Walk-in tubs allow seniors to comfortably soak in warm water

For aging adults, getting in and out of the bathtub can be challenging. A walk-in bath can alleviate these concerns and allow seniors to soak comfortably in warm water. Unlike traditional tubs, many of the top brands offer safety features, such as low entry thresholds and extra grab bars. These help individuals safely get in and out of the tub, as well as reduce the risk of falling or injury.

When choosing a brand, it is important to consider the company's warranty policy and installation costs. A good rule of thumb is to find a tub with a warranty that lasts as long as you own your home and be sure the company offers financing options. This can help you spread the cost of the tub over time and prevent large up-front payments.

Relax Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd is a manufacturer that sells its tubs directly to consumers. The company's direct sales and retail partners provide varying levels of support, but all of them offer free shipping and four- to seven-day returns. Typically, these vendors don't include installation with the tub, so you will need to hire an installer or ask your local plumber for help.

Most major home improvement stores and bath remodeling companies have a few walk-in tub options to try out in their showrooms. However, these models tend to be limited in size and features. Kohler and some other manufacturers, on the other hand, will send a specialist to your home for an in-home consultation. During this visit, the expert will review your bathroom design and determine whether it is compatible with the tub you choose. They will also look at your electrical system to ensure it has the capacity to power the tub and may recommend other changes to your bathroom if necessary.

Once you have chosen your tub, the representative will provide you with a price quote that includes the cost of the tub and any additional upgrades. They will also review your home's electrical system and plumbing to make sure your tub can be installed in the location you want. If they notice any issues, they will contact you with a plan to address them before installing your tub.

Relax Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects on the tub door seal, hand shower, and faucet. It doesn't cover the hydrotherapy system or other add-ons, so it ranks lower than some competitors in this category. However, it does score high for cost transparency and offers no additional fees beyond what you are already paying for your tub.
