Who Might Need A Walk-In Bath?
- Those who have trouble getting in & out of a standard tub
- Those who fear falling while bathing
- Those who have difficulty standing up, or sitting down using standard bathtubs
- Those who have arthritis, or joint pain
- Those who use a wheelchair, or are immobile
- Those who have difficulty fitting in a standard tub
Types To Know
Soaker
As the name suggests, a soaker tub quite simply gives you a place to “soak,” and is often constructed with a deep shape, that contours to your body.
Bariatric
A bariatric walk-in tub is a special type of bathtub that features an extra-large cabin (width typically > 30in.), and a low step-in threshold door.
Since bariatric walk-in baths have larger dimensions than other walk-in baths, they are especially great for larger-sized individuals, that require a more spacious soak, or more senior individuals, who have mobility issues maneuvering a standard bathtub.
These are sturdy bathtubs, that can often support upwards of 600lbs.
Wheelchair Accessible
A wheelchair accessible walk-in tub is a type of tub where the door is larger than the average and is L-shaped so that wheelchair users can safely slide from their chair to their tub.
Hydrotherapy
A hydrotherapy walk-in tub is a type of walk-in unit that features water jets, or whirlpool jets (interchangeably named). Hydrotherapy refers to the therapeutic use of water.
Aerotherapy
An aerotherapy walk-in tub is a type of walk-in tub that shoots oxygen into the water. These oxygen jets provide a soothing-feeling gentle massage, with millions of microbubbles that caress your skin.
As you’ve probably guessed, aerotherapy refers to the therapeutic use of oxygen.
Chromotherapy
A chromotherapy unit is a type that uses a LED lighting arrangement, to enhance relaxation while soaking.
Chromotherapy uses the science of colors to adjust body frequencies or more simply put, the use of colors to improve things like mood, and energy.
Lay Down
A lay down walk in tub is a type of walk in bathtub that allows you to soak while lying down, instead of sitting. Like regular walk in baths, lay down walk in baths feature a low barrier to entry door, for added protection.
Also, please note, lay down walk in baths require a more mobile user than standard walk in baths would.
This is because you’ll have to use your arms as supports, and bend your knees significantly to “lay down” and use these tubs.
Combination
A combination walk in bathtub is a type of walk in tub that features 2 or more of the categories above.
For example, if you’re a larger-sized individual, who wants an awesome hydrotherapy arrangement, you could choose a bariatric walk-in tub with whirlpool features.
What To Look For When Selecting
ADA Compliance
In September 2010, the Department of Justice established the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for accessible design. (2)
This act ensures access to the built environment for those with disabilities, in the form of products that are safer, easier to use, and more comfortable.
If you see a walk in bathtub that is “ADA Certified/Compliant,” you know that tub has been officially checked, tested, and regulated for safety. Also, its worth mentioning that ADA Compliance extends to other tub models too, like certain alcove bathtubs for those who still have enough mobility to lay down.
A low-step in threshold
All walk-in tubs feature an inward, or outward swinging door, with a step-in threshold that usually ranges from 3 to 8 inches. Ideally, look for walk in bathtubs with the lowest step-in threshold as possible.
This helps to reduce knee bending.
Textured floors
Textured floors are a must for walk-in tubs, as they greatly reduce the likelihood of slipping, and falling for users.
According to a study from the Los Angeles Times, 81% of bathroom injuries occur from falling. (3)
Grab bars
Most walk in tubs on the market today will come with 1-2 metal or plastic bars, located either on the inside of the tub or just outside its swinging door.
They are crucial in providing added stability when entering, exiting, sitting down, and getting up from your tub.
Quick-filling and draining
Since walk in tubs often hold more water (40-80 gallons on avg.) than your standard bathtub (25-45 gallons on avg.), it’s key to choose a unit that has quick-filling and quick-draining.
The best walk-in bathtubs on the market today take under 3min. to fill (179sec.), and just over a min. to drain (80sec.).
An integrated handheld showerhead
Most walk in baths will come with an integrated handheld showerhead, so users can shower safely while sitting in the comfort of their tub.
In-line heater
An in-line heater is a must when it comes to keeping your water warmer for longer, while you soak. Walk in baths without an in-line heater are a no-no, as they often get cold in only 10min after filling.
Heated seats
Heated seats are a welcome bonus when it comes to walk in bathtubs, as they’re not found in every unit.
They are essential in keeping your bathing experience warm and comfortable, while your water fills from the second you enter the tub.
Dimensions that fit
Choosing the correct walk in tub for your bathroom starts with making sure that its dimensions fit your room.
Keep in mind, walk in tubs feature an inward-swinging, or an outward-swinging door, so you must take those dimensions into consideration.
Power requirements
Most walk-in units on the market today will require 120V, or 240V input power, with dedicated circuits. That said, to properly install these units you’ll need the help of a licensed electrician.

If you're looking for the best walk-in tub that money can buy, the Malibu stands above the rest because it holds safety as its first priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of a walk-in tub?
The average cost of a walk-in tub is around $2,000-$6,000. Installation costs for these tubs usually range from $1,000-$3,000, the latter being if the tub has a hydrotherapy system.
How many gallons of water are in a walk-in tub?
Most walk-in bathtubs hold around 40-80 gallons of water. Standard bathtubs, in comparison, only hold around 25-50 gallons of water.
How long does it take for a walk-in tub to fill up?
On average, a standard walk-in tub takes 4-7 minutes to fill up. The best walk-in units on the market cut that time down to just under 3 minutes.
Safety Considerations
When choosing the best walk in tub for your bathroom, it's vitally important that you take all the necessary safety precautions.
These walk in tubs are usually much heavier than your standard bathtubs, especially when filled with water, and often contain hydrotherapy systems, which have electrical requirements.
As you know, water and electricity do not mix, so installing the unit properly is a must.
To ensure proper installation, its recommended that you utilize a licensed plumber, and a licensed electrician for help.
If you live in the US, you can check if your walk in tub is certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), to ensure safety. (4)
If you live in CA, you can check if your walk in tub is certified by Canada Standards Association (CSA Group). (5)
In addition to these certifications, you'll want to make sure that your walk in tub is certified by:
- The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (6)
- The Edison Testing Labs of North American (ETL) Electrical Certification (7)
- The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Compliance) (2)
Walk-In Tub Benefits - 3 Most Important To Know
#1 Helps prevent injuries
As stated earlier by Paying For Senior Care,
"375 Americans are injured every day in the bathtub or shower, and 1/3 of those injuries are serious enough to require a hospital visit?" (1)
Those are absolutely terrifying statistics, but the good news is...
The use of walk in tubs drastically increases bathroom safety for the elderly or those who need them help to reduce these scary numbers.
#2 Helps you gain back independence
As people age, inevitably, they'll start to lose mobility. Whether it's driving a car, or taking a bath, losing your ability to do "normal things," is not fun.
With that said, the addition of the right walk in tub can help to put the power back in your hands, and bathe safely, independently, and with more confidence.
#3 Gives your friends and family "peace of mind"
Preventing accidents before they happen not only helps you, but it also has a massive positive ripple effect on your friends and family whether you know it or not. Gifting yourself or someone you love a walk-in tub shows you value health and well-being, which attracts positive emotions from everyone that sees.
It's not just a walk-in tub that you're buying, it's care, compassion, and love.
