Who is Walk in Bathtub Supply?

We are a dedicated group of individuals that understand and recognize the troubles many people can have with traditional bathtubs and the difficult aspects that someone who is elderly, arthritic or with limited mobility may have while bathing. It can be tough to get in and out of a bathtub with a huge lip on it. These older style tubs can cause injury by easily slipping and falling. Sometimes a standard bathtub is just too small as well. That’s where we come in. Walkinbathtubsupply.com has partnered with the best manufacturers and factories in the walk in bathtub business to offer you the most complete selection, the most options, the best service out of any other company online. We import directly from these factories to offer you the lowest possible prices on our walk in bathtubs anywhere!

What is a walk in bathtub?

A walk in bathtub is a tub that features a door on a hinge. This means that when the door is opening the user can just “walk in” instead of having to step or climb over a large threshold. These doors can either be an inward swing or an outward swing… typically the inward swing would be the standard since the water on the inside of the tub would push the door making the seal even stronger, but due to some recent design changes and critical engineering improvements the outward swing door is now available and works great! The benefit of an outward swing walk in bathtub door is that it allows the user of the tub more room upon entering and exiting. The walk in bathtub will typically feature a very small threshold height for easy entrance and a secure locking mechanism to make sure there is no leaks! All of our walk in tubs are protected with a guarantee on the door seal… which means this door seal will never break or leak. A walk in bathtub is perfect for an elderly person or arthritic person who has recently lost their ability to bathe on their own. No more embarrassing bathing situations, no more humiliation. Our walk in bathtubs allow the user to comfortably and easily step inside and bathe completely on their own, let the user be independent once again!

What features are available on your walk in bathtubs?

We stock a huge variety of tubs from many different manufacturers, so if there is a feature available… we have it! Typically a standard walkin bathtub will just be a “soaker” model. This means that it’s just meant to soak and bathe in with no fancy upgrades, like a standard bathtub. These models are typically featured at lower prices and are perfectly suitable for the customer on a budget.  Many homes will use a soaker model walk in bathtub and install a shower curtain upgrade so they can both use the tub and a shower as well.

Whirlpool:

We also have walkin tubs that have whirlpool spa upgrades which is sometime called hydrotherapy jets. The whirlpool jets are essentially water jets that are pumpedthrough certain location from a motor inside the tub. These hydrotherapy whirlpool jets pump water in specified locations, this can be both massaging, relaxing and therapeutic at the same time. Many rheumatic diseases have been treated using hydrotherapy massage jets including many musculoskeletal disorders like arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. Hydrotherapy or whirlpool jets in our walkin bathtubs have also been known to increase blood circulation and stimulate many nerves and cells at the same time feel wonderful to the bather. Our walkin bathtubs with hydrotherapy jets have even been prescribed by doctors to help relieve specific conditions such as burn victims, or people who have been affected by a stroke or paralysed. Hydrotherapy can even help people who suffer from migraines.

Air Spa:

Another feature which is extremely popular is the Air Spa option. The air spa option works in collaboration with a motor which pumps air (versus water on whirlpool) through jets strategically located throughout the unit. The air jets on our walk in bathtubs can create both an amazing, relaxing, and therapeutic sensation for the user, but also benefit in many strategic ways. They can help relieve stress and knots and also increase circulation in the blood and circulatory movement. Our walk in tubs with air jets will typically have a number of different speeds that the user can control. The air jets can also help clean specific areas of the body which are hard to reach by creating friction in certain locations to kick up dirt or bacteria.

Both airspace and whirlpool jets are optional in our walkin bathtubs and even combos of the two are available. They both features adjustable speeds and strengths and can both benefit the user by providing a relaxing and comforting bathing experience but by promoting cleanliness in hard to reach areas and benefits associated with hydrotherapy treatments. Why go to a clinic for hydrotherapy treatments when can you enjoy the benefits in your own walk in bathtub in your home.

Shower Doors, Curtains, Overhead Shower Conversions:

Other options for the walk in tubs include shower doors, curtains, overhead shower attachments, and handheld shower attachments. These options are designed for someone who is interested in having a walkin bathtub but not losing the benefits associated with a shower. So with these options you can have nice glass shower doors attached to your walk in tub which give it elegant appearance. We also carry shower curtain rods and attachments to easily transform your tub into a walk in shower with out all the extra work. With mountable shower heads it is simple to have both a shower and walkin tub.

We also carry extension and surround kits for our tubs. These extension kits are designed for if you are installing a walkin tub but it is too short to fit in your location. The extension kit will allow you to stretch the look of our walk in bathtubs to make it retrofit into a standard 60”opening. The surround kit allows you to attach an acrylic surround so the bathtub is flush with wall allowing for easy shower conversion.

Chromatherapy Lighting:

Chromatherapy lighting is another amazing option which is available in a limited amount of our walkin tubs. This chromatherapy is a essentially a mood therapy developed by using multiple colors of lights to promote relaxation. The chromatherapy lights are typically found in or under the water and give the walk in bathtub a totally unique appearance with a exciting experience.
