The installation process of a walk in bath is an important step in creating a safe and accessible bathroom for seniors and people with limited mobility. Below is a general description of the installation process of a walk in bath.

Step 1: Preparation

Before starting the installation, you need to make sure the location of the walk in bath is suitable. The bathtub should be placed on a flat, firm surface and there should be sufficient space for installation and access to water pipes and drainage.

Step 2: Removal of the old bathtub

If a bathtub is already present, it must be removed before the walk in bath can be installed. Make sure all water pipes and drains are properly shut off before you start removing the old bathtub.

Step 3: Installation of the walk in bath

The walk in bath is usually delivered in one piece and should be installed where the old bathtub was. The bathtub needs to be fixed and aligned so that the water can drain properly.

Step 4: Connection of water pipes and drainage

Next, the water pipes and drainage need to be connected to the walk in bath. This should be done carefully to avoid leaks. We recommend hiring a professional to carry out this step.

Step 5: Electrical connection

If the walk in bath has an electric pump, it needs to be connected to a socket. This should be done by a qualified electrician.

Step 6: Finish

The final step is the finish. The walk in bath should be sealed and finished with tiles or another material of your choice. Any accessories such as handles and non-slip mats should also be installed.

Installing a walk in bath can be a complex process and requires specific skills and knowledge. We therefore recommend always having the installation carried out by a professional. With the right walk in bath and correct installation, you can once again enjoy a safe and accessible bathtub for many years to come.
