Written by Stephen Ryan | Jul 9, 2020 1:40:08 PM

You’ve probably heard about, seen, or even used a walk-in bathtub before in somebody’s house, but you haven’t gotten around to getting one for yourself. If you’re designing a bathroom remodel, this is your opportunity to find out more about walk-in tubs so you can decide if they’re perfect for you.

To help you decide, here are some of the best benefits of owning a walk-in tub.

Safety

Bathrooms are where many people get hurt because hard, slippery surfaces and water make for a hazardous combination. Walking over the edge of a tub can put you at unnecessary risk. The door of a walk-in tub makes it easy to enter and exit it. Walk on the non-slip material, hold on to the grab rails, and sit comfortably on a safe seat.

For All Ages

A walk-in bathtub should be part of your bathroom home improvements if you want a tub that’s perfect for all ages, particularly if you plan to age in place. When one gets old, it can be more challenging and dangerous to get into a regular tub. With a walk-in tub, you can enter and exit the tub without assistance, and you can enjoy its functionality with dignity.

Health Benefits

You can choose a walk-in tub with features that can help care for your health. Walk-in tub owners like the jets of water that massage their tired bodies after a long day at work. The jets can help reduce swelling, pain, and fatigue. It can also help improve blood circulation. Whether you’re healing from an injury or simply want to free your muscles of tension, a walk-in tub can help.

Luxury

A good walk-in tub can be something to look forward to, especially if it’s equipped for luxurious baths. Enjoy some aromatherapy or hydrotherapy right at home. You can also soak your body and let the jets rid you of tension. Many realtors have found that a luxurious walk-in tub can raise a home’s value, as well, so you can easily recoup some of that bathroom renovation cost.
