come standard with a sanitary gel coat, an anti-slip seat and floor, anti-Scald Technology, two built-in grab bars, ten hydro massage jets, a pre-installed four-inch step-in height, a handheld shower wand, and a safe water Ozone cleaning system, in contrast to some basic bathtubs on the market that only have a few features.

A walk-in bathtub can almost be compared to a hot tub experience because it submerges you up to your torso in warm water, which provides several health advantages for aches and pains, and it can even lessen the discomfort of burns and ulcers. Safe Step bathtubs are also equipped with hydrotherapy jets as part of the design, which can further help relax the body and support long-term improvement in muscular health.

How much can I expect to pay for a walk-in bathtub?

Walk-in bathtubs generally come with a ton of great amenities, but because they are so different from regular bathtubs, one must also be realistic about the cost of purchase and installation. On the bottom of the range, a walk-in bathtub could cost as little as $1,000, but at this price point, you often only get the handrails and anti-slip flooring, which are considered the basic features. Any additional amenities, such as hydrotherapy jets, anti-scald valves, and heated seats, will without a doubt increase the cost.

You can expect to pay anything between $3,000 and $5,000 (and more) for the latest, most innovative model with several extra features. The size of the bathtub and the extras you want will therefore determine the overall cost, although some people feel it might be more cost-effective to start with a basic walk-in tub and add additional features later on.

In general, anyone looking for a safer, more pleasant bathing experience might benefit from a Safe Step walk-in bathtub. Fall prevention while entering or exiting the bathtub is the primary reason senior people and those with mobility problems, prefer to invest in our walk-in bathtubs. It is safer than a typical bathtub thanks to its clever design which include a nonslip floor, high walls, grab bars and a built-in seat.

As mentioned before, a Safe Step walk-in tub is taller than a regular bathtub and resembles a box with a watertight door on one side. Once that door has opened, you can access the tub by simply stepping over a very low threshold. Because of this, bathing can be a completely safe and comfortable experience for seniors and those with mobility problems.

After bathing, when you are ready to exit the bathtub, you simply pull the handle inside the tub to open the water drain. Like when you entered, you need to stay inside the tub and wait for it to empty, before you can open the door and step out, and while waiting for this may sound inconvenient, the draining process is actually quite quick.
