Baths with Doors for Easy Access

The Talis

Our Baths with Doors are available in a variety of sizes and styles to meet the diverse requirements of our clients, from young to elderly, to those who need assistance.

Our standard Walk-in Baths are The Cambridge and The Sceptre, suitable in a family bathroom whilst providing access via a door for those who prefer not to step over the side of the bath. For something with additional features and contemporary styling, try The Talis bath.

Shower units can be used with all baths but The Satin and The Crystal P-shaped baths with doors are specially designed to give bathers more room for showering.

The Topaz 2

If you want to replace an existing bath, The Topaz 2 is a modern bath of standard dimensions but with a door and a moulded seat.

If space is critical, we have a number of compact baths with doors to offer which incorporate a seat, making it easier to return to a standing position to leave the bath. These include popular choices The Sierra and Sierra Compact, The Sapphire 1 and Sapphire 2 plus a front-opening compact sit-in bath, The Scorpio.

Other practical bathing solutions include The Solar with a front door that folds downwards, enabling transfer from a wheelchair, and The Dublin which has been designed for bathers who require larger facilities.

Bath Time - and it's great to have feedback

At practical bathing, we do our best for our customers so it is always good when we receive feedback, following our bath, shower, toilet or wetroom installations.

The following was received from the nephew of an elderly client:

"Many thanks for the efforts of all involved in installing the new bath in my aunt's flat. 

Everything was done with the greatest of consideration and the bath and bathroom were left in as ready a state for use as possible. 

Mrs S----- is now getting used to the bath and has found that it not only offers the bathing she hoped for but also a very suitable arrangement for her visiting hairdresser."

Revamped Bathroom for improved style, safety and ease of use.

Mrs Wallace was finding her bathroom hard to use, and also a bit old fashioned. The mint green suite comprised an old cast iron bath and an inset basin. These were to be updated with a new white suite, including a walk-in bath/shower unit, to provide a more contemporary look plus improved versatility and functionality.

We advised that the Sapphire 1 walk in bath and a new basin with lever turn taps would meet her needs perfectly.

We installed the walk-in bath/shower unit with a shower curtain and some steadying grab rails. We replaced the wash hand basin with a slightly smaller version, rebuilt the surround, and fitted the new taps which are much easier to turn on and off.

The before and after photographs show how the bathroom is now more welcoming, brighter and conducive to safer bathing - suitable for all family members, including the elderly or infirm.

The Sapphire walk-in bath options include a therapeutic air spa.

Wetroom Conversion in Dulwich (for 'disabled' use)

"before"

We were asked to convert a redundant room into a ground floor wet room. As specialists in creating safe environments for disabled and elderly customers, this was well within our capabilities.

To prepare the room, an external door that was not in use was panelled over. Access to the room would be via an existing door from the hall. The floor was fitted with coved and welded non slip vinyl, making a waterproof, safe and hygienic environment. All the walls were fitted with waterproof laminated panels.

The wash-hand basin was relocated to the wall where the door used to be, allowing ample space to install a new tall toilet and a shower area. We added a thermostatically controlled shower valve, folding shower seat and half-height doors around the shower area.

There was no heating nor ventilation in the room. We added an extractor, a panel radiator and a warm air blower to provide comfort as well as practicality to the family wetroom.

The final result - a bright, functional, easy to clean wetroom, making excellent use of a redundant room.
